PLANS MADE
To REBUILD
BURNED CITY
Weather Problem Makes Early
Move To Provide For Home
less Residents Imperative.

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 20. U.P)-
While sourdoughs made homeless
in the $3,0OO,OOO fire which leveled
two thirds of Nome were panning
for gold dust in the fire blackened
ruins today. civic committees made
plans to rebuild as much as posi-
BILE of the city before the intense
Arctic winter winter sets in.
The new gold rush, lacking the
excitement of the days of 1898
started with the discovery OF few
ounces in the ruins of the old bank
building. Soon many of the 400
persons who lost their belongings
in Mondays fire were poking
around in the sands, covering the
same area from which the pioneers
had extracted many fortunes.
With sub-zerc temperatures due
within two weeks, the problem of
providing adequate shelter for the
homeless became the most press
ing relief problem. They slept last
night on makeshift beds on the
floors of private homes and ware
houses and in sleeping bags under
hastily constructed tents. They
were fed at a community kitchen,
supplied by the government and
the Harmon Mining company.
Several business places opened in
temporary quarters. The North
Pole bakery and Cavey's Coffee
house reopened in private homes
There was no shortage of any
thing except building material
and tobacco, authorities announc-
ed after a survey.
DR.. Max Schwartz. mayor and
cnly physician. reported that there
is an ample supply of drugs to
guard against any epidemic. The
drugs were in the hospital which
escaped the fire.
Authorities said no lives had been
lost nor had any one been injured
seriously. Many persons suffered
painful minor burns.
One of the first tasks of the re-
builders will be the replacement of
Nome's wooden streets, the crooked
twisting thoroughfares which Rex
Beach, Tex Rickard and other
heroes of 1898 knew so we'll.
Strengthening of the streets and es-
tablishment of fire zones are ex-
pected to eliminate the fire hazard
which in 1905 and again Monday
destroyed most of Nome.

MAY SUPPORT
EPIC bACKER

PASADENA, Calf, Sept. 10. W.P)
Organized labor's support of the
gubernatorial candidacy of Upton
Sinclair was foreseen today as sup
porters, defying tradition, prepared
to introduce a resolution, calling on
the California State Federation of
Labor convention to endorse the
Democratic nominee. !.
A strong fight was predicted but
members of the resolutions commit
tee indicated a belief that the en-
dorsement would be voted
The federation usually shies clear
of politics but the unusual interest
in the gubernatorial contest forced
the intrusion this year, labor lead
ers explained.
Sinclair himself requested fedora
ton support in Commute appear
ance before the convention Monday.
He asked delegates to support his
EPIC program and in exchange he
pledged inclusion of a labor plank
in the Democratic platform. The
nominee was loudly cheered as he
left the rostrum.
1t also was believed that the fed
Grafton would be asked to condemn
the NRA and, possibly, demand the
removal oI NRA Administrator

attack on the act was unloosed yes
terday by Anne Peterson, secretary
of the Los Angeles Garment Work
ers' Union, and Hugo Ernst of San
Francisco, international officer of
the Cafe and Restaurant Workers
union.
Miss Peterson charged that under
the NRA, "all contracts made be-
tween employers and workers in the
garment industry have been in non
