SWIFT'S JAW And Now Seattle Commercial Club May Join in Demand on Wash- ington for Scalp of Officer Who Impedes Progress in Alaska. A resolution blistering hot has been drawn and will be acted upon by the Seattle Commercial club, at its next regular business session, calling upon the authorities at Washington to fire John W. Swift, disbursing agent, with the government coal-testing expedition at Knik, Alaska. When Paul Revere rode through the night to warn the minute men of the British advance, the sparks from his horse's flying hoofs kindled a nation. When Jack Dalton hung a haymaker on the jaw of John W. Swift, up in Alaska recently, it did more than put that obstreperous and obnoxious tro ble-maker on Nis back for the count It bounced off the jaw of and traveled sev. eral thousane miles in a south. easterly direction to Washington, D. C, where it agitated the rock ing chairs of sev- eral fat admirais. It = ricocheted off the navy de |partment and caught M. Guggen- ‘heim a severe, though glancing, | blow In the solar | plexus. It bowled over @ number of politicians. And even Wall street felt the jar of it. It was a mighty wallop. And, naturally, | attention is direct: }ed to the man | who packs such a devastating and jfar-re ching punch. You will kindly visualize a thick | little man of 57, who behaves as | though he had a atiff steel spring, heavily charged with — electricity, lin his back. He is he best pac and one of the best cussere in Alas! When Dr. seph Holmes, U.

Swift, government disbursing agent. Now, this Is the way the work is lafd out: The best mining engi neer that money could employ—a Seattie man—dug the coal. job Is to get it on bob sleds and over the snow, through the primeval forest to Knik, where the warships will be waiting in Cook’s inlet to try it, Swift was employed to pay the bills. Dalton knew by heart the history of the Bering test That was a navy test, and it failed. You'd think the rocking-chair admirals would want good, cheap coal for their ships to burn, But It almost seems as if they enjoy paying top prices to the coal barons for West Virginia coal for the Pacific fleet Anyhow, the Bering test failed—failed miserably, For one thing, somebody left the Bering coal in sacks where the rain fell on it. The sacks froze stiff. They had to be dynamited. Then somebody else left the sacks on the tideflat, where they became soaked with salt water. AND SOMEHOW A LOT OF SLATE GOT MIXED UP IN THE COAL. AND, OF COURSE, IT WOULDN'T BURN, | “You must do this and you mustn't do that,” said Mr, Swift. | _ “There's only one boss on this job,” said Dalton, “and that's | | went And this time there'll be no coal left where the tidewater will get i There are two ways to bring the coal to Knik-—one by the new-cut | trail and the other over the ice on the Matanuska river, But the latter way is perilous and .blizzard-swept. Swift, toiling diligently to hinder and delay the work he was paid | to ald, favored the river route. Or, as it seems now, he only pretended | to favor it. So, when Dalton’s men set to work to cut the trail “The government won't pay you for that work.” | “If the government won't pay them,” said Dalton, “1 will |to Knik, where you belong.” * | One word led to another. was content to annoy. Finally, in a mament of exasperation, Dalton swung on | knocking him down. | Maybe you will say It was not a diplomatic thing to do. But subse | quent events prove it was exactly the sort of shirt-sleeges diplomacy the | situation demanded, . | For at Washington the rocking-chair admirals are now pretef@ding an enthusiasm for Alaska coal which they do not feel The trail is cut. The coal is moving. Dalton, begrudging a stingy hour for sleep, drives his men mercilessly, and sets the pace himself. ° Swift told them: Get back Swift, balked in hfs efforts to obstruct, Swift's jaw,
