PARK HOTELS WILL BE
 READY IN 1s3s
James Galen, Returning to Interior, Enthused Over
 Bumper Tourist Crop

The projected hotel of the Mc- Kinlcy Park Tourist and Transpor- tation Company. to have been partly financed by Government funds, will not be built until the summer of l939 according to James Galen President and General Manager of the com- pany, who passed through Juneau today on the Aleutian.
 Galen is returning from three months in Washington, during which time he was in constant con- tact with Government officials in attempting to secure money for hotel construction in the Park.
 The veteran Mckinley Park boost CT said however, that the Govern- ment-constructed hotel will be fin- ished by the end of this summer, and will be ready for occupancy by the beginning of the 1889 season.
 The projected construction work by Galen's company will include two $125,0o0 hotel units, the first of which is the one planned for next summers work It will be hotel that will accommodate 50 persons, approximately 65 miles by road from the railroad station at the Park.
 The second project will be identi- cal to the second, and will involve an addition to the original hotel structure.
 Though disappointed at red tape and lack of legislative speed in Washington, Galen is returning, en- thused over the prospects for the tourist year.
 Tt appears as though this will be Alaskas biggest tourist year, by far,p Galen said. Advance reserva- tions are surprisingly heavy, and I know we will do our best business in the thirteen years we have been pioneering Mckinley Park"

Rasmuson Says Mining Booming
 Near Anchorage
Carter Reports to Chamber on Gala Air Mail Cele-
 bratiion in Fairbanks

There is more mining activity in the Anchorage district this season than he has seen in his 35 years in Alaska. A. E. Rasmuson, President of the Bank of Alaska chain and Republican National Committed man, told the Juneau Chamber of Commerce this noon at its weekly luncheon meeting in Percy's Cafe. The hand shovel of other days has been discarded for modern new equipment which is revolutionizing the mining industry, he said, and bringing many new and promising areas into development and ulti- mate production. MT. Rasmuson ar rived here on the Aleutian from Wrangell, where his company has a bank, and was planning to fly to his home in Skagway this afternoon | if weather permitted.
 Telling of his recent visit to Fair banks in connection with the first air mail flight, President Charles w. Carter told of visiting some Of the mining areas ill that section while in the Interior city, finding great dredges at work and huge new drag-line outfits working and others going in Due to the light fall of snow the past winter, water will be the major problem for the mining industry in that section this sum- mer, he reported
 Fairbanks turned out en mass to greet the first air mail, the Presi- dent reported, and made a gala event of it.
 | Declaring that business was sui fering under prevailing labor con- ditions in Juneau, J. B. Warrack advanced the suggestion to the Chamber that some of the business leaders get together with the labor leaders and see if an adjustmnt beneficial to the community could not be reached.
 Roy Dimmitt, representative of the Vocational Educational Depart ment, Washington, D. C., was a guest and expressed his enthusiasm over his first visit to the Territory
 The Chamber approved a petition which is being circulated for light ing Ferry Way, paving to Willough- by Avenue and also approved the action of the Executive Board to abandon the Fourth of July celebra- tion this year. Tn past years the Chamber has set aside a special fund fer putting on the celebration under the direction of the American Leg ion Legion officials said today that without the support of the business l interests of Juneau, the Legion probably would not attempt to put on celebration, especially in view of the action of the Chamber which is representative of the city's busi- ness.

NEW SERVICE IS
 ANNOUNCED BY l ALASKA S.S. co.
Changed in Accom- modations, Is Enroute
 Tourist Season Looms

Again improving Seattle Alaska transportation facilities, the AL aska Steamship Company was pleas ed recently to introduce the steamer Denah to Alaska. This newest mem Der of The Alaska Line fleet, which left Seattle April 26 on her maiden voyage and sailed from 6eatth7 again on May 10 for her second trip, was purchased from the Grace Line in January of this year Form erly the Caracas, the new ship was immediately given new name Denali--well known in Alaska as the native name for Mount Me Kinley. f...f.5
 However, more changes than that of her name were made in the Dem ali before she was released for the Alaska service, according to L. w. Baker, traffic manager of The All aska Line. The ships passenger accommodations were greatly im- proved, hot and cold running fresh water being added in all staterooms. !. t.3.s.. other Changes
 fiIndeed, the opening of the 1888 summer season this month saw many improvements in passenger accommodation aboard Alaska Line ships MT. Baker said. Fourteen Tstateroems on c deck of the Mt. Mckinley have been equipped with twin beds and pullman upper berths, and six staterooms on the upper deck of the same ship were equipped with twin beds, pullman upper .berths, and private showers, On the Columbia. formerly the Dorothy AL .exander, hot and cold running fresh water was added to every stateroom not already so equipped.
 Year Around Seru,ce
 "The addition of the Denali to the fleet and the improvements made for this season on other ships is in line with the constant policy of The Alaska Line to improve Alaska transportation facilities MT. Bak- .er stated. "The Alaska Line is ded- icated to the policy of furnishing adequate service the year round, which means that during less active periods of the year, most of the fleet is not needed. Sharp seasonal trends, which are inherent to Alaska traf- fic, mean that large number of steamers must be held idle, ready for service on short notice, in order to serve properly the varying needs of the Territory. It is easily seen how inadequate Alaska transpor- tation service would be if it were limited only to the number of steam CTS required for steady year round operation. The Alaska Line is justly proud of it's record of -increas- ing service to fulfill Alaska's needs at all times"
 Tourist Outlook
 That the 1888 tourist season, which opened the first of May and will continue through September, will be an exceptionally. successful one, is the opinion of H. P. Peterson. gen eral passenger agent. Special stress has been put this year in our nat ional advertising campaign on the exceptional length of the summer season in Alaska MT. Peterson said
 From May IA to october l2, inclu- sive, there are a total of "A sailings scheduled from Pier Two in Seat tie, Peterson pointed out. Twen- ty of these sailings are Inside Pas sage Cruises as far north as Jun eau and Sitka; Thirty-five are to Prince William Sound; five to Nome and other Boring Sea points; four teen to Prince of Wales Island area.

