advance the required 70 expense money
and mako the trio under contract with
tne Fairbanks Mine Owners' associa
tion.
The contract that is offered by Rud-
ens?y oros., tnrougn tne Hansen agency,
is for payment of tho ruling wages, SS
per day and board for a 10-hour day,
and a full season's work from April 10.
Mr. Rudensey, representing the Ta
nana Mlh Owners' association, said:
"The recent strike in the Tanana dis
trict is practically over and most of the
men nave gone back to work at IS per
day and board. But the trouble is that
there are not enough men in the dis
trict to secure tne production of gold
de&ired by the mine owners. The strike
was over the question of a closed shoD.
and an eight hour day. The mine own
ers about a month ago reached an agree
ment with the strikers, and It was set
tled that the wages should be 16 Der day
for 10 hours. Owing to the brevity of
tne season ror outsiae woric tne opera
tors insist on wonting iu hours.
"The miners asked for elbht-hour
snirts, ana uaimea mat three shirts
could be put on. The operators said
this would not be practical as some timed
must De given eacn aay to Keen ma
chinery in oracr. it was believed the
trouble was settled, but the miners
refused to work with men who did not
belong to the union, arid a strike was
declared.
Many of the men have conceded that
some of the demands were unreasonable
and .have gone .back to work. The con
ditions of work and living are good.
The men get good meals, and these with
the wage of $5 makes their earnings
practically $8 per day.
"The operators are obliged to hire
all the men they can get, regardless of
union affiliations, to operata to capacity.
They have therefore made a stand for
the open shop rule. Last year the men
we sent ui to Alaska went on a guaran
