WILL ESTABLISH PLANT HERE FOR
 PACKING CRABS
Thorough Test of Shell Fish Possibilities Proposed
 Early Operations.
Continued rom Page One)

turn here and start up the local plant.
 Mr Malcolm stated that there had never been real test made of shell fish possibilities in Alaska. This has been impossible, he intimated, on account of the lack of proper equipment. There are less than a dozen traps of the proper construc- tion for taking crabs in the Terri. tory and the result is that there is no means of telling what opportunity exists. At. Cordoya, he said, it IS possible to secure the large crabs, but whether or not in sufficient mum bers to make it a success.' will not be known until after the experiment has been made. The plant at Peters burg has been a success, although none of the larger size crabs have been obtained, the pack there being Dungeness crabs. The Petersburg plant. which is under the supervi- sion of his son, has put up and sold $20,000 worth of these fish. a,..4t

On his return to Seattle. after a confer. ence with the Gamers Association. and at their request, he made the second trip. going to several locali- ties. including NJuneau, Cordoya.0 La. touche and other towns. The result of this trip was the determination to establish the test plants at the places already mentioned. MT. Malcolm said that he is having constructed To- cally 150 traps for operation in con nection with the Juneau plant. These will be completed by the time he re- turns. He has also practically com pleted negotiations for local can nery in which to house his plant.
 Mir. Malcolm is an experienced shell fish canneryman. He has been engaged in the business in South Africa for many years and also has three plants in British Columbia. If the supplies. he said. are available in Alaska waters, the success of the industry is assured. There Is Sap- parently io limit to the development of the industry in Alaska, he said.

TACOMA. Wash, Aug 11.-Strik- ing miners in Pierce county show no disposition to return to work
 MADISON, Wis, Aug. 11.-Gover- nor John J. Blaine today declared for government operation and con- trol of coal mines in view of the re- cent failure in attempts of sminers and operators to get together on wage schedules. He declared that the people of the United States would suffer this coming winter as fuel was now short and it would take mines working to capacity to provide coal for even moderate consumption for the coming cold season.
 Governor Blaine expressed his sen timents in a letter to the mayor of Superior, Wis, who has asked him to call conference of Western gov ernors to discuss the coal situation.

MINE WORKERS TO SUPPORT "A ON
 MURDER CHARGE
Allege West Virginia Killings and Arrests Only Plot
 Against Union.

Washington, Jan. 28.-The "A noun taineers who go on trial on a charge of first degree murder Wednesday at Williamson, w. Va, will have the com plete support, moral and material, of the United Mine Workers of America according to an announcement by Will liam Green, national secretary and treasurer of the organization.
 The trial is the result of a sensa- tlOnal gun battle in the main street of Matewan on May 19 last, which result ed Ill 10 deaths, including the mayor of the city and seven Baldwin-Felts guards. The fight is said to have had its origin in the attempt of the guards to arrest Sid Hatfield, chief of police of Mate Wa1 Hatfield, a descendant of the feuGs:s of Hatfeld-McCoy fame, is the most prominent in the group of defend ants, which includes special police depu- ties Of Matewan and members of the miners union.
 In his statement here Mir. Green de- Clared:
 "The United Mine Workers of Amer ica are prepared to afford full support, both moral and material, to the 24 de- fendants in the murder trial at William son. w. Va, this week. This trial is a direct result of the barbarOus warfare waged on members of the United Mine Workers by the coal operators of Mingo county. And, so long as lives of mem hers of our organization are at stake, we intend to put at their disposal every means for establishing their innocence oi the charge. The court, of course, will determine their fate. But we will offer the defense every facility in our power,
 The United Mine Workers are de- termned to see justice done the locked- out miners of Mingo county. These men and their, families were evicted from their homes for the crime of joining the union. The operators enl- p1oyed professional gun men to haten use of gun men in West Virginia mining publican form of government, as or dained by the Constitution, should be restored i'll Mingo county and the arbi- trary rule of the coal barons brought to an end.
 To-day, there are many of these eviCted miners and their families living i'll tents on the bare ridges of Mingo They are enduring hardships unparal- leled in the history of American indus trial warfare. But they will not return until the operators recognize the gov ernment-proclaimed principle of collec- tive bargaining. The organization is supplying them with food and clothing, but is helpless to abate in any great degree the rigors of winter in the tent colonies.
 Aggressive action against the rule of coal operators of Mingo county w. Va, and the Birmingham district of Ala bama, is now contemplated. The time has come for a showdown, and we i1- tend to force it. The situation in both areas has nothing in common with the average industrial dispute elsewhere in this country. In both districts it is a case of workers endeavoring to free themselves from a system of peonage that has no place under our form of government"

PUSSYFOOT GETS FROST IN MAKING
 SCOTLAND DRY
People Had @ Vote There and Turned Down American
 Cold.

