 LEGISLATURE

Juneau, April 2O--A motion to reconsider having failed the senate now stands committed to a measure for the abolishment of capital pun ishment in Alaska. The fight to reconsider was led by J. NJ. Tanner of Skagway, backed by Hubbard of the Third division and Gaustad of the Fourth division.
 Declaring that the house bill providing that all intoxicating l- quors shipped into the territory of Alaska must be sent directly to the consignee and not to any fic- titious person, would kill the whole sale liquor trade in Alaska, the measure was recommitted to con ference for further amendments. The purpose of Representative Shoup in drawing the bill, as he stated to the members of the house, was to prevent bootleg gers getting liquors shipped in an- others name, or in having ship ments labeled as soda water or other merchandise.

 The invention Of Mir. sherman daes away with the present incom- "igte system Of blocking" trains 5ich has only one small light Ter a signal that danger exists @aead, the light of the old system being by the side of the track By the Sherman invention from three to six distinct electric l,u signals, In addition to the light, are given, making 1t impossible for trains to either collide or run iR- b open switches.
 Mir Sherman has shown his mo del to several railroad men here, among them Conductor Chas, Shel- Iy, > Lo has had years of experience on biz ruads on the outside, having railroaded out of Chicago for years, and they are all convinced that the invention will practically revolution ize the present system of train

These 10000 children represent
great waste oil time and money, and
they constitute a problem to which

| two industries were selected especially
because Of the two great extremes In
conditions of employment. The tel
| ephone girl must sit constantly and her
| work is light but she is working under
a severe nervous strain while nearly
all the laundry girls must stand con-
stantly and their work is very heavy
requiring more than ordinary physical
strength. She said too that these two
ocupa tions were peculiarly fitted for
women and girls and wherein they rem
der better service than men.
There were 1926 laundry workers
and 1917 telephone workers inter-
viewed said Mrs. Rourke. The inves-
tigation covered data as follows: Oc-
cupation; nationality or descent; mar
ried, single, divorced or widow; rea-
sons for working; age. schooling: years
of experience; average weekly earn
ings; hours per day and hours per
week; average weekly contribution to
family; whether living at home or
adrift; whether they had ever worked
at any other occupation. and if their
present occupation had any bad effect
on them physically.
"A brief synopsis of the result of this
investigation is as follows: Approx
mately 1874 per cent of the 1895 laun-
dry workers interviewed when asked as
to previous ocupation said they had
never worked in any other industry
Many of them however, had been in
the laundry work q number of years.
Fifty per cent said they liked the work
and experienced no bad effect but said
the work was very eNacting. that IL
afforded no period for relaxation, that
the hours We're too long for such heavy
work and that no young girl or woman
who is not strong physically should en-
gage in the work.
'.Of the 1917 telephone workers in
teryiewed when asked as to previous
occupation. 42.1 per cent said they liked
the work and experienced no bad effect
tho they became very nervous during
the rush periods or the peak of the
load as they call it. They also said be-
cause of the nature of the work and
owing to the strict surveillance and
rigid adherence 10 rules laid down by
the company, together with the i'm
patience of nreasona BILE subscribers
the work was very hard on their
nerves. The girls who worked in other
occupations before coming to the laun-
dries or telephone exchanges came
from practically every industry where
women and girls are employed The
greater number came to the laundries
from domestic service and hotels and
restaurants while the greater number
came TO the telephone exchanges from
stores. Offices and domestic service.
"Thirty-two per cent of the tel
ephone workers said the work made
them very nervous. Some of them said
they were more nervous a first while
others said the longer they were in the
service the more their nervousness in
creased. At the time of the investiga-
ton six girls were at the verge Of
nervous breakdown, and were going 20
