WELCOME TO NEW OFFICIAL.
Valdez welcomes Judge W. A. Mun
ley, the new federal official who
comes as assistant to United States
District Attorney Spence, of this di
vision. He is welcomed not only as
a government official but as an Alas
kan whom the Department of Justice
has appointed to office. Judge Mun
ley has been a resident of Alaska for
fifteen years and has been promi
nently identified in the business de
velopment of Southeastern Alaska.
WILL STAY AMONG FRIENDS.
Guy B. Brubaker, who has acted as
assistant to the district attorney’s of
fice in this division for nearly a dec
ade, again entered private life today
when his successor qualified for the
position. Mr. Brubaker has been a
capable and conscientious official
during his long term in office and has
won the respect and esteem of both
the citizens and the officials with
whom he came in contact. It is pleas
ing to know that Mr. Brubaker’s tal
ents will not be lost to Alaska and
that he will continue to be a resident
of Valdez, where he will establish
himself in the practice of his profes
sion. It must be a keen satisfaction
to Mr. Brubaker to retire from office
after the many years knowing that
he has acquitted himself credibly of
his duties and at the same time add
ed to the number of his friends.

Reports That His Managers In
terfered With Investigation.
WASHINGTON, March 2.—The re
port of the commission appointed by
congress to investigate conditions in
the Colorado districts where strike*
have occurred has been received by
the House. The report severely crit
icises John D. Rockefeller and the
other owners of the mines, for their
refusal to arbitrate their cases.
The report of the commission states
the managers of the mines used every
measure possible to prevent the com
mittee from securing evidence as to
the working conditions under which
the men at work as well as their
living conditions. The companies are
also reported to have imported des
peradoes from other states to serve
as deputies in the strike districts and
that many murders have resulted in
the clashes with the strikers.
The commission, it is reported, will
urge a complete investigation of the
conditions in strike district by a fed
eral grand jury as a means of clear
ing the situation.
ASK PRESIDENT TO
SETTLE STRIKE
Ohio Miners Believe He Can Bring
Peace There As Was Accom

WASHINGTON, March 2.—Presi

the miners of the Eastern Ohio coal
district to intervene and bring about

accomplished in Colorado, through his
appointment of a federal commission.
The strike has been in progress for
several weeks with the mine owners
refusing to treat with the strike lead
ers or treat with them regarding the
establishment of a wage scale. The
agreement under which the miners
-worked expired last November but
the strike was not called as it was'
believed a peaceful settlement would
be effected.
