 The Republican candidate would raise the tax on them in order to satisfy his soctous regard for the poor fsheen forgetfu of the fact that if the tax copper be raised 1t must be raised the production of all other metals
 GIigsby takes the stand that this would be unwise @n. snce millions have just been spent in Alas ka to try and harvest gold and if these oper atos not taxed at a it will take them ten years to get back their original investment In other words any arf tax on mnno would strangle the revival of the 9nning industry in Alaska just a'boming.

DESPITE THREAT
Companies Failing to
Resume Service

ROSARIO, Argentina, Sept. 16. -
AS the strikers here still refuse to
go back to work after months Of re-
sistance that tied up the second
largest port in Argentina, the strike
threatens to assume general proper
lions by spreading to Buenos Ayres,
the capital and largest port in Ar
gentina.
In spite of the orders of the mu-
nicipal authorities that the compa-
MES resume telephone and street.
car operation, the firms have thus
far failed in maintaining service by
the use of strikebreakers, due to the
effective resistance of the pickets.
The city workers are also threat
ening to join the strike on a demand
for higher wages, in spite of the an
nouncement of the Municipal govern
ment that they will be Immediately
fired and replaced by strikebreakers
if they continue in their demands.
The port of Rosario is still tied
up and thousands of tons of grain
await shipment. The street car
strike was originally called when the
company refused to re-hire Com
munist and anarchist workers whom
it had discharged.
