DELEGATE ENDORSES LOCAL PROTEST OF
 COMPENSATION ACT

AlAOI IS OA LllS A1T OcI CHa4il-
 Der of Commerce to direct tt.
 tention to the need for drastic alterations in the present Alas
 ka wofkmens compensation law is now attracting the at. tention of other territorial com
 mercial organizations and the various officials and newspap- CTS to whom copies of the re cent vigorous resolution of pro test passed by the local body were sent some days ago.
 Judging from comments ap- bearing in the press and in let ters received from individuals and organizations it is very probable that the local protest against the distinctly inhibitiFe and highly discriminatory pro- vision of the act will be strong ly supported during the next legislative session.
 Included among the answers so far received is the following communication from Dan. Sutherland, Alaska delegate to Congress, in which he sets 1 forth in no uncertain terms his views regarding the law.
 The communication, dated July II, reads as follows:
 Your communication of July End transmitting 8 copy of the resolutions passed by the Fly der Chamber of Commerce on June 4th with reference to the Alaska Workmens Compensat- ion Act is at hand.
 Although action to correct the most unusual and unsound features of the compensation act of the 1929 legislature does not lie within my province as Congressional Represent ative but is strictly a matter for the Alaska legislature to hand le, I feel that I am warranted in saying to you that for sever- al past sessions of the legislat- ure proposals have been made to adopt a workmans compen- sation for the Territory that would be based upon the mod ern ideas of some of the pro- gressive states but invariably the proposal has been rejected and we still cling to the anti quated form of the original Alaska Compensation Act. During the last political cam paign in the Territory I called public attention to the ridicu- lous feature that was enacted in the session of 1927 whereby q premium was placed upon the employment of alien work men in Alaska industry. Sever al candidates for the legislat- ure announced that they would try to have that objectionable feature of the law repealed but it is evident that nothing was done to correct it at the recent session.
 Thus an alien has every advan- tage over citizen when seek ing employment, particularly in the mines.
 This feature was placed in the law simply because a large number of young aliens are employed in some of the larger quartz mines of the Territory. Certainly a mine operator is going to employ an alien in preference to citizen when under the law it costs twice as much to compensate for the loss of citizens life as it does

the diplomatic service, and If he were
appointed to head the State Depart.
ment, he would be the first career
man" to be so honored.
In addition to Mr. Fletcher, Dwight
Morrow, Ambassador to Mexico, and
Alanson B. Houghton, Ambassador to
Great Britain, have been prominently
suggested for the position of Secretary
OF State. New Jersey Senators formally
have requested Mr.. Hoover to appoint
Mr.. Morrow. Mr.. Morrow is still at
work in Mexico. however, and has
proven so valuable there that he may
be continued as Ambassador Mr..
Houghton was defeated for the Senate
by Senator Copeland, Democrat, in the
recent senatorial election. He formerly
was a member of the House and the
first American Ambassador to Germany
following the war.
Borah Also Discussed.
Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman
OF the foreign relations committee, has
frequently been suggested as a prob
able appointee as Secretary of State.
He has been in conference with Mr.
Hoover during his staying in Wash
ington
Charles Evans Hughes of New York,
former Secretary of State, was n guest
of Mr.. Hoover for breakfast this morn
ing. as was former Secretary of State
Elihu Root several days ago. The visit
of Mr.. Hughes. who served in the cab
met with Mr. Hoover, led to speculation
whether Mr.. Hughes might not be I'M
der consideration for appointment to
head the State Department again. Mr..
Hughes, however. retired from the STATE
Department couple of years ago at his
own request. He declined to become a
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton last Spring. 1t is not believed that
Mr.. Hughes would again enter the cab
met.
Senator Moses of New Hampshire.
chairman of the congressional commit
tee, called upon Mr.. Hoover to lay before
him revised plans for the inaugural
ceremony at the Capitol March 4.
The New Hampshire Senator still is
strongly opposed to a special session of
the new Congress this Spring. and be-
lieves that a farm bill should be put
through during the present short ses-
sion, making it possible to avoid a call
of the new Congress soon after Mr.
Hoover enters the White House.
Senator Moses recommended to Mr.
Hoover that he appoint George L. Whit
ford of Warner, N. H.. to be governor
of Porto Rico. Mr. Whitford is a lawyer
and has spent good deal of his time in
Porto Rico, Senator Moses said.

that some other man be placed at the
head of the Treasury Department I'M
der which comes the enforcement Of the
prohibition laws.
Mellon Regarded as Liberal.
Mr.. Mellon has been regarded as q
liberal. He at one time had holdings
in a distillery. The information now
is that the dry organizations will not
enter a protest against his reappoint-
ment. Col. Donovan, now suggested
for appointment as the head of the
Department of Justice, under which
comes the duty of pressing the prohi-
bition cases, once they have been taken
into court. also is classed as liberal
although he has a record for vigorous
action in the prosecution of prohibition
law violations.
The question has been raised whether
Mr.. Hoover would be wise to appoint
two men classed as liberals, to head the
departments of the Government which
have charge of the enforcement of the
national prohibition laws. The dryS,
however, are looking to Mr.. Hoover to
enforce prohibition and they are in
clined to raise no obstacle to the Set-up
which Mr.. Hoover may make. If Mr..
Mellon and Col Donovan are SatiSfac-
tory to the President-elect, the dry or
CARNATIONS are likely to keep hands off.
Catholicism Brought Up.
Col. Donovan is a Catholic and there
have been rumors that his nomination
would be strongly opposed In some
quarters on that ground. But such
opposition, if brought into the fore
ground, is likely to aid rather than to
prevent his nomination and confirma-
ton. There has been the suggestion,
too that Col Donovan, VINO had bril-
liant record overseas during the World
War, might be placed in the cabinet as
Secretary of War, and thereby reduce
some of the opposition which might
arise to his appointment as Attorney
General. But the impression is grow
ing that Col. Donovan finally is to be-
come Attorney General.
Senator Oddie of Neyada, one of the
callers upon Mr.. Hoover today, strongly
recommended to the President-elect that
he place Louis S. Gates of Salt Lake City
at the head of the Department of the
Interior. Mr.. Gates is an engineer of
wide experience and is at present gen.
eral manager of the Utah Consolidated
Copper Co. Mr. Gates was an active
supporter of Mr.. Hoover for the presi-
Dental nomination before the Repub-
lican natlonal convention. Senator
Oddie said today that Mr. Gates knows
the problems of the West; that he is
strong man and qualified in every way
for the Office. Mr. Gates has been
recommended highly by other prominent
Republicans from the intermountain
States.
Fletcher Is Doomed.
The speculation today regarding the
probable appointee to be Secretary of
State in the Hoover cabinet centers on
Henry P. Fletcher, Ambassador to Italy,
who accompanied Mr. Hoover on his
recent South American trip. MFR. Fetch
er comes from Pennsylvania. Should
Mr.. Hoover retain Secretary of Labor
Davis in his present place, that would
give Pennsylvania a third place in the
cabinet, situation which is unlikely
to occur Mr. Fletcher has been long in
