Legislators Discuss Liquor, Labor and Mining Problems
CONTROVERSIAL LABOR BILL
IS NOW I P TO THE SENATE
SEN. FRAWLEY ATTACKS BILL
(By The Associated Press)
JUNEAU, March 11 — With liquor legislation, appro
priation and the mining tax dominating the closing days of
the Legislature, which ends next Thursday, the Senate and
House met Sunday in joint session on the liquor bill.
A favorable measure is similar to the present system,
with authority vested in a Board of Liquor Control, but with
a license officer and two deputies, to further lighten reg
ulations.
Appropriations passed by the House are now in the
senate for considerable revision. Both houses are in wide
difference over the mining tax,
The controversial labor bill, which passed the house,
is now up in the senate. Senator Frawley from the Sec
ond Division in offering amendments to it declared in no un
certain limits that the bill was obnoxious:
“And conceived in the mind of a commend who never
did a day’s work, or rarely ever. Its purpose is to stir up
trouble and allow agitators to go around and incite honest
workmen to unrest.”
Brunnelle thought there was nothing wrong with the
bill. The House approved the Senate bill to eliminate
drunkedness and boisterous conduct from public places.
The solons will give the Legislative Ball next Wednes
day night, according to the present plans.

—Fighting one of the greatest bat
tles in his career, Max Schmelling
put himself squarely in line for a
championship match with Max Baer
in June, by beating handsome Steve

helplessness, in nine rounds Sunday

ering him at will and putting him
down three times for the count of
nine, in the sixth round, while the
crowd pleaded continually that the
fight be stopped

ring taking more punishment until
the referee stopped the bout, after
about one minute of fighting in the
ninth round .
Schmelling weighed 189 and Hamas
190 pounds The fight was sched
iled for twelve rounds. In the
dressing room Hamas offered no
alibi: "I simply ran into a better
man," he said.
But when Sehmelling went over
In shake hands with Steve and at
tempted to console his beaten rival,
Hamas snapped: "That's all right,
but there’ll be another time and I'll
have my revenge."
Charley Harvey. Hamas manager
said that his charge had sprained a
ligament in his left arm a week ago.
A German physician admitted he
had treated llamas within the i.:i t
five days.
It was learned reliably that Haei
manager Ancil Hodman had been
cabled an offer of three hundred
thousand dollars for Schmelling

UNLESS TRENDS ARE DISTURBED
SEVEN ML NDREI) THOUSAND WILL
HAVE OBTAINED JOBS MARCH 31
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. March 11 — Declaring that produc
tion in March was definitely ascending, the United States
Chamber of Commerce said, that if trends of the first week
persist, the results from the month will demonstrate the
continuation of a substantial improvement over a four
months period. Unless the trends are disturbed, it said
that seven hundred thousand workers will have obtained
jobs between January 1st and March 31st.
The work leliel' bill started its seventh week in the
senate, facing fresh delays in threats of Huey Long to force
the senate to test his proposed investigation of Farley.
Administration leaders prepared to resort to drastic mea
sures if Lon hold ■ the floor in an effort to “try his case” in
the Senate in the face of an adverse committee report on his
inquiry resolution
Tlie fight over the NRA grew hot with Richberg and
Borah Hinging dialp criticisms at each other in the subject
of monopoly. Richberg said that Borah, if given a chance,
would help “lead us back to chaos.” Borah called Rich
berg a friend of monopoly and “ a pronounced foe of labor
and small business.”
WASHINGTON, March 11 — Thomas said that it is
along the lines of what we have been clamoring for, when
he praised the plan as a step toward one single type of cur
rency and concentration in the hands of the government.
The power to issue money under the treasury plan will
deprive national banks of the power to issue currency
against certain government bonds a right which they have
had since it was created after the Civil War.
