LONGSH0REMEN
TIE Up HARBOR
WORK IN EAST

NEW YORK, Oct. II. = Local
harbor activities have practically
ceased as result of strike among
longshoremen, who have refused to
do any more work unless they are
granted a wage increase from g.
cents to s. an hour. The situation
has assumed a critical stage here
and it is feared that the strike viii
be extended to other ports on the
Atlantic coast.
An effort was made by represent
atives of the Government to induce
the strikers to unload four freight
ers and six passenger ships which
are now enroute 10 this port, but
the strike committee, with which ne
gotiations were conducted. refused
absolutely TO handle the cargoes,
even ignoring an ultimatum issued
by the war department.

ON
MORNING TRAIN
FILL TWO CARS

Travel toward the end of steel,
south of Nenana, is assuming pro-
portions. The train leaving on We'd
nesday carried a full carload of
passengers, the caboose being so
crowded, in fact, that many of those
making the trip were compelled to
stand most of the way to the end
of steel. And this morning there
was such a, demand for accommoda-
tons that it was necessary to attach
the new passenger coach TO the train,
and both that and the caboose were
well filed.
The majority of those taking
passage on the train were headed
for the different camps along the
line, many Of them being recent ar
rivals in Nenana who have entered
the employ of the Alaskan Engi-
neering commission. There also
were number of contractors who
will start work along the grade be-
yond the end of steel, the usual
number of regular employees and
contractors returning TO their camps
from business trips TO town, several
hunters, half a dozen mining men
and prospectors enroute 10 the hills
beyond Ignite, and a number Of
persons headed for the coast by
way of Broad Pass. some of them
with dogs and camp outfits.
The new coach has been prepared
for winter traffic during the past
few days. and probably will be
much in use from now on if the
demand for passenger accommoda-
tons continues as brisk as it has
been during the past week. The
car has been made comfortable by
the installation of two coal stoves.

STEAMERS STOPPED
ON WAY TO DAWSON
BY HEAVY ICE RUN

Four steamers, Whitehorse-bound
from points along the Tanana and
lower Yukon rivers, with probably
in excess of 100 passengers aboard,
are gripped tightly in the ice to-
day, unable to move in any direc-
ton. The boats were frozen in.
presumably, in midstream, their voy-
ages cut short before they could
reach a place of safety or even
land their passengers ashore. The
steamers are the Alaska, which
sailed from Nenana on October 1st {;
the Yukon, with which the Tanana
connected at Gibbon, leaving Nenana
on october ID; the Washburn, which
was enroute up the Yukon from the
lower river, and the Seattle No. 8.
Advices received in Nenana this
noon state that the Alaska reached
point about ten miles below
Fortymile before the ice stopped
running. The Seattle No. 3 is sup
posed to be close behind the Alaska.
and the Yukon and the Washburn
are below Circle, the Yukon having
been frozen in at a point about 30
miles below the old mining town.
The position of the Washburn is
not known, but when last reported,
she was close to the Yukon.
The news of the steamer Yu-
kon's predicament was made known
in a wireless message from Frank
S. Gordon, who stated that he and
several others had mushed up to
Circle to give the alarm and TO
make arrangements for transporta-
ton back to Fairbanks, by way of
the overland trail. He requested
that dog team be sent over to
Circle from Fairbanks Immediately
10 take his family back home. All
of the passengers on the Yukon
probably will come 10 Fairbanks,
distant about $50 miles from Circle,
and the shortest route to the coast.

Boats May Be Safe.

While nothing official has been
heard by Agent J. H. Scott, of the
American Yukon Navigation compa-
ny, he is of the opinion that all
four of the boats reached places of
safety along the river before per-
hitting the ice TO close in about
them 1t must have been apparent
to the navigators of the boats, he
argues. that they were being frozen
in, and they naturally would make
for winter quarters, both for the
safety of the passengers on board
and for the security of the boats,
which would have little chance in a
breakup, if left in midstream. Mr.
Scott also says that the Washburn
is with the Yukon, 20 miles below

GOVT SEEKS FOR
ADEQUATE LAWS
AGAINST DOGS
(RV AsSociated PresSl

Washington, Feb. 11.-The enact
ment of more adequate state laws
to control sheep-killing dogs is urged
by Secretary Houston in II letter just
sent to the governors of twenty
states.
The secretary points out that, al
though there has been gratifying
increase in the number of sheep IN
the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion
of the industry. Farmers, he says,
arc discouraged in many instances
from keeping sheep on account OF
TIE danger of damage by dogs.
The letters were sent to the gov
ernors of Arkansas, California, Del
aware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ok
lahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia and Wlscon-
sin. where state legislatures are now
in session. Following is the letter:
Il understand that many states now
have under consideration the mat
ter Of legislation to encourage the
larger development of the sheep IN
dustry by removing or controlling
the dog menace. During the past
year. as you perhaps know, there has
been gratifying increase in the
nCnter of sheep in the United
States. There is undoubtedly room
in many sections of the country for
further expansion along this line, es-
pecially in the settled farming areas.
The field Representatives of this de-
partment, however, generally rport
that farmers are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on ac-
count of the danger of damage by
dogs.
"The question seems to be primar-
ily one for consideration and action
by the various states. ! am, there
fore, taking the liberty to bring the
matter to your attention, with the
hope that you will look into the sit
uation and make such recommends
tions as NAV seem wise the legls-
lature of the state May ! not, IN
this connection, call your attention
to the carefully drawn and apparent,
~ well-enforced laws of several
states, notably those of New York
