Al.ASKA I'l* TO DATE
EVIDENCED ItY SCENE
Thai Alaska is in no sense behind
the times, so far as modern develop
ments [so. Is evidenced by a scene
, witnessed by an Anchorage booster
[on a recent Sunday. It is one which
might just easily have been noted at
Ketchikan or Cordova or Seward. In
its essentials, and goes to show
with what rapidity events are trans
piring nowadays in the North. This
was demonstrated, says the enthus
iast, "when an airplane bearing
passengers passed over the city
while wending its way to the hills a
pack train, followed by several pros
pectors bearing packs upon their
hacks and with dogs likewise burd
ened. headed for the bills. In the
railroad yards a Pullman train was
just pulling in and a big tractor was
making its way out the river road
to perform service for the Alaska
lioad Commission. Tennis players
halted for a moment to gaze at the
airsiiip while watchers at a base
ball game took a hasty glance, but
did not suffer their attention to be
drawn from the national sport. Out
over the Knik arm the airship soar
ed. thence on down to Cook Inlet and
back along the skirts of the moun
tain. Two old-timers chewed assidu
ously upon their quids and cast
an eye skyward. " 'Gee, Bill, if we'd
had that thing tilled with bacon and
beans in '98,' said one. 'some day
I'm going to take a spin in that
wagon just for luck,* said the other."
Cook inlet, according to reports
is rapidly being doited with canner
ies and salteries, beluga whaling
stations and halibut fisheries. The
airplane, introduced this summer by
O .E. Hammontree, serves for rapid
transit between the canneries and
Anchorage. Already the demand for
services is growing and before the
■ summer is ended regular schedules
are to be inaugurated. ' The city o£
1 Anchorage is working on plans for
■ providing an aviation field, and the
' plans suggested for a permanent
I military post at Point Campbell, 10
" miles south of Anchorage, carry
with them an aviation field.
RETALIATORY MEASURES
FOR INJUNCTION PLANS
OF THE FEDERATION
Executive Council of American
Federation of Labor to Hold
Meeting; Question to Call A
General Strike-Main Issue.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 2.—Yesterday
the government was granted a tem
porary restraining order against the
six striking railway shop craft un
ions, their officials and members
from interfering in any way with the
operation of the railroads, and their
properties.
The order was granted by Judge
Wilkerson in the Federal District
court on the application of Attorney
General Daugherty. The order will
remain in force until Sept. 11th,
pending a hearing on the govern
ment's application for a permanent
writ of injunction.
Washington, Sept. 2.—The Execu
tive Council of the American Feder
ation of Labor will hold a meeting in
Washington on Saturday, Sept. 9th.
At that time the officials of the fed
eration will consider the question of
calling a general strike of organized
labor throughout the country as a
protest against the rail shops strike
injunction, which was issued at Chi
cago today. This was the announce
ment made from the office of Presi
dent Gompers last night.
Chicago.—Later.—The injunction
which has been issued by the dis
trict court among other things pro
hibits the strikers from issuing in
terviews or statements, prohibits
them from using their funds to car
ry on the strike, from picketing or
holding parades, from urging thp
men to quit the service of the roads.
Judge Wilkerson in issuing the in
junction said that the petition o( At
torney-General Daugherty "involves
the fundamental principles of the
government of the United States."
The "open shop" right to every
man to accept employment was
stressed by the Attorney-General in
his statement to the court. He denied
that the government is striking a
blow at Organized Labor, b. M. Je
well, president of the Railway Em
ployees Department of the Federa
tion of Labor is the chief Individual
named in the "injunction," but scor
es of other union officials are named
in the petition.
Rumors of a general strike has
been rife ever since President Hard
ing failed to bring about a settlement
of the strike in his negotiations at
Washington.
Chicago, Sept. 1.—The outrages
against the railways have brok
en out anew, with t::e failure of the
attempt to bring peace in the shop
men's strike. Train dynamiting, an
attempt to blow up a train burning
bridges and other railway prop
erty, greasing of tracks, slugging of
workers and other acts of violence
mark the new stage in the railroad
strike. This was disclosed in a sum
mary of reports which been re
ceived from various parts of the coun
try last night.
