ARE WAGES ADEQUATE?

1t takes telephone workers eight years to reach
the advertised top rates. More than half the Com
panys employees have less than five years service
and receive pay far below maximum. Cost of living
has risen 300 since wages were adjusted last year
Top craft rates have risen less than 25 since 1941
Since there is but one Telephone Company in
this city, comparison is difficult. Nevertheless
workers in many other local establishments with
comparable working conditions are much better
paid

ONLY ALASKA NOW ExEMp ON MINE
 ASSESSMENT WORK

WASHINGTON, JLiy 16.-lR- Fred w. Johnson, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said today many holders of U. s. miii- ing claims have misinterpreted a congressional act in postponing as sessment work on their holdings.
 Johnson said Public Law 142 ap- proved by Congress June 30 merely suspended the statutory require ments for all mining claims in Alaska until July l next year.
 Holders of claims in the United States must perform minimum of $10O worth of labor on the property within the next 12 months to retain ownership.
 This is to prevent mine-holders from retaining land year after year without developing it.
 The requirement of annual assess ment work, written into the 1872 mining laws. was suspended during the 1893-94 depression, the Spanish American war in 1898, the World war from 1917 to 1921, and much of the time from 1882 onward dur ing depression and war years. How ever, the requirement again became effective, by Presidential proclama- ton, as of July l, this year, for all U. s. claims except those in Alaska

Marshall Desires Increase in Production as Aid 10
 Europe 5 Recovery

WASHINGTON, July 16-iR- Secretary of State Marshall saio today the United States govern ment urgently desires in increase in Ruhr coal production in Ger many as a fundamental require ment for the recovery of Europe.
 Marshall told a news conference that Ruhr coal is of interest to many nations over Europe, but that at present there are no plans tc bring France, Russia or any of the other countries into British-Ameri- can coal production talks. He said these will begin here the latter part of the week.
 Marshall indicated that he is pleased with the manner in which European governments have taken the initiative in trying to work out a joint European recovery plan as a basis for expected further Amer ican help.
 Other officials, including respon- sible State Department advisers said no adequate plan for European re- covery can be completed without fitting Germany into the picture.
 For this reason, they said, Clay has been instructed to cooperate with the Paris meetings to the full est extent necessary to fit the American zone into the proposed new economic order.

Moose, Now Accustomed 10 Fire, Craze Untonterned|y
 Near Big Blaze on kenai

SEWARD, Alas.a, July 16.-7P-- A smoke cloud darkens the six, over the Kenai Peninsula iron Seward to Anchorage, but Dar Ralston of the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service said today that the moose have become so accustomed to fire that they graze unconcern- edly within 1000 yards of the blaze which has ravaged 100000 peninsula acres.
 Ralston said the fire, recently reported to be within miles oi the village of Kenai, appeared tc be some 15 miles from the settle ment. This statement followed a survey flight made yesterday.
 He said there was concentra- tion of wildlife at the outskirts of the blaze, which was raging un- checked on all fronts but one that along Mystery Creek to the east.
 It had crisscrossed the southern end of the Kenai River, but as yet had not jumped the. upper river. A swamp within the burned area had served as a refuge for much wild life.
 The army is carrying on a battle against the flames much as field campaign, with some 40 men and officers in the fight. Reports from Anchorage last night said plans were being made to requisition barges, equip them with pumps and take them up the Kasilof River to head off the advancing fire.
 Ralstcn said the possible loss of suitable grazing grounds was the greatest threat to the moose pop ulation. About one-third of the moose reserve on the peninsula was gone, he said, and it takes about three years for the small shrubbery upon which the moose thrive, to grow again.

JAPAN PEACE TREATY MEET
 |5pR0p05ED

! WASHINGTON, July l6. R- The United States announced todd, I it has proposed an 11-nation con | ference August 19 to begin work Of a Japanese peace treaty The pro- posal represents a break with the peace-m making methods followed iil Europe, where Russia and each of the Big Four powers has an ab- solute veto.
 The conference. under the Amer ican proposal, would be held either in Washington of San Francisco Some of the invited nations might suggest alternative places or dates
 No replies have been received to the proposal which was made, the State Department announced, last Friday.
 American officials said that be- cause of the availability of diplo- matic representatives in Washing ton it probably would be simpler to arrange this initial conference here but the American proposal was reported authoritatively to have left the way open for meeting in San Francisco The State Depart ment's formal announcement said only that the United States told the other governments that it would be pleased to be host If they desire.
 American officials said they are uncertain whether Russia will ac- cept the proposal.
 The proposal would not only take treaty-making out of the hands of four nations and turn it over to II, but it also would establish a thirds voting system among the II so that even there no veto would would be permitted.
