Niscount Bryce deprecates the fear

ALASKA BOY IN GERMANY
 ASKS BONUS

All the way from Germany has come an application to the Alaska department of the American Legion to be put in for the Alaska soldier bonus And this is but one of many applications received in recent weeks by the department, according to De partment Commander Harold F. Dawes.
 The application received from Ger man soil, was sent in by Edward W. Ryan, of Company NJ. First infantry, American forces in Germany. Ryan who is evidently an oldtimer in the north, enlisted at Anchorage in 1918 in an engineer outfit, was discharged In December of the following year and took on for another hitch" in the forces in the occupied section of Germany.
 He is member of the Pioneers Of Alaska, belonging to Igloo No. 10. located at Anchorage. His member ship in that order is indicative of his many years residence in the ter ritory.
 Ryan's application is but one of many similar ones, according to Mir Dawes. Others have come from Honolulu, army posts in the states and from Alaskans who left the ter ritory to enter either the military ol naval services and who have since that time not returned. To those who have made applica

stating that the decision would set a precedent for subsequent decisions.
 Under the transportation act, seven factors are prescribed for the consid. eration in determining just and req sonable wages" of railway employees. The boards wage increase decision declared all these factors had been given consideration and that the rates established were considered just and reasonable. The decision at that time said:
 The board has endeavorcd to fix such wages as will provide decent living and secure for the children of the wage earners opportunity for edu- cation, and yet to remember that no class of Americans should receive pre- fcrrcd treatment and that the great mass of the people must ultimately pay a great part of the increasing cost of operation entailed by the in crease in wages. 1t is hoped that the present decision which adds substantial amounts to present wages will be felt to be just and equitable under all circumstances and railroad employees will accordingly render the best service of which they are cap able. If they will do this. it is be- lieved the American people will re- ceive benefits far outweighing the cost of the increases"
 Easing their argument upon the boards declaration that wages as es- tablished by this decision were just and reasonable in July 1920. the rail roads presented a volume of testi- mony to show that living costs had declined and that wages in outside industries had dropped. The railroad representatives declared wages should be cut in proportion.
 The employees. while giving figures the railroads argument of lO"tl "h6to anu IOhl OA llfillbI iilauC their main plea on the principle of the living wage. The labor men declared railway workers were underpaid and attempted to set up so-called living wage" budgets to substantiate their fight against any reductions.
 Fifteen labor organizations. includ. ing the big four brotherhoods, to- gether with the affiliated members of the railway employees department, American Federation of Labor. repre- sented the employees involved in the present case All of the roads asked of the common labor wage scale and numerous carriers asked re- ductions in several other classes. a few Of the roads filing petitions for of wages of every employe.

SEEKS END TO PROBES MADE
 BY CONGRESS

 WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-As con. gress continues to display a willing ness to investigate anything from the price of tin horns to the transporta- tion puzzle there is talk on Capitol Hill that "anti.investigation blocs" may he formed in both houses to combat further inquiries unless they seem to be of extreme importance and it is showing that some bene- fit may be derived from them.
 Congressional investigations, lead ing often to nothing more than vol luminous reports filed away in the archives of the capital. have been the subject of severe criticism for many years, but congress goes mer- rily along, probing into this and that. as 1t has done for more than century.
 These official inquiries are ex- pensive, the cost of single investi- gation sometimes running into sev- eral thousand dollars. In many cases 1t has been necessary for mem bers of Investigating committees to conduct hearings invarious parts of the country, and it is a usual thing to make provisions for such trips ,,.han ,osoIu.inpg o,,thoriyyny innuir- ies are presented in the senate or house Stenographic reports of all testimony heard by the investi- gators are always printed for the use of congress and anyone interested in the results of it's labors, but in most cases the printed documents succeed in accomplishing nothing more than gathering dust and turn ing yellow with age.
 It is true that many of these in- vestigations have proved to be worth while, especially when they were fol lowed up by legislation designed to correct or lessen the evils which 1t was sought to uncover.
 A considerable number of sena- tors and representatives have sur veyed the situation. however, and have come to the conclusion that it might be well to put a damper on superfluous Investigations in order that the attention of congress might not be diverted from theserious busf- ness of making the country's laws.
 Despite this growing feeling it Is regarded as unlikely that any re- duction in the number of senatorial or congressional probes can be ex- pected in the near future, because 1t is nearly always possible to assm- ble enough votes in either branch Of congress to get an affirmative deci- sion on the question to probe or not to probe?" when it comes to show down.
 During the present session of con gress, called for the purpose of re- vising the internal revenue laws and passing new tariff bill. the sen ate and house have investigated or are now in the midst of inquiring into the railroad problem, the agri- cultural situation, the mine war in West Virginia. the escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the needs of ex- Service men and the bureaus organ ized for their relief, the federal reserve board and host of lesser subjects incident to routine legisla- | tiol.
