ALASKA C'RCULATION THAN THAT OF AN’ WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES IN THE SALMON DISPUTE In pointing out today with some optimism that a settlement is probable in the dispute between the canned salmon industry and its employees, Joseph Cheney, Federal Conciilator in the controve raging in Seattle, makes the point which actua making trouble loom more seriously on the horizon he says, “This wouldn’t be a serious labor dispute,” if it were not for the time element which makes it extremely serious. Possibly the worst phase of the whole situation is the fact that Alaska derives much of revenue from the case tax on salmon. If none is packed it means no revenue.” The that from the eliminated fish revenue to the Territory now such that large sums of money already have been lost to industry in Alaska. The lumber industry which supplies the traps wire manufacturers, transportation companies, all are losing fact is aside curtailed or the time is s for the supply houses, a regularly anticipated part of their revenue due to the holdup of the salmon industry. And cqually serious, Af not more 5o, the persons employed in those industries are- losing their means, of _livelihood. A fairly sound business probably can stand the curtail- ment and 108s of business; the Territory probably can severely curtailed but faces a pretty struggle along if its revenue is the average person who works for wage dark picture when his source of income is ¢ut off That at the present time is the most serious aspect to the Seattle.

Daily the situation becomes more acute for those people as ultimately it will become more acute for all persons and businesses ip, the Terriory unless an agreement is reached quickly in men are themselves dispute their means FIREARMS BILI, AND SPORTSMEN (l \\" Sportsmen in considerable numbers here and| throughout the country are concerned over a piece of proposed legislation now before Congress dealing with firearms. The measure, as we understand 1t, was ad- vanced by the Department of Justice primarily to further its war against criminals, and would require the registration by the owners of every shotgun, rifle and pistol owned in the United States, and for this service a fee of one dollar would bé charged. Under| the provisions of the bill which apparently carries plenty of teeth, many sportsmen feel that the indi- vidual liberties of the man who uses a gun for pleasure would be jeopardized. In v.he'Apnl issue of Field and Stream, Milton | Atchispn Reckord, Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association of America, makes the| opposing sportsmen’s point in these words: Under this proposal every one of the mil- lions of sportsmen is to be required to register every shotgun, rifle and pistol owned or pos- sessed within the United States. Many sports- men own a number of firearms and many of us are always on the point of buying, selling or swapping a gun. Every transfer of a fire- arm of any kind must be made by written order with fingerprints, photographs and that ever-present tax fee of one dollar upon each transaction. If the proposal should become law, no hunter could lend his shotgun to his friend for a single day, and no rifle on a range could be handed from one shooter to another with- out a written order accompanied by with fingerprints and photographs, and, of course, the dollar tax. It is the most absurd, asinine and absolutely ridiculous proposal that has been made upon the subject Visualize yourself as one member of a hunting party. You break a firing-pin in your shotgun or your rifle. Other members of the party have guns they would gladly lend you, but under the proposal there is no such Hunu as a loan—this proposal makes a loan and a sale can be made only after a written order with copies, with photographs and fingerprints, and with a one dollar tax. And that is not all. The transaction must be reversed in all its details at the end of the hunt, when you wish to return the firearm to the rightful owner. Every one is familiar with the fine record made by the Department of Justice in apprehension o criminals in recent years and most of us agree it activities 1f this direction should be encouraged in every way possible. But if the proposed firearms measure is as drastic on sportsmen and hunters as Mr. Reckord contends it would appear to be carrying copies, | whole bodies. ing for an attractive fly—say an Alaska Mary Ann somewhere tomorrow?

It could hire a IN ENGLISH ¢ plain-featured female lobbyist and perhaps get the civil ice policies altered. The trouble would be to| determine the qualifications for membership. Women who seem quite plain to home of us may have attrac- tiveness for others of us. One of the insoluble prob- lems of the modern age, as of other ages, is what he saw in her—or she in him. More specifically, Senator Ellender charged that in “some division in the Navy or War Department,” he couldn’t recall which, “only red-headed girls” were employed.- Now it is easy to determine whether or not a girl is red-headed, though not always so easy to tell whether she is so by nature or by artifice. If there is a red-headed division or bureau in the Navy or War Department the country should be informed of that No one has a right to keep such a state of \ffairs secret. Otherwise visitors to Washington, of whom there will be a great many this spring, may waste their time on such relatively uninteresting ob- jects as the Washington Monument and the United States Senate. No one will say that the Senate, with some glittering exceptions, was chosen for its beauty. If women with red hair are getting more than their reasonable percentage of the good jobs in Wash- ington, we may say, without minging words, that thihgs have come to a pretty pass. Move Over, JenL,hiz Khan! (Cleveland Plain Dealer) “At this moment news reached Jenghiz that the inhabitants of Herat had deposed the governor ap- peinted over the city, and had placed one of their own choice in his room. To punish this act of rebel- lion Jenghiz sent an army of 80,000 men against the offending city which after a siege of six months, was taken by assault. For a whole week the Mongols ceased not to kill, burn and destroy. Having con- summated this act of vengeance, Jenghiz returned to Mongelia by way of Bokhara and Samarkand.” PO DTS “I have just come back from the principal morgue which is al the Clinical Hospital, and there I counted dead lying side by side. Those were more or less * * * One comes back from’ the scenes dazed by the horror—blood over the pavements, bodies that seem the creation of a dazed mind, all black and red; men, women and children buried alive, scream- ing in the wreckage of their homes like trapped ani- mals. I have never seen so many weeping women.” P17 LR The first of the above paragraphs is from the account of an event which happened in 9, when Jenghiz Khan, the Mongol, was ravaging and con- quering from the Pacific to the Black Sea. That was 719 years ago. It was reported by a historian who pieced together the contradictory accounts ef soldiers and camp followers. The second paragraph was written recently in Barcelona by Herbert L. Matthews of the New York Times. He was on the spot when Insurgent air fleets gave Barcelona the bombing. which shocked a world grown callous by similar accounts of slaughter of non- combatants, all the way from Madrid to Nanking. The Barcelona bombing sets a new high—or low—in such mass murder. The news of it is distributed b; wireless and cable, methods as modern as the equip- ment of the bombers, 1219 and 1938. The parallel in frightfulness is close, though Barcelona, be it noted, had not rebelled as had old Herat. The only essential difference is the improvement in method. It took the Mongol conqueror a whole week to accomplish his purpose. Move over, Jenghiz. Make room for quicker killers. It is a good thing that Joseph P. Kennedy, ambas- ador to Great Britain, is not a congressman.

Sportsmen of Alaska and the nation pay a huge sum into government coffers in license tees; they support a huge sporting goods industry and they raise among themselves millions of dollars which are ‘cxi)ended in wild life propagation and protection. They are entitled to and should get ample considera- tion when legislation is suggested which may vitally effect them.
