suggested arbitration of their dif
ferences as a solution to contin
ued relations.

Joining with the major employ
ers, presented by the committee,
were the Alaska Steamship Com
pany, the Northland Transporta
tion Company, and the Alaska
Transportation Company. The
employers among other things,
object to continue the provision

joint control system,with a union
man at each port in charge of the
actual dispatching of men to jobs.

On Taxation
HAS ONE POINT
Says Administering Gov

Needs Humanity
(By The Associated Press)
| LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas, Aug
29—Senator Joe T.Robinson, dem
ocratic majority leader, charged
Republicans as “staking their last
hope on their ability to frighten
'the consumer.” Lashing back at
Governor Alf M. Landon’s attack
upon the administration’s tax
policies the new deal wheelhorse
asserted that President Roosevelt
was “handling the fiscal policies
'of government with concern for
the needs of humanity with ap
proved regard for federal credit.”
Replying to Landon’s Buffalo
speech, Senator Robinson said,
that Landon’s only definite and
concrete pronouncement intends
to pursue, if elected, was to pled
ge to “slash taxes on large cor
porations.”
J. W. ALBRIGHT WRITES DEATH
OF FORMER NOMEITES
LIVING SEATTLE
Mr. J. W. Albright, a former
prominent and well known law
yer in Nome, now residing in
Seattle and who suffered a stroke
of paralysis last April, writing to
O. D. Cochran democratic candi
date for Senator, in a letter dat
ed August 14th says, that his con
dition has improved and the pros
pects are encouraging for his ulti
mate complete recovery.
He also tells of the recent
deaths of A1 Fletcher, Allison
Bruner, Eugene Ayles and Sam
Archer, former residents of the
early days of Nome.
The name of A1 Fletcher will
bring back memories of when he
was actively engaged in the light
erage business at Teller and a
prominent member of the Arc
tic Brotherhood, and took an ac
tive interest in the basket ball &
indoor base ball games. It will
also be recalled that he married
Miss Mabel Searl, who was a
daughter of Dr. Searl.

'son Bruner, brings to mind an
other famous lawyer and good
sport always interested in mat
ters of civic pride and properly
; balanced entertainments. He was
a member of the law firm of the
three Bruner’s, the father and 2
sons, the other son being Elwood
who was elected to the Alaska
Legislature. Allison Bruner was
also a member of a celebrated
quartette in Nome in the early
days composed of Sam Cunning
ham, T. Thornquist Chas. Kemp,
and were also in evidence when
some worthy entertainment was
given.
Eugene Ayles, as most old tim
ers will recall, was associated
with the Alaska Banking & Safe
Deposit Company under Dr.Cabel
Whitehead’s regime. He was al
so a member of the A. B’s and
was actively engaged in the
sports carried on by the organi
zation during the years he was
in Nome.

Juneau Adopts
Ord iua nee For
Control 1 *
Measure Conforms to New Regu
lations Issued by Territorial
Liquor Control Board.
A liquor control ordinance was
passed by Juneau at the last meet
ing of the council, following in
detail the regulations recently
set up by the territorial liquor
control board. According to Ma
yor Goldstein, the ordinance was
passed in order that the city
might be able to enforce the ter
ritorial regulation. In the past
Juneau has had no ordinance
covering control of liquor sales.
The matter of limiting the num
ber of places where liquor is sold
was also brought up by the may
or, but Alderman William Reek
said that liquor selling is a legi
timate business and that the mat
ter of restraint of free trade
might enter into such action. A
similar opinion was expressed by
G. E. Kruse, and no action was
taken.
Jail Improvement Asked
The chief of police, Roy Hoff
man, asked the council to fix up
the jail so it would accomodate
women and care more adequately
for men prisoners. “If we could

SEATTLE, August 29—Mayor
Dore in a speech demanded that
William Randolph Hearst of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, make
peace with labor or “get out of
Seattle." He continued on a new
chord on the News Room Strike,
that “Hearst has got to get out
of Seattle until he makes terms
with labor; he is determined to
destroy the labor unions and I as
mayor won't stand by and watch
that happen in Seattle,” the may

that Alt, 1*1. Landon was placed

down labor.” ...
women we arrest for drunken
ness, up here and slap a 30 day
sentence on them, they would
not be so apt to do it again,” he
declared. “But the way is, we
have no place to keep them with,
the result when we arrest them
at night, by morning, when they
i are sobered up we have to turn
them loose.”
"There's something for the In
dian bureau to do something
about,” commented the mayor.
The chief replied that it was
customary among the Indians to
want to see Indian bureau offic
ials as quick as they sober up.
“We make arrangements to send
them back to Hoorah or where
ever they live, and the next time
they come to town we hove it all
to do over again,” he declared.
After considerable more discus
sion it was decided to have the
city engineer make an estimate
of the probable cost of remodel
ing the jail.
