 Well, I haven't seen a piece of bacon for breakfast in the three weeks I've been in Seattle"
 The telegram, he explained, said that for the first time in five months his miners had no bacon for breakfast. Otherwise, the mes sage said the situation was far from serious.
 'The shipping strike has inter fered somewhat with arrival of food stocks in Alaska, he said. But all the reports l get show there is no real hardship and plenty to eat for everybody.

Pittsburg's Power Strike Ends

PITTSBURGH, R-IndustriaN life in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area swung back towards normal today upon the end of a Friday power strike-longest and costli- est in the nations history.
 Hundreds of industrial plants resumed work at full speed to make up for lost production. Street car transportation was norE mal again and bus line operations almost normal.
 The Sun-Telegraph estimated the strike cost the steel capital lat least $30O,OOO,O0O" in business and wages.
 Cancellation sessions to end a 2l-day old hotel strike, also cost ing the city considerable business, resumed today. The eight largest hotels here have virtually closed, resulting in cancellation of number of conventions.
 The power strike ended when the light company employees voted to submit their demands for a 20 percent wage increase and other issues to arbitration.

 The largest of the three Alaska mills has an eight-hour saving capacity of 175,0O0 board feet of lumber, he reported. At one time during the war, lumber had to be shipped from Russia to meet ur- gent military construction needs.

Capital Afraid Of Investment In Alaska TimberIand

SEATTLE, (P- Southeastern Alaska's huge forests could go far toward filling the nations future lumber and newSprint shortages but timber interests fight shy of such expansion because of federal control of the forests and limited transportation, lumber industry spokesman said in weekend statement here.
 Almost next door" to the Pa cific northwest, the forests con- tain an estimated 85 billion board feet of lumber, but at present there are only three saWmills of commercial size in the entire ter ritory.
 w. E. Bell, managing director of the western retail lunbermen's assiciation, listed three points in a weekend summary giving his explanation of the situation:
 1. With all timber in Alaska federally owned and controlled, sawmill operators must buy tim Der needed for their operations from the government.
 ?. Because the government con- trols the timber and Alaska water ways, it is able through bureau cratic control to decree virtually life or death for such operations.
 3. Water transportation now available would be insufficient to handle large-scale exports of lum- Der, wood products or pulp. A large operator would be required to provide his own fleet of ships.
 Forest studies indicate that with proper forestry management, southeastern Alaska could easily produce a billion board feet annu- ally in perpetuity, Bell said. About 30 percent would be good construction lumber, representing lumber needed for 30,000 houses. The major portion of the timber would be suitable primarily for pulpwood, but the Territory does not now have a single pulp mill.
