The men are now engaged in laying steel on the Y across the river and for some distance up the Nenana Fairbanks right of way, and it is expected that this work will be completed by Saturday.
 Foreman Blakey will strengthen his force by adding several new men to it before going out the line on Saturday morning, and every effort will be made to reach the coal fields in the quickest possible time.
 Steel will be laid with the aid of the side rollers on flat cars, and it is expected that the Burns mine, which is only few miles beyond the end of steel, will be reached in about a weeks time from the date of the resumption of track laying operations.
 The end of steel at present is at station No. 17650, and when the steel has been laid up to station No. 17440, spur track for ap- proximately 1000 feet, will be run out to the Burns coal mine. The grade for the spur track has al ready been completed.
 \ large bunker, to contain about 300 tons of coal, has been con Structed and all of the necessary appliances for loading the coal on the cars has been arranged for. It is expected that several carloads of coal will be hauled into town daily until the quantity contracted for with R. E. Burns X Go. has been re"ght to town

Superintendent Packer announces that passes will not be honored on the excursion train which is sched- uled to leave Nenana on Saturday night, and those who have business to attend to at any point on the line and who wish to go out on that train, will have to provide tht/nselves with tickets.

SUGAR HELD UP BY
 STRIKE IN NEW YORK
Federal Equalization Board Wires QuigIcy This Is Cause for Delay
 in Local Deliveries.

The United States Sugar Euualiza- tiOn Board. Inc, New York, in reply to Mayor George A. QuigleH's request for relieving the local sugar situation, states, in a telegram received last night: 'DiStributiOn committee mak- ing every effort to hasten shipments of available supplies but have been ham, dicapped by longshoremen's strike. Local jobbers should look up their rec Ords and apply to refinerS making them deliveries this time 1918"
 The above is an answer to the may or's wire of yesterday morning. He wrote a letter to the board Friday and today received an answer to that. The letter states that the situation Which Mayor Quigley complains of is quite general and is directly due tp the long shOrem ems strike. The last paragraph of the letter says: This has prevent ed refinereS operating for nearly two weeks except on a very much reduced capacity. During this period most Of the sugar refined has been required to take care of pershable goods, fruits, condensed milk and SO forth-so that comparatively little has been available for delivery to the trade for distribu- ton through the usual channels. This will be corrected as soon as the strike is settled and a reasonable time has elapsed so that deliveries can be made.'

By Vote of 67 to 16 Scheme to Have Popular Vote Taken Before Declaring War is Defeated.
LA TOILETTE REVIEWS
 ATTACKS ON WILSON

Washington, Nov. 6.--The peace treaty amendment presented by Sena- tor Gore, democrat, Oklahoma, to make an advisory popular vote manda- tory before any declaration of war un- der the league of nations, was rejected today by the senate.
 The vote was 67 to 16, Republican Leader Lodge and other leading re- publicans voting against the amend ment.
 Wants |. $. to Be First.
 When the treaty was taken up in the senate today Senator Knox, re- publican, Pennsylvania, introduced {, blanket reservation to release the United States from any obligation to be bound by decisions or recommenCa- tions of the league of nations. Sena- - tor Knox said the purpose was to make this country "a consulting mem- Der" of the league.
 The reservation would give the United States the fullest and most complete liberty of action" in regard to league affairs, with the sole right to determine it's own relations and du- ties and course of action"
 It would also claim an unconditional right of withdrawal and would make ratification of the treaty dependent on affirmative action on the reservation by other powers within 60 days. Senator La Toilette, republican, Wisconsin, resumed the attack begun yesterday on President Wilson's course in negotiating the treaty.
 Reply to La Toilette.
 Senators Walsh, Montana and Rob- inson, Arkansas. democrats, replying to Senator La Toilette. declared his criticism of President Wilson was un- justified. They cited precedents to show that the president had the sole duty of negotiating a treaty without securing advice from the senate.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
 FOR SOUTH BERLIN
Power station Being Planned for Residents, to Be Located on
 Maple Farms.

Despite the decision reached by the Connecticut Light & Power Co. several months ago, residents of South Berlin and community will have electric lights and other electrical household fixtures possible. This statement was made today by Paul Goldstein, who recently purchased the greater portion of the Maple farms, formerly owned by Col. Charles M. Jarvis.
 MT. Goldstein asserted that from the present outlook he will install a power plant on his premises some time next spring. The motors will probably be operated by turbines which are to be installed in neighboring brooks It is, however, possible that the motors be operated by gasoline, which will amply furnish the lights needed for the community.

EXPECT MORE COAL
Government Officials Believe Bitu- minouS Output Will Increase Soon Especially in West Virginia Fields.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Information in the hands of government officials in touch with the strike situation to- day indicated an increase in bitumin- ous coal production, especially in the West Virginia fields. A further de- lection of union forces was noted in the early morning reports, although officials were not able to say whether the break in the union ranks was in creasing to any great extent. This phase o fthe situation is being watched closely by the government depart ments, particularly the railroad ad- ministration and department of jus tice. Director General Hines reiter- ated today that no community need fear it would be cut off entirely from fuel supply
 He declared the primary purpose of the machinery set up by his office was to guard against concentration of coal stocks in other sections to the detriment of another.
