" sternly warned the striking coal
miners out there that they must cease
picketing under penalty of arrest, so
the l. w. w. leaders who are conduct
ing the strike decided to abandon the
illegal practice. For it they substituted
the holding of mass meetings of the
idle men near the mine shafts at the
times when workers were coming off
shift. The operators and citizens OBJ
jected to this as merely another form
of picketing, which would intimidate
the miners who wished to work, but
at this writing the governor had not
stated what action he would take,
further than to say that he does not
yet contemplate issuing an order call
ing out the National Guard. In the
southern field the operators said
many men were returning to work.
Japan started off the week with a

to submarines and hospital ship and
including the new airplane carrier
Akagi, displacing $1,000 tons. No
planes took off from the latter, but
swarms of them from the Yokohama
base flew over the fleet.

IN WIGHT MORROW, the new am
~ bassador to Mexico, seems to be
making a good start toward settling
amicably the troubles between that
country and the United States, and
President Gales shows a disposition
to do all he can to assist in the
process. One day last week Gales
took Mr. Morrow out to his hacienda
at Los Reyes for a breakfast of ham
and eggs and they were said to have
spent several hours discussing the
most serious questions in American
Mexican relations. Mr.. Morrow's ex-
ceeding good humor on his return to
the capital indicated that the negoti-
atoms started suited him, and it was
said he and the President would have
other informal conferences. It is I'M
derstood in Mexico City that the am
baSsador will undertake to negotiate
a new treaty of amity and commerce
to replace the one rescinded several
months ago. Many Americans al
ready have presented to him matters
which have been pending since the
departure of former Ambassador Shelf

Of third party, but it was not men,

FIGHT FILMS BARRED BUT
RADIO REPORTS UNHAMP-


l1EED.
Mr.. Tex Richard will some
day write an enlightening book
on prize fighting and prize
lighters after he gets through
with both. Just now he feels
that the radio takes part of his
Profits. At the last million dol
l4r fight there was one seat I'M
sold, until quite late in the aft
crnoon. Mr.. Richard suggests
that listeners-in on the radio
should pay twenty-five cents
each for the pleasure of enjoy
ing fight details. That would
produce a five or ten million dol
lar fight, and enable Mr.. Rick
ard to begin, sooner, writing
his book, Gloves / Rave Put
On Others
Some, unsympathetic, sug-
gest that, as the Government
can control radio, it should for
bid broadcasting, brutal and
bloody details of prize fighting
in millions of homes. Govern
ment will not allow moving pic
lures of prize fights to be car
ried from one State to another.
Why allow the story, by radio,
to be carried into every State.
It is the broadcasting of
prize fights that eventually will
STOP prize fighting. Clergy
men, listening in will combine
to stop the brutality, and they
will be able to do it. Prize fight
ing is a REAL moral issue,
more important than Jonah
and the whale, or Darwin and
monkeys.

There is the logic used by Jack Dempsey, ex-champion in turning a deaf ear to the entreaties of Tex Rickard, to participate in MT. Rick ards well known series of elimina- tion bouts in New York.

(Juneau Empire)

By vote of eight to seven, the House overturned the practice of IA years, prevailing during the previous seven sessions and put into the hands of Speaker Sumner Smith the power to appoint the powerful committee on committees. Heretofore, since the very first session of the Alaska Legis- lature, this power has reposed in the hands of the delegations from the four divisions
 The stripping of the delegations was opposed by seven members, headed by Representative Murray, Cordova, but they were overridden by the ma jority. And the Speaker promptly named the committee which is charged with the duty to apportion the assign ments to members for regular stand ing committees.
 The motion, the adoption of which swept aside the precedent and practice
  quist, Candle, who moved that the Speaker be empowered to appoint the ray moved an amendment that the del egation from each district elect it's own member to that committee, as in the past. The amendment was lost. Ross, Paul, Sundquist, Benjamin, Fer guson, Worth, Johnston and Smith voting against it, and Murray, Fisher, Goffney, Rydeen, Sheldon, Scott and Grier voting yes, on rising vote. The original motion then passed nine to six, Grier voting for it with those who had opposed the Murray amend ment.
 Speaker Smith then named Ross, Paul, Grier and Sundquist on the com mittee on committees.
 The Speaker then appointed Messrs. Rydeen, Sheldon and Benjamin as committee to inform the Senate the House was organized and ready for business He also appointed Messrs. Fisher, Murray and Ferguson to inform the Governor of the same facts. The House adopted the 1925 rules with the provision that changes might be made later in the session.
 The House appointed its staff of clerical and stenographic employees. Mrs. Nita Mcqueen was named as sistant clerk, and Miss Dorothy God dard, Miss Darlene Berry, Miss Alice Case, Mrs. Nadia Vestal and Mrs. Ben A. Grier for typists and stenogra- phers.
 The House also received a Senate committee notifying it the Senate was organized.
 The report of the committee on com mittees was rendered at the morning session of the House and was adopted without discussion. The following committees were named in it:
 Banks, Banking and Corporations Scott Lomen and Fisher.
