THOROUGH CANVASS FOR

from Chairman E. N. Hurley of the
United States shipping board to R. f.
Robertson, who is enrolling officer for
the department of labor in the ship
building service at Juneau. Mr..
Robertson has enlisted a number of
workers who are willing to undertake
work in Uncle Sans great shipyards,
when called, and he wants more and
more men.
1t is emphatically stated that men
who enroll are under no obligation to
go into the work if they later find
they are unable to so shape their
plans; and, on the other hand, Uncle
Sam does not obligate himself to en-
ploy every man who signs up. But it
does give the shipping board a good
list of men to draw on as they are
needed

canvass" continues the wire, for men
skilled in trades useful in shipbiulding
and willing to enroll as shipyard vol

BLANKS ARE ON THE WAY
FOR FISHING LICENSES

Word has been received from FEEDER
al Food Administrator Royal A. Gun
nison that every salt water fisherman
in Alaska who intends to fish for the
market in any way must first make
application to the local food admins
tration and to Washington. d. c., for a
license before work this season.
Word has already been sent out
that applications must be in by the
middle of March, but owing to the fact
that the necessary blanks, which must
be filed at Juneau and at Washington,
have not yet arrived, the matter will
probably be somewhat delayed. The
blanks have been heard from, however
and are now on the way.
Many fishermen have been calling
every day at the local food admins
tration office for information on the
subject and have been assured that,
as soon as the blanks arrive, every
fisherman will be supplied and must
forward same to the proper authori-
Ties There is no charge or fees con-
nected with this license, the govern
ment merely taking this means to

holding the constitutionality of Chap
ter II of the Session Laws of Alaska

compensation act and a tender prior
to suit of the schedule sum payable un-
der the law. Demurrers to the special
defense were argued before Judge
Brown at Valdez and the demurrers
were overuled. Attorney i. H. Cobb
of Juneau originally brought the suit
in Johnston's behalf but after iudg-
ment in the low court the appeal was
handled by law firm at Valdez. The
validity of the act was assaulted be-
fore the circuit court cf appeals under
the fourteenth amendment to the
United States constitution, as well as
under the Enabling act creating the
territorial legislature, and the cause
was argued orally last September. The
case is the first in which tho ,-a1ij;+,-
of the act was adjudicated by the ap-

decision is of great interest throughout
