TRA|NMEN MAY
 JOIN CANADIAN
 WALKOU1 SOON

VANCOUVER, B. C., June 12.- Canadian strikers are counting strongly upon the cooperation of the railway brotherhoods in the ef- fort which is being made through out the Dominion to suspend in dustrial activities. The railwag 7 brotherhoods are taking a vote on the strike question and it is con- fidently believed by leaders of the strike movement that the trainmen will decide in favor of walking out.
 The railway strike, it is believed here, has been held in reserve by the strikers as their trump card, with which to enforce their de mands.
 It Is permissible, under the rules of the railwaymen's union, to par ticipate in a strike movement only when 1t is nationwide in scope.

CELEBRATION PLANS
 INSURE BIG FOURTH

horse races are assured, a sleek porker has been secured for the greased pig event, there will be a greased pole, and a great variety of events not previously seen in Ne mana.
 The plan this year is to cut down the big purses and to increase the value of prizes offered for the smaller events. It is believed that such a distribution of prize money will insure a greater array of tal- ent and greater satisfaction among contestants.
 The celebration probably will be Ia three-day affair, starting on Fri day, July 4th, and ending Sunday night. The funds available are con- sidered sufficient for three days of fun, and it is believed the commit tee will find no difficulty in ar ranging an attractive program that will take up that amount of time.
 One of the big features of the celebration will be the bazaar and dance, scheduled for the night of July 4th, for the benefit of the mench Orphan fund, and for which tentative plans were made some time ago by Mrs. Fred'k D. Browne, head of the relief work in Nenana. The Coliseum also has several big attractions in store for the public for celebration week, and it is possible that a dance will be ar ranged for Saturday night
 The committees which will have charge of the various arrange ments are as follows, F. s. McDon- aid being chairman and Frank Doner treasurer of the celebra- tion:
 General Sports: Q. F. Lehr, Joe Fisher, Ali Ekeland, Andy Hoey, Alfred Ghezzi, Ralph Waechter, William Coutts Ed Brooker, Herman Rosburg, Dr. J. R. Bowen, Harry Davis.
 Finance: H. B. Joseph, Ralph Waechter, Joe Fisher, NJ. A. Schaef- fer.
 Exercises: Robert Joseph Diven, J. A. slippern.
 Advertising: J. A. Slippern, M. 4. Schaeffer, R. c. Southworth
 These committees will meet at the club quarters on Friday eve ming, at which time, it is believed, a general outline of the celebration can be decided upon

SENATE ACTION ON LEAGUE BILL
 EXPECTED SOON

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12.

 The only change made by the committee was the elimination of the clause which declared it to be the policy of the American govern ment to cooperate to remove any menaces threatening European peace. Otherwise the resolution is transmitted for consideration by the senate in its original form.
 The purpose of the resolution IS to put the senate on record as op- posed to the acceptance of the League of Nations plan as part of the German peace treaty.

Plans outlined at a special meet
 ing of the Nenana Commercial club, held at the club quarters in the
 Union building last night, insure
 for Nenana the greatest Independ-
 ence Day celebration the town has
 ever staged More funds will be
 available this year than ever be-
 fore, and the several committees which will have charge of the cele-
 bration are plunging into the work with an enthusiasm which promises great results in the way of enter
 tainment.
 The special finance committee, composed of Ralph Waechter and
 Joe Fisher, reported to the club that they had secured subscriptions
 aggregating s1,004, with the prom
 ise of additional donations which would swell the total considerably.
 Their report, they informed the club, was not to be regarded as T final one They merely wanted the club to know that they had secured sufficient money to insure a sue cessful celebration, it being their intention to keep the ssubseri'tion lists open throughout the remainder of the month for the accommoda- tion of late subscribers. And in this connection, the committeeman desire it known that subscriptions in any amount can be turned in to the committee either at the store of the Fairbanks Clothing company or the Waechter market, righ. up to the commencement of the cele- bration. When the lists are closed, the names of all subscribers will be published in the columns of The Nenana Daily News. And after the celebration, similar publicity will be given to the disbursements. .:.
 The celebration will be arranged by a general committee, of which President R. s. Mcdonald is chair man. This was decided by a vote of the club, the motion at the same time authorizing the appoint ment of the members of the vari- ous committees, which will include, in addition to the general or sports committee, a. finance committee, an advertising committee, and a com mittee to arrange the patriotic ex- ercises scheduled for the morning of the Fourth. There also will be a treasurer to handle the funds of the committee throughout the cele- bration.
 While the arrangement of the was left to the sports com mittee, there was considerable dis cussion last night relative to spe- cial features of the celebration, such as boat racing, baseball games and other contests involving large prizes. An effort was made to have the Fort Gibbon team come to Nenana for series of games, but it was reported that such an would be impossible, 1 owing to the probable disorganiza- ton of the Gibbon team through demobilization. It is believed, how ever, that two local teams can be got together and a good exhibition | assured for the Fourth With re- gard to speed boat contests, the club believed that races of that l character should be arranged, pro- vided the owners of boats would l consent to compete for a purse not in excess of s100. It was also the opinion of the members that 1 efforts should be made to arrange a race among local auto owners, and there is promise that such an event will be included. Several i

Some years ago there was Fourth

pastor of a church. During the day
several out of town couples came to
the parsonage to be married, and one
husky bridegroom as soon as the knot
was tied. asked: "What are the dam
ages?" Father replied that he made
no particular charge for marrying peo.
pie, but left the amount to the gener-
osity of the groom. ''Thank you
said the young man, ''Pll do as much
for you sometime" and walked out
leaving us all convulsed with laughter
but when they reached the street the
bride would go no farther until

in which a ship thus protected was

mooring, and left it free to come to
the surface where it could be exploded

soon came to speak of the paravanes
as "otters," and they enabled many a
vessel to travel safely through mine

American ships had been thus
