RAILROAD TO BUILD
 MODERN HOSTELRY AT CURRY

Should it become necessary for the Alaska railroad to make use of Cur ry next winter and in the winters to come as an overnight division point. as was done prior to the inaugura- ton of the through train service, travellers will be provided with the best of hotel accomodations. The contract already has been let for the construction of a modern comhina- tion hotel and depot building, at a cost of approximately $5O,OOO
 Contractor Bartley Howard, who is in charge of the work of building the Nenana depot, will build the Curry hotel and depot. and plans to start work on the structure within the very short time, so that the building will be ready for occupancy during the fall. Some of the materials and fixtures will be shipped to Curry from Chickaloon where there are i several government buildings unoc- cupied at present as the result of the suspension of coal mining activities in that locality. The buildings are i to be partially dismantled, but left
 in such condition that they can be
 restored to usefulness on short mo- ] tiCe.

MAY ROBSON
HERE TUESDAY
Well Known Coincidence
Appears At Auditorium
In 1T Pa Us To Smile"
(By Geo. A. BensOn.)

May Robson the perennially young
and refreshing Coincidence and
talented star Of some very excellent
plays, graced the chilly, u~nattractive
and promulgated stage at the Audi
forum last night in ut Pays To
Smile" a mixture ]concocted out of a
tale from Mr.. George Horace Lori
mer's hebdomadal magazine.
1t is not much of a play, this. 1T
Pays To Smile" but it is refreshing
to sit again in a theatre and watch
real fesh-and-blood actors at play be-
yond the footlights. 1t always is a
pleasure to see Miss Robson, for she
an actress with youth in her heart.
who can extract the last ounce of
humor from a line or a situation. Her
talents are dissipated in her present
play, though, for she gets no oppor-
tunity to display then at their richest
and fullest.
Little need be said Of the drama.
1t simply has been thrown together to
give Miss Robson a vehicle, but it is
full of theatrical hokum, cheap stun
which has come down from the days
when the most momentous happen
ings in ones life were in sawmills or
or the bridge at midnight. There are
several good comedy scenes, but they
are the kind that a pot-boiling play
| wright rubber-stamps in the manu-
script when he finds it necessary to
draw a laugh. The remainder Of it is
just poor melodrama, with The blue
and green lights that one always finds
in the asst act and the sinking
"Eyetalian," who, by the way, is very
poorly visualized in this particular in
stance. It is too bad that Miss Rob-
son can not get a better drama. She
is deserving of much more at the
hands Of the theatrical world, and n
hates to see her playing with the dead
and decaying foliage in the Autumn
when the west Wind is blowing the
wine and the gold from the trees over
the heights. h should be playing
where nature is the most s~pendthrift,
with happy folk who can play and
sing and dance as we'll as she. Some
playwright, with a song on his lips,
and love in his heart, and a feather in
his cSp, should sit down in the woods
and pen her play. She liz not a dusk
ing star, as Mr.. Augustus Pitou would
have us think when he. sends her out
in such things as 1T Pays To Smile"
So arise, some new Pan, and sing her
a song!
Mr.. Pitou should give her a better
supporting company. too. She has to
carry the whole burden in the. drama
she Is. presently playing. She gets
fair asstance from Margaret Borough,
but not the kind she needs. Miss
Borough has some talents. but she
needs a little restraint, "a little polish
ia little grace. Henry Crosby does
we'll as Pinto Pegs, but he overplays
at times. Orrin T. Burke and Russell
Hicks are very poor in their roles. Mr.
Burke is a bad e~locutionist, and Mr.
Hicks ia unable to get his voice out Of
/ his stomach.
has been Mr.. Pitou's want. But
then, it's hard to make the Aud
forum stage look presentable. I. II
needs many things (good lights
among them) to make It stage.

indianapolis, March 23.-(By The
Associated Press.)-Great coal strikes
such as the country is now facing,
il,ve been few although for seventy
five years the coai industry had been
marked by almost numberless state
wide and. localized strikes, often in
vclving several thousands of workers.
AZ: of the big strikes have continued
more than Il mouth. the longest hav-
ing Decn that Of 1909 in the arthra-
cite industry which continued %
weeks.
The big strikes-fiVe in number"
are summarized as follows:
1S94-First general strike in the
soft coal industry, called by the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, the
purpose being to restore wage scales
that had been decreased during the
panic OF '93; 100000 to 10000 men
engaged and militia called out in four
states; first attempt at a compromise
failed, but second conference of min
ers and operators ended with adop-
ton OF a scale agreement.
1S97-July 4th walkout of 10000
miners, called by d. NJ. Ratchford.
president of the U. NJ. W. OF \. de-
spite an over-stocked coal market.
which union officials feared would re-
suit in wage reductions on account OF
the slow coal trade; strike was called
off after II weeks duration. at the
end Of which the market had been de-
pleted; first great successful strike OF
the U. NJ. w. Of A.
19o0-Anthracite strike in Septem-
ber and October, engaged $4,000 and
ended with miners getting 10 to Is
per cent increases in wages.
19Oo-Great anthracite strike. led
by the late John Mitchell, as president
of the U. NJ. w. of A., lasted 90 weeks,
May to October; 100000 men engag-
ed, and finally called off when Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed a commits
sion that afterward gave the miners
Il 10 per cent wage advance. and made
their contract for three years, ending
April !, 1890.
191e-Nation-wide soft coal strike
in November and December of $685.

