OUR GUNS AT VAR

The big United States naval guns some of which have a range of 2G miles, dropped 7s9 shells on seven objectivez or t7? Western front during the last few weeks of fighting with what naval report prepared at headquarters terms Ire markable accuracy. The report further says that they were among the strongest guns on the Western front.
 In summarizing this navy activity the report says the first shipment of these guns arrived at St. Nag aire. France, July 9. 1918. The first gun was mounted August ,, It left St. Nazaire August Is, and arrived at firing point August 24. All guns were mounted by August IT and all had been concentrated at Haussimont by September 26. The firing record shows the first shot was fired on September 6 by a gun stationed at Rethondes and firing at Tergnier. The firing really got under way September 14 and was kept up continuously until 1O.59 a. m., November II, one minute before hostiliies ceased. The last shot from Thierville dropped into Longuyon.
 The guns were taken from the sur plus of 25 per cent ordnance al- lowed each battlship.

BRITISH LABOR

Labor's Triple Alliance, which just now is demanding much from the employers of England in the way of shorter hours, higher wages, and living conditions such as never before were dreamed of by British workmen, numbers approximately l,500,0OO men with auxiliary forces of some hundreds of thousands more Its demands have been taken very seriously by the government.
 The Triple Alliance, which is re- garded as one of the most power ful labor bodies in the world, Is made up of the Miners Federation of Great Britain, with S00,000 members, National Union of rail way Men with 450,000 and the Transport Workers Federation with 250,000. Ourisde it, but dependent upon it's action. because a strike of the Triple Alliance means un- employment for them. are the Ma tional Council of Colliery Workers, Locomotive Engineers and Bremen, the Railway Clerks Association, and 8 number of others
 The machinery of the alliance is simple. There is a small con- sultative committe made up of the chairman and secretary of each of the three organizations, while the three executives meet at least twice year. Each body retains com plete freedom to take action on it's own behalf, joint action being con- fined to questions of national i'm portance and questions Of principle. Before matter can be considered by joint action it must be fully approved by the executive of the body which raises it. The approval of at least two of the organizations must be obtained before any joint action can be taken
 To the present the Alliance has not been called upon to test its power to the point of drastic ac- tion, but it has been far from idle In 1916 it laid before MT Asquith. then premier, a reconstructive pro- gram which included the demand for full state maintenance, failing work, of all workers during the pc riod of reconstruction, a demand which is now being pressed upon the government It was active in pressing for better pay, pensions and allowances for the soldiers.
 The Alliance decided to postpone action in the industrial field until after the war, but each of the three bodies drew up its plan fol reconstruction and these national programs were mutually discussed and considered in common It is these which the government now

COMMERCE CLUB
 ID ENLIST AID
 OF LEGISLATURE

The regular weekly meeting of the Nenana Commercial club was held at the club chambers in the Union Hall last night. The at tendance was very much smaller than customary, there being only ten members present when the meeting was called to order by Chairman Mcdonald at s p. m.
 The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed and the usual routine work gone through
 The elections committee made a brief report of its operations dur ing the school election and detailed the part played by the committee of ladies, and on motion duly made and carried, a hearty vote of thanks was extended the ladies who so largely contributed to the success of the election. The secretary was instructed to inform the ladies of the action taken by the club.
 The secretary introduced some correspondence with Messrs Christ ensen and Edes. relative to the appropriations for townsite pur- poses, representing fifty per cent of town lot sales etc, available for this purpose. He explained the situation fully and read a tele- gram which. 1t was proposed, should be sent to the delegate with a re- quest that appropriate action be taken to make this money available. The club endorsed the secretary's action and authorized the sending of the wire.
 The cost of the long wire to the delegate suggested the advisabilify of securing, if possible, press rates on all telegrams exchanged between commercial bodies and those from such bodies as the state legislatures and Congress, which was on busi- ness which tended to the betterment of conditions and the development of the country. The club decided to empower the secretary to take the matter up with the delegate and to inform the other commercial bodies in Alaska as well as the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce of the action taken.
 The matter of preferential tariff rates, on the government railroad, cn mining and agricultural machin- cry, appliances, tools etc. was next discussed at some length, and al- though it was felt to be rather early in view of the fact that the rail- road may not be finished for few years to come, it was deemed good policy to raise the question now and see what could be done. Accord ingly on motion duly made, the secretary WIS empowered to take the matter up with the delegate and send copies of his letter to the delegate, to the commercial bodies of Seward, Anchorage, Talkeetna and Fairbanks; and to the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. The secretary sug- gested that immigrant outfits be added to the farming and mining implements, machinery and tools on which special rate is sought, and 1t was so ordered

one mile is one one and one-hah
seconds faster than the previous
worlds record established on the
same beach by the late Bob Burman,
April 49, 1911, who reeled off a mile
in 25.4 seconds-at the rate of 142
miles an hour. De Palma's new record
is $50 miles an hour.
He clipped 1.3+ seconds from the 2
mile record, formerly held by Bur
man; 80 seconds from Hemery's S
mile mark; 1 minute, 3 seconds from
Bruce Browns 10 mile record; min
utes, 1925 seconds from Lancias Is
mile mark; and 4 minutes, 17.72 sec
onds from the former 20 mile record
held by Burman.
Not content with breaking all the
flying start speed records from one
to twenty miles, De Palma made an
attempt against the standing start
record for one mile, establishing new
mark of 38.S seconds, and clipping LIS
seconds from the former mark of 40.SS
seconds, made by Barney Old field in
1910.
