F|VE-DAY WEEK SET
ASA. F. OF |. GOAL
Greater Production Predicted
by Green-Lab0r to Enter
Life Insurance Field.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. Mich, October 4.--Com-
mitted to the five-day week as the
next major forward step for 1.-The
highest paid workers in the world
executive officers of the American
Federation of Labor turned today. in
the opening sessions of the fedora
tons forty-sixth annual convention,
to multitude of problems centered
on the welfare of American labor.
Eleventh-hour agreements between
groups widely separated on several
veXatious questions opened fair
prospect for the two weeks assem-
blage, bringing forth the prediction
of prominent leaders that the entire
time probably would be devoted to
deliberations upon constructive poll
cies bearing directly upon the i'm
mediate program Of the organization.
Foreboding divisions of sentiment
in the preliminary gatherings last
week on the question Of relations
with the Mexican Federation of Labor
were bridged by an informal agree
ment by representatives of a majority
of the convention voting strength to
accept without debate the reCOmmen-
dationS of the executive council on
Mexican relations for the coming
year.
Fiye-Day Week Stressed.
The executive councils report was
the first OSder of business at the after
noon session.
The fiveday week of 40 hours was
defined as cardinal point in the
federations policy of constructive
urOnreSS' bN President William
Green, after the final pre-convention
gathering of the executive council
yesterday.
Although it was a mere coincidence
that the announcement came in the
city in which Henry Ford last week
declared the five-day week the OPP
erative wage base for thousands OF
workers in the motor industry. Mr..
Green alluded to the Ford program as
a sign of the times. The automobile
industry was mentioned as one now
ready for the shorter schedule. Other
fields ripe for the step, in the view
of Mr.. Green. are the building trades,
mining industry and needle crafts.
No Reduction in Wages.
The five-day week seems inevitable
in American labor" Mr.. Green said.
for the simple reason that it is eco
nomically sound and profitable. 1t is
profitable for the worker and for the
employer. and has been tremendously
successful in the numerous crafts in
which it is already partially effective.
"We have constantly maintained
that hours must be reduced in direct
proportion to increased productivity

Rt. Rev. Jos R. Crimont, eonse- crated Bishop and assigned to AL aska July 25th, 1917, left Juneau Sept. End to make his pilgrimage to Rome before the close of the Holy Year and at the same time to make his report on the condition and progress of the church in Alaska.
 Before starting out on his long jouurney to the Eternal City, Bish op Crimont spent several months collecting maps and other matter which supplied him with data for his report concerning the various Catholic churches and missions ir the different parts of Alaska.
 Alaska may be unknown to a great many in the world but nt one has done more, perhaps than Bishop Criment to advertise Alaska
 One of the outstanding features of the pilgrimage to Rome turing the Holy Year which began Christ mas eve, 1924, and came to close midnight. Dec. 24, 1925. was the missionary exposition in the yati can which was a grand display Of missionary work as is being carried on in all parts or the world The part played by Fathers and Broth. CTS and Brothers and good Sisters of the Catholic church in Alaska was one that could not but interest the hundreds of thousands of pil. grims who journeyed to Rome this year 10 pray at the tomb Of the Apostles and pay their respects to the Holy Father whom all regard as the Father of christendom.
 As one entered the great hall in which the missionary exposition was held the eye Of the pilgrim was attracted by very large picture hanging on the wall before him II was an Alaska scene In the cen ter Of the picture lay a missionary frozen 10 death on the trackless waste Of Seward Peninsula. Besidf the dead missionary stood his faith ful malumute who for three day and nights kept vigil over the body Of his dead master.
 Bishop Crimonf carried with him to Rome many maps and much his. torleal data which will help very much 10 make Alaska better known not only in Europe but fn the whole world Having finished his work in the Eternal City. the Bish= op spent some time visiting other places Of interest ia Europe. then hastening hoping 10 be in Juneau in time for Christmas. but when ar. irving in Seattle he was forced 10 go to Providence Hospital 10 reeuz pnrste and regain hia strength b. fore sailing for Juneau

Two gannets cam and took up their home on thc over a month, and only leaving when the weather got cold and flying fish scarce.
 It has been my privilege to make a voyage that for romantic adyen- ture has probably never been sur passed. but I never dreamed thaf upon reaching home 1 would find myself sudednly famous and in de mand as an after dinner speaker I am overrun with callers, and need a secretary to look after my yolum- inous correspondence.

