.DAL LE-LEHLBACH
AMENDMENT:
OFFERED

An amendment to the Dale-Leh-
lbach retirement bill, providing
for per diem Government en.
ployes was offered to the House
Civil Service Committee today by
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, district
auditor.
Major Donovan offered his
amendment after Joseph e.
Evans, Of the Department Of
Labor, representing the Civic
Employees Association Of Wash.
ington, an organization COM
posed largely Of per diem en-
ployeS, asked the committee to
include this class specifically in
the bill.
Opposed by Majority
He said q poll Of the member.
ship Of his organization showed
a majority Of members opposed
inclusion because they feared q
compulsory contribution to the
retirement fund of approximately
$500 each a year.
Donovan'S amendment, as orig.
inally submitted to the com
mittee, excluded from the retire
ment program all per diem en-
ployed intermittently and pro-
vided for optional inclusion of
those with a status of CON
tinuing employment" whose appli-
cations to be included are
approved by the Commissioners.
Representative William r. Sir
ovich, Of New York, objected to
the clause giving the commits
sioners final decision in the mat
ter.
Clause Stricken Out
"The amendment is all right
with me, but I don't want any
one to serve the Government
here for 20 years, or more, and
then be excluded from enjoyment
OF the pension at the whim Of
a commissioner who might not
like him."
Donovan then agreed to strike
out the Objectionable clause and
the amendment was turned over
to the committee for future con
Sideration.
Robert H. Alcorn, chairman oi
the joint committee on retire
ment. representing approximately
10000 Civil Service employees
then urged the committee to re
port the bill favorably.

IS LONE
CHAMPION

One Of the unsung heroes of
congressional legislative battles,
Senator Reed Smoot (R0 of Utah,
today directed the administra-
tion's pending tarifs bill into its
fourth consecutive month Of
senatorial debate.
He has led Republicans in every
tariff war since 1908. In the
present fight, the burden of
battle has fallen on his gray
head while younger tariff pro-
tectioniSts fled to calmer sur
roundingS. Whatever the outcome,
it will be the consensus Of Sena.
orial opinion, that Smoot has
fairly won the right to put his
name upon the bill that is finally
enacted into law.
Taken Gibes
The tariff bill was flung into
Senate debate early last Sep
tember. A month has since been
lost in receSses but for three
solid months, Smoot has led the
Republican tariff fight. When
sessions began at 10 in the morn
ing and lasted until 10 at night,
Smoot was present in the midst
Of the pickering and quarrelling
for nearly every minute Of the
day. He has led debates, replied
to criticisms, carried the other
fellows fight, borne the brunt
Of Democratic and insurgent gibes
and yet steadily carried the bill
along the road to enactment.
At the outset Of the war there
were a number Of Republican
Senators reported ready to lead
the fight and delegate Smoot
to minor role in the back.
ground. There was the youthful
David A. Reed. of Pennsylvania !;
the busineses-like Walter E. Edge,
of New Jersey; the stately Short.
ridge, of California; the peda-
gogic Bingham, Of Connecticut;
the genial Jim" Watson, of Indi
ana; the fiery Couzens, Of Mich.
igan, and the vigilant Deneen,
Of Illinois. They were all pres.
ent and cast in the roles OF
generals" when the war began;
now only Smoot is left leading
the battle SCARED Republican
forces.
The fight has told on Smoot.
He has grown old in tariff wars.
His long service has carried
him to the coveted chairmanship
of the powerful Senate Finance
Committee and his steady perse-
verance has won him, at last, the
right to put his name upon a
tariff bill-upon the now famous
Smoot bill.

An unusually lar ge number of friends of the de- ceased attended the funeral ser vice and walked to Belmont Point cemetery, his last resting place.

Lead Kindly Light" and When they ring those gold en bells for you and me-. The many and b aautiful floral offerings were a tribute to his friendship

At meeting of the Northwest ern Alaska Chamber of Commerce
 held Thursday, the directors auth orized the publicity committee to gather together all interesting in formation concerning the natural resources and potentialities of this, the greatest to be, wealth producing part of the world.
 Thousands of letters are receiv- ed in Nome yearly from people all over the world asking for con crete information about our sec tion of Alaska, including Arctic Ocean points and Siberia. of which NOME is the main distributing point, principally dua to it's fav- orable strategical location, not on- ly for the first and last sailing of vessels before the ice forms in Boring Sea. but also for the reason that the airlines b tween Europe and America are bound to make a base at Nome because We are on the great circle or cur vature of the earth which makes for shorter distance when travel ing thru air.
 Nome and this northern sec tion has supplied stores and fur clothing outfits for many Arctic and Antarctic expeditions and will continue to do so as long as we are progressive and keep our war es and products in the spotlight. the reindeer and fur farms of this section are now on the way to become the largest and most pro fita ble paying business enterpris- es that any community would wish for.
 There are some who will smile and joke about this and that ev- CT amounting to anything in any part of the world, but those who do should not really be censored for the reason that many of them have never given much thought attention or time to look about and interest themselves in the fu- ture of the community or them selves, and are generally interst7 d only in what transpires from day to day and month to month.
 But businessmen do not figure that way as rule. especially in this section of Alaska, otherwis7 We would not have sufficient sug- ar, meat, milk, potatoes. eggs and last but not least. beans. to tida us over until the arrival of the first boat in the spring after nav igation closes in October.

The Alaskan Airways and the Northern Air Transport compan- ies engaged the Hammon Company to blow up the snow on the sum mer landing field. The big 60 cat of the company went over the field yesterday with road mach inc and cut furrows to a depth of about two feet, disturbing it ill such a manner as to make it pos sible to melt quickly. The snow has also been sprayed with crude oil, which it is claimed attracts the sun and causes the snow to melt fast. It is to be hoped that the field will clear rapidly to in sure take-offs' and landings in safe ty, thus making it possible for the airplane companies to expedite their business, which at this time of the year, is unusually good.
