COAL MINERS PROBED

New York.-Coal dealers in this
city are buying wholesale by the
Tong" ton of 2,240 pounds and selling
it to the public by the short" ton
of 1000 pounds, according to a probe
conducted by Federal District Attor
ney Hayward. This is a difference of
about liz per cent in weights at
which the coal is bought and sold. 1t
is stated that more domestic coal has
been shipped into this city since April
last than in any recent year for the
same period of time. The report de-
clares that lower prices @are to be
expected" because Of the increased
coal supply.

Washington, d. Representatives
OF twenty-five organizations of men
and women, comprising the perma-
nent conference for the abolition of
child labor, met at the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor building, and agreed
to support in both houses of the COM
ing session Of congress the following
amendment to the constitution of the
United States.
'The congress shall have power to
limit and to prohibit the labor of per-
sons under eighteen years of age, and
power is also reserved to the s,v-
eral states to limit and to prohibit
such labor in any way which does not
lessen any limitation of such labor
or the extent of any prohibition
thereof by congress"
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, pre-
sided at the meeting. Reports from
the members of the various organiza-
tions indicated that the sentiment in
favor Of an amendment to the con
stitution to protect child life had re-
ceived great impetus in the past year
owing to the increased number Of
children working in gainful occupa-
tions. The reason for this, it was
said, was that after the supreme
court had declared unconstitutional
the law taxing the net profits of en-
ployers of child labor the employment
of children increased to an alarming
extent. The federal law had had an
influence on the enforcement of state
laws. On being declared void there
fore enforcement was relaxed in. the
states.

THAT LITERACY BILL

Proponents of the literacy bill are again becoming active, and apparently the damned spot will not out. This bill came so near passing at the last session of the Territorial legislature, that it threw a tremendous scare into it's opponents, most of whom were pol ticians of the old school type, who feared to lose the Aleut, Eskimo and Indian vote.
 The literacy bill was D ct the bes, of the many bills introduced in the Territorial legislature. It was solidly supported by the delegation from the Third division; but opposed by several from the First, Second and Fourth where the Indian population is strong and illiteracy prevails to a more or less extent. In fact, so ignorant are the Indian voters in many districts in the above precincts, that they do not know whether the czar of Russia gov erns Alaska or Queen Victoria.
 The coming election will see all candidates pledged to support the lit eracy bill before they are elected The Women's Club of the Territory are yielding wide influence in poll tics, and they stand unreservedly be- hind the bill. Many of those opposing

PATHFINDER MAY MOVE

WORD reaches here from Valdez that the Pathfinder, the Pioneer All. Alaska Magazine, may go back to the town of its birthh, Anchorage, two Of its citizens dickering for control of the popular journal. The Pathfinder was started about four years ago, by John Frame, then living at Anchor age. After the publication of two numbers the magazine was removed to Valdez, and later company was organized and the magazine taken over from Mr Frame, who went to Hyders. Contrary to reports at the time Mr. Frame was we'll paid for his interest in the Magazine, and was not forced out of the company, going out because he desired to take a po- litical job at Hyder.
 Frank Kempfer, now in Valdez, was another heavy stockholder in the company, he owning practically one thousand shares. The other share holders purchased from ten to 200 shares, in order to pay Mir Frame, and place the company on a sound financial basis.
 The new publication met with pop ular approval and grew to a circula- tion envied by the papers of the Ter ritory. Owing to pressure of business the past year has seen the magazine on the toboggan, and it is for the pur pose Of reviving and improving il that the Anchorage company has made its offer of purchase.
 The magazine at the present time is the property of the Pioneers of Alaska, and is endorsed by the sever al Igloos. No one stockholder can have more than POO shares of stock and in case it is bought by the An chorage company it will be necessary to buy out such shareholders as de- sire to dispose of their interests.

WONDERS OF AMERICA

When the resources of Alaska shall have approXimated adequate develop ment it truly will have won in perpet- uity its claim to be called the won- derland of America In picturesque beauty, grandeur, and wealth it is aI- ready such a wonderland. Nor Swift zerland. nor Italy can vie with the mountain scenery of Alaska. No coun- try in the world can equal its lakes and forests, its mighty woodlands and its imperial valleys, its glaciers, or the glamor of that romance which was wrought by the hardy men who dared this glorious northland and won it for our own.

LITERACY TEST MORE RIGID

Reports come from the great state of New York that they are making the literacy test more rigid there as a qualification for voting. In Alaska it is not necessary to be able to reao in order to vote, the legislature made up in many instances, of members who are given liberal support by a lot of illiterates, having rejected the literacy bill. Thus the difference be- tween Alaska and New York.
 Anyone contemplating running in November, 1924, for the legislature of Alaska, will be required to state em- phatically before election his position on a literacy bill. He will be con- pelled to choose between support of those able to read and write and those who do not know "B" from Bulls foot."-Ketchikan Chronicle.

dulged in by playful mobs, who by the way are not masked during their interchange of amenities, it is a sure thing that the membership of the 'knightly" assassins will dissolve in short order.
 While the Klan served it's purpose following the Civil War, its reorganl- zation and deeds of lawlessness have not proven popular with the public It could not understand why man ot purported bravery could uphold the law by masking himself and taking a man or woman into the darkness and whipping them to a point of death. Norman Hapgood's articles in Hearsts Magazine have done more to expose the duplicity and rottenness of the Klans than any other one thing. So fearful have the Klans become of these exposes that an injunction has been asked for to prevent their pub lication. While it appears ludicrous for a member of an organization which supersedes the law to appeal to the law for protection, such is the case. If the trial judge is a member of the Klan or can be approached un- der darkness the injunction may be granted. While We can see no cause for injoining the magazine from pub fishing these articles, perhaps it is as we'll that they are not. They have al ready blackened officials in high places with the taint of disloyalty and lawlessness. They cover before popular opinion and fear to stand un- masked.
 There is no place in present day society for the man who hides his acts behind mob and a mask. There is no bravery in half hundred men whipping one, nor is there anything in the spectacle calculated to uplift humanity Wherever the Klans have appeared neighbor is against neighbor and each man is supicious of the other. The dispersal of mob by a mob, however, is fitting end to all organization of would-be murderers.

A POPULAR PASTIME

MEMBERS Of the ku klux klan, that hooded organization which is at tempting to elevate humanity with a blacksnake and pot of tar, is finding itself in peck of trouble. Law abid- ing citizens of the country, finding the courts and law officials members of the Klans, have taken things into their own hands, following the meth ods of the Klansmen, and at several places gatherings of the masked riders have been mobbed and beaten, and in some instances it's members have been killed.
