''WlCK" BUSY ON CANNERY
 COMPLAINT

SEATTLE, Nov. 2, (By MaiD.- c. H. Younger State Labor Commis- sioner, has been notified by Jas. Wick ersham that proper steps have been taken to present for Congressional in- vestigation labor conditions arising in Alaska by reason of the Oriental con tract system now in effect during the cannery season,
 The charges on which the investiga- tion is to be based were filed with Commissioner Younger against Wong On, a Portland Chinese labor contrac- tor, by a camery employee of Alaska, who was under the contract system and alleges to have been grossly mis- treated without redress.
 Wickersham wrote for a copy of the testimony taken by state and Federal employees of Wong On, who claimed that their wages were wrongfulIy withheld. The testimony is to be used, Wickersham said, in committee meet ings on the Alaska fisheries bill, which is to be taken up December z.
 In complying with the request Com missioner Younger stated that he had assurances of caunery firms operating in Alaska that they would cooperate in either state or Federal legislation designed to remedy contract labor abuses which have prevailed in the North for years.
 Getting the employees wages back through gambling games run by the forcmen. who paid the contractor a percentage, and charging the losses against the men as groceries, is one of the charges made in the Wong On case.

Callahan
Pirates

Ew YORK. March 1O.-The man
NJ ageriaI pathway ahead Of Jimmy
! - Callahan, of the Pirates, this
year is not strewn with rose petals
for Callahan has the uncertain task
of building up a winner over the Ioun-
dation of last years sixth placers be-
fore him. And building up a winning
club in the major leagues Is a mans
size job.
The figure dope on the 1916 Pirates
shows that they were not 1lrst IL

for. besides finishing sixth in the pen

Apparently. then. CaII1han's task
calls for bOlsterinG in both the
hitting and fielding ends of the
game. and the hurting corps OF the
Pirates needs some attention too:

Callahan is after a first baseman
who can deliver the goods day in ana
day out at the initial corner. He has
thought some of putting Hans wagner
on the initial sack and keeping him
there, and Wagner, it is known, would
like to have the job. But the veteran
Honus is still too valuable as second
sacker or shortstop to station at first
base, II some other player who can
hold down the job can be found.
Rumors of trades that will put the
Pirates on q firm basis for the COM
ing pennant race have been flying
thick and fast for the past few weeks,
and Callahan may not be ready to
announce definite lineup until near
