CANNERY OUTFIT OBJECTS ID TAX;
 WILL TEST LAW

A suit was filed recently at Ju- neau entitled Libby, McNeil & Lib by, as plaintiff, against G. F. Cramer as school tax collector out side of incorporated towns
 The plaintiff claims that the school tax law as passed by the last Territorial legislature is con- trary to the organic act of the Ter ritory of Alaska and in conflict with the Constitution of the United States. It asks thac the court issue restraining order to stop the school tax collector from enforcing the provisions of the law.
 The company claims that it is engaged in the canning and packing of fish at Taku Harbor and that it receives none of the benefits in the way of schools from the proceeds of the tax and names one man, E. IT. Campbell, who did pot authorize it to deduct the amount of the tax from his wages, and that this man is resident of the State of Wash ington and only worked for the season for the company. The com pany claims that if it should have deducted the amount of the tax from his wages it would have been liable to suit by him and would have had no relief by the courts The company also specifics several Orientals working for a Chinese contractor who did not authorize it to deduct the tax money.

FUEL SHORTAGE STOPS WORK ON
 QUARTZ lEDGES

The high cost of fuel has com pelled two hard rock outfits to sus- pend operations on Fairbanks creek, according to information received from Fairbanks today. The Crites & Feldman mine, at the head of Fairbanks creek, has been closed within the past several days and mo attempt to resume operations will be made until the fuel situa- tion has been relieved. And Tom Gilmore, who is operating near by. is preparing to shut down as soon as his supply of wood has been consumed, which will be within a very short time.
 The fuel problem has long been Ia serious one on Fairbanks creek, and this winter the cost of wood is higher than ever, with very little available.
 There is a difference of opinion as to the possibility of landing coal on Fairbanks creek at sufficiently low cost to relieve the fuel situa- tion there, owing to the long haul from the railroad. It is contended by numerous of the oldtimers that electric power, transmitted from a central plant, will be the only feasi- ble solution, and it is understood that the Fairbanks creek dredge company already is considering plans for the erection of power plant at Gilmore, where coal can be dumped directly into bunkers by the Government railroad. Should such plant be built, it is possible that some of the juice will be avail able for use by the quartz men of that district.

ROAD WORK MAY BE TAKEN OVER
 BY NEW BUREAU

According to a statement credit ed to Captain John Zug, Interior representative of the Alaska Road commission, there is possibility that the war department will be relieved of the responsibility of di- Irecting road work in Alaska. He says there is movement now on foot to turn the road work over to some organization other than the Alaska Road commission, and he believes a civilian commission will be named to look after the work if lit is taken away from the war de- ipartment.
 Zug left for Juneau last week and is not sure that he will return Ito Fairbanks. He expects the change to be made before the work lis started next spring, in which event there probably will be a new man on the job in Interior Alaska.
 Captain Zug has been associated with the Alaska Road commission a long time, having had charge of the work in the Fourth division in the early days. He was also sta- toned in one of the coast districts for several years, during the time that R. J. Sommers was in charge at Fairbanks.
 Captain Zug will remain at the headquarters office of the commis- sion at Juneau until the future of the Alaska Road commission has been definitely determined upon.

President Says Rail Men Should
Go Back to Get Consideration.
When They Repudiate Authority d
Their Own Officers, Cannot Expect
Government to Help Them.

Washington, Aug. 8.-President
Wilson has notified Director Gen.
erai Hines that he 10 authorized
to take up the demands Of rail-
road shop employees for higher
wages and decide them on their
merits.
The President said that the let
ter sent him by Senator cummins,
chairman Of the Committee on In.
terstate Commerce, has set mo
free to deal a. think best with
the difficult question Of the wages
of certain classes Of the railroad
employee" but added: "The
chief obstacle to a decision has
been created by the men them
selves. They have gone out on
strike and repudiated the author
ity Of their officers at the very
moment when they were urging
action in regard to their inter-
ests." He says they must resume
work If their case 10 to be con.
sidered.
Washington, Aug. 7.-Acting as .
unit for the first time in the presenta-
ton Of wage demands. the IA principal
railroad unions in expressing to d.
rector General Hines their disapproval
of President Wilson's proposal that
congress create q commission to con.
slider increased pay, have declared
that wage questions must be settled
Immediately.
A general program to meet the
present crisis, involving the threat OF
q nationwide strike, was submitted
to the director general. 1t suggested
that the money to provide increased
pay should come from an appropria'
ton by congress, to be followed by
appropriate freight rate advances.
This Temporary relief must be &C.
companied by determined effort to
reduce the cost of living.
Permanent solution Of the railroad
problem was declared to depend upon
the removal of returns to capital az
the sole purpose Of operation and the
director general, accordingly, was
asked to recommend to President
Wilson that he attempt to obtain early
passage by congress Of organized
labor's bill to eliminate private CAPT.
tai from control of the railroads and
to give the employees share in the
profits. The unions declared the be-
lief OF the workers that transportation
rates should be sufficient to guaran-
tee just wages, maintain the prop.
critics and give equitable returns on
money invested.

Washington, Aug. Cat the con-
clusion of a days activity by the
President, the subcommittee of the
cabinet appointed by Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer, and by the attorney gen.
eral himself, announcements were
made of immediate steps to be taken
to reduce the cost of living and of the
governments wheat policy. Decisions
reached were:
President Wilson decided to address
a message to congress recommending
additional legislation to aid in reduc-
ing the cost of living.
Agents of the Department of Jus.
tice were ordered to ferret out all
hoarders of necessaries and profiteers
throughout the country. They are to
be prosecuted under the food control
act.
The high cost of living was not dis
cussed at the regular cabinet meet
ing, but Attorney General Palmer re-
manned after the meeting to confer
with the President and presented
memoranda prepared by the subcom-
mittee stating what the government
was doing and what it proposes doing
under existing laws and possible addi-
tional laws to cope with the situation.
The Department Of Justice agents
throughout the country, the attorney
general said, have been ordered to in
stitute special investigations to find
evidence of boarding and profiteer-
ing as prohibited under the Lever food
control act and prosecutions will be
instituted without delay.
Attorney General Palmer declined
to disclose what remedial laws were
suggested to the President or to go
into detail as to how the department
would proceed under the existing
laws beyond saying that operating
under the Lever act did not mean the
function of the food administration
would be assumed by the Department
of Justice.
