BROTHERHOOD COMMITTEE ASKS
CHANGE THAT SAVES $SOO,OOO
ON CONVENTION SESSION ALONE
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen Would Meet Once
In Four Instead of Three Years-AnOther
Change Aimed to Help TuberCulars

When the national convention OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen meetS in San
Francisco on June H. it will have as
one CT its chief problems number
OF proposals for changes in the broth
erhood's constitution, according to w
E. Jones, member of the committee
on constitution, who has lust returned
to his home in Douglas after six
weeks passed as member Oh the
committee to draft the proposed
changes and submit them to the
brotherhoods over the country. ThG
committee thrashed out the important
problems to be brought before the
convention from the mass of those
submitted to it by the brotherhoods
and the final list which has now been
sent back for the action of the
brotherhood locals will be lot to
come to the floor OF the convention.
One of the foremost will be the
proposal to have conventions only
once in four years instead of once
in three years as now. "This move
ment is purely on lines of economy
said Mr.. Jones. Here is the reason
for it. II we save one convention In
a series we by that plan save 100000
to our treasury and so, after due con-
Sideration, we decided that the differ
ence of one convention in period
say OF II years, was not worth
100000 to the cause. quitting it
another way, the machinery for
handling our business is so well CO.
ordinated that there will be no part
suffer by the delay OF one year until
the convention meets. And SO, having
been convinced that there was no
danger to the organization by that
change but financial gam OF almost
one million dollars, we strongly
recommended the change
Another change which fits closely
with the one mentioned by Mr.. Jones
is that which proposes to have the
convention, when held, to meet in
the city where the national shead-
quarters are located. IT that rule
was the present order, the convention
would be held this year at Cleveland.
And by that fact, according tc Mr..
Jones, it would save $4,000 to the
treasury. The brotherhood pays the
travel expenses with certain per diem
allowance out of the national treasury
for all delegates and also the other
items OF national convention expense,
The travel time and mileage expense
alone for the San Farncisco con-
vention will this year cost the na-
tional treasury $4,000 more than it
would have cost, had the convention

FALL SEASON FAILURE

The fall salmon packing indus try has not been successful in Anchorage. When the fishing sea- son was ordered closed by the Bureau of Fisheries on the 4th of August, most of the local canneries did not plan to begin operations again when the ban was to be lifted.
 Owing to the extremely rough weather on the inlet, and the scarcity of salmon, the German cannery here, which started fall packing season decided that the venture was failure. At many of the traps the sea was so vio- lent that the large tenders could not approach near enough to the cows to take off the fish. Fish ermen experienced great difficulty and loss with their traps and nets, as it was almost impossible to retain their lifts in the rough water. They also reported that the run of salmon was decidedly below normal.
 In the earlier part of the sea

personnel of all officials of the Territory should be composed of bona fide resident Alaskans. The Republican National Platform simply declared for the eontinua- ion of the present condition of things. Alaskans ought, by an overwhelming majority, to show the Democrats of the Nation that they appreciate its promises to the Territory and should rebuke the Republicans of the National for their lack of interest. That ma, be done by electing Democratic Territorial and Divisional Tickets. "T h e Democratic candidates, headed by George B. Grigsby for Delegate to Congress and James S. Truitt for Attorney General, Stand squarely on the Democratic Territorial and National Plat forms.
 Tt is the duty of every Demo- crat to vote for and work for the election of the Democratic candi- dates and it is also their duty to impress upon the Republicans who have been voting for MT. Suther- land, that if the unexpected should happen and MT. Hoover is elected MT. Grlgsby with a strong Terri torial Platform and a friendly Ma tional organization can accomplish great deal more for the people of Alaska than a man without any platform and bitter enemy of the Standard Bearer of the Re- publican Party.