TEXTILE PACT HELD
INVALID BY JUDGE

Providence, R. /. (ILNS) Judge
Charles A. Walsh, of the Superior
Court of Rhode Island has ruled that
the contract between the United Tex
tile Workers of America and the c. l..
@. is invalid. At least 100000 textile
workers are said to be enrolled under
this contract.
The judge referred to the contract
signed by John L. Lewis for the CT. O.
and by President Francis German for
the textile workers; under which the
Textile Workers Organizing Commit
tee of the C. l. O. was to manage the
textile organizing campaign, and was
to have large powers over the or
ganization.
at is fair from reading the contract
to deduce that it was the intention
of the parties to said contract that the
U. I. W. A. should, in effect, be dis
solved said the judge. "No oppor-
tunity was given to the local unions to
express their wishes in the matter
and hence it is impossible to say
whether at least nine unions would not
dissent"
The u. T. w. A. constitution pro
vides that the organization cannot be
dissolved while nine local unions dis.
sent. The judge insisted that con.
vention should have been called ane
the constitution of the order changed
before the contract was signed.
| The matter will be carried to the
state Supreme Court.

PROMOTES
INDUSTRIAL PEACE

Philadelphia (ILNS). - DIR. G. w.
Taylor, a member of the industrial re-
search department of the University
of Pennsylvania, has settled more than
1000 disputes between management
and workers in the hosiery industry
in the last seven years-and never has
had strike.
every decision has been accepted
by both sides" said DR.. Taylor. "They
have become the common law of the
industry, and are used in settling dis
putes covered by them. If new sit
uation arises, ruling is made to cover
itafter full presentation of the facts.
son the basis of facts, the parties
never are going to be far enough apart
to justify strike or lockout"
Dr.. Taylor is only 81 years old. In
1881, when he was seven years younger
still, he was drafted by the American
Association of Hosiery Workers and
IIc IlOSleIy manufacturers ASSOcla-
tion as impartial chairman for their
first contract. He has been at it ever
since. He teaches one course at the
university, devotes the rest of his time
to impartial chairman work for $50
plants of several different interests;
and is one of the busiest men in the
state.
''If there are no strike clauses
in the contracts between unions
and employers" he says, there
must be some substitute for
strikes. An impartial or a me-
diation board to administer pro-
visions of the contract offers such
substitute"
He remarked also that getting the
facts brings collective bargaining in
stead of collective arguing" and that
the job of impartial chairman in labor
disputes is coming to be almost a
new profession"

MINING ACCIDENT
RISK HIGHER THAN
MANUFACTURING
international Labor Office Finds Coal
Mining Far More Dangerous.

Geneva (ILNS) Goal mining is
far more dangerous than work in
manufacturing industries, the Inter
national Labor Office finds.
Comparing the number of fatal ac-
cidents in coal mines with the num-
Der in manufacturing industries, an
|. L. O. report on Accident Risks in
Coal Mines" discloses that, in 1885,
the latest year for which complete
figures are available, coal mine fatal
tiles were 20 times higher in Japan,
IL times higher in India, Z times higher
in the United States, 3 times higher
in Germany, and twice as high in
Czechoslovakia.
The report, submitted TO the l. L. O.
Committee on Safety in Mines that
met in Geneva to draft model safety
regulations for the coal-mining in
dustry, warns that allowance must be
made in interpreting these figures
"for difficulties arising from possible
lack of compatibility" Nevertheless,
it found it clear that, compared with
the manufacturing industries, coal
mining is subject to higher degree
Of hazard"
The number of non-fatal accidents
in coal mines, the report shows, also
exceeds the number in manufacturing
industries. Thus, in 1885, non-fatal
coal mine accidents were II times
higher in Japan, times higher in the
United States, more than twice as high
in the Netherlands and almost twice
as high in Germany.
