Petrillo, |head of the American Federation of Musicians, illus- trates once more the double standard of the Ad- ministration in dealing with disputes between unions and employers. Mr. Petrillo has defied an order of the War Labor Board. One cannot imagine the NATIONAL REPRESENTATIV Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, NO FRONTIERS [the labor laws which the Congr Raymond B.

NATIONAL ISSUES: The status| of the less powerful members of the United Nations will be 'of para- mount concern as postwar plans are formulated. Demands for seats at the peace table will require careful consideration, for the stars favor the weak as the new world condi- tions are established. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS As the full power of the United Nations is finally concentrated on our enemies, the magnitude of the resources of men and material will spread panic among the Japanesé people. The emperor comes under fevil portents that may foreshadow violent death. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement ‘in' scientific pursuits, public service and financial matters. Love affairs will be ‘lucky.

George S. Gibbs at a luncheon given this day by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce to the officers aboard the cableship Dellwood. This was to follow the installation of automatic relays and duplexes at Ketchikan. The validity of the Territorial graduated salmon pack tax, enacted by the 1923 Legislature, had been upheld by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in an opinion returned at San Francisco. Approximately $140,000 was due to the Territory by various canning companies under the graduated tax. The luck of the hapless prospector was to be the subject of Charlie Chaplin's next production at this time ofor the movies, according to an article appearing in a recent issue of the Engineering and Mining Journal-Press. The same paper said Chaplin and his company would come to Alaska for the final work. Members of the Elks committee announced at this time that the first annual purple bubble dance was to be held October 25, at Elks’ Hall. The affair was invitational. Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Carlson and two children left on the Yukon for Seattle where Mr. Carlson was to remain for the winter. Mrs. B. C Delzelle arrived on the Northwestern from Seattle where she had been spending her vacation Weather report: High, 32; low, 32; partly cloudy.

Later labor comes under ‘a forbidding influence. HEART AND HOME: Women of all ‘ages ‘are warned against laxity in ‘manners ‘and miorals. Liberation from old conventions must be ac- . |cepted ‘wisely,” the seers 'declare. Returning servicemen ' will resent ilack of old-fashioned restraints. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Optimism that relies on final victory at an earlier date than has been general- lly predicted will affect the stock | market this week ' and in future months. Teniptation to speculate will' be among ‘persons who have réady money. . i NATIONAL ISSUES: Survival ‘of prejudice regarding women's right to equal opportunities in all lines of work or -public service will be evident at this time. There is a ‘|sign presaging severe criticism of women in - certain branchés of the armed forces. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: General MacArthur's return to the Philippines will “accelerate in an amazing degree the complete de- feat of Japan. The emperor con- tinues to be under the most evil portents. Tragic end of his rule is indicated. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ex- traordinary activity. The wise will avoid overwork. Children born on this day prob- ably will "be quick-tempered and intensely emotional, adventurous and ambitious. Keen observation will be a valuable trait of many who will, seek journalistic work.
