COAL INDUSTRY MAY BE DIVIDED
 CODE PURPOSES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 13,- The bituminous coal industry may have to be split up into number of divisions before that industry can be brought under the wings of the N R A Blue Eagle. This was the suggestion made at yesterdays hearing of the troublesome coal code.
 The conflict between labor and coal operators is so strong that a dividing up of the industry into sections was seen as the best pos sible way of achieving an early adoption of the code. The object ions to the code by the operators vary according to areas and when the division is made when these certain reasonable objections can be taken care of more advantage ously.
 Administrator Hugh s. Johnson said it was not the desire of the government to impose the code upon the coal industry.

CUBA EXPECTS
 COUP DEFEAT
 BY OFFICERS

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 13, Fears that the former officers of the Cub an Army, who are at odds with the present revolutionary government, might seek political support and attempt to overthrow Dr. Grau San Martin from his presidential pos ition were expressed here.
 The Cuban commanders have re- fused to recognize the San Martin regime and failed to take cogni- zance of the ultimatum that they return immediately to their army posts or be classed as deserters.
 The officers are making their headquarters at the Rationale Ho- tel. The hotel continues to be sur rounded by enlisted men, who help ed put San Martin at the helm of Cuba, and they are keeping a vigi- lant eye on proceedings.
 Vehicles and persons going to the Hotel Rationale are carefully searched for rifles and machine guns but otherwise no action has been taken against the rebellious officers.

 WET COLUMN

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 13. A complete rout of the drys was in- clicated from the election returns in three states yesterday. Early calculations showed that the voters of Maryland, Colorado and Minne- sota cast clear majoritieS in fav- or of repeal
 Baltimore cast 130,000 votes with repeal margin of eleven to l. Other large cities showed almost equal wet strength.

Six precincts where the dryS were considered as being the strongest gave 1919 votes for re- peal and only 442 against.
 A major part of the returns in Colorado were in and a lead of at least two to one for the repealiStS was assured. Early counts, which did not include near complete rural vote, gave repeal three to one margin.
 Minnesota was as dripping wet as Colorado and Maryland Com olete returns for I'll precincts out of 3,7O0 gave 35940 for repeal and 3,430 against.
 Twenty states are now in :,he wet column and an uninter- 'upted wet vote by seven other states. who will vote by the even ing of November ', will mean that the necessary 36 ratifying states nave acted.

QUANDARY OVER EXPORT OFGOLD
 STILL EXISTS
(By Bob Bartlett)

Alaska Delegates office has been swamped with questions from. AL laska about the new Treasury re- gulations regarding the exporta- tion of gold.
 A couple of weeks ago the Trea- Sury announced that unsmelted ore, concentrates, precipitates and unretorted amalgams might be ex- ported
 It had been stated by Delegate DimOnd that no definitions of those ! terms had been made, and it was very difficult to tell just how far the new ruling goes. That state ment still holds good. No exact information is obtain able from the Treasury. It has been hinted here that the courts may possibly be called upon to es- tablish definitions
 It may be said that several of the larger mining companies have asked the Treasury to make the situation clearer. Those companies, with representatives in direct con- tact with Washington officialdom, are apparently in the dark no less than the isolated Alaska miner. If definitions commonly employ ed in the mining industry were used, it would seem that about the only gold not eXportable would be that obtained from smelting pro- cess. However, the uestion is whether such definitions are to be made.
 It was learned here that the Canadian cabinet can be expected to issue an order allowing impor- tatlon of gold ores, etc, mined in the United States, which means American miners will be able to obtain the going world price for their products. Of course if that ruling is made American produc- CTS can ship ore to Canada for smelling. That would seem to be discriminatory against the Ameri- can smelters and subject to cor rection.
 As the situation now stands. it would appear that a dredge op- orator who puts the mercury, sand and gold through a retorting pro- cess to refine the gold to a more or less pure state could not then export it because it would be a re- torted amalgam.
 But the individual or company operating quartz mine where the ore was free milling could not ship out the concentrates for ex- port without question. That, again would seem to be
 unjust discrimination. In view of that this question was put to a responsible Treasury of ficial on behalf of the Delegate: Would not the word concentrates be applicable to sand quicksilver , and gold, or sand and gold, ob- tained as a result of placer op- eration fully as much as to con- centrateS derived from processing free milling ore?
 The official declined to com init himself officially, but he did say he saw no reason why the above construction should not be good
 If that interpretation is followed,
 then, the placer operator could place himself in the highly fav- orable position of exporter merely by shipping the cleanup as taken from the boxes without separating the gold from the sand or quick silver.
 Because of the present uncer- , tainity, it is advised, if some clar- ification is not made within a short time, that Alaska miners ap- ply to the Collector of Customs for exact rulings. In that event the Treasury Department would pro- bably have to make exact defini- tions, something which it appears 1O9th to GO tonyu Tie ,,raco,,+ ott;

People at the Westward and In terior are happy over the appoint ment by President Roosevelt of John w. Troy, Juneau publisher, to be the next Governor of Alaska, according to J. J. Meherin, who re- turned to Juneau aboard the Alas ka yesterday morning, after a four weeks trip that took him as far north as Fairbanks.
 T was in Fairbanks when news of the appointment came. MT. Me herin said, and everybody to whom I talked seemed to feel that the appointment of MT. Troy portended bright things for Alaska and was the beg ming of the Roosevelt New Deal in the Territory. I found the same feeling existed wherever I stopped on my return to Juneau"
 From a business standpoint, &C., cording to MT. Meherin, who is representative in Alaska for Hills Brothers Coffee, this is the best trip he has made in three years.
 After the bank moratorium ev- erything began to look better" MT. Meherin said. While times have not been bad at the Westward or in the Interior, they have been quiet. Immediately following the moratorium in Cordova, where I was at the time, Cordova received word that two of the canneries there would operate this season. The next day a shrimp cannery- man was wired a contract from San Francisco for 800 pounds of shrimps day People there feel that the country is over t..e hump of the depression and that goc6 times are ahead.
