 ALL-ALAskA CHAMBER

To cope with commercial prob
 lems Territorialy wide in scope and character, representatives of the various chambers of commerce
 in Alaska, who have been meeting
 for this purpose in Juneau for the
 past two weeks announce the for mutation of the Alaska Territor-
 ial Chamber of Commerce.
 The electing of officers and
 naming of location for the cen-
 t;al executive office for the next
 two years await the action of
 board of managers to be appointed
 by the respective chambers of commerce affiliating with the new body, advised Frank H. Foster who is representing the Seward Cham Der of Commerce at the confer lence.
 Leon Urbacb. merchant and president of the Seward Chamber lof Commerce was nominated by the executive committee of the chamber yesterday to become Sew lard's first member of the board. Tt is assumed that Juneau or Ket- Ichikan will be the town selected for the central office. Babe" Hayes of CordoVa is being recom- Imended by his many friends as the best qualified man in the Ter ritcry for the office of Executive Secretary of the organization. 1t is intended wihtin the week to ask the legislature for an appropria- tion of $10,000 with which to help defray the expenses of maintain ing the central office.
 That a commercial body repre- senting the Territory as whole will have weight and prestige when presenting Alaska's needs in Washington, has been advanced on many occasions of visits by promi- nent iurists and others in the higher walks of public life; the most recent of these was Judge Finch of the New York State Court of Appeals who, with Attorney General William D. Mitchell, then solicitor general was rendered a luncheon by the Seward Chamber of Commerce. Judge Finch par ticularly emphasized the value to Alaska of a general chamber of commerce, representative of the entire Territory.

who are being supported by the
Afridi tribe (Afghans) attack the
shiahs first, as this would probably
result in an invasion of British ter
ritory."
Alarm is felt here that this is a
pretext which the British govern
ment has been seeking to invade
Afghanistan in its preparations
against the Soviet Union.
Official reports go on to state
that military forces are being kept
IN readiness at Kohat and British
airplanes are accommodating.
Base For Attack on U. S. S. r.
The Northwest Frontier Province
has always been the concentration
base of the British against the hill
tribes to the north and lately
against the Soviet Union. Now that
the spring weather is beginning to
open the roads and campaigning is
again feasible, the province is the
fcene of feverish activity.
The struggle between Shah and
Sunni, two sects within the Moham-
hedan faith which are split over the
question Of the rightful succession
10 Mohamet, is hundreds of years
Old. The British government care
fully fosters such splits among its
Moh2metan subjects.

CHEMICAL men
FOR WAGE RAISE
British Union Argues
Case in Court

LONDON, England, April O.
The Chemical Workers Union has
opned its case for increases in wages
and shorter hours before the Indus
trial Court. Twenty thousand work
ers are affected.
The case is the first of its kind
to be argued before the arbitration
court on a strictly technical and
financial basis and the hearing may
be extended.
Output, $40; Wages, $40.
The census Of production figures
show that the output per head per
week is about $40, while wages
barely reach $40 per head.
Trading figures for 1929 show
export trading carrying balances al
most double imports.
The estimated cost of the union
claims will amount to 81 100000 per
year, a figure which this section of
industry can easily stand when
profit earnings are disclosed. Most
concerns are private companies and
dc not disclose their plumber.
Effects of Naturalization.
The effects of naturalization in
the chemical industry were shown
by the ministry of labor figures
showing that in July, 1928, 100000
workers were registered as insured
persons in the industry, against
$4,000 in December, 1927, reduc-
ton Of $4,000.
In drugs and fine chemicals, TAX
ing the same dates, there is a reduc-
ton Of over 1900, nearly Is per
cent. Data is shown establishing
that the output since 1924 with re-
duction of workers is actually over
10 per cent.
The unions case shows all the
benefits" of naturalization in the
chemical industry, profits by the
carload for the investors, unemploy-
ment, poverty and restitution for
the workers.

If AZ men died in a mining dis
aster in a European country with
politically developed working class,
the case would stir up the whole
labor movement. The unbearable
burden of responsibility before the
effervescent mc--es CT labor would
compel even the big business press
to concentrate somewhat on the is
sue aside from the passionate po-
lemics of the labor press.
If the company involved had been
guilty of previous accidents, the po-
sition OF the management and CT
the supervising state authorities
would be seriously challenged by
the Indignation of the masses.
The Kinloch case seems to be diff
fecent. The disaster was a "sensa-

POLICE PURSUE
Two Killed, Two Hurt
Before He Is Shot

NEWARK, N. j., April 2.-Wil-
liam Bell, a Negro worker, unem-
ployed, put up a brave fight against
several policemen after he had shot
man he believed was molesting
his wife in a rooming house, and is
now dead with bullet through his
head, which the police said was self
administered. AS Bell was driven
into an alley by policeman shoot
ing at him, and no one saw the ac-
tual killing, Bells friends here
doubt the suicide story.
Bell interfered when a jeweler
named Rabinowitz came to his home
in a Murray street lodging house
to argue with Mrs. Bell over some
washing that she was to do. What
went on was unwitnessed, but a
fight resulted, and Bell is said to
have shot Rabinowitz.
Fights Arrest.
He then fled, and knowing full
well the short shrift given in this
Ku Klux Khan neighborhood to all
Negroes who have injured white
man in a fight, he fired with shot
gun on those who tried to stop him.
Among the injured was William
Bahrs, who attempted, it is said, to
direct pursuit from an upstairs Win
dow, and was hit by shot from
Bells gun. A Kresge truck tried to
block Bells way, and the man in it,
Charles Ramsberg, bank cashier,
was killed by bullet from Bells
revolver.
Patrolmen Hackett and Cobb
headed off Bell, but when Hackett
tried to shoot him down, Bell shot
the gun from Hackett's hand and
wounded his hand.
He was forced into an alley by
the policemen, and soon afterwards
picked up mortally wounded.
Bell is known to have recently
complained that the police were per-
scouting him.

FARM WOMEN SUFFER

The first report on "non-report-

state commission for New York,
covering the year of 1927, showed
farm women the chief sufferers,
having 13 per cent more diseases
than farm men. The reason was not
given by the commission, but is
thought to be due largely to the
insanitary condition of farm homes,
in which the men do not spend much