Mellieh was engaged in trapping without an Alien Special Lieenee. IL seems that Mellieh had full knowledge Of the license being required and had indicated that he would not take out such a license. After being found with a fox in one of his traps and two rifles in his possession. he was still given an opportunity to escape pro- seeution by taking out the Alien Special License He refused to dc this. case was filed against him at Nenana for illegal trapping and he demanded a jury trial. He was con- Yieeted. fined $50. and sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Basketball Game Is Played With
 Outside Team

In two hotly contested games. the most thrilling seen on the local hoop-field in the past two years, Moran and Wrangell played q tit for-tat schedule. Moran took the first game by a 1912 score. but generously gave the locals the sec ond game by a seven point margin.
 The .jinx." patron saint Of the luckless. made his appearance at the first game and lowered over the locals. Despite we'll laid plans, rap idly executed as far as scrimmage. the Wrangell basketeers were un- able to tip the ball over the edge of the steel rim and perfect their plays; consequently, many pros- pective baskets were lost due to poor shooting in a clear field.
 The second quarter. judged solely on its merits, could not be excelled for rapid movement coupled with close checking and proficiency in technique. Case guarded with the despatch that kept the visitors from running up a high score. this was the most heady piece of work done on the floor.
 But only when Coats shot an- other basket for the opponents did Wrangell sense her danger. Wheel CT then dribbled the ball for score. Bratnober was called on personal and Desmond drew the balconies by executing a free shot with perfection. Hull gained the ball after a series of rapid passes and hooped the leather from scrim- mage. Wrangell recovered the ball after the tip-off and Wheeler speetaeularly sent 1t through the ring Coats again took the ball un- der Moran's basket and discharged shot that brought the game to 9-7 score at the half.
 Tn the last half of the game the scoring was kept down by a close checking. Singularly. during the remainder Of the game two bas- kets were made by each team. Des- mond chalked one in each quarter for the locals and Rogg performed the same feat for the visitors. The whistle blew just as Desmond ad- ded another point by virtue of a foul called on Hull The game ended 1912

Roses in Bloom In Alaska in
 MidWinter
Not Greenhouse Products, But Roses on Bushes in the Gardens of
 Wrangell

Wrangell is able to report to the world climatic phenomenon in that the present winter in this sec tion of Alaska is so mild that beau tiful roses are now in bloom out in the open yards along the streets of Wrangell.
 During the past week while the steamers were in port there was stream of passengers to the yard of Eddie Kalkins on Front Street where beautiful white roses are in bloom out in the open. There are also several roses to be seen near the site of the old Sanitary canEery A number of local residents have taken kodak pictures of roses in bloom in Wrangell in January. And as prima facia evidence of the mild ness of Wrangell's climate one woman sent some roses by mail to relatives in Canada.
 Tie roses that are now to be seen in Wrangell are not greenhouse products but are on bushes out il the open yards with no protection whatever from the weather.
 In the December number Of the American Tourist Magazine there appeared a splendid article under the caption. "Alaska-Wonderland. . by John Hooper. president Amer ican Canadian Tourists Associa- tion. In this article President Hoo- per says:
 During my trip to Alaska late
 in the year I found wonderful
 flowers. vegetables and berries
 growing in profusion. And when
 I say that strawberries were
 picked in Wrangell. Alaska, on
 the 18th day of October, I can
 support that statement with ac-
 tual photos which I brought back
 with me, and which were taken
 on the dates mentioned by my
 self
 If the distinguished head of the American Canadian Tourists As sociation were here now he could have the pleasure of taking some midwinter pictures that would tell a story far more significant than that of strawberries in October
 The winters of Southeastern Alas ka are never severe. and it is not uncommon for the ground to be en- tirely free from snow in January while lawns are green and bushes are budding But roses in bloom in January betoken a winter of more than usual mildness in this far northern region.
 Alaska in the minds of the resi- dents Of the States Is considered a cold. barren, desolate country with an austere and frigid climate. and yet if is a banana belt in compari- son with many regions Tn the States.
 A few days ago we noticed a dis patch which stated that the mer- cury was 30 below at Hihbing. Minnesota. On the same day the thermometer registered 4s above in Wrangell. Surely Wrangell Is fa- vored by having a climate that Is so delightfully."- tempered by the Japan current
