Alaska's New Minin" Strike
Qu.te the largest and most extensive paystreak discovered
and now being developed in A'aska is what is termed the Alaska
Miners' -Association. A realization of this fac;t is revealed in the
growing popularity of the organization among the adherents of
the industry.
With headquarters in Fairbanks, geographical center of the
Territory and its mining industries, the organization is attracting
the earnest attention of mining man far and near. Under the dir
ection of alert leaders, the association is tireless in its efforts t.o
see that the interest of all branches of mining in the Territory are
safeguarded.
United efforts are being made to obtain favorable legislation
and to secure fair and favorable interpretation and application of
the laws on behalf of everyone engaged in the industry.
Some, particularly those in remote localities, have been slow
to appreciate the necessity of putting up an united front and
t
maintaining ceaseles vigiliance on behalf of their own welfare.

The fact the light is dawning in camps far and near is attest
ed in the increasing attendance at the luncheon meetings of the
organization every Friday noon, and that those sitting there repre
sent various widely separated localities. Drawn to' this hub of
trade and travel, the visitors find the hand of welcome extended
to one and all.
A1 visitors are invited to offer suggestions. All have some
thing timely to offer and some are contributing the most valuable
ideas to the organisation, which stands ready to back every va , 1
proposition for the good of the industry and the Territory.
At th meeting yesterday the group discussed the problems
of wag.- and hour regulations, and next week will renew its dis
cus iu:o of pr.orities and allocations — all vital to the industry;,

days, the service to which the Miner's Association is dedicated

TRANSPLANTED GERMANS
In a move to erect a barrier to
Tartar invasion, Russia’s Cath
erine the Great invited some
8.000 Germans to settle along the
Volga in 1762. Catherine herself
was the daughter of a Prussian
1 marshal.
Today descendants of these set
I tiers comprise about two-thirds
1 of the 600,000 inhabitants of an
i autonomous republic of the So
viet Union.
The Soviet declared recently
that the area had become a ha-,
ven for Nazi spies and saboteurs
and that the population was "cov
ering up enemies of the Soviet
people.” It directed that about
401.000 persons be resettled 1,600
to 2,000 miles farther east in Si
beria.
With the railroads already bur
dened by war needs DoWitt Mac
kenzie, news analyist, said the
“imagination bogs down in try
ing to envisage this trek.” Here
is data on some other famous
treks of history:
March To the Promised Land
I raclites, said by some sources
to number 600,000 men plus wo
men and children, left Egypt and
wandered for 40 years before
they reached the River Jordan.
The Long March of Chinese Reds
In 1934, some 90,000 Chinese
1 Communist troops, hard-pressed
by Chiang Kai-shek's regular
forces, retreated by foot back
through the Chinese hinterland.
Twenty thousand ended up a
year,later at Shensi in the north
west after a march of 6.000 miles.
They crossed 18 mountain ranges
and 24 rivers.
Nazi Germany’s Mass Transfers
•When Germany agreed in 1939
that the Baltic states and eastern
i Poland were within the Russian
sphere, she began moving the
115.000 Germans in the Baltic
States and 20,000 in eastern Po
land to the fatherland.
A LITTLE RUSSIAN
GOES A LONG WAYS
CAMP PENDLETON. Va. — A
little knowledge of Russian com
j es mighty 'handy in this mod
| orn Army, according to Sgt.
John J. McGrath, 244th C. A.
Venturing into enemy territory
on a recent night maneuver, Sgt.
McGrath came uvon Lieut. Kevin
C. Sheard of 2nd Bn. Hq. The
lieutenant didn’t see him in the
dark, but heard his rustle of the 1
bushes.
“Who’s there?” asked the lieu
tenant.
Remembering that 2nd Bn. Hq.
is noted for its great number of
soldiers of Russian descent, Sgt.
McGrath answered with a heavy
Russian accent.
“Oh, its you, Cpl. Mitchell,”
said Lieut. Sheard, as he walked
over. Sgt. McGrath promptly cap
tured him.
NEW CABINET TO BE
FORMED IN ICELAND
—
REYKJAVIK—Members of the
government of Iceland handed in
their resignations but the pre-|
mier anounced that the resigned
officers will remain in their po-'
sitions until another cabinet is
formed.
The reason for the resignations
is said to be because of disagree
ments over ways to meet, the ris-j
ing cost of living and higher sal.
aries caused by the great influx
of American and British troops
to the island.
