BALLAINE DON'T LIKE
 FREE" TALK ON ALASKA

Seattle, Sept l, P)- Coming to
 the defense of the Alaska govern
 ment railroad. John E. Ballaine.
 founder of Seward and builder of
 the Central railroad charged that
 the government road Was secretly
 controlled by New York interests,
 hostile to the enterprise and de-
 termined to prevent its develop
 ment" in replying to the reeom-
 mendation of Congressman Free for
 the abandonment of the railroad
 said that the railroad would con-
 tinue to lose two million dollars yearly until competent and honest men are put at the head of il.
 He said "If Congressman Free had examined the 1914 and 1923 reports of the Naval coal commiss- ion he would not say "the govern ment tests proved the coal along the road too poor a grade to use for ships or industries" On the contrary the commissions made el- aborate tests of the coal from the Matanuska district with coal from West Virginia and officially gave the Matanuska coal a rating of 15 10 5 percent better than the V1r- gipia coal and suitabel for Navy use. It is true that in face Of these favorable reports Secretary Denby arbitrarily discontinued de velopment work of the Naval coal reserves and undertook to trans Ter the Nhval reserves back to the Interior department under Secy Fall who was negotiating to lease hem to private holders the same IS was done with Teapot Dome oil ields. These facts include infor- nation submitted by Senator Len .oot and myself to President Cool dge on February fourteenth of asst year. Four days after Cool i dge got the facts and found that 1e was officially misinformed, Den ,y hastily resigned. The Matan- iska fields will not only supply he Navy on the Pacific at saving ,f three dollars q ton under the present cost from coal on the At antic or a total of nine hundred thousand dollars but can supply he consumers on the Pacific coast.

 rails. The railroad is one of the most expensive in the world. One snow slide last caused the damage of s50,00o. The road re- quires snow sheds, tunnels and tressles which are difficult to con- struct and expensive, and many are carried away by snowslides.
 When asked what remedy he would suggest, Free replied, Pull up the rails and make highway of the road bed or make a high way from Portage Bay and aban- don the raidroad from Seward to Anchorage.
 Free said that his ten thousand mile trip convinced him that Alas ka is the land of mistaken pol icies'', the forestry and mining reg ulations should be altered as those are throttling indus'ry. With all teration of policy the salmon in dustry would be on a permanent basis within three or four years.
 He said that the greatest men ace to the industry is an organ ized gang of pirates who make at least hundred thousand dollars yearly through bribery of watch men who are employed to enforce
 he regulations for the government during the closed fishing periods.
 Free advocated that the Alaska road work should be carried on through one bureau instead of un- der the Forestry and War Depart ment and the Road Commission. He said that the paper and pulp , industry should he helped by the modification of the forestry reg nlations. saying tha' investors are scared away by the clause in the thirty-year timber lease winch provides for revaluation every live wears.
