The i bill was to become a law without the signature of the President. i i The three American Army planes circling the globe, had left Para- mishiru Island and arrived safely after a little over seven hours at Yetorofu Island in Hitocappu Bay. The big annual celebration of Victoria Day at Whitehorse, Y. T, which was to be held shortly, was to be attended by one of the largest groups of people from Gastineau Channel that had ever gone to the festivities. The Alma was to make the trip and reservations for the cruise were coming in fast and furious. W. N. Collier, Government architect and engineer, was a local visitor this day enroute to Washington from Cordova. Mr. Collier was in Juneau for several months in 1912 and had charge of the construction of the Governor’s Mansion. Lunsford E. Oliver, assigned to duty with the Alaska Road sion as Engineer Officer, in place of Col. J. C. Grtwals, recalled {for duty in the States, arrived here.

YT man the difficul Republicans in the States are hailing the Mont- | equipment. gomery-Ward plant seizure as the “blunder that may decide the election.” Democrats are generally con- demning the move. The tactics certainly are without precedence in this country. Starting from a labor dispute involving whether a CIO union represented the majority of the employees, the government directed the ecompany to acknowledge the CIO as bargaining agent until a recently expired contract was renewed or a new con- tract made. The company manager refused to bow to the ultimatum with the result that American soldiers were sent to take over, carrying the manager out of his office and barring him from the site. Books and operating ledgers of the company were seized. The manager had refused to sign a new contract because he objected to a clause which meant a closed shop. A great deal of displeasure has been shown by a vast majority of the American people who recognized the move us a suspension of civil rights without the declaration of martial law; because they recognized it as a violation of the Fourth Article of the Bill of Rights which says: “The right of the people to be secure in their tions. item of military appearing under will cost lives. | Newly designed c question.
