OIL PROSPECTS PROMISING; BETTER DAYS FORECASTED SAYS GEORGE (. HAZELET

George c. Hazelet, of the Chilcat Oil Company, is in Cordova from the scene of that company's operations near Katalla. MT. Hazelet reports that thirteen wells are now being pumped on the Chilcat Company's one patent ed claim, with daily production of 45 barrels. Plans are now under way for the installation of drilling ma chinery, preparatory to drilling new we'll When this is done, says MT. Hazelet, operations so far as drilling is concerned will be closed down for the winter.
 MT. Hazelet expresses himself as very much pleased at the develop ments now taking place in the Cold Bay district, where the Standard Oil and General Petroleum Companies are prospecting with the possibility of per manent operations. "This develop ment," said MT. Hazelet, "is on the right basis. Money will be spent there to an extent and in amounts sufficient to prove once for all what the oil situation is in Alaska. Prospect of the Alaska field on any other basis is unjust and foolhardy. The develop 'ment by these large companies means that the work will be done thoroughly and we'll. It is a splendid thing for Alaska--the best that has happened in many day, and it is an encouraging and hopeful sign of better days to come"

NOME ROAD . IS FOR SALE
 BY BOARD

A formal resolution of approval of the Alaska Road Commissions rec ommendation to purchase the Seward Peninsula Railroad was passed unani- mously by the Territorial Road Com mission and the deposit of $1,000 in B. M. Behrends Bank was authorized as an evidence of the Territory's good faith. The purchase price recommend- ed by the Alaska Road Commission is $25,O0O, which was approved condi- tionally.
 The Territorial boards acceptance of the recommendation and approval of of the price is conditioned on "the physical condition of the road being unchanged since the negotiations for purchase of the road were inaugural ed," said Karl Thiele secretary of the Territorial board. The resolution passed by the board also provides that the $1,O00 authorized as good faith deposit shall constitute the ini- tial payment on the road and "that the remaining payments shall be made in two equal installment in three and six months from date of ratification of purchase" said Mr Theile.
 The latest negotiations for the pur- chase of the road were carried out by Col J. c. Gotwals, acting as execu- tive officer for the Alaska Road Con- mission. If the deal is consummated in time that organization, said Colonel Gotwals recently, will begin it's re- mobilization of the road during the pres ent working season.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-Declar- ing that "these conditions cannot remain in free America" President Harding yesterday delivered his an- ticipated address before Congress covering the industrial crisis due to the railway stfike. Speaking of the assertion of trains on the west ern deserts recently, the President said that the act revealed cruelty and a contempt for law on the part of some railway employees who have conspired to paralyze trans portation" In some cases, he de-
 clared, striking unions had not held men to observance of the strike law, and "there is a state prevalent of lawlessness shocking to every American conception of law and order" MT. Harding announced that it was his intention to invoke the civil and criminal laws which forbid conspiracies hindering interstate commerce, and added that he was resolved to use Call the power of the Government in maintaining trans portation and sustaining the rights of men to work" MT. Harding added that it was "only fair to say that the great mass of organized workmen do not approve" of the lawlessness which has in some instances pre- vailed, and it was in his faith in the cooperation of the workers them selves in efforts to remedy the sit uation that he said: "These con- ditions cannot remain in free Am- erica" |sNN
 Proceeding with suggestions for spe- cific measures calculated to meet such crises as the present industrial situation entailed, the President de-
 clared that the right of employers and employees alike to conduct business must be recognized. He deplored what he termed "warfare on unions of labor" Proceeding, the President stated that national investigation lead ing to constructive recommendations as to the conduct of the coal indusry was imperative, and he recommended a government commission to advise fair wages and working conditions. Immediate legislation to this end was Vrged For the establishment tenn pofarily of national coal agency" with necessary capital to purchase, sell and distribute coal, the President declared himself favorable. The Esch-C -Cummins Act establishing the railroad Labor Board was inadequate, MT. Harding declared, since the board
 invested with little or no power to
 nforce it's decisions. He recommend
 action which would make those de-
 ms enforceable and effective s nst carriers and employees alike.' 1T legislative recommendations 1nade in the course of the Presidents speech were for better protection Of aliens and enforcement of their treaty rights through a law giving Federal courts jurisdiction to that end. Dis
