SATURDAY 1 P.M. Edition “ALL THE NEWS THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE i A SATURDAY 1 P.M. Edition ALL THE TIME” [ VOL. LXVIIL, NO. 10,546 JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURI?.\\, APRIL 5, 1947 _ "~ MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS Disabled Plane From Alaska In Safe Landing SOFT COAL MINES ARE T0 REOPEN Safety Ceriii—i—(ales Are Be- ing lssued - Six - Day Mourning Period Ends (By THu «sSOCIATED PRESS) Only a scattered handful of the 518 soft coal mines ordered closed by the Government for safety rm-“ sons were certiiied today as ready, to resume operation Monday but a coal mines administration spokes- man in the rich Pittsburgh dis- trict predicted “a flood of last minute certifications.” Another Federal Official predict- ed 25 per cent of the mines deemed unsafe would be ready to reopen at the end of the AFL-United Mine Workers' six-day mourning period, for the victims of the Cen- tralia, Ill, mine disaster. The 518 mines in 19 states normally pro- duce 616,000 tons daily, or about one quarter oi the nation’s total. Meanwhile, as the mourning per- jod neared an end the Baltimore and Ohio and the Western Mar land railroads said their coal traf- fic in Maryland, Pennsylvania' and West nia had dropped sharply during the past week. - Elsewhere, the greatest effect of the work stoppage by the nation’s 400,000 soft coal miners apparently was in steel mills where some plants were forced to curtail pro- duction for lack of coke The coke-producing beehive ovens are manned by UMW members. Indus- try generally appeared to be bless ed with adequate stockpiles to see it through the week. ———————— TAX TEST (ASE IS FILED BY COAL (0. AGAINST TERRITORY The Territory of Alaska is the defendant in a suit filed yesterds in U. S. District Court here by Evan Jones Coal Co., of Jonesville, Alaska. case to decide the legality of the 1, of 19 wholesale tax levied by the Territory under the Veterans Bonus Act. The coal attorney, company, through its Edward F. Medley, charges that it has paid to the Territory the amount of $4,802.02 under protest. The company main- tains that it should be exempt from the tax because of its sales of coal to the U. S. Governmer OUT FOR DISCHARGE Nine U. 8.

The Washington Merry - Go- Round| By DREW PKARSON WASHINGTON - The entire na- tion was deeply saddened by the tragic death of 111 ccal miners at Centralia, and it is devoutly to be hoped that the disaster will prove a lesson to mine operators who have resisted Federal mine inspec- tion. However, it is sometimes healthy to see whether there is any blood | on the hands of those who charge other people with murder, and a check-up on John L. Lewis's record makes one wonder whether his memory is short or whether he had tongue-in-cheek when he hurled the murder charge at Secretary Krug. I so happens that Centralia, 1., js in the center of a coal field where John L. Lewis staged one of the bloodiest civil wars in labor ‘history against the Progressive miner When it ended, 21 of Lewis's rivals were dead. And, un- Jike the Centralia mine disaster, they did not die ac dentally. Page aiter page Of testimony ‘taken by the Illinois Mining Com- mission show how Lewis's hench- men carried on this bloody battle. As conclusive proof that this war had Lewis's blessing, he actu- ally paid $300,000 out of the United (Continued on Page Four) The suit is filed as a test| 'HENDRICKSONAND 'DELAYS (COMCLMNTARE ™ WORLD May Avert FLIGHT Walkouls 10ld Council Winds Up Busi- | ness — New Council : | i : ‘ 'Milton Reynolds Expected Proposal Is Designed fo' to Hop Off Sometime Block ""National Par- This Afternoon alysis” Strikes i S ‘ - Holds First Session | | Waino Hendrickson was sworn in | for his second term as Mayor of | Juneau last night, along with Ed ‘Nielsen for a second term as Coun- - - | ciima and newly-elected Council- NEW YORK, April 5, |men J.
