LABOR DISAPPROVES
RIVETING CONTESTS
Leaders Argue Against System
That Drives Shipworkers
to Limit

Washington, June l.
Organized labor looks with disfavor
on the riveting contests which. are TAX
ing place In the shipyards of the United
States. II Is argued by labor leaders
that such contests, instead of speeding
up shipbuilding, actually retards It,
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation of Labor said
ITO adopt a policy of having a riveter
in different yards demonstrate how many
rivets It is possible for him to drive in
one day. working at his fullest capacity
cannot have beneficial effect either
on the rest of the men or on the man
himself
1T has been my experience that there
are many men who because of unusual
reserve energy. can do a great deal
more in one day than the average man.
but | have usually found that when the
work of that man Is compared with
that of the average man for a year, his
product does not exceed that of the man
who is not capable of that great rush
during short period"

Navy Department sdvices showing
that submarines were lying far out. in
cluding the vicinity of the Azores. plus
the recent British destruction of super
submarine off the Portugal coast indi-
cate that the submarine is being forced
out of Its usual paths.
Increase in the number of American
and Allied destroyets and improved eff
cheney in anti-submar.ne devices has
been partly responsible. But Germany,
apparently chagrined at her failure to
torpedo loaded troopships has evidently
ordered a drive against them now.

WANTS SOME MEANS
 OF REACHING MEN
 WHO EVADE SERVICE

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Feb. 2S.- Major General F. S Strong at Camp Kearney. Linda Vista, Calif., has suggested that some means be ta- ken to frustrate the efforts of per sons committed to penal institutions to obtain short terms under the in determinate sentence law where it may be established that the offender committed a "crime solely for the purpose of escaping the hazards of q campaign in the trenches.
 If under the terms of the indeter- minate sentence. law such offender secured their release in a short time,," General Strong wrote Cover nor Stephens, 'it would be precisely what they wanted and in addition it would be unjust to those who are willing to go to the front in their country's service"

Capt. Waugh Says There Must Be Legislation Before Money Can
 Be Spent.
TELLS OF CONDITIONS
Also Declares Another Rea- son Is That There Is a Shortage of La
 Dor for Work.

Captain w H. Waugh, president of he Alaska Road Commission, who 'cturned from the south last night, his morning stated that no money will be expended on road work in Alaska by the Forestry Service from he funds provided by Congress un- il the existing laws arc changed nd until war conditions are more ettled. This will not interfere with he road work being done by the Territory or the War Department.
 There are three things which york in Alaska this year." said Capt. Waugh. Tn the first place the ex- sting laws of the Territory do not How the Territorial Boards to ex- )end money through the Road Com mission Under the laws of Con ,ress the Forestry fund must be ex- )ended under the direction and su- lervision of the Road Commission nd the Territory must expend an equal sum through the same source. jntil the law allows the Territorial Board to expend money through us here will be no way in which the Forestry fund can be expended.
 "Another factor is the difficulty n securing labor to work on the 'oads. the high wages demanded and he excessive cost of supplies. A hird factor is the fact that none of )ur projects will advance the cause Df the United States in the present war. In fact, too much road work will take men from other work which S of more advantage to the couu- ny at large.
 Until these three conditions are corrected the Forestry money will e held in the Treasury and will not )e spent At the present time Alas "a has credit of $43,000 in the Forestry fund which was to have Neen expended this year. On July lst. this year, $46,000 more will be idded and $46,000 per year from now on for a period of ten years. The money will bc expended in time but not at present.
 "The appropriation for road work n Alaska for the Road Commission has not been made yet and we dc not know how much money we vii. have, but we are assured of as much as we have received in other y6ars. In addition the Territorial Boards will be expending their money. ap- proprated by the last Legislature. which will mean plenty of work this season.
 While in the south 1 tried to se- cure two tractors for use in the Fairbanks section but do not know whether I succeeded or not. All the tractor manufacturers are selling their products in car load lots, cash paid before they leave the factory. They almost refused to talk to me at all, but finally made deal which will result in the purchase of two machines for our use,' he said.

POINT BARROW TO

NOME. Feb. 18.-(By MaiD - Point Barrow lacks one fundamental thing without which it will never be the village it ought to be. to-wit. an educational institution" the letter read. The people here are worthy and there is enough raw material to warrant a good sized school.
 Point Barrow will always be a village of considerable size as long as there are any Eskimos left to occupy it owing to the fact that it is an ideal location from which to hunt. trap and fish"

 dock construction, that is of the same kind of structure erected on piling While here l made an exam ination of the old dock and the old coal bunkers and they are both good strong structures. The coal bunker is capable of holding weight of 2,100 tons at the present time and that weight was placed on the struc ture not long ago.
 Many people when they see two or three piling which look bad think the entire structure is weak As a matter of fact when piling are driven under an old dock they are placed alongside an old pile, The old pile is left to stand until it falls out

SANFRANCISCO, Calf, Ifeb 28. The Naval Auxiliary of the Red Cross has asked experienced knit ters to devote their time exclusive ly to knitting socks for the next sixty days. 1t has been found that the hand-knitted socks will out wear those made by machines,
