Action When President
W eakens on fight.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Chicago. Oct. 14 Because of Presi
dent Small's action in advising that
the operators' strike be stopped he
was suspended from the presidency of
the Telegraphers of America by the
executive hoard last night, the action
taking effect immediately. Orders
were sent to even union to continue
the strike.

but instead of spreading dismay among
the strikers the men are more deter
mined than ever to stick out for theii
demands. There is much abuse for
Small and skilful diplomacy will proba
bly be necessary to avert a split in the
ranks of the operators.

SAILORS BALL
’ GREAT SUCCESS
K very body went to the dance last
! night given by the sailors of the
I cruiser Buffalo and the exercises were
; prolonged until long after midnight.
| The room was somewhat cramped for
: the crowd but by placing the refresh
ment department in the annex it was
made possible for tin* dancers to move j
I around. A gayer crowd never as- j
* seinbled in Seward.
Long festoons of hunting intertwined
with (lags draped the walls and ceiling
SO CM miplotely that the dingy old hall j
wa> given a gorgeous ensemble. The 1
refreshment room was also handsomely j
decorated and the supply of refresh
ments was unlimited and unsurpass-j
able. The music, of course, was furn-j
: ished In the cruiser's inimitable or-1
chest rn.
Kariy in the evening the cruiser sent !
up a series of pyrotechnics, including’
candles, rockets ami Very signals in !
honor of Alaska's natal day. For tin*
ante purpose the national salute of
I t wenty one guns was tired In the cruiser
in the afternoon. This was an impres- j
sice event in a place like Seward and j
everybody suspended business to lis
ten as the reverberations of the heavy
guns echoed over distant hills.
Transplant Belated Crop
Summer Bertha brought in -40 sacks
of oat* which were sowed on the beach
1 at Seldovia two years ago when the
Alaska Central kindergarten was busy
throwing money at the birds. The
biiaU, Indians andmushers all failed to
annex these oats aud they sprouted
where they lay. but the mellow > in
shine and joyous rains >1 twenty-four
months have failed to make them
; head and ripen in the sacks and that
particular brand of experimental
farming in abandoned, at least until
another general manager and chief en
gineer with a retinue of infant under
lings comes out from the east with a
few loose millions to play at railroad
j building. __
Steamer Bertha Sails
Steamer Bertha reached port Mon.
! day morning and sailed for Seattle
at midnight. She had a hard trip
from Seldovia, bucking a head wind
all the way which seemed to carry her
backwards occasionally. Her coal is
poor and she had hard work making
steam of it. She passed Seldovia re
turning from Homer at 10 o'clock. Sat
urday morning and entered Resur
rection bay at 10 Sunday evening af
ter a fierce trip of thirty-six hours.
Just as she entered the bay her steam
! failed her and she pounded around in
the bay all night trying to reach the
i dock. She made slower time coming
up the bay than outside although the
wind was not so high, because her
steam failed. Evidently the coal pas
sers struck a horse in the coal seam
about that time.
A majority of the miners returning
to Fairbanks from the Innoko district
classify it as a promising camp and be
lieve it will become a great one.
