GONvICTS MT WANTED .
 BY JUNEAU c|VIC R0DY

{ If there MS. any sentiment existing among members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce favoring the importation of convicts from the states to Alaska to perform any kind of labor, such sentiment was not apparent at the meeting of the organization held last week, says Strollers Weekly
 The minutes Of the executive board of the chamber at a confab held previously, stated that the suggestion to bring conyicts to Ar aska, even to construct roads that would otherwise be built, was url- animously condemned, but in a sense of fairness it was voted to hold the matter open for another week to give those fayoring the proposition an opportunity for ap- bearing before the executive board and giving their views or1 the sub- 1ect
 One objection voiced against the matter of bringing convicts to AT aska is that, while the more des- perate classes would not be brought here. many short term convicts would complete their sentences while here and be discharged thereby adding an undesirable ele- ment to the present population
