 CAPE ACTIVTCIES

! Thomas P Killen, erstwtila fed eral special agent for the suppress
 stcn of illicit liquor tralTic among
 the natives and now superintendent
 in charge of the Bureau of Educa- i.tion activities at Cape Prince of Wales. arrived in Nome last Satur- day evening on short visit.
 Mir. killeen reported that affairs at the Cape are in good posture. There is total population of 130 there this winter and 49 native children are enrolled at the Bureau of Edu- cation school. The supply of seal
 has been little short since the freezeup. he said. but walrus have been plentiful and the natives have suffered no lack of meat While en- route to Nome he heard that after his departure polar bear and also a bear cub had been shot by the will lagers. Furs had been plentiful up to the time of leaving.
 Weather conditions in the Cape section have been most severe. with many storms and much cold. A good sized herd of reindeer from the Cape herds has been driven down here and will be slaughtered and sold in the local market at reason able prices, just as soon as the weather gets a little colder.
 MT. Killeen said, adding that the native herders have tried unsuccess- fululy to bring deer here for several years, but are now in position to supply at least a large part of the local demands The animals are in fine condition he said. and will be sold on orders, which will be receiv- ed at the Bureau of Education head quarters here.
 Mir. Killeen also stated that Mrs. Killeen is well and greatly enjoys her new work at the Cape.

SHELTER CABIN NEEDED
 ON SWANSON CREEK

The need for a shelter cabin on Swanson creek. Teller, was again made evident recently, when a ma tive lost his way in the hills on the way from American River to Teller and was forced to spend one night and a day in Charles Rice's dredge on Swanson creek
 It will be recalled that the death of Tom Ward last winter was largely due to the fact that there was no adequate shelter at hand in this sec- tion, when he attempted to make Teller through the darkness and storm and the tragic result of his effort is well known.
 It would seem that before any great amount of travel or work is to be done in the American River section, no time should be lost in constructing suitable shelter cabin somewhere on the trail along Swan son creek It would be boon and a positive life saving station to the increasing number of travellers in that section. according to those who know the conditions.

Now Mine the Coal
(From the New York Heraid.)

When the leaders OF the coal
strike reject President Harding's
plan of arbitration to settle their
dispute with commission 10 in
vestisate conditions in the industry.
they betray their hand They have
pretended TO want that very thing
for their unions but that is not
what they really have wanted. So
when the chance comes TO get what
they said they wanted they will not
take IT,
The coal strike leaders don't want,
never have wanted, an arbitration
commission to FIX the wage scale
only for union mines What they
want, ana what they have been driv-
ing at In all their Government ma
neuyers. is to have a wage scale
fixed for all mines, union and nom
union. They know that even II an
arbitration award did give them
their old scale that things OF itself
would not and could not give the
union men Jobs, permanent jobs. at
such a scale. They did not have the
Jobs before the strike; they would
not have the jobs after the strike.
The union leaders know. as the
mine owners know. that with the
non-uDion mines labor cost down
where IL is the union mine. with It's
labor cost up where il is cannot
meet the non-unlon mine in the
competitive market for the so per
cent of the country's soft coal needs
now supplied by the cheaper nom
union mine product. They know that
when the union mine cannot sell It's
coal the union mine cannot keep
union miners at work.
IL is true that owing TO the pres
ent shortage of supply there prob
ably would be a market for all the |
coal that could be offered before |
winter comes with its difficulties OF |
fuel transportation. But after this |
first rush TO I'LL the store yards and /
the bins price would again assert |
its determining influence on what |
coal could sell and what coal could |
not sell.
The non-union mines which are
now able to supply 60 per cent. OF
the country's soft coal needs would |
go right on selling their product
after the strike settlement. as they
had sold It befose for the good and
sufficient reason that they can get
Il out and do get It out at that lower
production cost than tho union
mines can get theirs out. The non
union mines production cost is
ower because not only Is their wage
scale lower but the workers produce
more coal with a given plant and in
a given time.
Ana this means that n the union
'trike had been called off, but the
I'D scale continued. the union men

TIME FOR PLAIN TALKING

From the Detroit Free Press.
The coal strike conferees at Wash
ington have adjourned until next
Monday. with nothing accomplished
toward settlement. Angry
charges" marked their last session,
we are told. Angry charges will not
retain their heat long enough to
warm American homes this winter
or keep factory fires going.
1t is pretty nearly time for some
one else TO get mad. President
Harding and the government repre-
sentatives at the conference. Secre-
taries Davis and Hoover. ought to be
able TO work up a sufficient volume
OF wrath to convince the stubborn
operators and strike leaders that il IL
to their mutual interest TO get to-
gether quickly.
The two sides have not yet got
down TO a discussion OF the merits
OF the controversy because the OPP
orators Insist on district conferences
while the miners want the dispute
adjusted on a basis OF the central
competitive field. That is indeed
thrilling to the man whose coal bin
is empty.
The chief trouble evidently IS that
it has not yet penetrated the skulls
OF the mine owners and mine work.
ers that the American people are
going to have coal TO burn. whether
the Washington conferees can agree
on a basis OF negotiations or not.
And that coal is coming out Of the
mines which an all-wise Providence
placed in this country for the COM
fort and convenience OF It's inhabi-
tants.

A report to the teachers council
