 Most of the boats are being load ed by strike breakers, who are working on a scale of fifty cents per hour and seventy five cents per houh for overtime. They are housed and fed on the docks and OH boats in the harbor. The To- cal police force has been trebled on the water front but still the riots are occurring daily. Both newspapers are appearing with edit orial comment on the situation and advocate better protection of pro- perty and lives.
 Judge Meter has issued restrain ing orders which prohibit the Un- ion men from interfering with the Alaska Steamship boats and docks. Tae Alaska Steamship Co. is load ing steel rails and government sup piles for the Alaska Railroad, thus giving the Federal Court power to interfere and issue the injunction.

UNITED CIGAR STORES
COUPONS AND T
The United Cigar Stores, the big
selling agency of the American To-
baccO Co., or tobacco trust" got a
bump yesterday. The United States
supreme court gave a decision. It
says when a cigar store clerk in Flor
ida or Washington sells you some
thing he commits a crime if he hands
you coupon.
Marshall Field & Co. were joined
with many small business men, and
also with the International Cigar
makers union, before the Illinois
legislature in recent sessions asking
the passage for Illinois Of the same
kind of law as Florida and Wash
ington have.
The law aims at stopping the trad
ing stamp and coupon game. Now
that the U. S. supreme court has
passed on it, the way is cleared in
Illinois for those who want to pass
such a law here.
Whenever a fight was made against
the trading stamp game in the Hi
nois legislature the argument came
that it was contrary to the United \
States constitution, which guaran-
tees freedom of contract. Now comes
the supreme court and says the diff
ferent states of the union can go
right ahead if they want and pass
laws against trading stamps and cou-
pons. That is, the individual states
shall be judges of whether they are
interfering with freedom of contract.

the U. S. supreme court involved F.
