Terrific Rain
 Storm StartleS
 Local People

Taknina experienced one of the hardest rain storms ever knoUn in this part of the country last evening
 The storm was. purely local being in the nature Of a eloudburst- The rain started suddenly and came down in torrents swelling the small streams and sending theznun1erous- small riy- ulets tearing toward the Iakotna -Riv- CT. The storm lasted only for a lit tie over an hour, but it.was followed throughout the night by normal showers. raising the water .in-1he riv- CT an inch or two, which will be of some benefit to the kickers who's of some benefit to the river men who are bringing freight up the river in small boats equippedwith kickers-
 The storm was at least break in the long, dry spell, and it is hoped it is 2 forerunner of a rainy season. Those mining men who have been going around with long faces for the past week or two, are now smiling once more. With this break in the weather, they see a chance of a successful season ahead.

 The two big strapping Oklahomans have been working for the past three months at Juneau. They left the dry state of Oklahoma for the sunshine of California. On arriving there, all they could hear was "Go to Alaska, young man, go to Alaska" Being footloose, and nothing real urgent on their minds, they let their feet drift farther northward and landed in Ju- neau early last March. The old-timers in Juneau pointed their fingers still westwardt and said, "Go to- the K1sr kolzwim, young man, go to the kus- kokwim"

DECLINE IN AUTO
SALES TO FORCE
GIN HOURS CUT
Company Will Avoid
LayoffS If Possible

FLINT, Mich, Dec. 2 Q.N.S0
With the retail market for new
cars dropping alarmingly in the
present business recession, Gen.
eral Motors Corporation, through
Vice President C. E. Wilson, today
announced it will be forced to cut
production schedules in most of
it's plants.
The production cut, Wilson said
at a meeting here last night, will
be effected through a cut in the
work-week hours to figure below
the standard 40-hour week.
Wilson stressed the fact that
General Motors plans to hold to
it's agreement with the CLOS
United Automobile Workers Union
by cutting hours as low as possible
before resorting to widespread lay
offs.
I'VE will be unable to main
tain a 40-hour work week sched-
ule for the next few months" he
said. There will also be further
layoffs."
Many automobile companies al
ready have been forced to cut pro
duction work to four-day week,
including some GIN plants.
Wilson denied that labor troubles
in the plants will force the further
production cut, but said "labcr
troubles during the past year in
various industries and the public's
loss of confidence is largely re-
Sponsible for the present business
recession"
He pointed out that the business
recession slashed GIN retail sales
after the corporation had spent
millions to expand facilities to
meet the increased demand that
was anticipated throughout the in
dustry for the 1888 model year.
Most of the other automobile COM
panies, too, invested heavily in ex-
panSit - projects.
Wilson said present retail sale
of GIN cars is only two-thirds as
high as the sale of cars to the
public year ago.
"Our dealers on November 20
had $4,000 more new cars in
stock than last year." he said.

Bootleg Coal
Rule by State
Proposed

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 Q.N.S0.
State control of Pennsylvania IS
gigantic bootleg" mining opera
tions was proposed in report by
the Anthracite Coal Industry Com
mission, now ready for the inspec-
ton of Gov. George H. Earle.
On the theory that coal sold
at bootleg prices is what cripples
the legitimate operators" the CON-
mission appointed by Governor
Earle proposes that the State
lease or buy the lands in the three
counties where the bootlegging
goes on and produce and sell the
coal at market prices"
Morris L. Ernst, commission
member who revealed the sub
stance of the report, also asserted
that through cooperative market
ing agencies and the ALLEGATION of
production, we believe that So a
ton can be saved on the price to
the consumer"
Operators turned down a pro-
posal to take over the mining of
the two to four million tons of
coal now produced by bootleg
miners and the commission then
decided to recommend that the
State take control.
Another meeting of the commits
sion will be held next week either
in Washington or Philadelphia.
The report will be given to Gov
ernor Earle when he returns from
Europe on December Is.
