Tonight | “Long Voyage Home" Accidents Af Sitka Evoke Labor Protest Haas Demands Defails of| Latest Injury to Workers | Employed, Naval Base Scoring the Siems Drake-Puget Sound Construction Company for| its “lack of information and coop- eratian,” Territorial Labor Com- missioner Michael J. Haas today requested the company'’s safety di- | rector at Sitka Naval Base to re- port full details of the latest acci-| dent there, in which three men were injured yesterday. Haas said the company so far| has failed to inform him of the ~cident, in which a scaffolding| wpsed and plunged three men eet to the ground, seriously in- ing at least one, J. W. Moore. ners injured were E. D. Anway d E. A. Bridge. Pointing out that 12 men have )st their lives at Sitka in defense vork accidents, Haas said the De- partment of Labor frequently has offered its services to both the company and Navy Department in an effort to prevent accidents but “all we get is a kick in the teeth.” “The lack of information and co- operation of the Siems-Drake peo- ple with Territorial officials never has been completely satisfactory,” a notice released by Haas said. “The Department of Lahor, deeply interested in safety and accident prevention, has found most em- ployers and companies more than eager to cooperate. In only one or two instances has the Depari- ment found contractors eager fo hide behind Government skirts to hide their lack of cooperation with Territorial departments interested in the welfare of Alaska and Al- askans.” |climaxed by Run Tonight and against fulsome nature is unwound which closes tonight at the Capitol | Theatre. Starting with the premise that to be a Ziegfeld showgirl was sim- ply to see more of life in a shorter | time than in other occupations, the picture shows the results of this compression on three such girls, depicted by Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr and Lana Turner, who, together with James Stewart, con- stitute the film’s starring quarter. The first, characterized as the daughter of Edward Gallagher of Gallagher and Shean, wins star- dom, eventually creates an oppor- tunity for the success of her father and his vaudeville partner. The second, wife of an impoverished violinist, finds that she still loves him and wins him back, although he had left her in protest against her acceptance of the job. The third, department store elevator op- erator and policeman’s daughter, takes the easy way of admiration and gifts, ends in misery and dies on the opening night of a new edi- tion of the “Ziegfeld Follies.” The three stories, and something of the show itself, are enacted by a cast which, in addition to the four stars, has in principal sup- Ian Hunter, Charles Edward Everett Dorn, Paul Kelly, FERLYEE N g e iitle s, Smorgaasbord Will Be Served Tomorrow By Lutheran Ladies Opening their two-day bazaar today, the Lutheran Ladies Aid put on display a number of articles, including towels, pot holders and other items of household use.

W. ‘Council. Commissioner of Health. The report, which is the result of, a survey made by Earl Neuru, San- {itarian of the Division of Public Health engineering, was read by Dr. Courthey Smith, Assistant | Health Commissioner. | Sanitaty facllities such as water . supply, sewerage disposal, garbage disposal and housing were reported to be greatly below normal stand- |ards, and statistics showing exact | percentages of lack in each field were given by Neuru. | Data Is Given | Included in the report was the | following information: 45 of the 53 |houses in the Native Village are | supplied with city water; 5 per |cent of the houses have no facilities | |for sewage disposal; 7 per cent of | |the owners state that fecal mater- (lal is carried to the beach a block away; only a very small percentage of houses have any collection of{ garbage, and this mostly inade- quate; houses are largely over- crowded; and many of the houses | have water flush ' toilets connected | to the old sewer line, a condition | which should have been discon- |tinued with the laying of the new | sewer line. “Grossly Unsanitary” The problem of adequate gar-| ‘bage and sewar disposal, which ileaves material on the beach and around the houses to breed diseases, should be immediately rectified, | states the report. The condition of ! the village is “grossly uns:mitary".: land remedies for the inadequacies | are made in the report. Adequate water flush toilets |should be installed and connected |to the new sewer line, a platform |to hold covered metal garbage cans which can be removed to.the city |dump at regular intervals should | be constructed, and plans for future reconstruction with a view to better { housing should immediately put in |action according to the report. Especially necessary is the educa- tion of the natives to the correct use of the facilities, and policing with this in mind is recommended. The Rev. W. H. Matthews, secre- tary of the group, reported that a letter had been written to Chief of Police Kenneth Junge asking the Police Department enforce garbage disposal, particularly in regard to Willoughby beach. Junge said -that steps had been taken, and a sign had been put up asking the Indians to desist. 1 Indian Affairs Act The . Office of Indian -Affairs stated in a_ conference that they promise to provide platforms with garbage containers, providing the city will have them removed at reg- ular intervals. When this matter was brought to the attention of the City Council, it was referred to the Street committee, who prom- ised that the matter would be looked into and steps taken to elim- inate the nuisance. According to Rev. Matthews, a conference of representative men of the city has been called by Gav. Ernest Gruening for this after- noon to consider the matters brought up by Neuru's investiga- tion.

Train Tie-Up Averfed by (omEomise* Wage Increases Granted Railroad Employees - Holiday Trains to Run WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 — The threat of a strike lifted, the nation's railroads were busy today simplify- ing the problems of traffic chiefs, who must accomodate the heaviest holiday business in. two decades this month over lines already jam- med with defense freight. ‘The settlement of the dispute| over wages and vacations of train- men was announced last night by Wayne Morse, chairman of the emergency board appointed by the President. Last night, Morse with- held exact terms of the peace agree- ment until it could be submitted to President Roosevelt, but other| sources declared the pact will add between $300,000,000 and $325,000,- 000 a year to payrolls of rail car- riers. This morning, the Presidential Fact Finding Board reported to the President that railroad labor and management representatives had reached 'a compromise agree- ment calling for a basic wage in-| crease of 76 cents a day for brother- hopds of operating trainmen, and 80 cents a day for brotherhoods of noh-operating train emplyes. The agreement means -that the nationwide railroad strike called for December 7 has been averted. e, FLAKNE ON BARANOF J. .
