(Special Correspondence) —The Twenty-first amendment to the Constitution, repealing the Eighteenth Amendment, will apply to Alaska just as soon as Delegate Dimond can rush a bill through Congress repeal- ing the bone dry law and the Volstead Act in its applica- tion to the Territory. The bone dry law was re- pealed by the Territorial Leg- islature when it met last Spring, but a Federal Judge CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 22—Sec- retary of Labor Perkins has a 10- point program for improvement for labor which if adopted she says would pay dividends in production, health and satisfaction to individ- ual workers.

The Legislature is em- powered to delegate its authority in that respect to any board of commission which it may create and it is expressly provided that the Board of Liquor Control cre- ated By the 1933 Legislature shall retain all powers conferred upon it by the act which established it. Penalties are prescribed for these violating the rules and regula- tions which may be decided upon by the board. The maximum pen- alty would be a year in jail or a fine of $500. When Congress will act upon the measure cannot be foretold with any degree of certainty. Speaker Rainey had promised to bring up the District of Columbia bill reg- ulating the sale of intoxicating li- quor and repealing the qVolstead Act the second day of the coming session. If that plan is followed through the Delegate is hopeful that action can be taken on the Alaska bill at the same time. Of course, the Senate would then have to consider the bill and from there it will go to the President for ap- proval.

And then just watch the way the house will hold that warm and comfortable tempera- ture when you bank the fire with a small amount of Carbonado Coking Coal. That’s why Indian Coat “To Put It There” and Carbonado Coking Coal “To Hold It” is the Northwest’s favorite economical heating recipe. It should be a favorite in Juneau as well because it is a great combination and sells for practically the same as in Two Holidays Are Declared By President WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.— President Roosevelt yesterday extended a full Saturday holi- day before Christmas and New Years to all Government work- ers, including those outside of Washington, D.