MUCH MUSICAL
TALENT FOUND
In EVANSTON

.. Evanston, Il.-Psychological tests
have disclosed much latent musical
genius among Evanston school chill
dren, according to Prof. Osbourne
McConathy, head Of the department
Of community music at the school of
music, and Prof. Elmer f. Jones, di-
rector of the school of education,
Northwestern university. Tho pro-
fessors are directing, experiments
from time to time among several hun
'dred children. The children's bureau
Of the United States department Of
labor has been investigating their
work in the course of an inquiry
along this line in 20 Of the largest
cities and seats of education in the
union; reports are expected to be
made public several months hence. A
government investigation. Mrs. Mary
S. Hayes is quoted by Northwestern
authorities as describing the work
here as we'll in advance Of anything
like it in America, and as practically

FIVE BIG COAL STRIKES ARE RECORDED
IN PAST SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS In u. S.

900 miners called off by union in com
| pliancc with a court injunction, OBJ
tanned by Attorney General Palmer
Nunder the wartime Lever fuel control
law; commission later appointed by
President Wilson gave miners an in
crease OF approximately 81 per cent
in wages-their largest single In
crease.
Stocks More Ample,
Unlike the last great strike. the
impending one begins with warm
weather approaching. while the 1913
shutdown came with winter. Stocks
now are more ample than then. but
the present situation is much X the
Fourth Of July walkout Of 1897. Out
of the strikes. both large and small,
the workers as a general proposition
wages and improved working condi-
tons. But victory has not always
been theirs. though the big strike
settlements have favored them. The
operator successes. however, include
wage reductions. denial of increased
wages. changed working conditions.
and the crushing Of two unions-the
first national organization OF miners,
founded in 1850. which persisted in a
series Of strikes at the close OF the
Civil war. and the Workmen's Be-
%nevolent association. an organization
Of Snthracite workers, which was de-
moralized In 1875 after Is years ex-
iStence.
First Strike in 1840.
The first coal strike in the United
States occurred in 1S49 in the Penn
~sSlvania anthracite field when a Brit
ish miner named Bates organized a
local union and sought to increase
wages and better working conditions.
His strike failed and Bates was forced
to leave the field and for eleven
years the workers made no further
attempt at organization.
Since Bates day many leaders have
been developed among the workers
and strikes of various sorts, for
varied purposes have been carried on.
the early fight being largely centered
to small areas, occasionally including
an entire state coal field.

CEREMONIES ARE.
NOT DISCARDED
Circumstances in China
Have Not Changed Ger
tain Habits.

Peking-1n spite of the fact that
Ching dynasty has been, out of power
since 1911 and the present emperor
OF China is a virtual prisoner in the
Forbidden City of Picking, all cere-
monies connected with the Manchu
emperors are still kept up. At the
recent Chinese New Years celebration
the customary honor was paid to the
spirits of the emperors in their rest
ing place at the Eastern Tomba. or
ferings of food and provisions were
placed before the tombs and the old
Manchu officials who are still retain
ed in office by the Ching dynasty
kowtowed according to the custom
prescribed in Manchu house law for
the imperial family.
Find Difficulties.
These officials are experiencing
considerable difficulty in following
out all the old customs because of
the lack OF funds BILE for the
npkeep OF the emperors' tombs. The
funds promised to the imperial fam
lily by the republican government are
usually very tardily paid with the re-
suit that poverty is facing the n c
time affluent Manchus. At the cast
ern tonrbS many OF the ManchuS. dc
Frived of the annual stipend formerly
paid by the imperial government,
have been forced to become gather
ers of wood and charcoal in order
to support themselves. The old towns
and villages are falling into ruins, the
forests of the huge tract devoted to
the burial of the emperors are fast
becoming devastated. and the monu
mental tombS are beginning to fall
into ruin and decay.
Every effort is being made by the
officials of the tombs. however, tc
maintain the glory of the dead EN-.
perors, and the ceremonies at New
Years typified the attitude of these
faithful adherents of a departed or.
der who refuse to allow the glory ol
the Ching dynasty and the Manchl
rule to be dimmed.
