PALMER CALLS SED|T|ON BILL
 'TOO DRASTIC

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Additional anti-sedition legislation, simple ln character and guarding the guaran- tees of the bill of rights but covering the hiatus in present statutory laws, was urged by Attorney General Pal mer today before the house judiciary committee.
 Uphoiding the right of free speech and constructive criticism, the attor- ney general protested against pending measures which he said were "too drastic and far reaching and so searching that they oyerreach their purpose"
 More harm than good would come from oppressive legislation, he added.
 Reviewin gthe activity of the de- partment of justice in suppressing radicalism, MT. Palmer told the com mittee that vigor with which his de- partment had acted, together with it's notice to law breakers of the strong and positive intention of the govern ment to punish crimes, had had the effect of maintaining such order as would have been otherwise impos- sible.
 But there is no existing statute adequate to meet the present situa- tion," MT. Palmer told the committee. "There is a condition of revolutionary intent in the country on the part of both aliens and citizens which is suf- ficiently widespread to merit serious consideration of congress. This revo' lutionary intent is manifested chiefly by threats both written and spoken by persons who would injure, destroy or overthrow the government by physical force or violence"
 Citizens rights should always be guarded, MT. Palmer said, adding thai he agreed with those citizens who criticized the Graham-Sterling bill or this ground.
 But I do not agree with those who object to the bill because they believe that acts of violence should be me with argument only and not by tn, firm hand of federal statute" he said
 The Davey bill, drawn originally b! MT. Palmer and introduced in tn, house last November, the attorney general said. was adequate for tho present emergency. No postmaste general should be given authority tt decide whether alleged seditious mat ter was non-mailable as provided il the Sterling bill passed by the senate he said.

Europe must he animated by the spirit of peace The present state of mind cannot con- tinue long. But aDove all it is inn possible to prolong much further the present economic situation.

For each new debt we have advised new taxation We are approaching the equilibrium of the national budget and if We could count on favorable circumstances We should be the first nation on the Eu- ropean continent to balance our ln- come and expenditure.
 we count only on our own strength. not on indemnities from the vanuuished countries. If these In. demnities eventually are paid, 1t will he inst compensation for all our sac rifices. But we must depend exclu sivelv on our own resources.
 "I can quite well understand that in the United States feeling of dis trust prevails and that there is dis Inclination to give credit at a time when 1t might appear that Europe still meditates war and that it is this which helps to maintain the present dlsor ganized financial condition. But noth ing could do greater harm to coun tries honestly striving toward peace both internal and external than the present uncertainty.
 "We need to be able to buy on the American market what is indispensa ble to the life of our country under conditions of comparative stability and. for this reason, it is necessary for us that the governments of the principal countries should put theil heads together and at once take step: to end the present intolerable posi- tion.

 This demand is an act of revenge worse than Shylock's." he continued. Suppose l succeeded in getting the men arrested Do you think the train taking them to France would be al- lowed to cross the frontier? And if crowd held up that train do you imagine that I could order Germans shot down so that other Germans should be handed over 10 the revenge of their enemies? The government might resign but what party could take it's placer"
 The correspondent points out that the task of arresting and delivering !the men for eXtradition would fall on | Noske He adds that passive resist Iance apparently will be the attitude of Germany toward the allied de mand.

Deadlock on Railroad Bills Comes to End Through
 A Compromise
LABOR WINS IN ITS
 FIGHT ON CLAUSE
Wage Boards and Guaranty Of Profits for Two Years
 Provided

WASHINGTON. Feb 4-Casting aside the anti-strike provision of the Cummins bill, against which labor has leveled protests and threats. and modifying the rate-making clauses of the same measure, senate and house representatives today reached virtu- ally a complete agreement on legiSla- tion designed to- 1sst conditions growing out of the return of the rail- roads on March 1 to private control. For the anti-strike provision the com mittee agreed to substitute what in effect amounts to compulsory submis- sion of wage disputes to federal board appointed by the president. A number of minor differences remain to be composed but these will be worked out by Senator Cummins of Iowa, chairman of the senate mana gers, and Chairman Esch of the house conferees. A final report on the leg islation is anticipated late this week and efforts will be made to expedite consideration of the report in order ot insure the bills passage before March 1.
 Deadlock Is Broken
 
 | Reaching of an agreement on the Esch bill, passed by the house, and the Cummins bill, enacted by the sen- ate, broke a deadlock that has exist ed several weeks due principally to | the house conferees' refusal to ac- cept the anti-strike provision of the latter measure. House members also have opposed the senate rate-making section.
 i In agreeing on labor provisions, the conference struck out the clause of i the senate bill which would virtually make strikes illegal by penalizing railroad employees or employers for purpose of interfering with interstate commerce and provided in lieu there. of settlement of labor disputes by boards composed equally of employees boards must be approved by federal board appointed by the president with the senate's approval to which ap peals must be taken in cases in which agreements are not reached by the other boards. While the use of the latter board has not been definitely fixed, Senator Cummins said it would probably be of five members.
 All classes of railroad employees Senator Cummins said, are to have representation on the lower wagf boards. Since the government vii not be represented on these boards the senator explained, settlement o

COAST EMPl0YES Of LAUNDRY GET
 PART 0F PROFIT

For the first time in Cordova and, it is believed, in Alaska, an estab- lished business has been incorpor- ated and its employees given shares of stock permitting them a voice in the management and a share in the profits of the business.
 Jones' laundry, formerly known as the Modern laundry, was incor.- porated in November, and as a Christmas present all regular-em- ployed workers were given shares in the corporation. When questioned as to the reason for the incorpora- tion, F. A. Jones, president and general manager of the laundry, de- clared that the rapid growth of his business during the last few years had made it necessary, and also that he desires to be prepared for the period of prosperity of which he believes Cordova is now on the eve.
 The officers of the corporation are: F. A. Jones, president and treasurer; Mrs. F. A. Jones, vice president, and R. H. L. Noaks. sec- retary.
 Ten years ago, Mir. Jones started the present laundry, then known as the Cordova steam laundry. In 1913 he entered into partnership with his strongest competitor, N. A. Clasen. owner of the Keystone laundry, the partners naming their enterprise the Modern laundry. In 1916 Mir. Jones purchased the interest of MT. Clasen, and since that time has had active management of the business. MT. Jones launched his business in 1910 on a capital of $500. The jpresent corporation is capitalized at i $20,00O. There are now from II to IA workmen regularly on the payroll, and at rush times as many
 as sixteen. This represents a yearly
 payroll of over $2O,OO0.
 i Jones' laundry handles about 90
 percent of the laundry work of Cor
