LABOR|TES PLAN
DRIVE ON LORDS
Angered by Repeated Refusal
of Upper House to Pass
Coal Mines Bill.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, July l6.-British Labor
quarters, angered by repeated refusal Of
the House of Lords to pass the govern
ment coal mines bill in its original form
and including the 7ia-hour working day,
today considered launching an antl-loros
campaign.
In some circles "the peers versus the
people" was hailed as the issue upon
which the party would seek to wage its
next election campaign-a campaign
which commentators generally expect
before the end of the year.
THE most serious challenge to the
popular will since the House of Lords re-
jected Lloyd Georges peoples budget
of 1909" were the words of the Daily
Herald, Laborite organ, in commenting
on the lords refusal for the third time
yesterday, by a vote of 1913 to SO, to pass
the 71a-hour working day clause, ana
their inSiStence upon a permiSstve 90
hour fortnight
While the cabinet met in special ses-
sion today to consider the situation
arising from the continued opposition
of the lords to the government measures,
a meeting of the national executives OF
the Miners Federation was summoned
to consider what action to take.
The parliamentary Liberal party
agreed that henceforth the party would
vote solidly in the Commons in divisions
where an anti-government attitude had
been decided upon previously. even If
voting in this wise would bring about
fall of the government. The act put in
prospect still another hazard against
which the government must guard in
efforts to remain seated during the next
four months.

The Lesson of Christmas

Christmas has one great less on for the world.
 It is this: Our own happi- ness really depends on how much we help to make others happy.
 Think this over. Grasp the full significance of that state ment and you will realize that never were you so happy, nev- CT were you so satisfied with the world and yourself as when you voluntarily did some good turn for a fellow human.
 We so often get our values confused in this world. We of ten forget that true happiness the thing we really seek in all our striving and struggling lies not in ministering unto Self, but unto our fellow creat- ures.
 Christmas is an occasion that brings us to our senses, that makes us realize after all that we are in this world not strict ly as individuals, but as coop erating members of a great family whose hopes and aspir- ations are one and whose hap piness is mutual.
 Let Christmas Day fix in the minds of each of us the etern- al truth that the more I help my brother to be happy, the happier I am going to be n.y. self.

dent that President Hoover will call an extra session with ex- treme reluctance, if at all, but if obstructionist tactics are pur- sued by those senators of both parties who seem to delight in throwing monkey wrenches into the legislative machinery, he may be forced to do so.
 It is a foregone conclusion that the present economic sit uation will be the subject of much debate, and that all sorts of remedies will be proposed in bills to be offered. The farm relief question is by no means settled, in spite of the present law, passed after several years of ind-jamming on the floors of both houses. The Farm Board will be subject ,d to much criticism, and many pro- posals will be made for mrdi- flying the existing set-up.
 Senator Wagner's lcng pend- ing unemployment bills will have a new airing. Appropri- ations for prohibition enforce ment will inevitably bring on a lot of talk. New bills will be thrown into the legislative hop per as result of almost in- numerable recent investigat- ions by committees of both houses. That hardy perennial. Muscle Shoals, will be the .r!,- ject of another spirited and probably futile tussle. It would take a column to enumet ate all pending questions. each of which somebody or other thinks the most vital issue of the day.
 Amid all this welter of com trovery it is to be remeT bered that the annual supply bills, providing appropriations for all departments of the gove T. ment must be passed. It has been broadly hinted that snm 7. of these will be deliberat fly obstructed in order to compel the calling of a special session. Opponents of the administration deny this, but denials or state ments. of politicians, whether on one side or the other, may be taken with several grains of salt.

 It is reported on good autho- ity that the Sunset group, situ- ated north of the Unicorn and owned by Wm. Filler and as- sociates, will be opened up as soon as supplies can be taken to the property.
 Mrs. Madge Nelson, Hyder's only lady barber, has moved her shop into the new building erected near the Portland Cafe by Gus Erickson.
 Bob Keith is planning an en- largement of the Alaska Grifl to accommodate the spring rush of business, rumbles of which  can already be heard.
 Bill Hall claims to hold a record as a High Diver. He not only dove in, according to the regulations of the club, but dove out again.
 Kate Ryan, one time lady gold commissioner at White horse and now one of Hyder's most enthusiastic boosters, has gone into the commission busi- ness. She will buy and sell any thing from table napkin to a mining claim.
 s. c. Benson, owner of the White Mouse group, located near the shore of Summit Lake and about 212 miles beyond the Forty-Nine, recently placed the property in the hands of q Vancouver syndicate which will start active development as soon as it is possible to get n supplies over the snow crust.
 There being no children in Hyder, this town is taking more than a Platonic interest in preparations for entertain ing the kiddies at Stewart. Mrs. Phil. Backus, Hyder's repre- sentative on the ladies con- mittee who are handling the celebration, says that the resi- dents of both towns have been more than generous in response to the call for funds.
 Jack Sutherland, who said some time ago that Juneau cap italists would have a wharf here by the first of February, was in and out again by private launch last week and gave the information that a company has been organized for the purpose of building a private odck here, and that Juneau and Ketchikan business men are behind the enterprise.

The recent sale of an interest in Premier must be excepted from this state ment, though if a comparison is to be made between the sale prices of the Premier and the Northern Light, it should be made on the basis of the price at which R.K.

He was taken to the home of Don Miller and very soon after was taken to the Wrangell General Hospital where it was discovered that he was also suf- fer1ng from pneumonia and an x-ray revealed that he had developed tu- berculosis. Mir. Blaine remained in the hospital for 45 days after which his wife had him moved to the home of Jack Joseph where he remained one week. Mrs. Blaine then decided as she realized his condition was hopeless. At Juneau he was given medical attention by two different doctors but to no avail.

He joined the Sisters and Brothers Society two years ago and at the time of his death was vice-president of that or ganization. He was also a member of the lecal Salvation Army. He was of a quiet disposition and was generous and thoughtful of any that were in need of help. He will be greatly missed by his friends and especially by the members of the Sisters and Brothers Society, as he was a loyal and conscientious work CT in that lodge.
 He is survived in Wrangell by his wife and a cousin, Mrs. Joe Barney. In Yakutat he has several brothers and sisters. Mrs. Blaine will leave Juneau with the body on June 14th aboard the Admiral Watson for Yak utat where the funeral will be con- ducted. -~

RUBY CAMP LOOKS FAVORABLE
 DESPITE FEAR OF WATER

According to information gathered at Ruby, the whole of Beaver creek from above to 4 below discovery, has been let to lays.
 The reason that the rich pay hole on Beaver has not been crosscut is that water is feared. Water was struck above the pay hole and also below. John Wig, who has a plant upstream, will move his 30 h.p. boil CT to the pay hole and with it, to- gether with other equipment being assembled, it Is believed the flow can be taken care of easily. AS soon as the plant is steamed up drifting will start.
 McCann and Miller put hole down 30 feet on above on Beaver and found six feet of gravel and good prospects. Water was encountered on bedrock. Within 18 hours the water had risen to within 10 feet of the top of the hole They believe pumps will easily handle the flow.
 On 3 below, Farrell and Kennett sank shaft 57 feet, when they struck slide formation. They are again sinking, this time 100 feet nearer the creek. They are not yet down to bedrock.
