,;US GELLES LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN FUR TARIFF
 bRII. COLUMb|A COAL

Gentlemen: Kindly give publicity to the fact that campaign was re- gently launched by Gus Gelles, sales manager of the Evan Jones Coal Com pany tor tariff on imports Ol foreign coal into Alaska of at least s4.0J Der ton. Such tariff would automati-- cally drive Canadian coal out of Alas ka and give Alaskan coal operators a market they are justly entitled to. Gov Scott c. Bone has endorsed the movement and the aid of Delegate Sutherland is pledged. Congre ssman Charles F. Curry and United States Senator Wesley L. Jones have been come from both in the very near ft- ture that they will cooperate
 It IS to the interests Of all Alaskan ccal 'essees to supplement the work already done in this matter with let ters to as many Senators and Con- greScmen as possible. The writer will gladly furnish all interested parties with full particulars as to why the duty should be at least $4.OO and all other statistics pertaining thereto.
 Driving Canadian coal out of Alaska would mean the hauling of at least 1OO,Cr0 tons of coal over the Alaska railroad and the employment Of many hundreds of miners and additional train crews
 The coal mines of British Columbia are worked with Chinese and Hindl coo]ie labor and yet Alaskan coal op- orators employing American labor that is well paid are selling cheaper
