UlVION LEADER SAYS COUNTRY
 DISSATISFIED

WASHINGTON. July S1.-P)-Tlr organized trainmen of this country are dissatisfied with the present wages paid them by tue railroad ad- ministration and fully expect some action to be taken in the matter by this fall. President Lee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen an today that steps looking to- ward the enforcement of the train mems demands will be taken unless the railroad administration takes measures by the first of October to increase the railroad workers wages or reduce the cost of living.
 He declares that the trainmen are receiving only enough wages to live on and not any too comfortably, at that The president of the union says that a reduction in the price of necessities will amount to the same thing as an increase in the railroad employees wages and they will be just as satisfied providing the de- crease is large enough.
 President Lee empathically declares that general state of unrest is now sweeping the country on account of the decreased purchasing power of dollar and serious labor trouble in all trades is possible unless some decisive step is taken by the govern. ment. It is understood that President Wilson is deeply impressed by this statement and is inclined to believe that Lee speaks the truth when he says the people are becoming rest less.

EXPLOSIVE. ACT
 NOT EFFECTIVE
 IN THE FUTURE

Commissioner Reed A. Heilig was yesterday informed by letter that his position as explosive licensing agent for this district has been discontinued and thus has one less job to inter- fere with his Saturday afternoon out ings. Incidentally it was also stated that all regulations requiring licenses by persons purchasing or using ex- plosives have been revoked.
 These regulations were made ef- fective shortly after the United States entered the war and 6 complete rec ord was thus kept of all persons ac- Quiring any kind of explosive.
 The letter follows,
 "TO All LicensOrs:
 "As the explosive regulation act has been revoked by congress, ef- fective at the close of business on June 30. 1919, and licenses are no longer required by persons purchas- ing or using explosives. you are re- Quested to send to this office, by mail, at the earliest possible moment. your certificate of appointment, all records, license stubs, unused licenses and report sheets, and any other sup plies you may have on hand"

MINERS REMOVE FOUR HUNDRED
 TONS. OF ROCK

SEATTLE, July 3O.-(P)-Working necessarily since Monday evening, two hundred miners this morning suc- ceeded in uncovering the body of their foreman, James D. Webb, who was killed in a slide at the Burnett coal mine. The miners were in hopes that Webb might still be alive as it was thot possible he might be pro- tected by large boulders, of which there were large number in the slide.
 Three miners were working in con- pany with Webb when the slide oc- cured but they managed to make their escape. Upon discovering that the foreman was still trapped in the mine, the entire force of miners start ed to work to remove the slide. The foreman was the only person killed in the accident.
 Extensive repairs will be necessary before this part of the mine can be worked any more. The crushed body of the foreman was removed to his home and the funeral services will probably be held tomorrow afternoon.

 RELEASED SOON

PARIS. July 31.-R)-General John J. Pershing stated today that he firmly believes the German pris oners still being held by the Ameri cans will be released when three of the five great powers ratify the peace treaty. It Is his opinion that it will not be necessary to await the rati' fication of the treaty by the United States senate before returning the prisoners to their native land.
 There are forty-eight thousand Ger mans being held by the Americans, all of them being prisoners of war General Pershing stated that this is his personal opinion, only. concerning the probable release of the men as he has heard nothing definite from the war department.

WAR MINISTER
 TO URGE BELLA
 KUN TO RETIRE

BASEL, July 31.-R)-General Boehm, minister of war of the Hun garian soviet government. has ap- pointed himself as a committee of one to urge Bella Kun to retire from public life and is now enroute to Bud apest for that purpose. It is evident ly the opinion of the soviet govern ment officials that Bella Kun is the fly in their ointment and they believe that the communists would have more success in ruling the country should he step down from his public office.
 This action on the part of General BOehm follows a conference he re- gently held with the allied represen- tative at Budapest when it was agreed that the entire soviet govern. ment should be urged to withdraw from the rule of Hungary. The allied representative submitted this solu- tion of the Hungarian problem to the supreme council at Paris and it was reported, day or so ago, that the council had demanded the un- conditional resignation of the govern ment. Just before committing sui. eide, few days past. the president of the communist government declar- ed that the policies of Bella Kun was running the soviet cause.

MEASURE WOULD
 BAR ENLISTINC
BILL INTRODUCED TO PROHIBIT NEGROES FROM ENLISTING
 IN THE ARMY

WASHINGTON July 31-R)-A bill was introduced in the house today which will prohibit negroes from en listing in the army or navy, in case it passes thru congress. The measure provides that all negroes now in either service be discharged within sixty days from the date il becomes a law.
 The bill is caused, no doubt, by the numerous racial riots occurring in this city and in Chicago. The sup porters~ of the measure contend that the negroes should not be allow ed to become part of the military forces as that gives them training which they might use later against the white race. It is not ex- pected that the bill will be easily passed as it is understood that many of the representatives, especl, ''y from the northern states, do not object to negroes being eligible to the military or naval service.

 MAIL SHIPMENT

According to information just re- ceived by Postmaster T. H. Deal, the mail robber who got into shipment enroute between the Alaska coast of mail from Fairbanks last winter and Tacoma has been located, con fessed and sent to a reformatory school. The robber was Claude E. Savage, a 17-year-old boy who was an oiler and fireman on the steamer Victoria on which vessel the robbery took place.
 The mails on the steamer Victoria, on - the trip ending at Tacoma on December 22, 1918, were found to have been rified and a number of local people lost packages, money orders and other valuaables in the robbery. The case was immediately taken up and the guilty party located in few weeks.
 The notice of the solution of the case was contained in a letter from Inspector Fitch, of the Tacoma of flee to MT. Deal in answer to inQuir- ies made by the local postmaster. The inspector wrote as follows:
 Upon the arrival of the Victoria here, l interviewed several of the ship employees and was convinced that fireman and Oiler named Claude E. Savage, alias Chas. Savage, alias Charles Darlington. was the guilty person That suspicion was further confirmed by telegraphic in- formation to the effect that he had passed worthless checks in San Diego and Los Angeles, California, also at Seattle. He is but 17 years of age and when arrested pleaded guilty and was sentenced on March 17, 1919, by Judge Jeremiah Neterer at Seattle, Wash, to be confined in the Anamo- sa Reformatory, Anamosa, Iowa. until he shall have reached the age of 21 years, unless otherwise discharged by law"

DETERMINATION
 OF ARMENIANS
 IS THREATENED

PARIS. July 3O.-P)-That the Turks and Tartars have renewed their war on the Amenians is re- ported to the peace council today by Major Joseph Green, director of the American relief work in the threaten ed district. He urges that military action be taken by the allies at once unless they wish to stand idly by and see the Armenian race exterminated
 Major Green says the advance of the Turks and Tartars is taking place from three sides and they will soon have the Armenians almost en. tirely surrounded unless the allies interfere and stop the threatened slaughter. He reports that the Amer. ican supplies are cut off by the ad. vance of the Turks and the relief commission is unable to furnish the hungry people with food. which may result in hundreds of them starving.
 The relief director reports that the Armenians are totally incapable of protecting themselves against their enemies and the only thing that will prevent the race from being exter- minated entirely is military action on the part of the allies. ~

THE PEOPLE OF BULGARIA WANT
 SOVIET GOVT
LONDON, July 30.-(R)-The pois

on of bolshevism is insidiously work ing itself into the national life of Bulgaria, according to reports receiv- ed here from Berlin tonight. The des- patches say that the radical move ment is spreading turnout that coun- try and everywhere it is being met with the widest enthusiasm.
 The people of Bulgaria, the report says, are turning toward bolshevism as the hope of attaining a govern ment which they believe is beneficial to the working class and it is to be expected that a. revolution of serious proportions will break out at any moment. To date, the more conser- vative element remains in control but, if the growth of the soviet idea is as fast in the next few days as it has been since last week, it will not be long before the bolshevist sympathizers will rise up and take away the reins of the government.
 The Berlin advices state several demonstrations have already occurred in the larger cities of Bulgaria but these, so far, have been peaceable al- tho it is hard to tell when bloodshed will be started.

RAMPART STILL
 PRODUCING AND
 IS PROSPEROUS

Recent reports from Rampant go to show that the camp is still taking out money. On the upper end of Little Manook creek, the oldest pro ducer of the camp, quite bit of win ter work was done on the ground owned by John w. Duncan. The same ground is now being worked by an open.cut. and, from the size of the cut, this ground should have a good cleanup this summer.
 The lower end of the same creek is also worked by the same method, and will probably produce some this summer.
 There are two hydraulic plants in operation on Hunter creek. The up- per end of the creek is owned and worked by Chas. Swanson. A small cleanup was made early this sum. mer, which amounted to about six thousand dollars, or, about two dol lars to the foot. It is expected that
  this ground will clean up about twen- ty thousand dollars before the freeze up.
 The lower end of this creek is own ed and worked by A. Ott, who is also we'll satisfied with his work so far this season.
 Little Manook, IT,, and Slate creek are also being worked, but not to any great extent. owing to the few people located there
 M. P. Fleischman, who resided at Rampant for twenty-two years. and who was postmaster at the same place for twenty-one years, has mov- ed to Fairbanks, where he intends to remain indefinitely.

