MEMBER RESS PRICE TEN CENTS IATED OF ASSOC EARCH STARTED FOR ACTOR’S WIFE, DEAD OR ALIVE GAFFNEY HERE FOR CAMPAIGN FOR AUDITOR Democratic Nominee, Pio- neer Legislator, Is Con- fident of Winning —_— ] On a campaign tour that has carried him from his Home in Nome through the Fourth and- Third Di- visions, Thomas Gaffney, Demo- cratic candidate for Territorial Auditor, arrived here last night to open his vote drive in this Division. He is cognizant of the fact that he is facing one of the hardest) tests in his long career in Alaska, but he is confident he will be re- turned a winner in the November election. “I have found vpters in all the communities I have visited recep- tive to my candidacy, and I might say, to the Democratic ticket gen- erally. In the past year, elections in the States have shown a sweep- ing trend away from the party now in power and several Republican strongholds have gone Democratic. | That same tendency is unquestion- ably present in this Territory and its result will be notable in the approaching election,” he declared. Pioneer Legislator Mr. Gaffney is well known throughout Alaska and particularly so here. He was a member of the| first Alaska Legislature in 1913 énd was active in the passage of the first eight-hour day law as applied to the mining industry in the “Ter- ritory wi is still effective. He was‘a member of the 1927 Legislature and achieved Territory- wide prominence for his leatlership in the fight against the notorious Controller Bill in the lower House. His speech against that measure was hailed as ome.of the strongest ever made in the losal Legislature. He has resided in Alaska for the past 30 years, in Seward Peninsula towns, principally’. at Nome. He has been engaged continuously in the mining industry. Just prior to beginning his campaign, he turned over a promising property on Sun- set Ureek near Nothe to & develop- ment company which is now op- erating on the ground.

A study of 550 motkers engaged in wage-earning occupations in Cleveland discloses, the department of labor says, that a large majority work because of economic neces~ sity. In 295 cases the husbands were living with their wives, 119 women were widows, 62 were divorced and 46 had been deserted. In 13 cases the husbands were in institutions. Of the 205 women whose hus- bands were living at home, 187 said "that their reason for going to work was the insufficient income of the husbands, 3 Personal preference was the rea- | son of 34 while thé husbands of | 33 were ill and the husbands of 26 were jobless. In 80 per cent of the cases where insufficient income was given as the reason, the husbands received less than $30 a week. The famil- |les studied averaged 2.3 children. Most of the 550 women were do- ing fulltime work away from home, with 249 of them in domestic work |or personal service. FPactories gave employment to 224 others, 51 were saleswomen in stores, 17 were office workers, six |were in professional occupations and 45 were employed at night.
