 ENEMY ALIENS
 IS CONTINUED
Associated Pressl


 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. g. To the surprise of the department of justice, there has been an alarm. ing difference between the number of enemy aliens registering since February and the number which it was figured would register. At. torney General Gregory this morning stated that the registration period will be extended for four days, or until February 13. and that all Ger. mans will be expected to register by that time.
 Much of the falling off from the departments figures is accounted for by the fact that inclement weather, storms and cold has prevented many farmers of German blood and citi- zenship from coming into towns where they can register This has caused the department to make an extension of the order.
 Mir. Gregory stated this morning that all Germans must be registered by the thirteenth, as no excuses will be accepted by the department for failure. Any German after that date found without registration cards will be treated as a spy and pun ished to the extent of the law

 JUNEAU. Feb. Ex-Governor Strong this afternoon announced that fur ther hearings upon the eight-hour law will be postponed until Febru- ary 15. This action is taken in or der to give the labor delegates from Anchorage chance to be present.
 The White Pass & Yukon Co.,, the Copper River railroad and the fishing and mining interests have made a strong showing supporting their claim that there Is a labor shortage in Alaska today and that this short age will become serious before the end of the season. None of the in. terests represented at the hearings have asked for the suspension of the law. stating that they are satis fled to abide by it's provisions, but are asking for a simple modified tion whereby it will be possible for the workers to put in overtime in cases where 1t proves to be neces- sary. They declare that it is not part of their plans to cut the wage scale which is now observed. but that it will be necessary to work overtime in order to do the neces sary work next season.
 A-
 The laborites are making a stron. fight against any moderation what. ever and seem opposed to more than eight hours work under any cir. The Anchorage dele gates are expected to arrive early next week and will combat the ar gument of the employers that there is danger of a grave labor shortage in the territory's industries.

HAVE THE JOB
 BUT NO POWER

HONOLULU, Jan 22.-The public utilities commission of Hawaii is without jurisdiction to regulate the rates and charges of the Inter-Is- land Steam Navigation company, ac- cording to a decision handed down yesterday by the territorial supreme court.
 This disposes, for the present, at least. of case that has been be. fore the commission and the courts for considerably more than a year. More than year ago the Inter. Island announced a material increase in passenger and freight rates. AS the Inter-Island does practically all the carrying business among the va rious islands of the group, this an nouncement affected the entire ter. ritory.
 The public utilities commission took the ground that the steamship company had no right to raise rates without it's permission, and began an investigation to determine whether or not the increases were justified The navigation company submitted under protest, at the same time as- serting that the commission was without jurisdiction in the matter.
 The conclusions of the commission were that the raises were not justi- fled, and it ordered the company to revert to the old rates.

 OROvILLE, Cal, Jan 15.-Olive men in this district declare that record of twnety years has been smashed by climatic conditions this year. Olives in perfect condition are still being received at the various olive plants here, and indications are that the picking will continue well into February. This condition is un- precedented, as cold weather gener- ally stops picking December 10th.
 AS a result of the favorable weath. CT. the pack will be normal despite the fact that the crop on the trees was light. The olive oil output, how ever. will be curtailed as fruit is now being processed for ripe olives that. owing to damage from cold weather, has generally gone into oil.
