HEALY RIVER COAL
Miners Strike FOR
INCREASE IN WAGES

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 1872
"A miners walkout to back up a
wage increase demand has shut
down the main operations of the
Healy River Coal Company at Sun
trana.
More than 60 employees left their
jobs.
Company officials said the newly
recognized unit of the United Mine
Workers Ind) gave no advance no.
tice on the walkout. Negotiations
between the firm and the new un-
ion local had been in progress since
Sept. S.
Members of the union negotiating
committee said in a statement on the
walkout:
Negotiations have fallen through
because of disagreement on the
question of wages. The miners are
asking 471a cents an hour blanket
increase for all workers. Their pre-
sent wage is $2.271a per hour. The
increase, if secured, would give them
S2.75."
The company management said
it had offered a straight 27la- cent
an hour increase to the miners and
from 20 to 25 cents for all other cate
gories covered by the union agree
ment. A 27h-cent increase would
make the miners scale $2.55 an hour.

SPEAKERS PLEASED
by ENTHUSIASM FOR
TOURIST pR0GRA AM

A "shot in the arm was given
Alaska's potential tourist industry
recently by officials of two territor-
les and they, in turn, were exhil-
arated by the enthusiastic reaction
Throughout the Northland.
The officials are George T. Arm
itage, for % years associated WIN
the Hawaii Tourist Bureau, and
George Sundborg, consultant to the
Alaska Development Board. Armit-
age came here to assist the Board.
Before they set out to visit 35
places in Alaska in 80 days Armit-
age had described Hawaii's exper-
fence for the Chamber of Com
merce here.
Most of the 25 Armitage-Sund-
borg talks in Alaska were for
Chambers of Commerce and service
clubs. They appeared before SINH
lar groups in Seattle and Portland,
and also made five radio broadcasts.
All the talks were on how Alaska
can capitalize on a real program
of tourist promotion.
Our plan," said Sundborg today,
calls for a. big general meeting
or two meetings, because of geo.
graphical problems-of a sort of
Alaska Travel Congress, to form
"a tourist association"
The meeting, or meetings, prob
ably will be early next month.
The tourist program is being
developed by the Development
Board, according to Sundborg, who
says he hopes 1t will be taken over
by an independent committee of
citizens.
Armitage and Sundborg parted
company in Portland, the visitor
to return to Honolulu. Sundborg
returned 70 Juneau.

FEATURE Sword
in DESERT" NOW
SHOWING, CAPITOL

Sword in the Desert" the big
Universal international production
at the Capitol Theatre, is one OF
the most exciting pictures released
in recent years, with its steadily
paced action and suspense, pro-
jected before a background of fierce
fighting in the Near East.
Dana Andrews. Marta loren and
Stephen McNally co-star in this
first film ever to employ a Pales-
tine setting. In important featured
roles are Jeff Chandler of radio
fame, Philip Friend, English i'm
portation, and Liam Redmond, ia
nous star and director of the Abbey
Theatre in Dublin, making his
American screen debut.
The story concerns an American
sea captain who smuggles a cargo
of refugees from Italy to the Pal
estine coast, is trapped there and
prevented from returning to his ship
and then spends forty-eight hours
as a fugitive with underground
fighters and the refugees he has
landed
In the role of the American sea
captain Andrews gives a splendid
performance. He is extremely be-
lievable in the rugged, guilty"
Characterization and needs no con-
ventional get-the-girl ending to aid
him in gaining the sympathy of an
audience.
Miss loren plays the Underground
radio commentator with convincing
feeling and inspiration. Stephen Nc
Nally has the best role of his screen
career to date, in the part of the
Underground lieutenant who deals
with the American and effects pri-
son breaks and rescues Of his COM
patriots.
The romantic interest is provided
by McNally and Marta, and it is
not stressed to the point where it
detracts from or interferes with the
splendid flow of action in the story
