Plan to Conscript Industry in War

The War Department is pre- pairing plans for submission to Congress of a bill to mobilize industry in wartime on the same basis that manpower is con- scripted.
 Such a scheme was tried out a short time back but when 1t was anylized it was found to be a real joker so it was defeat led.
 Secretary Good speaking of tlse measure says it will be one of the first to receive consider ation at the next regular ses- sion beginning in December. He has already sent a bill to Con- gress authorizing the President to conscript man-power for inn mediate military service upon declaration of war.
 The departments plans for emergency industrial mobiliza- tion are laid along the follow ing lines:
 Financing of contractors to whom war contracts are allot- ted.
 Prevention Of profiteering and stabilization of prices dur ing war time. Provision of machinery for set clement of wartime industrial disputes.
 Maintenance of a constant flow of raw materials and or ganization of all transporta- tion systems.

Foshay's Man At Meeting Makes
 Overtures to City

MT. Van Orsdel, represent ing the Foshay interests of Minneapolis met with the City Council on Tuesday evening to make proposal of purchas of the water system, hydro-el trio plant owned by the city and the cold storage and telephone system, bot1s privately owned. He stated that he was ready to discuss matters of franchise and price of utilities. Price of which will be governed in a large measure by franchise to be granted. That is, high cap ital investment will mean high water and light rates; and a lower capital investment will mean lower basic rates for wat 1T and light.
 He declared that the com pany gave Ketchikan full val ue for the utilities of that city when they paid two million dol -ars for the water, light and cover company properties in ;luding real estate, cold storage md Northland Steamship Com pany,
 The company will have ready for trade covering Juneau, Pe- tersburg, Wrangell, Ketchikan and Seattle, a sixteen knot yes sel this fall which will cater on- ly to Alaskans and Alaska trade. As the business expands they will extend the run to other towns.
 While they are in the market for cold storages it is with the idea of catering to buyers and not with the view to entering the markets themselves as buy CTS. He was of the opinion that the buyers were working togeth- CT too nicely and that more buyers are needed to give rise to more competitive buying.

.rangell Ice &
 Storage Plant
 Is Attached

U. s. Deputy Marshal H. D
 Campbell of Wrangell, last
 week served an attachment or
 che property of the Wrangel
 fee and Storage Company. The plaintiff in the action is Mrs
 Mary D. Leet of Conneaut, Ohio
 Mrs. Leet, who is the mother ot Q. D. Leet of Wrangell, is cred ltor of the company and is en- deavoring to recover money ad- vanced to the company. Mrs. |Leet claims that the amount she has loaned the company, to- gether with interest, amounts to sum in the neighborhood of $15,000. H. L. Faulkner of Ju- neau is her attorney.
 The stockholders and others went to Juneau last week to at- tend the case among whom was Cope Mundy, local fish buyer.
 Stockholders of the company have been informed from time totime that the company was not making any money, though it began operations before the local plant did and had virtually all the local trade in ice, bait and market-that is Of the small CT boats of the fleet. When any stockholder asked for an ac- counting, the books were back in Ohio and when MT, Nick Nussbaumer went back to Ohio and asked for the books, he was informed that they were in 
 Ugly rumors of mismanage- ment and other things have been banded back and forth by stockholders. Through all of which the management seemed indifferent until the stOckhOld- ITS went into court to get an accounting. Then came the ac- tion to collect money loaned the company.
 Petersburg evidently was not unfortunate in it's indifference to the proposition made by the Leets to build a storage here. At least the local plant is doing very we'll without any manage ment from Ohio in that the To- cal plant is paying dividends and retiring some of it's bonds while the Wrangell plant is now worse off than before.

Memorial Day Pro-
 gram Given

 1. America
 p. Invocation.
 B. Battle Hymn of the Republic
 Community Lutheran Chorus 4.Vocal Solo, Just Before the
 Battle Mother" Mrs. Andrew
 Johnson.
 ,. Selection by Orchestra. 7. Columbia, The Gem of the
 Ocean" Lutheran Chorus, 3. Address by Mayor Earl N
 Dinner.
 The program was just long enough to remind Americans of t1Aeir duty to those who paid the supreme sacrifice to secure the principles of democracy, to pre- serve the Union, to expand the territory and to guaranty the right of American citizens to travel upon the high seas.
 The Chorus sang very we'll which, was sung by Mrs. An considering many of the regular voices were not present and none of the men on the stage. Just Before the Battle Mother" drew Johnson, took older citi- zens back to their younger days and was sung in a pleasing manner. Miss Lillian Swanson's interpretation of Buddy" was done in a charming manner and was we'll received.
 Mayor Earl Dinner was intro Iduced by MT. William Holt. Mir. Dinner spoke of Memorial Day as a memory day" Which we hold sacred to the memory of those who paid the supreme sa- crifice from the Revolutionary Period down to the present day.
 He told the story of the founda- tiOn of the day in southern states by women of the Confed- acy and it has since become na- tional save for certain states which observed another day. Memorial Day is day which should remind us of our duties as citizens. We have done little for our country in comparison with those who paid the su- preme sacrifice to preserve na- tional entity and to preserve lpeace as We have 1t now. We shoud honor the noble dead and Iplace a wreath upon their last resting place and continue to uphold those great principles for which they died,
