BETTER COAL FIELDS EXIST
 WEST OF MOOSE CREEK AREA

The United States Geological Sur yey. Department of the Interior, announces the completion of a manuscript report by G. A. Waring containing data on the results of core drilling for coal in the Moose Creek area in south-central Alaska. The report when published will contain maps and records of the core drilling. A summary of the re- suits follows:
 Coal Beds Faulted
 The Moose Creek area is in the western part of the Matanuska val ley coal field, about 165 miles by railroad north of the coast at Sew ard. Since the early days of gold prospecting,- in the 1S90's, the pres

ence of coal in the valley has been known. Some attempt to develop it was made as early as 1905, but the earliest commercial production came with the extension of the Alaska Railroad into the area, in 1916, and was made primarily to obtain a supply of fuel for the rail- road. At present there are a few small mines that produce annually a total of about 10000 tons of coal most of which is purchased by the railroad. All these mines are ham pered somewhat in their develop ment by the faulted condition of the coal beds, and their product is lowered in quality by an excessive proportion of fine coal. Although this coal is of good bituminous grade and is entirely suitable for local use, it has not yet been suc- cessfully shipped to distant markets and sold in competition with other coals,

 take into account. as the peo-
 pie of this region doubtless
 will reflect their views in any
 future elections.
 That attitude is utterly defens- ible. It is unfair to the Pioneers Home Building Commission of which W. A. Hesse, Territorial Highway Engineer is Chairman. and which includes Frank A. Boyle, who is Secretary, Anthony E. karnes, Commissioner of Education, Judge James $. Truitt, Attorney General, and Walstein G. Smith. Treasurer, as members. These men are charged with investigating the proposed sites, determining what location is best for the Territory and for those to whom the Home IS a refuge in oid age. Their judg- ment ought to be, and the Empire is absolutely certain it will be, based wholly upon material tac- tors of construction. maintenance and operation, convenience of loca- ton, desirability to those who reside in. it and upon no other mat lers.
 1t is wholly unfair and unjust, aud qulIe without precedent for anchorage. or any committee repre- sentIng the people of Anchorage, to threaten these officials with po- lIIical retribution if they do not pick Anchorage as the site. Yet that is just what the Times has plainly declared will be done. Its language cannot be construed other than If you do not build the new institution in Anchorage. the next tune you come up for election, we will vote for candidates opposing you That is the threat, quite open, brazenly bold.
 No matter if Anchorage is not the most suitable place. No odds if construction, maintenance and operation are shown to be impos- sibly high by the Commissions in vestigation. No difference even though all Alaska, except Anchor age, should agree that some other site is preferable. Just the bald mo- tice that if Anchorage doesn't get the new plant, when next election time rolls around for the members of the Commission the voters of that fair little city and vicinity will turn tkumbs down on men whose only sin will be that they honestly performed a duty imposed on them by the elected representatives of all the people.
 Of course, the CommissIUn is uvt going to be influenced in any way by the Anchorage ultimatum. As honorable men, the Commissioners will go ahead with their studies and when all the data is assembled make their final selection. If the data favors Anchorage, it will be picked. If it doesn't Anchorage won't be. The silly threat will have no weight either way. It's only eff feet will be to weaken the strength of the Anchorage cause among AL askans generally whose spirit of fair play will cause them to resent this sort of pressure.

