Many Picture Brides"
 Reached Hawaii in 1921

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 13.- Japanese picture brides arriving here in 1921 totaled 555, compared with 1,2S8 in 1912, according to an announcement made here by R. L. IIalsey, inspector in charge of the United States Immigration Service.
 The reason for the decrease. he said, is that many of the modern Japanese young men are seeking their wives among the native born Japanese and that the girl from home' has not the charm of former years. The literacy test, he said, has not deterred picture brides
 Nearly everyone from Japan can read and write, and the test is SO simple that even child can pass it." he said.

CONTINUATION
 OF SNOW FALL
 SAYS SUMMERS
Will Be Heavy Tonight and Probably Sunday-Danger
 Threatens Flat Roofs.

Indications point to a continuation of the heavy snowfall during tonight and probably Sunday, according to Meteorologist NJ. B. Summers. In discussing the weather conditions Of the past three weeks, MT. Summers called attention to the fact that q total of 26 inches of snow fell in Juneau from Christmas day 10 D. m. yesterday, and that practically none of this has melted Up to 12:3o m. today the water equivalent of the snowfall that has occurred since Christmas was 205 inches, according to the Weather Bureaus records.
 MT Summers called attention to the danger that threatens flat roofs in Juneau that are not securely supported and from which there has been no melting of snow from heat underneath the roof Assuming that no snow has melted on a roof since Christmas day. the weight of the accumulation is LOT pounds per square foot. A section of roof only 10x10 feet in area would therefore sustain a weight of 1.070 pounds. As some roofs may have somewhat more than the average depth of snow upon them. depending upon their location, and slant with respect to the snow bearing winds, the weight they are sustaining may be oven greater than this, he said.

Going to Seattle on North western-To Be Guest at
 Big Alaska Dinner.

To spend a few days in Seattle Miss Marguerite, with whom Mrs. Bone has been visiting since just before Christmas. Gov. Scott C. Bone will leave Monday on the steamer Northwestern for the South. He ex- poets to return here, accompanied by Mrs. Bone, before February 1.
 The Governor, by invitation from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, will be guest at the Alaska Dinner to be given by that organization and the School of Journalism of the Uni versity of Washington to the State Press Association of the State. This will take place on January 20, at the University Commons. Invita- tions have been issued to editors and other newspapermen all over the State and a big attendance is expected.
 It is possible, said Governor Bone, that he will return on the North western on its next trip north and In any event, unless something un- fereseen arises, he will return by the first of next month. The Gov ernor has abandoned the idea of going to Washington this winter. The meeting of the Canvassing Board, of which he is chairman, prevented him leaving earlier in the year and the early assembling of the Territorial Legislature makes it all most imperative that he return here as soon as possible Unless he is specially called to Washington, therefore, he does not now expect 70 make the trip he said.

 The contention that his wife, Dor othy Thompson Frady was shot dur ing struggle for possession of a pistol, was expected to have been the defense in the trial of Edgar c Frady, Chicago automobile dealer under indictment for murder in con nection with the killing of Mrs Frady in a hotel at Miami Beach last winter.

LOW WAGES CAUSE
 INFANT MORTALITY

Washington, March 3o.-Once again, the United States children's bureau declares that low earnings of the father is mainly responsible for the employment of the mother, with its long train of evils to children and the home.
 The evidence shows that the moth CTS employment away from home during the infants first year of life is detrimental to the infants health.
 The mortality rate among the ba- bies included in the study whose mothers were employed away from home during the babies first year of life was found to be one and one mothers not so employed. The evil effects of the fathers low wages is indicated by this statement:
 Of the mothers in families in which the fathers earned less than $45o, there were 2o.2 per cent gain fully employed away from home dur ing pregnancy, while only I2 per cent of the mothers in families in which the fathers earnings were $I,25o or over were so employed at that period.
 "The greater prevalence of mothers in the low income group is evidently a factor in the high in fant mortality rate which character izes families with low incomes"
 Previous reports of the children's bureau On infant mortality have shown a definite connection between income and infant mortality As the income increases, the infant death rate decreases. This Baltimore study, . based on larger group than the pre- vious studies, permits a closer analy- sis of the single factor of employ ment of mothers.

