ALEC. MINERS WILL DISCUSS
 WAGE SCALE

There have been rumors in Sew ard for the past three days of q walk out of miners of the Alaskan Engin- eering Commission which would also imphcale the CraInmen on the govern ment railroad. The walkout, according to rumors, was not to be in the nature of strike, but rather method by which the miners could have a confer ence in regard to a better wage scale. The rumors had it that by the end of this week not wheel would be turn ing on the goverm ent railroad. owing to the walkout of miners and those connected with the operating depart ment as trainmen.
 The Editor called up MT. Gerigs' office this forenoon to get the facts. Private Secretary Mason answered the call as Mir. Gerig is now returning from Mile PAS where he accompanied Col. Mears and Col. Warren who are on their way to Nenana and Fair banks.
 Mir. Mason, in reply to number of questions asked, said: "E ghty five miners are coming in tomorrow from r.ska and 35 miners are coming from the Chickaloon mines to have 8 con- ference on Friday with MT. Gerig re- garding the wage scale. This is not re- carded as a strike by the miners themselves, simply walkout to come to Anchorage to discuss wages to be paid. So far as We are informed, the trainmen have not shown any implica- ton in proposed wage discussions"

American Cotton & Grain Exchange
New Orleans Cotton BY Assoniaind PrasS

New Orleans, July 26-The cotton market weakened on the opening to- day, felt further selling as the ses- sion progressed and met it's weakest period just on the close so that last prices were the lowest of the day showing losses of 69 to 75 points.
 October traded down to 3160c and December to 30.03c
 July did not follow the rest of the market It expired at noon and prior to that time bulged 130 points 70 3710c on covering by a few belated shorts A few notices were circulated but were promptly stopped.
 Most of the selling was done on the favorable weather in the belt over Sunday and on private reports of con tlnued crop progress. More or less selling was the result of expectations of high condition figures in the report due next Monday but the market reached it's lowest levels on the weak ness in the stock and grain markets and on talk of a higher money market.
 The weather map was dry and TO- ports from the interior, especially Texas, were favorable in all respects. There was even less talk of boil weev!l damages. Texas, however, sent in word that the spot basis was rising because, to all appearances, spot houses had sold too much cotton for August delivery.

FURTHER IMPETUS
 GIVEN DOWNWARD COTTON MOVEMENT
Buying Orders From Japan csc and New Orleans In- erests Caused Market
 to Rally Later
By Associated Press

New York. July 26.-The downward movement in cotton prices received fur ther impetus today from weakness in Wall street. disqueting industrial ad- vices from the west, which brought In large number of western selling or ders, heaviness in the grain markets, but more particularly a continued im- provement in the character of crop ad- vices. Closing prices. which showed net loss of F to P points, were the lowest of the day, October touching g soc. December 30.65c ands January g. .S5c.
 At the opening there was a decline of 10 to 22 points under selling induced by bearish crop adviees and easier cables but after December had dropped to 3OsOc d renewal of buying orders, principally from Japanese and New Orleans inter ests, caused the market to rally and re- gain nearly all of it's earlier loss.
 The buying was not aggressive, how ever, owing to crop adviees, which pointed towards a bearish government report next .Monday, and subsequent pressure from local sources found the market practically clear of demand and in the afternoon there was a fairly rapid collapse in prices which continued up to the close. Diminishing rainfall in the belt with high temperatures in the southwest, were calculated to check the weevil. while Texas was reported to be offering new crop cotton rather freely, and there were also increased offerings of old crop from the eastern belt.

GENERAL SMASH ON
 BOARD OF TRADE WAS
 YESTERDAYS RESULT
Wheat, Corn and Oats Hit the To- began Hard, With Provisions Fifty Gents to Two Dol
 lars Down
By Associated Pres.


 Chicago July 26-Priees underwent a trade Reports of the financial embar- rassment of big concern in the auto mobile industry accompanied the furry All grain and provisions closed heavy, with wheat 7SaMSc net lower at $2.47l4 December and s2.52 March. Corn lost 7sl a97sc, oats 4aSsse and provisions 50cM$2.
 Wheat values suffered an almost conn plete collapse. There was a rush to sell as soon as the market opened and at no time did any lasting power to rally develop. The initial selling was due to the bearish crop outlook and in partcu- lar to federal reserve bank advices, in- dieating that black rust would not cause any great impairment of the 1920 yield of spring wheat. Besides, it was said, in other quarters that the last three days of cool, clear, breezy weather had been life-saver for wheat. With the chief incentive for high prices thus swept away, the market was in no con dition for wthstanding the disturbing rumors which spread later, touching unconfirmed financial and industrial diff faculties.
 Weakness of the stock market had clnes in grain. corn and oats proving especially sensitive to this influence. Receipts of both cereals were in excess of the demand.
 Provisions tumbled with grain and hogs

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT
 SH0IILD DO

The paper manufacturers of the United States. who are deeply concerned over the situation, are persuaded that there hould be such legislation as will tend to relieve the situation. This legislation, if secured, will not only open the gov ernmsnt timber lands, of course under governmental supervision, but will also provide for reforestration. The best au- thorities. some of whom are now in New York, say that for every pulp-pro- duelng tree cut down there should be immediately planted under governmental supervision another spruce or hemlock tree. for it is upon reforestration that the safety and permanence of the sup ply of pulp for our newsprint paper de bends. If the pulp timber now avail able is utilized and if reforestration takes place then by the time the present supply is exhausted the new trees will be ready for the pulp mills. When these are cut there should be immediately planted other trees so that at last the United States can be assured of a per manent supply of pulp and not only permanent supply, but supply suffi- cient to make DS independent of Can ada
 Undoubtedly Sir Auckland has these facts in mind when he addressed the ne wspaper publishers at AsheVille, for he is anxious that there be maintained friendly political and commercial rela- tions between the United States and Canada so that all danger of action by Canada which would prevent the export to the United States of pulp would be avoided.
