Larqer Ship Recommended for Initial Alaska Service; Difficulties Sur mounted

Addressed to the trustees and stock holders of the Alaska Airship Com pany, the following circular, mailed to The Gateway, reveals little infor- nation of the progress, hopes and fu- ture plans of the company.
 In part the letter reads:
 After considerable negotiations with the factory, type of ship has been recommended by the Aeronautic de- partment for the initial Alaskan ser vice. that costs but little more, yet is superior in every way to the small ship the company first planned upon. This ship is standard, number of them have been made, and there is capacity for 12 passengers and some additional cargo.
 The company has surmounted most of the difficulties, and have yet to arrange mooring No. 1. AS in the old days, 25 years ago when the farmers would not come into a town to trade unless the merchants provided hitch ing posts for them to tie their teams to, so in this day and age we are ob- liged to provide mooring mast before the ship can come in. One mast alone in central Alaska will answer for a time, as the ship can make all parts of Alaska from one central point, be it Seward, Anchorage, or Valdez.
 An inspection trip is to be made immediately for the purpose of locat- ing a halfway mast site, for mast and fuel station, for Alaska to states ser vice. This mast will probably be To- cated at Sitka or Ketchikan or near one of those places. Every indication is that we will not be delayed any in

announced today that representatives
of the coal mine owners and the coal
committee of the cabinet will meet
on Monday afternoon to discuss the
call Of a conference of owners and
workers. This is the only item Of
progress noted today toward set
Element of the coal strike. The week
end holiday was observed as usual
by nearly all officials and leaders of
the business and Industrial world.
A decided effort will be made
early in the week to bring together
the opposing interests in the strike
and secure a basis for negotiation
now that the miners have shown
some spirit of compromise.
But although the miners say they
are willing to negotiate the questions
of wages and hours of labor they
insist that any settlement must be
national and include all the mines
on a common basis. To that the
owners object and one of their
spokesman declared today they
wouldn't discuss it in any confer
ence.
The governments intervention
offers the only chance that basis
will be found on which discussion

WOULD ENFORCE ORDER.
Board Stresses Need of Classifying
Steam Engineers.

Regret that the classification of
steam engineers is not being enforced
in the District was expressed by the
District board Of examiners for steam
engineers In its annual report to the
Commissioners.
The board says there is an element
of danger In allowing a third-class
engineer to operate a first class plant.
AN order by the Commissioners
classifying engineers Is in existence,
but has not been enforced in recent
years." the board reported. First
class engineers may operate plants of
any horsepower: second-class. not over
75-horsepOwer: third-claSS. 25-horse-
power or less. The board earnestly
urges that this order be enforced by
the police and that a period of six
months be given for REIMBURSEMENT SO
as not to disturb existing conditions
in other words, that all engineers
have six months to study for the
grades they require to operate plants
in which they are at present en-
ployed.'
