 Territory

Frank c. Barnes was elected mayor of Wrangell this week MT. Hanford whom the city has to thank for it's diesel power plant and it's condition, was de- feated for reelection. Art Sor- sett was reelected. George Sumption was a new member.
 The election at Juneau were not too hot-Mayor Thomas E. Judson was elected by a vote of two to one over Alfred Dishaw.
 F. R. Mitsch and P. J. Gilmore ran a close race in Ketchikan Mitsch getting in by the skin of his teeth. A case where the de- feat may be attributed to the neglect of old friends to cast their ballot-every vote being important.
 D. Carlos Brownell was re- elected mayor of Seward by a ten vote margin over MT. Or lander.
 Cordova knows a good thing when it has it: It returned Will H. Chase as mayor for the five consecutive year. MT. Chase is also candidate before the Repub- Lcan primaries for office as de- legate to the national conven- tion-with E. s. Hungerford as his running mate
 J. F. Bryant was elected may or of Fairbanks by the largest vote in years.

 There was considerable dis cuSsion relative to setting aside part of the surplus balance ca i hand: whether to make a sink ing fund or to use it for the i'm mediate retirement of an equal amount of bonds. Some of the committee favored holding thl i funds for an emergency, or ir event conditions demanded Il next winter, it could be uset for city construction or projects and thereby employ labor whicf would be in need of any assists ance.

Two resolutions were adopted by the grand igloo of the Pio- neers of Alaska.

High Mark h
 Battle of Ballots

There was more interest de- monstrated in the local elections Tuesday than ,since the town was first incorporated. There were 4O5 registered voters-with many more desiring to cast their ballots but unable to do so for having failed to register as re- quired by city ordinance. There were 379 votes cast altogether 229 for Edward Locken for may or and 149 for Earl Dinner.
 The returns reported by the judges are as follows:- Locker, 229, Dinner, 149, Enge, R., 14S Gaufin, PAT, Hanseth, 211, Olsen, 192, Swanson, L. T.,134, Wikan, 14O; School Board, Isom II.
 Sam Gaufin was high man with PAT; Jacob Hanseth, Jonas Olsen were reelected to serve another term.
 Trygve Strom received ten votes for School Board as a gainst II for Jack Isom.
 As a comparison it is shown that in 1880 the following votes elected mayor and councilmen, MT. Dinner, for mayor, 75; for councilmen, Gaufin, 73, Han seth, 75, Olsen, 67. In 1881, for mayor, Dinner, 88; councilmen: R. M. Allen, 88, Chas Greenaa, 94 and A. B. Holt, 82.
 There were 39 absentee ballots cast with two rejected as being incomplete.
 Many of the voters took notice of the new voting booths installed by Street Commissioner Nelson. And though the booths were we'll used, they will still give plenty of service.
 Julius Tollefson was the first citizen to do his duty. By closing time virtually all those who had registered had cast their ballots. A number who had not register ed as required by ordinance came to vote and had to De turned away. There is but little doubt that the town could place 500 qualified ballots in the bal r. lot box. Which is speaking well for the interest in the duties of citizenship in Petersburg.

The tremendous growth of the economic power
of the proletariat is obvious, a growth which
rests upon the success of colectivization, the
liquidation of kulakdom as a class, and the
extension of the social and the dislodgement of
private economy The realization of the great
building program will facilitate the final con-
soldation Of the victory Of the proletariat
Investments in the national economy for 1882
are estimated at oil milliard roubles, as against
16.O46 milliards in 1881. Of this sum. 1O.7 mil
lizards will be invested in industry, 436 milliards
in agriculture, 3.3 milliards in transport and
almost 3 nilliards in housing and communal
construction. The Piatiletka will, as result of
this, be over-fufilled both according to the total
volume of investments (54 mil1ard roubles in
stead Of AZ according to plan) by 16 per cent
as well as particularly in regard to industry
(26.4 millards instead of 1876 according to plan)
which vii lalmost be double, and in agriculture
by 156 per cent
1t is impossible to under-rate the significance
of these figures. They show that the u S. S. r.
is successfully solving the problem of Socialist
construction. Seven milliard roubles have been
invested for the past three years in industry
alone, while in Czarist Russia the investments
in industry amounted only to "A milliards during
the whole time Of the rule of the bourgeois
classes
The technical revolution in the land OF the
Soviets has become a fact, since the new con-
struction is based on the last word Of the
achievements of world techniue and science. The
gigantic metallurgical, machine building, cleo
tricity, coal and chemical works, the like of
which are not to be found either in Europe or
America are entering into operations already in
1882 In other words, the prerequisites for the
development of the productive forces above the
level of the advanced countries of capitalism,
have been created and the solution of this prob
lem is now not far distant. The creative work
on an unparalleled scale is telling also in the
estimates for industrial production.
The gross production in industry in the cur
rent year will amount to BIS milliard roubles,
having grown since last year by SO per cent.
In regard to the production Of the means of pro-
duction, the growth will attain "A per cent
giving almost double production in metal and
coal and growth Of Ia times in machine build

THE STRIKE of $4,000 coal miners in Ohio
and West Virginia is approaching its critical
stage. The next few days will probably deter
mine whether the official U. M w A. leadership,
Cirque, Hall, Pacifco ETC., will succeed in man
euvering a uniform wage scale" with the Ohio
operators and driving the men back to work at
a uniform wage cut, or whether the strike will
remain solid, for actual demands for no wage
cuts, for checkweighman at the tipppe, for
recognition of rank and file committees at the
mines elected by all the miners. At GAINESVILLE
the secret conference of fifty U. M. w. repre-
Sentatves is still in session. 1t is the third day
OF that conference; no word has come out of it,
Under the leadership of President Lee Hall of
District and John Cirque, president of the
East Ohio subdistrict, wage scale is being
doped out for submission to the coal operators
association No word has been given out Of
what the United Mine Workers will demand Of
the operators. Why this secrecy?
From the start of the strike the official
demands of the United Mine Workers officials
have been recognition of the union (Which means
the check-ofO and a uniform wage scale" The
miners are demanding what wage scale? In
answer to this question: which is becoming
threatening, the officials have put out "unofi-
cial reports that they striking for the 1917

a six-hour shift. The miners are waiting to see
which is correct-the official demands or the
unofficial. They are waiting to see if the secret
fifty at GAINESVILLE betray them. if the uniform
wage scale means uniform wage cut!
Mass picketing, mass demonstrations, fight
ing spirit, have made this strike 95 per cent
effective. But a betrayal at GAINESVILLE is i'm
minent On the present crisis of the strike
Tony Minerich, National Miners organizer,
gave out the following statement today, adj
dressed to all miners:
1.-THE United Mine Workers officials have been
telling the miners that they need a union.
There's no doubt about that Therefore, "join
the United Mine Workers" I'VE admit" they
say that the U. M. w. of A. has some lousy
officials. All right join union, win the strike
and then throw out the officials This is
repeated in mass meetings at Powhatan, at
Cambridge, in Amsterdam at Louise-eYery-
