 Two More Bills.

The Senate and House are appar- ently hopelessly divided on the mat ter of eight-hour legislation. The Senate today defeated the Dunn Pennington bill covering those indus
 tries, the legality of the regulation of the hours of labor in which had been questioned. It also defeated the bill flor eight hours in the min

Thomas Riggs, Jr., inter ded to explain the last raise in Alaska transportation rates, enclosing series of statements, in cluding the annual statement, pre- pared by the officers of the company for presentation to the stockholders at the annual meeting to be held in Seattle April 2S," the Alaska Steamship Company claims that it made only $117,53929 over operating expenses on the vessels it operated in the Alaska business during the year 1918. It shows that> this is in spite of the fact that an old five year contract it had for fuel oil which expired in September of las year at 72 cents barrel kept the average price for fuel oil for the year 1918 down to S113 a barrel Since last September it has been paying $1S5 a barrel for fuel oil It this price had been paid for the oil used, the letter says the com pany would have lost money on the Alaska business.
 In the meantime, two of the yes sells of the Alaska Steamship Com pany. the Henry T. Scott and the Juneau, according to this statement, showed net earnings of S319, ,53254 in the Atlantic trade.

 The letter says "The trouble with business during the latter part 1f the year 1918 was not lack 1f gross revenues. but the enormous increase in operating expenses, par icularly in the item of fuel oil"
