COMPANY GUNNER
SHOOT DOWN GOLD
MINERS In ALASKA

Juneau, Alaska (FP) Near
ly a hundred members of the Alas
ka Mine Workers union were shot
down while picketing the Alaska
Juneau Gold Mine June "a by COM
pany guards and special deputies.
The mine, said to be the worlds
second largest gold mine, has been
closed because of a strike for over
four weeks.
Instead of holding the gunner
the authorities jailed 43 union min
ers and % are now held on char
ges of rioting and melting to riot.
Picketing continues. The attempt
to reopen the mine has been aoan-
doned.
Gov. John w. Troy of Alaska
wired Pres. Roosevelt June 25 for
federal troops from Chilkoot Bar
racks.
All lawyers in Juneau have been
terrorized and none will take the
miners case. The union expects to
get legal assistance from Seattle
by an appeal it has sent to the init.
Labor Defense office there. Among
those held are certain union offic-
ials who were nowhere near the
scene of the clash when the miners
were shot down.
Soon after the middle of June
the comptny held an election on
going back to work and claimed
1912 votes we're cast, the majority
in favor of returning. The union
side of the voting is that 600 union
pickets were on the job around the
polling place all day and the pick
cts counted just 81 who went to
vote. These 81 were strawbosses
and white collars. The mine en-
ployed 685 when struck.
This is the first important strike
in Alaska in several years, unless
the disappointment and return to
the states Of the Matanuska Valley
farm pioneers is considered a srike |
They were lured from Minnesota
Wisconsin, northern Michigan and
Dakota busted farms to make new
homes in the supposed Alaska val
ley paradise by Roosevelt admin
stration agents. An Investigation

Homemakers Council
Met Last Saturday

Representatives from eleven
groups of Homemakers gathered
in the courtroom at Plentywood
on Saturday, July 13 and planned
a program for the year. Miss Blan-
che L. Lee, State Home Demon
stratiOn Leader conducted the dis
cussion.
A program was agreed upon by
the representatives as follows:
1. When we buy yard material
silk, rayon, wool, cotton and linen.
2. Choosing and altering pat
terms.
8. How to make dresses fit.
4. How to avoid the homemade
look.
Miss Lee thought that it might
be possible to present a program
on canning and food preserving
sometime this summer but no de-
finite promise could be made of
this.
An election of officers for the
county council was held and Mrs.
Collins of Raymond was selected
as chairman with Mrs. Clifford OF
Plentywood as Secretary.
The various clubs are looking
forward to a successful year and
at later date will make more de-
finite plans for a program for each
club. One of the valuable activities
carried on by many clubs carrying
the clothing program is a dress
or style revue to exhibit the work
of the various clubs at the end of
the year. 1t is hoped that such an
Achievement day may be held in
this county.
