Mr. Oien represented prospective buyers in most of his examinations though in a few cases he examined properties for both the owners and those interested them.

This organization has been forced to call a strike as a means of last resort after all other means of adjusting existing labor differences hetween employer and employes along the waterfront have failed. “In thus exercising its constitu- tional right to strike, the I. L. A. wishes it to be known that it is a law-abiding organization, and thal all of its members have been ad- vised to conduct themselves dur- ing the present labor difficulties as law-abiding American citizens. There are elements associated with the maritime industry whose pur- pose, it seems to be is to create disturbances and incite violence in @ manner calculated to bring dis- credit upon the I. L. A. and its members. We therefore take this means to announce publicly that we will exert all our efforts to maintain the peace and observe jthe law until the present contro- wversy with our employers has been , as we hope it will be in a very short while. | ~ “In offering our utmost coopera- to. the end ihat peace may maintained along the water- we wish it to be known and that we canpot be held “for acts that may be mble minor- | ANSWERS EIGHT ALARMS The Fairbanks Fire Department answered eight fire alarms in April, | vsing five hand chemicals, 2 large chemical tanks, and 19 lengths of hose for 30 minutes. — .- —— FAIRBANKS CASH BALANCE Municipal Clerk Charles W.
