George Pollack, president of the
all colored local, that six gangs
were at work on the unloading and
loading job of the Panuco. His
local had furnished four of them.
The other two were white. A gang
consists of 20 men which would
make the number of Negroes in
volved 100 and the whites 20. There
were possibly other whites on the
docks not particularly longshore-
men.
According to some Of the stories
gathered there were some 18 Ne
grces working in the three holds
in the forward end Of the ship, the
part nearest the strip. A single
hatchway, large enough for an av-
erage size man to crawl through
was the only way of escape. The
fire was already on the ship and
sweeping everything in its path
when the men in these holds learn
ed of their situation.

SABOTAGE DISCOUNTED
Testimony taken at the hearing

count sabotage as the cause. The
other thought advanced was the
possibility a steVedore stealing a
few moments off for a smoke might
have carelessly thrown away his
cigarette thereby setting fire to
much inflammable stores that lay
round. A flying spark from one OF
the engine compartments of the
ship has been advanced as pos

 It was this oil proposal which apparently got in Cordell Hull's craw.
 However, October l was finally set for the signing of the agree- ment, and the Mexicans brought their Minister of Finance, Eduardo Saurez, up from Mexico City But suddenly something happened, and the State Department postponed the signing until October 5.
 Then as the Mexicans once again were ready to sign, the State De- partment postponed once more. Again there was mysterious wait. Then Secretary Morgenthau actu- ally told the press that the agree ment would be signed October 12.

STANDARD OIL IN BACKGROUND

The President had approved the agreement. Secretary Morgenthau had OK'd his end of it. Jesse Jones had approved the $30,000,0OO credit for road building, and Undersecre- tary of State Welles had worked out all the details. But the Secre- tary of State needed more time. Undersecretary Welles advised that no one rush his chief so everyone sat tight for almost another month.
 Finally, the date of November l9 was set for the signature The Mex ican delegates sat in the May flower Hotel. A bellboy paged MT Parish and MT. Armstrong;" It was William s. Parish and Thomas R Armstrong, president and vice pres ident of Standard Oil of New Jer- sey, being summoned to their last conference with MT. Hull.
 The Secretary of State had been won over. In the end he issued a nice statement in favor of the agreement, though also insisting to the end that the agreement did not bind the oil companies.

JOHN l.. LEWIS'S EVIL
 OLD MAN"

It has been a long time since Jack Garner and the late Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas went to see the President of the United States about John L. Lewis. But the ex-Vice President, sitting in his stocking feet on his front porch in Uvalde these days, still remembers it.
 As Mir Garner tells the story, he was a bit worried for fear he would not have the nerve to speak his mind fully to the President, so he slipped pint bottle of rye into his pocket. And when he got to the White House he went into wash room and took a couple of healthy swigs.
 Then I stepped in,' recounts Garner, and I said, Franklin, this man Lewis will sink you. You may not realize it now, but if you let him stay in the same boat with you, he'll sink you in the end. J"
 Garner says that he spoke his piece with considerable vigor but he feared it made little impression at least at the time.
 NOTE: It was some time later that Lewis called Garner "an evil, whiskey drinking, poker playing old man"

 Alaskas mining industry r particularly the placer mining-faces possible suspension in the near future because of lack of prorities The wage and hour situation and the fact many skilled workers essential to the industry being drawn into other activities outside the Territory threatening the labor supply in the placer fields, further darkens the outlook.
 Tt is obviously a critical period for the Alaska mining industry and the Territory Every Alaskan interested in the industry who will be in Seattle or vicinity on December 10 should be at the coming meeting.
 "fhe problems to be discussed at the Seattle meeting involve the proper defense well as the industry of the North If the industry be paralyzed and vast portion of the population forced to evacuate the Territory the dire results will be felt far and wide and far beyond the borders of the Territory.

MINING EYES ON SEATTLE

A lot of ore bodies are destined to be conversa- tionaly re-dscovered next "wednesday in Seattle when the Alaska Miners Association holds it's an- nual meeting and the men who dig the gold and other mineral wealth of the Territory get together for some "reminiscences plus important business sessions
 This year, as never before, the mining industry is struggling to maintain operation in the face of a defense program which is recognizing primarily those operators who mining ores of strategic minerals The miners of gold and other valuable but not strategic, minerals must bend every effort to keep their mines turning out some semblance of production And quite naturally, every resident in the Territory has a stake in the maintained opera tion of these mining enterprises for without mining a great number of Alaskans will be without employ ment and Alaskan merchants will find themselves with but few customers.
 It may seem strange to some that Seattle should be chosen the location for the annual meeting of the Alaska mining men. But to the mining frater- nifty the big town Puget Sound makes better sense as convention city than could any Alaska location, under the present circumstances It is from Seattle that of the mining supplies for this Territory ordered, and from Seattle the ships sail to bring these supplies to their destinations.
 Then too many of the mines in the Interior do not operate the year around. Mining men like waterfowl in their migratory flights south for the winters and it is in Seattle where they meet talk business and plan the coming summers opera tions. Because Fairbanks is in the center of the Interiors mining region, it is interesting to read the attitude expressed recently in the Fairbanks News Miner
 When the Alaska Miners Association meets in Seattle December 10, it is to be hoped that not only representatives of every section Alaska and it's quartz and placer mining industries will be there. but that the many interests of Seattle and other coastal cities who thrive because of these industries will rise to appreciation of the import of the problems of the industry and will put their shoulders behind the wheel along with the members
