On the way here the Chicha- gof took on gas at Yakutat. Pas- sengers were taken from Cordova to Seward by the Kruzoff, piloted by Alex Holden. { After its return here yesterday the Chichagof made a special char- ter trip to Sitka and return and this morning left for Ketchikan (Continuea Irox year from date. It is further pro- vided that if in the meantime the price of gold declines io a point be- low $27.00 per ounce, this increase in pay shall cease to be effective. “Any change of wage required by the adoption of a Code for Gold Mining is to be based on the wage before the increase.” The wage increase, it is unoffi- cially estimated, on the basis of ‘ast year's expenditure, will add ap- proximately $130,000 per year to the company's payroll expenses. These totaled in 1933 about $1,- 300,000. ! Miners Ratify Agreement The conferences were inaugurated several days ago when representa- tives of the company employees were received by Mr. Metzgar for a discussion of wages and other mat- ters connectéed with the operations. They submitted a program of wage ncreases, etc., which were studied a few days by the company’s of- ficials. | A counter offer was then sub- mitted by Mr. Metzgar for the company. At meetings called for to- day and yesterday by the Alaska Mine Workers' Union, a local or- ganization formed several weeks ago by employees of the Alaska Juneau, the employees voted by a 300d majority to accept the com- pany’'s offer. | Hours Up to Code While there was some discussion of hours of labor, due to the fact that a national code for the gold mining industry has been drawn | and is now under consideration by | the NRA authorities in Washing- | ton, it was agreed by both the em- ployees and the company that it | would be more satisfactory to leave that question up to the code mak- ers and the NRA. All NRA codes | heretofore adopted and approved have featured sections providing 'or maximum hours of labor as well | as minimum labor. All of the conferences over the matter, it was declared by both ! sides, were marked by extreme cor- diality and the utmost considera- | tion. I Mr. Metzgar said at the time of | announcing the agreement this aff> ernoon he had not been officially informed of its .acceptance. How- ever, leaders of the miners’ organ- ization informed a representative of The Empire it had been ratified. e T HALIBUTERS | SELL, SEATTLE SEATTLE, May 29.—Two halibut schooners arrived today from the western banks, the Normandy with 36,000 pounds and Explorer with 36,000 pounds, both selling for 7 and 6 cents a pound.

The offer, added, Alaska Juneau stock, which are worth on current quotations about $1,000,000. The properties involved embrace Perseverance mine, Thane with its docks, warehouses, housing ac- commodations, shops and other equipment, the power plants at; Annex Creek and Salmon Creek | and power transmission lines. All of this property, except the power plants, has been lying idle since the Alaska Gastineau discontinucd operations some 13 years ago. Sold at Auction Bonds of the original company, falling payment of interest payment, made the foundation for a receivership action filed here two years ago. A re-eivership was granted and E. Gustonguay appointed receiver. m August, 1932, at a public auc- | tion held at Thane, the entire holdings were purchased by G. E. Cleveland, Asistant Cashier of B. M. Behrends Bank, representing raditors who later organized the' Alaska Mining and Power Com- paay under a general mining and power company charter. Since then various times there have been | | rumors that the Perseverance mine was to be reopened and a new mill | erected at Thane for resumed op- erations, none of which, however, cver materialized. Principals Come Here That the deal is pending, as outlined by the Associated Press, conhrmed here Loday by L.

He confirmed, also, the terms of the tender by his own firm. He said he did not | care to discuss anything in con-| nection with the probable develop? ‘mem program at this time, adding |when the deal was consummated |it would be time to talk about |plans for re-opening Perseverance. He did say, however, that it would mean enlargement of the Alaska Juneau's local payroll and general | operations. P. R. Bradley, President of the | Alaska Juneau, and J. D."Gengler, heavy stockholder in the Alaska Mining and Power Company and ,also stockholder in the Alaska Ju- neau, are expected to come here shortly in connection with the pending deal, he added. They plan to leave Seattle next Saturday | morning for Juneau for an in- determinate stay. l DULLEST DAY OF TEN YEARS, STOCK MARKET 'Sales Less than Any Day Since June 1924—Ax- ! mour Only Issue Up NEW YORK, iay 29. — Stoeks idied today in the dullest session in ten days when traders deserted the market for Memorial Day re- cess.
