 =. q niteti-y heid this evening the following resolution was p,s -ed and ordered forwarded to you. Quote Business men and other citizens of hetchikan are highly indignant over threat of Mayor Petty and Labor Representatives to de feat Victory Loan unless Legislature grants demands. This is high handed attack on the fundamental principles Of our Government and such an action should receive the prompt repu- diation or our legislators. Parties making this threat know that the eight hour law should not apply to any business handling fish or similar perishahle food stuff where the purity of the products depends upon the promptness with which 1t is handled and particularly to the sal mon industry in which the whole harvest sea- son lasts only from four to six weeks, An eight hour law applied to this industry would great T. decrease the possible pack and proportionally reduce the revenue received therefrom by the trritory and by every municipality located on the coast of Alaska
 Commercial Club of ketchikan
 The second addressed to the same official says:
 Message signed by Mayor Petty and Labor Secretaries Nixon and Hendriekson, dated twenty-third relative eight hour law contains not only threat against the government reven- ues savoring of treason but is vicious blow to every business interest in this section It will greatly decrease production and increase the al- ready high cost Of production. We protest that al eight hour day as applying to perishable pro- ducts would prove very disastrous to the busi- ness interests Of the entire Coast of Alaska di- recty and indirectly result in serious loss to the Territory in revenue. All perishable commod- ties should De exempted from the operation of the law

 Report of subcommittee. We your special committee to whom was referred telegram as follows: 'Ketchikan.

Political suicide for senators opposing it so far as concerns labor-Signed Robert L. Petty. Mayor of Ketchikan. H. Nixon agent Deep Sea Fishermans Union Alaska Labor Union num- Der ,. H. " Hendrickson. Secretary
 Have considered the same and wish to re- port that our opinion on the demand made in such telegram is a threat that the parties whose names are attached will endeavor to defeat the Victory Loan unless this body shall pass the Dunn Pennington hill This telegram Is of the same nature as would be a direct offer to pur- chase the vote of this body and cannot be con- sidered in any other light We could overlook the efforts Of the signers of the above telegram 10 intimidate members of this body, but, when such attempts to intimidate are accompanied with the intimation that the authors will oppose the success of the Victory Loan now offered by our Government we cannot reach any other con- cluson than that the parties thereto are mak- ing threats that very closely touch the border line Of conspiracy and treason and we submit that the parties who signed the above telegram sicnified that they are actuated by unpasr1oae motives and have no respect for the lnstitutions Of our country nor for the Democratic govern men and we further recommend that the above ruoted telegram be turned over to the United States District Attorney to deal with as the law may direct Report of Committee adopted by the Senate.
 Representative, J. H. Davies, of Ketchikan" Today Mayor Petty gave out the following for publication:
