WASHINGTON, D. C., April 24. Timothy Shea, who is appearing before the federal labor board for the purpose of presenting the claims of the Brotherhood of Fireman, warned the board this morning against delaying action on wage de- mands which have been presented.
 The men, he said, have been fed on promises until they are thorough ly tired of the dilatory tactics. He explained that the strikers contend that they and their families were starving to death at work, and con- cluded, after waiting long in vain

 The men on strike, Shea pointed out, had been patriotic and patient, while profiteers plundered the coun- try. Thousands of war millionaires were created, while the workers stuck to their lowly positions un- complainingly. The landlords of the country were not patriotic and the grocers were not patient.
 In conclusion, Shea declared that soaring prices make a mockery of the Governments promise to reduce the cost of living.

suits will be secured only through a co-ordinated administration of all national affairs in Alaska by a fed eral organization with office in Alas ka, charged with the responsibility of Alaska development, as outlined in the Alaska Development Board measure.
 May we request that your organ ization take up the study of this question and furnish us with your views, together with a statement of all facts that you can obtain as to the obtacles to development in your locality under the present divided and inefficient method of admins tration of federal affairs in Alaska? '? Your views and the facts you can furnish will prove of inestimable value to the congressional commit tees in their study of this question
 You will probably be able to fur nish valuable data on the loss and delay due to the administration of the land laws from Washington and how such delays have tended to retard and discourage development.
 The necessity for a comprehensive plan of road and trail construction that will make possible the develop ment of the mineral resources should also be shown.
 The difficulties of the homeStead- CT in your locality should be fully covered; The cost of clearing land, the necessity of diversified farming, and the measures of aid or credit that are essential to the success Of the pioneer homesteader. I would suggest that where possible this be secured in the form of personal statements from the homcsteaders by letters addressed to yourselves.
 Under the present laws it is nov impossible to export birch timber from Alaska, while its removal in clearing the land for cultivation is cause of heavy expense to the homesteader and is retarding his success.
 I am simply citing the above to illustrate some of the essential needs of your locality that now oc- cur to me, wherein a constructive policy and the centralized admins tration of federal affairs in Alaska will aid in the development of your section.
 As the House Committee on the Territories is preparing to take up the study of this question in about a months time, we would request

AVIATOR, YOUNG GIRL AND
SCHOOL BOY ARE VICTIMS

While flying at an altitude of 500
feet with two passengers, Miss Claris
Hart, 10, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
8. A. Hart, and John D. Ratcliff, 10
year-old son of Mrs. Joseph Ratcliff,
both of Cunningham, the airplane
piloted by Emil Saegusser of Bushton
caught fire and hurled to earth, kill
ing all of the occupants one day last
week.
Saegusser, commercial aviator,
had been taking up passengers since
IL o'clock that morning and before
starting on the fatal flight announced
that it would be the last one he
would make with passengers.
Miss Hart was a teacher in the
Cunningham schools and her father
is retired farmer. They were among
the several hundred witnesses who
watched the plane fall in flames.
The airplane was a Curtis bi-plane
which Saegusser had purchased from
the War Department last July What
caused the machine to catch fire is
not known. A report that Saegusser
was smoking when he "took off" was
not verified.
Saegusser has been flying for al
most four years. He served during
the war with the headquarters troop
Of the 10th Division at Camp Funs-
ton. He had been flying over a year
prior to that time.
When the bodies of the three were
removed from the smoking wreckage,
they were charred so badly that they
we're not recognizable. An ambu-
lance from Pratt was called.
Saegusser has been making flights
Ill over western Kansas for the past
several years. He was % years old.
He boosted here today that he had
taken up $500 passengers without
m accident.
The accident occurred about half
nile south of here. The gas tanks
appeard to explode and the plane was
enveloped in flames. The motor
topped and the machine crashed to
earth.
Besides the horrible burns sus-
tanned the bodies of the two passen-
gers and the pilot were badly crushed
beneath the wreckage. All were
dead when found.
Miss Hart is distant relative of
Roy Lyman, the auctioneer.

The tragic death of a beloved

Ronald Byron, engaged to play the

by his physician to cancel his con-

region, because of his recent recov-
cry from influenza.
Byron, however, thought his
friendship for and loyalty to Nell
Shipman, star of the story, refused
to grant his physicians request.
"Ths is Nell's big chance" he said.
"Tm Going to help her to produce
the most novel of all motion pictures.

Cities Must Help

The municipalities must help
baseball, too-not only for the sake
of the game but for elf-preserva-
ton. If gambling rings like the
corruption syndicate that brought
shame to the nationa. game can
thrive as this one has they will cor
rupt men of weak character in other
ways, as they corrupted these base
ball players. They will get their
easy money still so long as they go
unpunished.
l think that a new controlling
body in baseball would get the help
of the municipalities and even the
help Of the Federal government, for
the game is worth preserving. More
over, the fact that ring of gam
blers could put over" a thing of
this sort is of enough concern to
thoughtful citizens to want things
Of this sort made impossible.