Better Coal Area

The geologic structure exposed along Moose Creek indicates that to the west, beneath lands covered by thick deposits of gravel, the coal beds are flatlying and presum- ably undefaulted. In this area the coals, if present, are probably less crushed and might be mined more economically, yielding product that could be successfully sold in competition with other coals in the markets of the Pacific Coast.
 In connection with geologic in- vestigations undertaken for the AL aska railroad to stimulate mining development and thereby increase the revenue to the railroad, the most promising part of the area was core-drilled in 1892, total of 370O feet being drilled at five sites. This drilling demonstrated that although the coal-bearing formation extends for some distance westward from Moose Creek, it becomes thinner in that direction and the fact that no coal seams of workable thickness were encountered in the five local ities tested shows that the coal beds are not continuous. A few thin seams were penetrated, of practical ly the same rank of coal as that of the developed mines, and there ap- pears to be no hope of finding coals of higher rank in the area.
 Drilling Not Justified
 It is not unlikely that somewhere in the area west of the producing parts of this field there are work able coal seams at no great depth, but their discovery would require systematic drilling over a consid- erable area, and the expense Of finding coal of good shipping qual- ity that could compete successfully in distant markets would be so great that there is no economic jus tification for such prospecting un- less the markets demand more coal than can be supplied from the known deposits in the Moose Creek area.

KLN.S.).-The film capital was
abuzz today over a fight that
wasn't on the regular schedule
at the Hollywood American
Legion Stadium arena last
night.
The principals were Walter
Winchell, New York newspaper
columnist, and AL Jolson, actor

Jolson won by one punch-the
only blow struck.
Bystanders separated the pair
before the battle could progress.
Witnesses said that Jolson and
his wife, Ruby Keeler, film &C

row on an aisle when Mr.. and
Mrs. Winchell passed close to
them on their way to ringside
seats.
Jolson arose and punched
Winchell.
The latter declared the fight
occurred because he had written
a motion picture story to which
Jolson had taken offense.

fair, Winchell said that he had
written a story "about an actor,
a chorus girl, and a Broadwayite
who isn't a sissy.

Aim of DRUG

In keeping with President

hour work-week soon.
This action loomed as a GER
tainty today despite reticence OF
officials of the company. At the
main offices of the corporation,
executives refused to comment on
the subject other than to say that
some sort of plan is being worked
out in New York where M. c.

Managers of all Washington
stores of the company were called
in conference yesterday and noti-
fication of the 40-hour week was
made. So far it is not revealed
whether the new policy will be-
come effective August l or Sep
tember /.
There are 81 stores of the chain
here. It was estimated that
1000 employees here alone would
be affected. It was said, how
ever, that only those receiving a
weekly wage of less than $35 a
week would benefit by the shorter
week. Hundreds of extra en-
pToyes will have to be hired.

INDUSTRY
Johnson Opposes CompuIsion,
Relies on Public Opinion to
Force Wages Up
By International News Service


Licensing of industries to en-
force higher wages or shorter
hours, leading to a spread OF
employment, will be employed
only as a last resort, Hugh S.
johnson, national recovery ad-
ministrator, said today.
There is no compulsion what
ever, beyond pressure OF public
opinion, behind the drive under
way now for nationwide agree
ments with the President on these
questions. These agreements are
in addition to the regular codes
now being drafted by major groups
as rapidly as conditions permit.
Local Drives Organized
Over the weekend, with Presi-
dent Roosevelt on his weekly trip
down the Potomac, johnson is ex-
pected to push the nationwide or
ganization of State executives,
chambers of commerce, civic and
patriotic organizations which will
be relied on for local effort in the
forthcoming drive.
AS soon as the regular codes
are approved to cover a particu-
lar employment field the "blan-
ket" agreements now being urged
will be superseded. Meantime,
while Johnson has licensing au-
thority as a weapon to force &C
ton in these regular code pro-
ceedings, he is reluctant to use
such action.
Speedy Action Sought
His organization today was
being perfected for high-Speed
operations throughout the coun-
try, designed to arouse public
opinion. No boycott of firms
hanging back will be asked, he
said, but popular support of those
firms and employers which COM
ply with the Presidents plan will
be encouraged by every resource
of a high-geared wartime propa-
ganda drive.
An avalanche of congratulatory
kilograms, phone calls and per-
sonaI communications, all promiS-
ing support of the Presidents ef-

and shorter working hours, con
tinued today to pour in at the re-