Baerfacts By J. M. BAER, The Congressman Cartoonist. International Labor News Service
HelI-and Maria Harry

"TIell-and-Maria" Dawes and "Lay-off-the-Prohteers" Daugh- erty have decided that the "Oben-shop" will make a fine issue for the c. o. P. in 1924. It will make a FINE issue, all right. If the c. O. P leaders are foolish enough to follow the advice of Dawes and Daugherty, 1924 will make the hottest little campaign that was ever held in the land of the free and home of the brave.
 It is the common belief that neither Daugherty nor Dawes know what the "epen-shop' is. But what of that -? They do know that the profteers, the looters, the industrial autocrats and Wall Street want the so- called "open"~ shop and that is all they care to know They know that they could raise large sums of money for campaign slush funds and that is the prin- cipal thing they are interested in right now.
 Daugherty would like to GOV CT up his own misdeeds, his fail ure to prosecute the war graft CTS, the oil land steal, the de fation of the farmers and numerous other crimes commit ted by the administration by

Labor Law Improved

Seattle, March 23.-Organized labor induced the state legislature to i'm prove the compensation law, despite strong opposition by federated em- ployers. The waiting period is re- duced from seven to three days in all cases. Time awards for single men are raised from $50 to $35, and time awards for married men are raised from $37.5o to $42.5o; with one child, $52. 50; with two children, $oo, and S for each additional child Orphan children are raised from $Io- to $25 per month, with a limit of $75 for each family.
 These changes were bitterly con- tested by federated employers, who have suffered the worst defeat ever sustained by them, reports President Short of the Washington State Fed eration of Labor
 "The largest lobby ever sent to Olympia represented the federated in dustries and contested every inch, of ground that was gained" he said.

Strikers Are Barred
 By State Legislature

Boston, March 3o-The house of representatives has rejected a bill which would have reinstated on the police force one of the policemen who went on strike here in 1919. After the longest debate in the recent his tory of the house, the vote was 76 to I46 against acceptance of a commit tees favorable report onNthe rein statement of James F. Allen, who had been severely wounded, prior to the strike, in a battle with bandits.
 A substitute bill, which would have authorized the police commissioner to reinstate any former members of the force whom he might deem fit, was defeated by viva voce vote.
 Many of these policemen fought in France for democracy. They have al- ways insisted that if they were ac- corded even a portion of the attention that has since been given strikebreak- CTS, there would have been no strike.
 The misrepresentation of the po- licemen's cause, and their repeated re- buffs has blinded the popular mind to a fair estimate of this situation.

An International News report quotes c. K. Chester as saying that prohibition is anti-christian and anti social He was given wine and cock tails in large quantities when he last visited America, and on all sides he saw secrecy, hypocrisy and treason against the law.
 we are asked to follow with rev erence Americas example. They burn negroes alive in that country, and, although I am not phar1saica1 about that, 1 refuse to admit that a society in which a vast crowd of people can meet together while a man in evening dress sets fire to a negro and roasts him alive, has the right to set itself up as the exemp1ar of nor ality to the world.
 Prohibition is the sacrificing of a mass of normal people to a lot of abnormal people,"

TEXAS LEGISLATURE ; URGES HARDING TO
 SETTLE RAIL STRIKE

In a joint resolution of the House and Senate, adopted March 8, the Texas state legislature has memorial ized President Harding to intervene Ill an endeavor to settle the railroad shopmen's strike. This action fol- lowed refusal of railroad executives to attend a conference called by the governor with the state labor com missioner, the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house.
 Charles T. Connell, United States commissioner of conciliation, Is nwo in Austin making a survey of the strike situation. The memorial, bear ing the signature of the governor and official seal of the state of Texas, has reached the White House. It Is as follows:
 House concurrent resolution mem orializing the President of the United States.
 Honorable Warren c. Harding, President of the United States.
 Whereas on July I, 1922, about 100000 railway shopmen went on strike in the United States (which, as a legislative body, the reasons for which we neither condemn nor con done), and which strike vitally affect ed and stagnated the commerce of the United States; and
 Whereas on July the 3Ist, 1922, you offered your good office as media tor to end the industrial dispute, be- tween the shopmen and the railroad offering terms of set and stated to the federated shop crafts that if they would accept same and the railroad managers should refuse, you would carry your position to the American people; and
 Whereas 1t seems at that time your efforts were unavailing, and that said strike is not ended at this time; therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That on behalf of the people of Texas and the various in dustries therein, that we urgently re- quest that you again use your good office fo bring about settlement of this industrial struggle. Be it further
 Resolved, That copy of this reso- lution be furnished to each United States Senator and each Congressman from this state.''

bringing in the "Open-shop" mummy-a principle which has been dead and entombed longer than King Tut" .>~<
 The "Open-shop" issue will be a capital one. The American people will welcome 1t from the capitalists and their tools. It involves collective bargaining and the RIGHT TO ORGAN IZE. Before the campaign is actively started, Dawes and Daugherty will find that the farmers, stock-growers, coop erative associations and all >citi- zens who believe in the RIGHT TO ORGANIZE will be on the side of labor.
 Just SO long, Messrs. Dawes and Daugherty, as the Big In terests can form a bloc, keep closed shop, hold executive ses- sions in Congress, have secret star-chamber sessions on house boats and organize to rob the people of this country-just so long will the American people retain the RIGHT TO OR GANIZE for themselves, also.
