PRESIDENT HARDING TO GET BIGGEST PORCUPINE
 EVER SEEN IN AMERICA

Mike L. McAllister, known upon occasions among his friends as Ward" of Mckinley Lake, is in town accompanied by his Great Dane pal, old Si, bear-hunter, and authorized The Times to say that he and Si had decided to catch the biggest and best-quilled porcupine in all Alaska, to be sent to Presi- ent Warren G. Harding, to be used as the Chief Executive may see fit, as a sentinel guard against political in- sectivori, or as piece de resistance in a White House mulligan.
 McAllister also hopes to catch, alive, a pair of brown bears, each larger, he believes than, the one killed by Dr. w. H. Chase. The male bears foot track measures g by 13 inches in the soft mud he said, and the consort's was by ii 1-2 inches. He said he trailed the pair of bruins for miles and knows where to locate them "The male will make Dr. Chase's big bear look like a cub," he said.
 Si, the dog, an enormous animal trained to do many tricks, is recov- ering from his last set-to-with a huge porcupine, which shot him full of quills.

'REVOLT OF OFFICIALS" 0UELLED IN GERMANY
 AS STATE DISLOYALTY

BERLIN, April 13. - The right to strike is denied all employees of the government, in an order issued today by the German Minister of Transporta- tion, who characterized the recent strike of engineers on the government officials and members of the Reich stag support this position.
 Latof quarters, and particularly Communist circles, take issue with the government, admitting that officials are bound "to obedience" to the state, but on the other hand are working men and women who must combat un- favorable wage and living conditions with any weapons available. The strike is their only effective weapon, they declare.
 Use of emergency workers, like the Technische Nothilfe, to keep ssen- tial public utilities operating during strikes, heretofore tacitly recognized by labor, which furnished members to the association, now is generally con- demned by labor.
 The Technische Nothilfe was an i'm portant factor in breaking the strike of the railroaders, and therefore has shown not a good servant but an ene- my of organized labor
