In his telegram to Ickes, the Governor said in part: “Alaska's interest is to see that transportation is not interrupted. She is not particularly interested in the manner of the settlement of the strike, bue she is vitally interested that the strike be settled. Can anything be done to help?” No Response to Date His first telegram was sent to Secretary Ickes too late yesterday for it to be received in Washing- ton befcre this morning. His sec- ond was sent early this morning At midafternoon today no re- sponse had been received, from either the Secretary or Gov. Mar- tin. The time elapsed, however, had been too short for a reply from Washington.
