GENERAL STRIKE OF LABORERS CALLED 3 = Men Employed on Government Rail- atement of offi- met Miss Lambert her home Wed- la It road in Alaska Demand In- crease in Wages. Seattle, Wash., Feb. 12—A general strike of laborers employed on the construction of the government rail- road between Anchorage and the Ma- lanuska coal fields in Alaska has been led, according to the latest ad- vices received here from Seward, the Alaskan headquarters of the Alaska engineering commission. The men demand an increase in the wages of conmimon laborers to fifty cents an hoér. The minimum provided in the wage schedule issued by the govern- ment was thirty-five cents an hour afid men on track laying gangs were receiving thirty-seven and one-half cents an hour. The strike was precipitated by sixt track layers in the camp at Peter's Creek who quit last Sunday when their demand for increased pay was refused. »Licut, Frederick Mears, U. S. A the only member of the Alaska e gineering commission remaining in the north during the winter, has de- clined to discuss the strike but offi- cials in the Seward offices of the commission were quoted as saving that the men employed by the government were receiving much higher pay with sliorter hours than railroad construc- tion workmen employed by private in- terests in Alaska. They anticipated no trouble in filling the strikers’ places. Direct communication with Seward has been interrupted several days by a break in the military cable con- necting Seward and Valde: EX-CONVICT INJURED .Waterbury, Feb. 12.-—Joseph Cen- esky, 31, who was pardoned from the state prison at Wethersfield a few months ago after serving 11 years of a life sentence for murder, was fright- fully injured at the factory of the Scovill Mfg.
