UNlOKS WOULD DEMONSTRATE
 THEIR POWER
(The Associatei PresS)

SEATTLE, Jan. 30.-The labor leaders of this city, in speaking of the proposed general strike. stated that if it was called it would be for the demonstrating of the solidarity of the many organizations of labor ing men and to help the shipyard workers win their fight for higher wage.
 Several of the unions expressed themselves as desirous of making the strike mass affair for the pur- pose of wiping away all grievances existing between the unions and the employers. This action was not countenanced by the central labor council and the unions making the proposition were rebuked for their effort at such an agitation.
 It is now believed that soulc ao. justment will be made among the unions who declare themselves as be- ing ready to walk out on the first of the month in sympathy with the shipyard workers. While there seems to be no solution to this phase of the strike it is believed that the men will not return to their work unless their demands are complied with, regardless as to whether the yards close or not.

WOLF NOTICED
 CLOSE TO TOWN

For the first time in many seasons wolf has been noticed in close proximity to Fairbanks. Bob Uce. itch, wood cutter located on Pearl creek, while going to his work yes. terday morning noticed good sized specimen of gray wolf a short dis. tance ahead of him on the trail The animal was probably unaware of the mans presence and Ucetich re- turned to his cabin to get his rifle to shoot the animal. but on his return to the place where the wolf was seen it had disappeared.
 The presence of the wolf in the flats Is accounted for by the ex treme cold in the hills. it probably coming to the lower sections to se. cure feed, or else it is stray mem. Der of some rowing band up the Cinema. Several others have noticed wolf tracks a few miles from Fair. banks but this is the first instance to be reported of one actually being seen.

It is stated that the British feared too great com. petition from the American marufac. turers and protected itself hy the regulations announced.

(The Associated Press)

PARIS, Jan. 29.-According to the current issue of the Echo de Paris former General von IIindenburg is trying to secure permission from the German government for the return of the former kaiser some time after the national assembly meets.
 It is stated that the kaiser wrote a strong appeal to Premier Ebert requesting that he be permitted to return, saying that Ee would be will ing to accept any residence that the government assigned to him. The letter was probably answered as il is known that the kaiser has ire quently mentioned at Amerogen that his stay was of an indefinite period
 It is believed that many of tfe leading Westphalia manufacturers are interested in the plan of having him return to Germany.

(TEc Associated i'rcss)


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Charles Piez. director-general of the emcr- gency fleet corporation. stated today that the government was in no hur- ry to complete the ships now on the ways in the yards affected hy the strikes on the Pacific coast. mak- ing special reference to the ship yards of Seattle and to the impend- ing situation at San Francisco. For the present, he stated, it probably would be the governments policy to let the jobs stand for while.
 The director general tot tkat the yards needed breathing spell for a while as they have been going at top speed for many months and layoff would not be amiss for rest. He further stated that he did not believe the government would continue to furnish work at ex- tremely high wages unless tLe skill of the workers and the output of the yards justified it. He considered it an extremely uLwise action of the shipyard workers to call d strike at this time and at the existing scale of wages. which was about all the government could afford to pav.
