IS WORKED From All Porta of OUT UTAH 'UllIlH Si- vfl BOARD FORMALLY NOTI FIED WALKOUT WILL BE CARRIED THROUGH IF VOTED Coal Miner Head Declares That Transportation Workers Must Fight Wage Cut; to Take Effect July First Cincinnati, Ohio. Formal notice was served Sunday on the railroad labor bfard by the chiefs of ten railroad unions of their intention to with a strike In event one is authorized by the 1,250,000 workers whose wages are to be reduced July 1 under "orders of 'the board. Coupled, apparently, with the action of the rail union leaders was a statement that the railroad workers havs no alternative except to fight, made by John L. Lewis, leader of the strik. lng coal miners, who will meet with rail union leaders Tuesday to consider Joint strike action. He also pledged the miners aid to the rail men, but declined to state definitely what aid might result from joint action. The notice sent to the railroad laboi board, in the form of a letter, relter-atethe rail union leaders attitude oil the threatened walkout, which was first definitely asserted in their statement issued here Thursday night. The previous statement also Included the declaration that an overwhelming vote was being cast for the walkout In their letter to the board the rail men said: When there occures a miscarriage of justice of such colossal ana per manent Injury to railway labor as yout decisions will bring about, the only means of remedy which the injured parties have is to refuse to accept yout decisions. This procedure is perfect ly legal. While it should only be used as a last resort, our membership may to be'fuly justified by y'our wy''tsrlecile denial of elementary and long established rights and by the seriousness of the situation which you hare created. Your decisions have been submitted to a strike vote of our members and we are awaiting the results ol their action. Should our members oe. cide not to accept your decision, or in other words to strike, we shall sane lion their action and advise you ac-cordingly. Mr. Lewis, the miners chief, while asserting unwillingness to discuss the outcome of the coming conference with 1 the railmen, said the miners will do anything that is helpful and constructive for the railroad men and for the miners themselves. $ I am convinced, declared Mr. Lewis, that the railroad men and the rank and file of the railroad organizations frankly recognize the necessity of mak-- ' lng a fight regardless of the conse quences. And in that fight they will have the whole-souleand active of the mine workers. The presidents of the rail union said in their letter to the labor board that they have done everything to avert , a strike, pointed out that no appeal was ' possible from the boards decisions, and restated that the unions contention was that the transportation law required a living wage for employees at the bottom of the scale of occupations, with higher rates, for other workmen, according to their skill hazard of employment, responsibility, training and experience. ' In making wage reductions, the board was told that it had established the principle that just wages must road ownership in the matter of re- -, await the complete satisfaction of ratl- habilitation and profits. Further, the board was told that in its last decision cutting the wages of clerks, signal men and stationery firemen it had stated as a basis of action the theory that labor cannot be completely freed from the economic laws which likewise tlie earnings of capital. ' a V.'dearljf this means nothing more nor . less, tly; letter said, than the treat-meof labor as a commodify whose value fluctuates according to the Ce- manil for and the supply of labor. As a result of the boards decisions, , the letter said, the lowest, paid em-plofees have been degraded below a level of bare animal subsistence and ! the earning capacity of the employees ; In the higher grades had been reduced below a standard of healthful and de-- : cent living.

When President Harding goes np there this summer he will land about Btrawberry time, and such strawberries as Marion never saw to hear the natives brag. The president will see government built railroad and be able to take a little auto trip right up to the nose of a glacier. The head of tha college near Fairbanks Is Charles Hi Bunnell, former federal judge, and the campus is on a tract of land four miles from Fairbanks, on the main line of the new railroad. The college was formally established in 1917. There was under cultivation in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks last year, according to Professor Bunnell a total of 1920 acres. This land produced 100 tons of vegetables, 1006 tons of oats hay, 1270 bushels of oats and barley, o516 bushels of wheat and 392 tons of potatoes. The wheat represent the yield of 183 acres.

After all, the national Interests in Alaska are paramount. Alaska represents, In her marine fisheries, her enormous agricu-tur- al areas and her resources for growing meat producing animals, one of the great food sources of the United States. In her vast forest lies a practical solution of our paper shortage. Just what is involved is pointed out by the American Forestry association There are 20, (XX), 000 acres and other 75,000,000,000 feet of timber of a quality suitable for general consumption in the national forests in Alaska. This Is equivalent to nearly 6 per cent of all the timber in the continental United States. Wisely handled, a pa per industry can be developed in Alaska as permanent as the paper in dustrles of Scandinavia, and capable of supplying a third of the present paper consumption of the United States. During the administration of the United States forest service national forests have been open freely for the use of timber and other commercial resources under regulations of an liberal and simple character.
