 MT. Sheldon further stated that an individual whose unemployment is caused by a labor dispute which is in active progress is automatic ally disqualified for benefits for the duration of such labor dispute. provided the worker belongs to a grade or class of workmen who are participating in or directly inter ested in such dispute. Any worker who is dissatisfied with his bens- fiji determination has the right Q a hearing before an impartial ap- peals tribunal without expense to the claimant.
 The Territorial Employment s9t- vice was returned to the control of the Unemployment Compensation Commission of Alaska by Act Of Congress effective Nov. 16, 1916, having been loaned to the Federal Government as a war emergency measure.
 All employers, as well as em- rloyees seeking help are urged tq avail themselves of the facilities of yhe Territorial Employment Serv- ice. In the event the type of WIG k CT desired by the employer is not available within the Territory. he may be secured by virtue of a ro- ciproeal agreement between the Territorial Employment Service and Employment Service Sections of other states.

Supplemental rail- road equipment purchased by the Army for use on the road is no longer needed and will be sold as surplus war material.
 The original White Pass and Yu- kon road was built four decades ago to tap the gold fields of the Klondike. During the war it ear- ried on it's dramatic role in history as the supply artery that fed the new Alaskan international high way from the sea.
 Construction of the original road was started at Skagway, gateway to the Yukon, in April 1898. The narrow gauge road with its ter minal at Whitehorge was completed in July 1900 at an approximate cost of ten million dollars, and 2. said to be only railroad in the world that paid tor itself during construction due to the fact that the gold seekers travelled on wofk cars as they inched their way alone the road The major portion of construction was through rock One mountain side was so precip ous that it was necessary to sus- pend grade crews by ropes to make the first rock drilling for cutting the road bed out of solid granite.
