Cordova Times

An advertisement of the Copper River 6 Northwestern railway by D. T. Stannard, vice president, pub fishes an open letter to the public advising of the abandonment of all mining operations at the Kennecott Copper Corporation's mines at Ken necott about October 15 and the termination of all operations of the Copper River & Northwestern rail way some time between that time and November 1.
 The closing of the mine and rail- discussed not only in Cordova but throughout the Territory, for many months but it was not until this let ter, that a definite public announce ment was made. The closing is oc- casioned by the exhaustion of cop per ore of sufficient value and quantity to warrant it's extraction from these mines.
 The c. R. & N: W. railway hauled it's first trainload of copper ore to the wharf at Cordova in April, 1912, more than 26 years ago. Outside of an IS months closed period during the early part of this decade, the mine has been in continuous oper- ation ever since and millions of tons of ore have passed over the local wharf
 These two great enterprises have been of great benefit to Cordova and to the employment of the town and community and to this entire district of Alaska. It is estimated that the annual payroll of the uafnes and railxoad haa zxsTaxed

Almon ?. Roth, president of the waterfront employers association. recently announced at San Francis co that an agreement for a new contract with CIO longshoremen. embodying a curb on Quickie strikes, had been reached. Harry Bridges approved the contract as head of the negotiation union.
 The announcement dispelled fears the conference of representatives ot employers and steYedores might break Up and result in another mar itime tie-up. All other maritime contracts affecting San Francisco automatically were renewed.
 Negotiations involving the Sailors Union of the Pacific and ships op- erating in the Alaskan service, however have not been completed at Seattle. The negotiations involve proposed changes in the working Of cargoes at Alaskan ports, it was said recently by Peter Gill, spokes- man for the SUP at Seattle.

Red Cross Membership
 Rolls Open Until Oct. 1

The Red Cross Roll Call is being kept open until October first inc stead of having been closed last week as was stated through a mis- understanding, and a call will be made in the various residential dis tricts before that time. Only the down town section and incidental homes were canYassed the first week, and number of members who have answered the Roll Call over a period of years have not yet been contacted A few omissions in the list as published will be listed when the final report Is made.
 The value of an organization like the Red Cross is brought home for eibly to everyone in the radio ac- counts of the terrible hurricane which has taken lives and property in the New England area. At all times the national organization is ready to render immediate aid with out waiting to appeal to it's chapters. When that appeal follows, the money received replaces what has been used for any certain stricken con- munity and once more the organi- zation is ready. Preparedness IS ever the watchword, and the speed and efficiency with which disaster can be relieved is due to the inter- est of the citizenry which supports the Red Cross.
