CITY COUNCIL HOLDS ITS
REGULAR WEEKLY MEET
The regular meeting of the city
t**rancil was held in the clerk’s office
last night because of the frigidity
of the City Hall during this cold
spell. All the aldermen were pre
sent when the Mayor called the
meeting to order. The minutes of
the preceding meeting were read and
approved. A letter was read from
W. W. Shorthill, Secretary to the
Governor asking that he be informed
of the number of motion picture
theaters in Nome.
A portion of a private communi
cation from former Mayor Blake to
Councilman Rose was read at the
request of the latter, because it
showed where the bonds of the City
Clerk were located, namely with
Carl Lomen in the District Clerk’s
office.
The City Health officer made an
official report and stated that the
garbage dumping ground had been
properly staked and marked. He
had inspected the bakeries, restau
rants, etc., within the city, and had
suggested a few alterations in one
or two instances. The usual month
ly vital statistics were also furnished
Councilman Wesley reporting for
the Finance and Building Committee
brought the matter of placing two
cells within the basement of the
Fire Department building. After a
protest from M’Allister who said
that it would be condemned by the
Grand Jury, and an explanation that
it was only temporary, the chairman
of this committee was instructed to
have this work done as well as that
of removing the bell from the old
to the new firehouse.
Councilman M’Allister reported
that the fire fighting plant was in
good condition and that they had re
jponded to one call last month, dam
age done: none.
The city left the matter of pro
viding a competent nurse for the
infant baby of the late Mrs. Davi
son with the Health Committee and
the Health Officer.
Councilman M'Allister made an
exhaustive report upon the fire
escape provisions in the hotels and
rooming houses of the city. He com
plained that there were no cards in
some of the hotels, notifying guests
where the Are escapes were located
and this should be remedied. He
was instructed to notify the hotel
keepers to make this provision.
A lady appeared before me coun
cil asking that the taxes oil' her
building be reduced. The Mayor de
clined to consider it, but volunteered
to pay half the taxes himself which
proved an acceptable way out of the
difficulty. After some unimportant
routine business the council then
adjourned.

COURT SWATS LABOR
RIGHT ON THE HEAD
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8.—
The courts again swatted labor an
other. This is an old case and the
United States Supreme Court it was
that said to labor “Tag! You’re it!”
The Supreme Court today decided
that Dietrich Loewe and Co. hatters
of Danbury, Connecticutt, were en
titled to attach twenty thousand dol
lars interest money of the hatters in
savings banks account. The Danbury
company holds a three hundred and
fifty thousand judgment against the
Danbury hatters union and hundreds
have been evicted, their homes sold
to satisfy this judgment under the
Sherman law. Now the last few
cents between the widows and others
of the former strikers is to be grab
bed up against the labor union un
der the anti-trust law.
STATE DEPARTMENT IS
ASKING EXPLANATION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8.—
The State Department is interrogat
ing Ambassador Gerard relative to
his utterances at a Berlin dinner
wherein the piece de resistance was
a stag bearing an olive branch on
its antlers. Gerard dwelt upon the
exceptionally cordial relations be
tween the United States and Ger
many and the “identity of interest
manifested by President Wilson and
the Kaiser” in bringing about peace.
It is felt here that such remarks
LABOR WILL CONVENE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8.—
Heads of district organizations as
well as executive leaders will meet
in this city to discuss all the poss
ible contingencies arising out ot
the Adamson bill, the railroad crisis
and the effort to force through the
arbitration measure.
The possibility of action combined
with the brotherhoods is also to be
considered at such a conference.

tuation between the two countries
