Denying the bill was sponsored by >utsiders, Chinella said that every- ne who has ever had to work in Al- 'ska knows the need for a Depart- nent of Labor. He asserted such a Department could save the Territory ts industries and its workers “a good | many thousands of dellars.

D. Cochran attacked he bill as “accomplishing no real purpose for the Territory.” He said ‘he existing Department of Mines vas thoroughly able to enforce the urposes for which the act is in-| tended and that if it is necessary an inereased appropriation should oe made for the Commissioner of ! Mines for this purpose, Lobbying Alleged “I undertake to say there is & oparticular candidate for the office Jf Commissioner of Labor, who is now lobbying for this bill, and that s the underlying force back of it,” Cochran declared. Senator Norman R.

Minimum Age An attempt by LaBoyteaux to | change the minimum age for Com- missioner from 35 to 40 was attacked | by Walker with the statement that | the President of the United States { only has to be 35 and that “a man | whese mind isn't mature at 35 won't | ever have a mature mind.” { LaBoyteaux replied that he want- ed to increase the figure “so *the Commissioner of Labor will be a man who knows something.” The |cers of ‘whlch. was started by a spark f aboard the Yukon. | Wilho Alenius, Finnish passen-, ger, had been drinking and start- ed a one-man mutiny in the chact room of the vessel.
