Martin Says All Alaska Shipping May Be Re-
 stored Soon

No relaxation of the strike or- ders against commercial shipping to Alaska was in sight late to- day, although Gov. Clarence D. Martin, of Washington, late yester- day wired Gov. John w. Troy that prospects were favorable for res- toration of Alaska shipping"
 Development of the last "A hours incnided:
 1.-Release of several cannery ships in Puget Sound ports.
 2.-Senator Dill advises Seattle interests President will not inter- vene.

 4.--,San Francisco unions report that strikers will not agree to any settlement that does not embrace entire coast.
 5.--Fairbanks wires Gov. Troy that food supplies there are suffi- cient for only few days and that mining men must close down then.
 Cannery Ships Loading
 Associated Press dispatches to The Empire today said that at least five vessels, and probably oth- CTS, have been released from the strike orders and are loading supp plies. Mentioned by name are: the Otsego, owned by Libby, McNeill & Libby; Katherine D., North King and Mary D., owned by the Pacific American Fisheries, and the Mazama, ownership not known here. In addition Gilbert Skinner, President of the Alaska Pacific Salmon Corporation, announced the charter of the North Haven, for merly the Berry L. Smith, to take a crew and supplies to Squaw Har- bor.
 The North King has sailed for Portland and is due to depart from there Thursday with a cargo and 500 workers. The Mary D., carry ing no passengers, will sail short- ly from Bellingham with supplies. No sailing date was announced for the Catherine D.
 Dill Wires Seattle
 The Associated Press reported that Senator c. O. Din had wired from Washington to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce that Presi- dent Roosevelt does not feel he can intervene in the strike. He prefers to leave the matter in the hands of the Mediation Board meeting in San Francisco.
 J. P. Ryan, President of the In- ternational Longshoremen's Asso- citation, is in Seattle to attend a meeting of the Northwest Long, shoremen's Strike Committee, said he believed the union would agree to a proposal for Government su- pervision of the hiring halls that might release Alaska shipping.
 The San Francisco district lead- CTS. however, countered the sug- gestion that the strike might be broken by release of all shipping from the Columbia River to Can- ada by regional or individual agreements with the statement that the strikers would agree to no settlement that did not embrace the whole coast.
 Faced by these conflicting re- ports, Gov. Troy today was await ing definite word from his appeals to Washington, and preparing to make further appeals unless imme- diate relief is had.
 He had before him today a tele- gram from Fairbanks declaring the situation in the interior is acute" The message declared: This camp is in a serious predicament. It is but a few days from short age of meats and other necessary provisions.
 If no relief is provided inme- diately. a cessation of mining and other industry is inevitable. Many workers will be unable to obtain sufficient money for the winter by reason of the curtailment of em- ployment. The situation is already acute.'
