again passable after being blocked
by snow and mud for several weeks;
however the Sandstone road is still
in poor condition so most of the traf-

newly graveled road going north, and
into Sandstone via the pavement. It
is hoped that the roads will soon be
back to normal.

The G. Ms No. I Job

Let's go up on the iron range, in northern Mime
sofa, where Americas life line begins.
You stand on the brink of yawning man-made
chasm. In it could be dumped the Fort Peck,
Grand Coulee and Boulder dams, all the material
excavated from the Panama Canal!
It's the largest, open-pit iron ore mine in the
world-this mine at Hibbing-22 miles long, a
mile wide, and more than 800 feet deep. You're
looking down on 90 miles of railroad track, with
toyike trains and power shoves scoopng up the
Down there, you realize, are the beginnings
of battleships, airplanes, tanks, cannons,
trucks, and automobiles.
For, from this red ore, the ingenuity of American
industry creates everything made of iron and Steel
The task of moving nearly one-third of all the
ore which the pressed blast furnaces of this
ton can handle this year is the Great Northern's
No. job on the national defense program.
Between the opening of navigation this spring
and next falls freezeup- 210 days-theG Great
Northern will be called upon to move "a million
long tons of iron ore from the open-pit and under
ground mines on the Mesab range and load it into
boats at the head of the lakes
It will require thirteen trains day during most
of the season each loaded with more than 10000
long tons of iron ore-d shipload to a train!
1900 cars of ore a day will have to be assembled
on the iron range moved 112 miles to the terminals
at Alouez; and a corresponding number of empty
cars returned and distributed to the mines.
Each carload of ore has been sampled before it
leaves the mine and in the Allouez yards the cars
are switched and assembled that whole boatloads
of the be built up in sections of the docks
to meet the different specifications required by
various steel mills.
Modern facilities and equipment, together
with a highly specialized personnel, enable
the Great Northern to meet these demands
of a national emergency With the utmost con-
fdence that its obligations wiN be fully and
con1petently discharged.

 Waterfowl season is now just right, the sportsmen contended. The 60-day season gives Alaska hunters all the shooting they want, it was pointed out, and apparently is in the interests of conservation as the waterfowl population showed a sub stantial increase this season in the Southeast area over the previous five to six years.

Stiff Anti-Strike
 Bill Passes House
 By Smashing Vote
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. c. - 1 hard= boiled bill to curb strikes stamped this week with the unexpected house endorsement by an almost 2 to 1 vote, moved to the senate where ex- tensive modification appears prob able.
 Senators predicted their chamber will relax the bills drastic terms. then let a senate and a house con- ference committee work out some agreement concerning the final scope of the legislation.
 The house rolled up a 252-136 vote for the far-reaching bill. of fered by Representative Howard Smith. democrat of Virginia. with out even considering some pending middle of the road" measures.
 The Smith measure, admittedly subject to refinements in it's phras- ing. provides for cooling off periods ranging from 30 to 90 days in de- fense labor disputes, during which the national defense mediation board would be given statutory life and power to use it's good offices to pre- vent a strike.
 In addition, the bill would forbid jurisdictional, boycott and sympa- thy strikes, would freeze existing closed or open shop arrangements for the duration of the defense em- ergeney, and permit a defense strike only if the majority of workers af- fected by it gave their approval through secret ballot. It also would ban violence. Tickets would have to be bona fide strikers from the firm being picketed.

ANNUAL SEAL SALE
 GETS UNDER WAY FOR
 TUBERCULOSIS FUNDS

Te 35th Annual Tuberculosis Seal Sale got under way this week throughout the nation and Alaska.
 Funds raised by the sale of Christ mas seals is used to combat the spread of tuberculosis and 95 per cent of funds raised in Alaska are retained by the Territory for use of it's residents. The other five per cent goes to the National Tubercul- osis Society.
 Statistics show that tuberculosis attacks more persons between 15 and 45 than any other disease but great steps have been made, the past few years, by both the National and Ter ritorial organization, especially among school children, in arresting the disease before it reaches the in- curable stage. Funds go to pay doc tors and nurses making examina- tions, provide free X-ray service to those unable to pay and also go for maintainance of hospitals where pa tients are treated free of charge if their circumstances require it.
 Last years drive was highly satis- factory in Wrangell, reaching near ly $200. Tt is hoped that this year Wrangell will exceed even that amount for this worthy cause," Mrs May Grant, chairman for Wrangell, said.
