A. P. A. Service
WASHINGTON, May 24.—
Official advices received here to
day states that Carranza Has as
sembled a force of thirty thou
and Mexican troops along the
border in the vicinity of the Big
Bend country. The troops are
under the command of General
acinto Travinto, a Carranza
i ommander who was lately in
command of thc Mexican forces
in the Monterey section.
The officials are in the dark as
the reason for mobilizing so
large a force at one place on the
border line and there is manifest
uneasiness at their presence j
there. Advices from Funston
state that the troops show no!
disposition to guard the border j
and are apparently encamped
there for no particular object.
The Texas state militia are now
available for duty having report
ed to Funston yesterday- In his
report to the war department
Funston states that he intends to
send the Second and Fourth bat
talions to patrol the Brownsville
district.

EMPLOYMENT OF
LOCAL WAGE EARNERS
The Nome Chamber of Com-1
merce held an interesting and j
busy meeting at the Igloo last
night with a good sized attend
ance. Included in the various
matters to which the chamber
gave its attention was a resolu
tion instructing the secretary to
file an application wijh the Uni
ted States Chamber of Com
I
m'erce for membership in that
that body. As will be remember
ed by Nugget readers, the. Uni
ted States Chamber of Com
merce has requested the local
body to affiliate.
A resolution was also adopted
authorizing the shipping and
transportation committee to en
ter a protest against what is be
lieved to be an unwarranted in
crease in the present freight
rates to the territorq- The reso
lution recommends that the com
mittee enter a protest with the
interstate commerce commission
and, failing to secure relief from
that source, to try to secure com
petitive steamship service or
ormulate plans for the estab
lishment of a “Miners and Mer
chants Steamship Co." to handle
freigl ; independent of the steam
ship lines.
It was also decided to make
an effort, to form an all Alaska
Chamber of Commerce and steps
were taken to secure the co-op
eration of thc commercial bodies
of other ^sections .toward that
end. Probably the most impor
tant matter to which the cham
ber gave its attention was em
bodied in a resolution to make all
possible effort to have home la
bor given the preference by em
ployers instead of parsing the
jobs to outsiders and leaving the
local wage workers to root hog
or die without consideration for
their value to the country. The
following is the text of this in
teresting document, which indi
cates that the chamber is com
mencing to take a new and very
proper view of things.
Whereas, there is a sufficient
number of laboring men residing
permanently in Nome and the
Seward Peninsula, experienced
men skilled in every branch of
industry carried on in these sec-'
tions, to adequately meet and
supply all demands for labor;
and
Whereas, these men are, gen
erally, home builders, taxpayers
and vitally interested in the prog
ress and development of the
communities in which they re
side ; and
Whereas every dollar thus ex
pended and circulated in the sev
eral communities of the penin
sula1, is a dollar added to the
material wealth of such com
munities ; and
Whereas, the large number of
unskilled and inexperienced la
borers imported into the district
ach season are usually paid by
check; to be cashed outside of
the district of Alaska, or else
their earnings are hoarded and
taken out of the country with
them at the close of the season,
thus, not only depriving local la
