EMERGENCY BILL FOR OPERATION
 OF TRAP SITES

The Cordova Chamber of Commerce held special meeting at the North land Club yesterday to take action on telegram received from Delegate Grigsby in reference to the passing of an emergency bill by congress re- lieving the owners of trap sites in Alaska from the necessity of driving and operating same during 1921, as a conservative measure. The Cham Der endorsed and urged the passage of the resolution suggested, provided it applies only to traps operated dur ing the season of 1920 and provided further that this privilege ceases at the beginning of the fishing season of 1922. The telegram from Mr. Grigsby follows:
 Representatives and attorneys of the Cannery Association are urging the passage of an emergency bill re- lieving them from the necessity of driving and operating traps during season of 1921, in order to hold title to trap locations, claiming they can not operate except at great loss and that their best trap locations would be jumped unless measure is passed. The proposed bill would give them priority rights to present trap loca- tlons for season of 1922 Representa- tives state that if bill is passed it will result ill losing large propor- tion of the canneries in Southeast ern Alaska and Prince William sound next season. Bureau of Fisheries is in favor of same as conservation meas ure. Canneries will pay trap licenses for 1921, but measure will decrease territorial revenue on pack, If the bill doesn't pass they claim they will operate best locations only during coming season to the extent neoes sary to protect priority rights. Re quest immediate expression of your opinion'
 The establishment of a crab indus try at Cordova was also discussed and President Hazelet appointed a com mittee, consisting of Messrs. Caleb Corser, T. J. Donohoe and H. C. Feld- man to make an investigation of the matter and report it's findings to the Chamber at the earliest possible date

DISTRICT CHIEF

By Associated Pres,

| Pittsb1rg, Kan, April 9.-A1exander
 N Howat, president of District No. If, | United Mine Workers of America, and
 three other district officials were sent
 to jail by District Judge A. J, Curran
 here today for refusal to testify before
 the new Kansas industrial relations
 court.
 Howat and his three associates, who
 were charged with contempt of court, were taken to jail at Girard, Kan, late today
 Judge Currans order provided that tEey shall remain in jail until they agree to answer questions propounded to them by the industrial relations cou-t or until they shall be released on bond pending an appeal to the state supreme court What the next step on the part of counsel for the men would De had not been announced tonght
 Besides Howat, the district officials sent to Jail by Judge Curran were August Dorchy, vice president; Thomas Harvey, secretary treasurer, and Rob- ert Foster, auditor
 The controversy arose with the deci- sion of the industrial court to go into the Kansas mine fields to make a per sonal investigation of conditions there, including wages, relation of produce ton and income, living conditions and the relations of the individual miners and operators. The action followed the filing of request for such an in vestigation by Richard J. Hopkins, atz torney general on behalf of the miners. The hearing was first set for March 6, but later was postponed to April D.
 When the industrial court convened here last Monday twenty-five sub poenas were issued for mine officials end leaders, in addition to many miners. Howat and four other officers refused to recognize the subpoenas. Attorney Hopkins then appealed to Judge Curran, who issued a bench or der directing Howat and three of the officials to appear before the indus trial court forthwith. The fourth was out of the state. Again they refused They were cited for contempt of court and their hearings set for this morn ing.
 Governor Allen said today he had no statement to make regarding the in- generation of Howat
 Tt was what I expected Judge Cur ran to do," the governor said .Ifl does not obey the law. the law will take care of Howat The indus trial court will go ahead and do busi- ress regardless of Howat's action

proof that the charges were untrue.
 He challenged the opposition to point
 to single instance in the record that
 would show him to be unfriendiy to
 labor.
 Disposing of the prohibition question
 as closed incident on the ground that
 it is a part of the fundamental law of
 the land, and. like all other organic laws
 must be enforced, he passed on to labor,
 transportation, roads and rivers and water power development.
 He painted a rosy picture of the future Alabama with her millions of prosperous people and her myraids of industries giving employment and sus- tenance to her population. County cam paign manager, J. D. Mcqueen, called the meeting to order in the absence from the city of J. Manley Foster, who had been selected to introduce Senator Underwood, the chairman presented his son, Richard Foster, who performed that service in brief talk in which he re- ferred to the long and honorable ca reer of Senator Underwood in the Con- gress of the United States.
 A large banner bearing the words 'sWel- come to Underwood- was strung across the front of the McLester hotel, where the senator stopped while here. During the afteynoon hundreds of citizens called at the hotel to pay their respects to Alabanra's senior senator.
 The courthouse was entirely inadequate to accommodate all who desired to hear Senator Underwood. Long before he began speaking all seats were filled, the isles were damned and as many persons remained outside the room as were in it. Calls of Come on the street where all can hear Underwood"' came from hundreds of threats.
 There were at least thousand persons in the courtroom and fully that many more who were unable to get inside. On account of the condition of Senator Un- derwood's throat it was thought mad visable for him to attempt to speak in -he open air.
 Lloyd M. Hooper. state campaign chair nan, in his prelude to Senator Under wood speech took for his text "ln all your getting get understanding" and from that laid down the proposition that when charges reflecting upon public man are made it is the duty of the citi- sens to investigate these charges and yet tha fruth