 SOVEREIGNTY.

COMMITTEE IN
 FAVOR OF RANK

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-(R-The military committee of the house fav- orably reported today on the measure authorizing the appointment of Gen erals John J. Pershing and Peyton c. March to the permanent rank of general in the American army. The vote of the committee was unani- nous on that portion of the bill ap- plying to General Pershing but the members were divided, seven against and eight for, on the clause provid- ing permanent rank for General March.
 Both of these men now hold the rank of general but it is merely a promotion for the emergency of war only and they must be reduced to their former rank of major general in case the bill fails to pass con- gress, which is considered highly improbable.

San Francisco, Seattle. and Portland, five hundred dollars in cash awards are to be given for letters detailing the most memorable incidents of the great Nome rush, no reservation be- ing made regarding the incidents, which may concern any happening that appeals to the sourdough as memorable.
 Mr. Katterjohn who created the photoplays Carmen of the Klondike" and "The Flame of the Yukon" is soon to undertake the production of his most pretentious Alaskan photo story and desires to employ actual incidents of the gold-mad days of Nome when picturing his newest film play.
 Any man who was in Nome during 1899 and 1900 may supply the desired incident" says MT. Katterjohn. q am seeking the sourdough's individual opinion of what was memorable. The incident may be deep with pathos. or rib-tickling in it's funniness; tense with virile action or joyous in it's TO- nance. One person may think cer- tain incident was memorable, while an utterly different matter appealed to some one else. Actual names and dates are desired, tho these will not be divulged. Style and manner of writing will not influence the decision will be seriously considered, whether written in ink or with pencil. despite length or brevity, and on any kind of paper. High sounding words will have no value. The incident is the thing and almost any sourdough is likely to furnish just what is wanted"
 The total award of five hundred dollars will be distributed as follows: For the incident deemed most suita- ble. $2OO; second, $100; third. $50. and payments of $10 each for the next fifteen accounts of memorable events Where the letter is accompanied by pictures and photographs, five dollars each will be paid for their use. These pictures and photographs will be re- turned unharmed. The only spipula- tion is that all letters should be mail ed from Alaska before August 20th, 1919, and addressed to Monte M. Katterjohn, Waldorf building, Venice, California.
 It is claimed that more than a hundred thousand dollars will be lav- ished on this greatest of all Alaskan film dramas, and no effort or expense will be spared to make it the most authentic picture of its kind yet pro- duced. As yet untitled, it will be released as a Katterjohn Special of not less than seven reels length-a full evenings entertainment.

SERIES SCHEDULEDFOR
 AUGUST I6-l7
NENANA TEAM AND FANS WILL COME TO FAIRBANKS FOR BASEBALL SERIES AUGUST 16- 17-BIG CROWD PLANS TO MAKE THE TRIP.

According to an announcement made last night by Manager Chas. Beam, of the local baseball club, the Nenana baseball team will arrive m Fairbanks early Saturday, August 16, for three-game series of baseball to be played on August 1917. A big crowd of fans will accompany the towns team and remain for the three games.
 It had been planned by the local team to bring the Nenana club here for Labor Day, but information re- ceived from the railroad town yester- day said that it would be impossible for the boys from there to come at that time as it is believed that the congressional inspection committee will be in the interior about that time, and Labor Day coming so near the first of the month would prevent many of the players from being ab- sent IrOm Nondu8.
 These difficulties being insur. President Mcdonald, of the Nenana Commercial Club yester- day telephOned Manager Beam asking if it would be possible to arrange an earlier date, adding that MT. Browne has assured him that the employees on the team could be granted an absence on Au- gust 1917 in order to make the trip. It was also stated that MT. Browne would furnish large number of people transportation facilities on the launches of the commission and that in this manner good crowd of Nenana fans would be able to make the trip.
 After consultation with local fans and members of the executive board of the local commercial club, Mana. ger Beam decided to advance the date to the time suggested and the series will be played August 1917. One game will be played on Saturday and the other two on Sunday. al. lowing the Nenanaites to return home Sunday night.
