SEEKING TO GET CHANGE
 IN DUCK ED|CT
At Request of Chamber ol Commerce Wires Red-
 iington Urging Change

Declaring that conditions here justify the request of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and other organizations for modification of the duck edict" of President Hoo- yer, another plea for a change in the Presidential order was made yesterday. The matter was re- opened by Charles H. Flory, Alas ka Commissioner for the Depart ment of Agriculture, at the request of the local Chamber which to date has been unable to get any re- sponse from Washington authori- ties on it's petitions.
 MT. Flory was furnished with copies of the Chambers telegrams of various officials. He immediate ly telegraphed Paul G. Redington. Chief of the United States Biologi- cal Survey, reviewing the entire situation and strongly urging some modification.
 He declared curtailment to the month of September was regarded in many sections as entirely too drastic and that the refusal of Alaska's nearest Canadian neigh bor, British Columbia, to curtail the season on the same game birds had aggravated the local situation. He pointed out that some locah- ties would be deprived by the Presidents order of the only avail able source of meat supply, and cause serious reduction in the already too meager food supply.

Prof. Kent is seeking his freedom on bail.
 Doctors at the inquest said they had treated Mrs. Kent for heart trouble with which she had been bothered for the past seven years and which probably caused her death. She slipped from rock and probably drowned while help less, the doctors said.

Chamber Hears Details of Move to Guard Against
 Serious Situation

One hundred and fifty-five per sons of the ci,ys unemployed have been registered up to today by the local American Legion, the Cham b-r cf Commerce was informed to- day, and ways and means of talk ing care of the unemp. oyment sit uation here this winter were ten tat.vely discussed The enrolment of the idle is expected to be fin ished tonight.
 Anyone out of work and not al- ready enrolled shoud sign the list at the Chambers information booth on Front Street. Pred Cameron enrolment officer for the Legion will be there from 6 to 9 o'clock tonight.
 Some Pathetic Cases
 Some of the cases uncovered are pathetic, declared H. L .Faulk- her. who with James J. Connors Dave Housel and Territorial Sena- tor Allen Shattuck, form a com mittee ap point e d last week by President Council to act with the Legion and Municipal authorities in perfecting plans for relief. Some of the persons registered are in &C., tual want and something must bs done to remedy the conditions that prevail" he declared
 The main thing is to avert ar influx of additional men from oth- CT sections, he declared. There are now some 200 or more ids persons here without work avail able fer them. This number will bt materially increased when the Ju- ncau Lumber Mills closes down fer the season. It is evident tha' the city cannot burder itself wlth more than this number.

Pederson, pastor of the Presbyter- ian church of that city who was another Chamber guest today The teaching staff there, he added, is unusually excellent and contains but one new member this year.
 The new Wrangell school is ex- pected to be completed and ready to open by September 28, on which date high school teachers have been directed to report for duty. The new church is also nearing completion. The exterior is fin- ished, and the third coat of paint is expected to be applied this week
 The buildings at the Shoemaker Bay industrial school plant are ris- ing rapidly. The contractors seem to be making race of their work and Rice and Ahlers Company, To- cal contractors, are keeping pace with them in the installation of heating and plumbing units.
 Reck Returns Cured
 John Beck, pioneer banker and businessman of this city who re- turned from California recently, told the Chamber he was entirely cured of the ailment which both cred him for some time. After an operation, I was assured I was perfectly well and my physician told me I would be all right if I came home and behaved myself and I'm trying to do that" he de- clared.
 At last Tuesdays meeting of the Executive Board, members of the Special Bridge Committee of the Chamber and the Douglas Cham Der, and Messrs. M. L. Merritt and M D. Williams met with the Board and discussed the Gastineau Chan nel bridge project, Acting Secretary Whittier reported. The history of the project, including it's present status, was recited and a report DdSeu OIl II l VIII t SuDIlllVcu later to the Chamber.
 Working on Cable Service
 The Legisl tive Committee is working on the extension of the local cable service to a 24-hour basis, H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the Legislative Committee report ed. It will take considerable time to get the matter into shape for presentation to the proper authori- ties, he said.
 The Committee has also written Delegate Wickersham relative to legislation authorizing the purchase of additional ground for the Capi. tol site, he reported.
 During the past week, the Cham Der received more than 40 inquiries relative to this district, MT. Whit tier reported. One of these was from John A. Kellogg, Bellingham Wash, seeking data regarding pulp wood in the vicinity of Juneau. This was referred to the United States Forest Service for attention
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-09-17

in the local movement, M s. Whit 1 tier said the Board of Managers of the Territorial Chamber of Com merce would suggest to all mem- 1 Der organizations that they take a census of the unemployed in their communities, and urge upon them the wisdom of persuadfng their idle to remain at home where they are known and not to roam around from town to town lccking for ic5s that do not exist.
 Will Warn Outsiders Floating unemployed pers ons comphcate the situation and make it difficult to remedy, MT. Whit tier pointed out. Municipalities feel an obligation to care for their own people which does not exist as regards strangers, and business men usually extend credit to per sons they know where they would not to strangers.
 The Chamber. in an effort 70 prevent further influx of indi- vidualS seeking work. authorized he Special Unemployment Com- mit;ee to telegraph Chambers of Commerce in other Alaska towns, Seattle, Vancouver ard elsewhere, asking them to give notice that Jupeaus industries can support no more people. that there are no jobs to be had here now or in the near future. Many of those idle here now. have come to Juneau in recent months because of it's reputation as being a good town with conditions normal
 Census Supports Theory
 The American Legion's census of the unemployed supports this theory. Out of the 155 numbered up to today, 40 have come here this year, and more than 80 of them since last May. One-third of the num- Der are residents of not more than year. There are several pioneer residents of the Territory, few Cldtimers of the community, itself, and several young men born and educated in local schools
 | Out of the entire list, three only have assurances of work elsewhere, 1 but they lack funds to go there. ! Few on the list have any funds at all, and those few are meagerly supplied with money. There are a goodly number Of married men with families who report themselves without work for months and no prospects in sight.
 Council to Act
 | When the City Council meets to- morrow night, MT Faulkner in- formed the Chamber, the matter will be taken up for serious con- sideration. Several methods of re- lief have been suggested. One, which may be adopted by the Council. is to fix a special two mill tax levy on local taxpayers to provide a fund for relief em- ployment, making it possible to launch a program of public work. Necessarily this fund will not os large, but it would take care of many of the most aggravated cases.
 Federal officials have also been interested, and additional public work from that source may be undertaken during the winter months, the Chamber was inform ed.
 All of this, MT. Faulkner sad, would not do more than Sketchily meet the local situation. It cannot be made broad enough to cover any further arrivals from outside points, and this ought to be made clear at all times.
