STRIKE ZONE SPREADS TO IRON
MINES; STILL ON AT SEATTLE
X _________
IRONWOOD, Mich., July 24.—A genral strike in the
Gogedic Iron range was threatened today, when miners
from two pits struck, demanding a $6 per day wage for six
hours’ work.
The iron workers are being organized by the Indus
trial Workers of the World.
DEADLOCK IN SEATTLE CAR STRIKE
SEATTLE. July 24.—Striking street car men offered
to return to work today leaving everything in the hands of
a board of arbitration, but the company again refused to
deal with members of organized labor.
-^-•
The spread of strikes throughout the country by aid
of the I. W. W. during the present war crisis is not unlike
the strike situation in England in 1914 following the Brit
ish declaration of war.
Torough investigation is under way covering all out
breaks including Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Washington
and Michigan and it is probable that when the source of
funds and the men to whom funds are paid to carry on this
war against the government at home are unearthed, it will
end more suddenly than it began.—(Ed.)

POOH BAH OF
i INLET DOWNED
; Submits Ultimatum to Conqueror of
Cordova and Is Called, but
Subject Revolts
For a time today it seemed as if
the baseball series between Seward
and Anchorage for the championship
of Southwestern Alaska would be can
celled, but the Seward and Anchorage
| Chambers of Commerce have the mat
ter in hand and may reach terms on
which the games can be played.
When members of the Chamber
were at Anchorage recently, Harry
i Hoben, manager of the local team and
member of the Board of Directors, to
gether with other members, had a con
ference with the Anchorage ball chiefs
in which they suggested a series for
the 28th, 29th and 30th. At that time
it was stated by Hoben that, coming
just before the first of the month, such
a schedule would possibly prevent a
large crowd from going over to see the
series and he suggested playing Aug
ust 4, 5 and f»th. It was agreed that
either series of dates was satisfactory
with Anchorage.
All went well and arrangements
| have been made for the big expedition
! to leave here next week. So great is
the general interest in the series that
a crowd is coming through on the
Alaska from Cordova to see the con
test.
This morning the whole situation
went up in the air when Fred Tracy,
erstwhile Pooh Bah of Anchorage
baseball circles, called up Hoben, the
“Conqueror of Cordova,” and said,
the big games will be played the 28th,
29th and 30th, or not at all.”
You can’t bluff Hoben and he said:
“Not at all suits me.”
Over in the Inlet they held a coun
cil of war and shortly a member of
the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
called up and said that a revolution
! had followed receipt of Hoben’s an
swer to Tracy’s ultimatum and that
the dictator had been hurled from his
throne.
The provisional governments under
direction of the council of commission
and laborers’ delegates, sent word that
further information would be forth
coming through Premier Westerman,
of the Chamber of Commerce tonight.
IiOcallv, the matter was placed in
the hands of the Seward’s Chamber’s
directorate.
The overland transport service has
broken down, under stress of new^con
struction, and It. J. Weir, head of this
division, threw his forces into the
breach in favor of games beginning
August 4th.
“I want to see those games,” said
Weir, “and I can’t go now. Big shots
were fired at Mile 12’2 and Mile 14
; yesterday and the track will be block
j ed for a week.”
The local fans got together in Cot
I ter’s store this morning and sent
greetings to the Anchorage fans, urg
ing them to use all possible remedies
for cold feet.

SEWARD MAN JUMPED
OVERBOARD OFF DORA
% ■
VALDEZ.—Advices received at the
marshal’s office state that Ben Garrity,
who was working his way south from
Seward on the steamer Dora, became
insane and jumped overboard from
that vessel while in about latitude 58
north, longtitude 142 west.
Garrity boarded the vsesel on June
27 at Seward to work his passage
southward. Three days later, at about
2:30 p. m., he suddenly became insane
and jumped overboard. The alarm was
at once given and the ship put about
in an attempt to resue him, but he
undoubtedly sank almost immediate
ly, for no trace of him was found.
The ship was bucking a heavy sea and
a strong easterly gale at the time,
which somewhat hampered the quick
movement of the vessel. After spend
ing some time in the search for the
! unfortunate, the vessel proceeded on
its way to Seattle. Garrity was an
American, about 35 years of age.
