ARE OUT OF WORK,
 R.R. STRIKE

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 101R-Service on the Cotton Belt railroads main line to the southwest was halted for several hours today by trainmen on strike against the Missouri Pa cific railroad.
 Union officials announced after a conference that interruption of Cot ton Belt traffic resulted from mis- understanding on the part of the strikers. They instructed strike di- rectors to permit the Cotton Belt to resume full service
 Meanwhile traffic on the far flung Missouri Pacific System came to a standstill. We're not even trying to run handcar," spokes- man for the road said. Five thous- and trainmen were on strike and 22,5C0 other employees were laid off.
 Several Cotton Belt trains were stopped by picket line of Mis- souri Pacific strikers near Dupo, H., just southeast of St. Louis early today.
 The Cotton Belt uses Missouri Pacific tracks between Dupo and Illmo.
 R. E. Davidson, speaking for the four Brotherhoods on strike, said:
 This thing that happened at Dupo was without doubt caused through an error-a misunder- standing of what the trains con- sisted of. Our men presumed that was an attempt to run Missouri Pacific train. That wasn't so."

BIG FEATURE '''RED RIVER" NOWHERE, '
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Movie fans who like their film fare set against the great outdoors, should have wonderful time see- Ing Howard Hawks great Western, Red River" the Monterey Pro- duction which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre through United Artists release. The film is packed with action, colorful characteriza- tions and packed drama.
 John Wayne, whose name at once arouses thoughts of rugged and vital personality plays to the hilt the heroic role of Thomas Dunson, romantic character whose dream of building a cattle smpire in the great Southwest forms the nucleus of the films story.
 Young Montgomery Gift, as his adopted son, Matthew Garth. also turns in a performance that is as brilliant as it is different.
 Co-starred with Wayne and Gift are Walter Brennan, playing one of those delightful, crochety characters he has made famous, and a lovely young star named Jeanne Dru, who has already made Ter mark in Hollywood.
 Red River" is a Western saga adapted from Borden Chase's ex- citing Saturday Evening Post D. part serial, The Chisholm Trail The story tells of Thomas Dunson's safari from Texas to Kansas, as the head of group of over five hundred cowboys who are bringing north herd of cattle, numbering in the thousands, to what they trust will be railroad, thus open ing up the entire market of the east to Texas cattlemen.
 The trip is fraught with danger, including an Indian attack, cat tie stampede, and the hazardous crossing of the famous Red River by men, horses and cattle.
 Although the story possesses the scope of such classic Westerns as "The Covered Wagon" and "Cimar- ron," never for a moment does Producer Director Hawks let his audiences forget that he had a dra- matic story to tell-a story that concerns principally the tough thinking, hard-headed pioneer, Thomas Dunson, whose methods Of driving his men run counter to the ideas of Matthew Garth.

IRON OUT PROBLEMS FOR APARTMENTS AT
 WEST JUNEAU SITE

All obstacles in the path of start ing construction on the 100-unit apartment development at West Ju- neau have been apparently satis- factorily solved, Mayor Waino Hendrickson said today.

 Assuming processing of the plans does not take undue time, some units are expected to be ready for occupancy soon after September l, according to the Bayview Apart nlent Housing Company project developers.
 Fire protection has been assured the apartments by the City of Ju- neau. The Alaska Road Commis- sion is expected to solve the prob- lem of street grading and main- tenance. Private capital will fi- nance water and sewerage con- struction, with the local utility company providing power.

A man is well come to use my cabin if he will ask me, and then treat it with respect, but when man who claims to be the Sportsman this gentleman does, messes up my cabin the way he did, object.
 In conclusion, I wish to say if that is the kind of Sportsmanship che has to display in order to get ones name before the public, I for one prefer to remain in seclusion, and I repeat the old, old saying, May Heaven bless you, the Devil miss you, and all your troubles be little ones," and in the future it is hoped, you will make your rendez- vous of filth elsewhere.

To The Editor of The Empire
 Subject: Sportsmanship.
 I recently saw good example of sportsmanship. I have to put it that way because it came from a good Juneau sportsman. On arriv- ing at my cahin up Taku Inlet, I was informed that seal hunters were living in it. says, Oh-oh- and oh, oh it was, for when op- ened the door saw something I never expected to see. There were seal scalps nailed up back of the stove, seal oil on the floor and seal oil on the porch outside. On the other side of the stove against the wall was soaked up carton of half-rotten garbage. There was dirt on the floor and guns, blankets, clothes and what have you scattered about A general all around mess.
 That was bad enough, but when I found out just WHO it was, I nearly fell over was informed he was out hunting seals, so waited for him to return. I did not have long to wait before he came. I let him open the door and come in. I looked at him for minute and then asked him if he was Mr. -. Of course, I would not think of mentioning his name.
 The Gentleman Sportsman said yes" I said, Well, I don't like to say anything out of place, but after certain things that have come to pass, (and won't mention that either) never thought YOU would come into a mans cabin and mess it up like this" He just looked at me for a minute without saying a word, then in feeble sort of a way, said that he left in a hurry that morning and did not have time to clean up.
 I replied, However, I doubt your word very much, for have seen some dirty houSekeepers, but never saw one who could create that
