 For some months there has been a
 controversy between MT. Burleson,
 postmaster general of the United
 States, and the steamship companies over the carrying of Alaska mails. All these months the people of Alaska have been without adequate mail serv- ice and paying full postal rates. This controversy, as we understand, arises from failure of the postal department to fix mail contracts on a fair basis on account of increased cost of steam ship operation during the war; the steamship companies being allowed to advance rates but being denied any increased rate for carrying the mail from the government. After all, it is the Alaska people that suffer as a result of this controversy. If it is fair to increase freight rates, is 1t not equally fair to allow the companies increased compensation for carrying the Alaska mails? Alaska people have endured the inconvenience of the mail controversy, and at the same time paid the bills for postage. The Alaska public have rights, and claim to justice and fair dealing as between the postal department and the steam ship companies. This should be the claim for a basis of settlement. If MT. Burleson can not settle this con troversy he should let the people of Alaska know it at once. The Dispatch believes when 1t finally sifts down it will 6e found that Mir. Burleson has sustained his reputation-and simply made another blunder, which has characterized his administration from the very ,start.-Juneau Dis patch.

SAFEGUARDING RESOURCES

The output of Alaska canned sal mon, or rather that portion of 1t shipped through Seattle, last yeaf ex, ceeded in value more than $50, ,00O,- 900. This for canned products alone. To which must be added the value of the salted and cured salmon in order to arrive at the total value of the fishing industry to the nation last sea- son.
 During the past thirty-six years, not including the last season, $347 ,2O7,- 259 worth of sea products have been taken from Alaskan waters. Last years production will bring this amount to at least $400 100000. And the fishing industry of Alaska is just getting under way.
 In the upkeep of this industry more than 25,0O0 workers were employed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars thus came into circulation in Alaska and the commerce of the country was en- riched from that source. The future of the industry should be even more beneficial to Alaska and the country at large than the past.
 New methods are being used. New uses for sea foods are being found daily. With the proper attention the fisheries of Alaska will prove to be<a never-ending source of enrichment for the territory.
 In order that there may be no dimi mutton in this source of income it is up to the territory to provide for re plenishing the fish which are yearly taken from our waters. A large per. centage of the taxes collected by the territory comes from the fisheries And as the industry prospers the taxes will increase.
 It is only good business to expend some of the taxes collected now tC take proper care of the salmon beds and spawning grounds, to provide hatcheries and give the industry every safeguard possible. Money thus ex pended will return fourfold to the ter ritory in the future
 A bill providing for hatcheries has been passed by the territorial legis lature. It is something which is needed It is of as much interest tt Interior people as to those on thu coast to provide for the welfare O the fishing industry, and few people will object to any reasonable amour being expended by the legislature fo this purpose.-Fairbanks Citizen.

 OSCAR UNDERWOOD
Urges Gold Star Members to Be Patient Pending Gov
 ernment Action

Senator Oscar W. Underwood, in an address to the members of the Gold Star association yesterday morning in the fed eral court room, assured them that the government wanted to do exactly as the relatives of soldiers buried in foreign countries desired regarding the removal of the bodies to the United States.
 He declared that the country owed a great deal to the relatives of men who who had been maimed, and if they want ed their loved ones brought back to this country the government would do it just as soon as negotiations could be made between France and the United States regarding the disinterment of the bodies buried there. If they wanted them to remain in a large cemetery where they had fallen, as many relatives wished ac- cording to letters he had received from members of kindred organizations. this would be done.
 He urged the members to be patient, as time was required in this matter stat ing that the French government would not allow the disinterment of the bodies at this time 'sThe boys who are buried there would not have it otherwise said MT. Underwood, for they made the SUI preme sacrifice to save the republic of France, and they would not do anything to jeopardze the health of the nation
 A resolution was adopted asking the government to give the men who htad fallen decent burial, members stating they had been informed that many thou sands of them had only been wrapped in sheets ands blankets. in which they were buried. It was stated that 3S,O00 ot the bodies had been disinterred and placed in caskets, while few thousand who had died in hospitals behind the lines had been buried in pine boxes, and the association wants the remainder of them placed in caskets. A copy of the reso- lution was ordered sent to the members Of the military committee.
 Several letters were read regarding the formation of association in other cities and resolution of thanks to Mr Un- derwood for his splendid efforts in be- half of the association was adopted.
 Maj. Charles J. Allison, president, pre- slded. The next meeting will be held on Decemoer Il at Il o'clock sin the United states court room, on the third floor of 'he federal building.

300 Davidson Butistae
 Washington, November 26-(speciaL) The federal trade commission can't de- termine whether or not it should take up for official consideration the petition of steel consumers and the United States Steel corporation that it order the abo htion of the hxation of the price of steel by Pittsburg manufacturers
 It IS now and has long been the GUS tom of Pittsburg to require all other steel making points to sell their product at the market figure plus the cost of transportation from Pittsburg to the point of purchase. In other words, ac ccrding to this arbitrary ruling which Pittsburg has been enabled to enforce without variation throughout the long years, Pitts5urg can sell steel to Mobile as cheaply as Birmingham.
 Sometime ago. many steel consrnaFs in the United States asked the federal trade commission to consider this ques ton. The United States Steel corpora tion joined in the petition, Judge E. H. Gary stating that this matter might as well be settled now as at any time, and adding that the verdict of the commits sion would in ali probability precipitate the most extensive legal controversy in the history of the United States.
 There is no question but that Pittsburg will fight. It contends that as it sup plies the world with steel-as all other steel-making points are able merely ta serve in time of emergency-it should fix tn price of steer. If the federal trade commission should decide that the people should be permitted to buy as cheaply as possible, should not be fettered by seemingly arbitrary and selfish trade rulings, it is regarded as certain tfpt Pittsburg would take the case to the courts, through all the stages to the su- preme court of the United States On the other hand. it does appear. at first blush, that if Birmingham can supply Mobile. Mobile should be entitled to buy at the market price plus the freight charges from Birmingham rather than plus the freight charges from Pittsburg.
 The commission has almost made up it's mind to undertake the investigation. Ii announces 10 the correspondent of this newspaper that it does desire a little more light on the subject. In order that the additional light might be given, It

rioposaI rom the Tuscaloosa Board Of Trade. that the terminal facilities DC installed on the river between Tuscaloosa and Holt. was received yesterday in the form of a copy of a letter sent to The Age-Heraid, the original being sent to the Warrior river development commit tee.

 tee, Birmingham, Ala.
 Gentlemen: We feel very much in- terested in your undertaking because it is step in the direction of real progress cit means more for the Bir- mingham district than almost any thing else that is now contemplated. We think that the ideal place for the Port of Birmingham is between Holt and Tuscaloosa, on what is known as the Asylum farm''
 Here you have deep water. The Louisville and Nashville and the Tus- caloosa Railway and Utilities com pany tracks are right at the site. The Warrior Southern railway is within 20o0 feet of it, giving connection to Birmingham by the A. c.