London, Ian. 28-"Pussyfoot" John son and the prohibitionists who, with trumpets and banners, started out to make Scotland dry have not succeeded. The last of the prohibition polls in Scotland has just been completed, and was a crushing defeat of the dry policy
 Votes were taken in 580 areas on the question of whether public houses and grocers' licenses i'll these areas should be entirely abolished, reduced by 9 per cent. or allowed to continue as before. Only Al decided for No License" and 36 for Limitation" while the remaining 503 voted No Change"
 In the totally dry areas the number of licenses lost is 317, and in the areas where limitation of sales was voted for 134 licenses were affected, making total of 451.
 There are still 8,921 places in Scot land where one can get a drink. There were in all Scotland 1,214 areas for the purposes of the act. Of this mum Der 3O3 were already dry. The pro hibition test was voted in $50 out ot the remaining 9l1. Of the total votes boiled throughout the country (approXl- 1nate1y 1,150,000 in alp 60 per cent: were for No Change, a little over 30 per cent. for No License,' and two per cent. TOT LnIllldl4OIl' L1NllNN, II country had been treated as one unit III the vote all of Scotland would have re- mained wet.
 The large cities manifested great op- position to prohibition. Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness and Dunfermline all declared positively for No Change" The dry vote was scat tered through suburban and agricultural districts. A big surprise was the op nosition of the women voters to pro intuition. It is thought that this oppoSl- ton was against the scheme of the pro hibitionists to force complete dryness and that if the vote had been only for reductions and limitations in the sale ot 1iouor the women voters would have heen more favorable toward the policy:
 Although officially the churches o1 Scotland favored mo license" several ministers spoke on public platforms aoainst the temperance party.s Propo- eals, Scottish labor also officially, tav- cred the proposals, but the vote shows that their lead was not taken by the iahoring man. An interesting fact, the cause for which is not clear, IS that the large fishing centers voted dry;

VANDERBILT URGES SUPER-SENATE TO
 ACT ON TREATIES
Would Have Elective Body of 30 Solely for Foreign
 Affairs.

New York, Jan. 28.-An elected coun- cil, sort of super-senate, with super vision over the Department of State and the country's dealings with the rest of the world, was suggested here by Frank A. Vanderlip as basis for con stitutional re-adjustment of the United States machinery for foreign relations.
 This organization would make i'm possible such a situation as ''fraught with danger" now existing between America and Japan, he said.
 Speaking at a meeting of the League of Political Education at New Yorks new social center, the Town Hail, MT. Vanderlip launched his scheme ''just for discussion. A change in the constitu- tiOn would eprovide the suggested new arm of the government, of about 30 members chosen at large throughout the country.
 It might be that we would have to make a political districting of the country similar to the financial dis tricting by the federal reserve board, Mir. Vanderlip said, but we would have this body of 30 elected with terms of 10 years, three members retiring every year. and 1 would have them sit continuously in Washington, but never more than half of them i'll Washing ton. 1 would provide that one-ha1f of them, rotating, must always be abroad.
 'l think that would eventually build an intelligent body to deal with for eigp affairs, a body of men who have seen these conditions on the ground, who have become conversant with act ual conditions, because they have ob served these conditions with their own eyes.
 Il would take from the Senate-and don't all get up and leave because of the futility of taking anything from the Senate, because 1 have an idea of that Il would take from the Senate its treaty-tnaking powers,
 Broadly speaking, it would be idle to think that you could get the Senate to agree to abrogating any of its pow CTS. But if there were 30 men in the Senate who might go into a super senate, and if there were % men i'll the Senate who thought they might, complacency on the creation of this new body.
 "I wouldn't change anything in re- gard to the presidents relation to for eign affairs-he must initiate treaties. He may still appoint tue secretary of state; he must appohlt ambassadors and minister's Their confirmation should lie in the hands of the Council of Foreign Relations.
 T know little of the Japanese situ- ation, but enough to know that it is fraught with danger and unnecessarily fraught with. danger. There isn't any reason whatever that there should be a clash between these two great people. If it comes it will arise from preju- dices, from misunderstanding, from lack of vision, from unfair, unfriendly, disCourteous acts"

TO ROUNDUP AND DEPORT PASSPORT
 LAW VIOLATORS
Aliens Here Without Proper Papers Will Be Sent
 Back to Europe.

Washington, Jan. 28.-A roundup of all aliens who have gained entrance to this country without passports may be decided upon by the State and Labor departments and the Department of Justice, which are now considering de DOrtatiOn proceedings, 1t was indicated at the State Department.
 The recent opinion of the solicitor of the State Department that resulted in the order compelling Danial O'Ca1- lahan, lord mayor of Cork, to leave this country, has convinced Acting Secretary of State Davis that the State Depart ment has final authority in all cases where aliens arrive without proper ere dentials, and he is understood to favor the immediate banishment of all who have surreptitiously gained entrance.
 The plan likely to be decided upon would provide that Department of Jus tice agents throughout the country and immigration authorities at all large centers begin an intensive campaign to ascertain whether aliens under their jurisdiction had passed through the proper official channels at the ports.
 All foreigners found to have violated the port officials will be interrogated, and if found to have violated the i'm migration or passport laws deporta- ton proceedings will be instituted and prosecuted by the Deartment of Labor.
 It developes that Acting Secretary Davis has been assured by lawyers who have made an exhaustive study of the espionage act that Harry Roland, sec retary to Ramon de Valera, the so-cal1ed president of the Irish republic, may be prosecuted for his recent utterance ad vocating a vendetta against British sub jects. Action may soon be instituted to bring about his deportation under the statute prohibiting residence here of persons who advocate violence.
