been in. readiness for Lynn gas for
sometime. AT present the large 80
inch main which runs from the Lynn
producer quite some distance to the
new factory and warehouse at
Twelfth street waits for the carrying
of4this gas. Yesterday a quantity was
sent over and discharged at the di.
vision line close to the new factory.
The new furnace was fired with ma
tural gas yesterday and while this gas
is very low 1t is hoped the supplylt7il
be sufficient to bring the furn.ee to
the required holiness which is neces..
sary before Introducing the new gas.
The lynn gas will enter the furnace
through the checker work under the
furnace which is quite different from
the manner 10 which natural gas is
conveyed to this furnace natural gas
entering on the side to ports.
It will require an expert to light
this new gas for the first time and
man for this purpose is expected in
time to take care OF this important
happening. When asked what might
happen without such an expert a
workman in the new factory smiled:
don't know whether we would ali

 E. M. Polly resigned as vice-presi- dent of the Union as he was running for a political office. Bert Rogers was nominated in his place and the nominations are still open until the meeting next Monday. James Lar sen was nominated as a member of the executive committee in place of B. E.

 Under the "good of the order" heading it was voted to invite all of the ministers in Juneau to attend any or all meetings of the Alaska Labor Union, and feel at liberty any time to attend and take part. Four women members of the union at tended for the first time, and they were given a standing vote of honor by the members present
 It was decided to have the dance this Wednesday evening, instead of Friday, as first announced. Some thought the date rather soon, but thought they would show what the Alaska Labor Union could do on short notice. A dance will be held every two weeks on Wednesday evening. Music has been arranged for and the floor will be put in first class condition.

WORK ROOMS OF
 RED CROSS WILL
 BE CLOSED NOW
Red Cross Workers Will Be Given a Short Vacation Until Next Allotment
 Arrives.

Red Cross workers in Juneau will be given a short vacation pending the arrival of the next allotment. During this vacation the work rooms will be closed. As soon as the allot- ment is received announcement con- corning it will be made, and the work rooms will be re-opened immed- lately
 In the meantime, it is suggested that Juneau women may utilize the short vacation for knitting. Yarn may be obtained by telephoning Mrs. Willis E. Novel; at No. 391.
 Mrs Nowell states that the de- layed allotment will consist of re- lief work, and that it is highly i'm portant to have the allotment com Dleted promptly. Persons returning from the war zone report that the pressing question there now is one of clothing, and that many people are forced to wear papers, as the only means of covering nakedness
 Compelled to give their attention to the crops in order to prevent a crisis in the food situation, these des titute people are still dependent upon the Red Cross for help in ob- taining the clothing which they des- perately need. The Northwestern Division of the American Red Cross is sending out large quantities of relief supplies, as are all other Di- visions, but the regularity of these shipments depends upon the output of individual Chapters. Juneau Chap ter, as part of the Northwestern Division, will assume a share in the work.
