now, and if he is entitled to this pay he ought to receive it, and if he is not entitled to it he ought not to receive it. It seems to me, gentlemen, when we get down to the question here, he is entirely an innocent employee who believed that the Territory of Alaska had the right to en- ploy him; believed they had the right to consolidate the duties of tHese officers, and he perform ed these duties.
 MT. PERKINS. Will the gen. tleman yield a bit further?
 MT. DOWELL. Certainly.
 MT. PERKINS. This is a gen. eral act and applies to any sal aries due to any employees?-

 And so forth.
 MT. DOWELL. But it only ap- plies to one.
 MT. PERKINS. Now, I won der about that. I spoke to the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Sutherland), and am under the impression he said it might apply to a good many.

MT. GIBSON. Will the gentle man yield?
 MT. DOWELL. Yes.
 MT. GIBSON. These services were performed when it was le- gal to pay the secretary the $2,OOO out of the Territorial fund?
 MT. DOWELL. It was suppos- ed to be legal and was legal un- til the court determined that they had no right to do it.
 MT. GIBSON. But the servic- es were performed when it was legal; that is, before the court determined that.
 MT. DOWELL. Yes.
 MT. GIBSON. So there is moral obligation, to say the least, resting on the Govern ment to pay this amount.
 MT. DOWELL. I think so.
 MT. PERKINS. Will the gen. tleman yield?
 MT. DOWELL. Yes. MT. Perkins. Is not the effect of this proposed legislation to re- peal the decision of the court in this particular case?

THE analysis Of location trend de-

by 8. w. Straus and made public here.
This change. builders say. win present

Straus says: Builders point out
that in order to cope on q warranted
basis with the present high-wage struc-
ture, contractors are demanding max
imum of efficiency from all building
workers. This requirement automatic
ally has begun to hold the confines Of
construction work to mechanics to the
age of so years. This condition has
brought about an elimination process
through the rapid return to normally OF
construction activities throughout the
country.
To-day in practically all large cities
of the United States and Canada, with
the possible exception of New York.
there Is o large surplus Of building
mechanics who are unable to find EN-
ployment. Most Of them have just
passed the 5O-year-old mark and seem
unable to persuade building contractors
that their craftsmanship, gained through
years of experience, should Offset any
