 PRINCE ROBERT
Attorney Faulkner Discuss es Local Longshore
 Situation

Unloaded once here, then taken back aboard the steamer Prince Robert and carried to Skagway, seven small packages of freight destined for the Sharpstone min ing camp on Taku River finally were unloaded at the City Dock on the southbound trip of that steam CT. The freight was delivered to ships sling by men aboard the Robert, then was handled under the direction of H. L. Faulkner, prominent attorney and represen- tative here of the Sharpstone in- terests.
 Local members of the Interna- tional Longshoremen's Association refused to handle the freight and had ordered it taken aboard the first time because they said it had been worked in Vancouver, B. C., by non-union labor.
 After the unloac.ng had been completed Saturday, Attorn e Faulkner discussed the situation as follows:
 MT. Sharpstone is opening up for development group of min- ing claims oh the Tulsequah River, branch of the Taku River. These claims are in British Columbia, but the Taztis Mining District, in which they are situated. is naturally tribu tary to Juneau, and all freight shipments to that district pass through Juneau, although origin ating in Canada.

substantial payments on the pur- chase price. The payments are made at Juneau bank Most of the owners of the claims are Juneau men. The wages paid to men employed at the property are practically all spent in Juneau. However, on account of the tariff, supplies must be bought in Can ada.
 "A shipment of very necessary supplies, for immediate require ments, was sent north from Van couver on the Prince Robert The ship discharged the freight at the City Dock. The local longshoremen gave orders that the freight be reloaded on the ship, and threat ened that if it were permitted to be landed. they would tie up the cargo of American ships bringing supplies to the merchants and peo- pie of Juneau. The reason given for this strange and unusual proceed ure was that a strike had recently taken place by the longsheremen in Vancouver, which had been lost; and, because Vancouver shippers were employing non-union men, the union men of Juneau would not permit any shipments of freight through this port from one point in Canada to another.
 Although the freight was ship ped in bond, and any interference with it's progress was direct vio- lation of a United States statute, it was reloaded on the ship and taken to Skagway.
 Neither MT. Sharpstone nor I had any knowledge of what had happened until the next day. When the Prince Robert returned here Saturday morning enroute south, I was obliged to employ truck and take personal delivery of the freight.
 There was no question of wages involved, no question of hours, nor of working conditions, and nothing so far as anyone can see which affects the local longshoremen; but

WASHINGTON, Aug. G. Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, with her summer activities almost entirely off the record" has reduced her travelling wardrobe to a comforts able minimum.
 She explains that she carries only two bags even for long train trip. One bag holds everything she will need for the ordinary demands ot travelling. The other holds such dresses as are necessary for stops along the way.
 She has found that certain ma terials make the best travelling companions. They are lace for eve ming, very finely tucked chiffons for afternoon, and certain types of crepe usually in all-over prints for day wear.
 All her travelling frocks are chos- en from some neutral shade so that one or two sets of accessories will serve for all outfits. Her plan sim plifies packing so much that she usually takes just one hat, one not too festive for tailored clothes, and yet appropriate for afternoon dress es."
 AS for the provoking matter of packing shoes, she passed the sub ject with a laugh, and said, aren't shoes a nuisance?"
 But while Mrs. Roosevelt is com muting quietly, and almost un- noticed between the White House and Hyde Park, many other women in the official set have settled down for the en-orced summer season here and the meticulous attention to appearance which summc weather makes necessary.
 Mrs. Joseph w. Byrns, wife of the Speaker always is a cool looking figure at dinner which she and her husband eat together in the dining room of popular hotel.

those men say in effect, to MT.
 Sharpstone's principals back in Minnesota, Because the longshore- men in Vancouver went on strike, which they did not win, we want you to close your mine on the Taku River, to cease employing any more men there, and to cease mak- ing any more payments in Juneau on the purchase price of the prop erty They then say, in effect, to the people of Juneau, Unless this mine on the Taku River is closed, we will not permit any shipments of freight to be unloaded for the merchants and people of Juneau
 Tt cannot be denied that work done by longshoremen is not very remunerative. From the very na- ture of the work men engaged in it cannot earn high wages. Men engaged in that work are certainly entitled to all the pay the traffic will bear, and when controversy arose last fall over wages and the longshoremen demanded higher pay, there was not very much op- position and they received the in- crease demanded However, when they threaten to tie up the devel- opment of this section of the coun- try on such flimsy pretext as was used in the case of the shipment of freight to MT. Sharpstone, that is another matter. Suppose MT. Sharp stone and his principals had com piled with the demand off the long shoremen and shut down work at the mining property and returned the freight to Vancouver. Can anyl sane person think that would have i any effect on the Vancouver strike. which now seems to be a matter of history?
 This IS essentially mining country, and our prosperity depends primarily upon mining. Strenuous efforts are put forth by Chambers of Go nm cree, and Government agencies and bureaus and others, toS advertise the mining resources and to attract capital necessary for their development. This summer large sums of money are being ex- pended in exploration and devel- opraent work in the vicinity of Juneau. Most of this has been done without any advertising or public ny, but events which have occurred Tn Juneau during the past three 1 or four weeks will go a long wayl toward offsetting and cancelling ali efforts that have been made tol attract capital for the developmentl of mining property. There are hundreds of men in the vicinity or Juneau who are unemployed and development of the mining indus try IS about the only hope of i permanent employment in sight. | It would appear as though the local longshoremen had determined to destroy that hope"
