BIG COMP AN|ES OPPOSE CHANGE
 IN INSURANCE
File Protest Against Pro- posed Amendments to
 Compensation Act

Repres n tatives of Alaska $ greatest mining companies, includ- ing the Alaska Juneau Gold Min ing Company, Hammon Consoli- dated Gold Fields, Fairbanks Ex- ploration Company and Kennecott Corporation, the largest employers of labor in the Territory, yester- day appeared before the House Committee on Labor and filed for mai protests against the proposed changes in the Workmens Com pensation Act.
 Each of them declared flatly their companies made no dlstinc- tion in the employment of married and single men, and that they did not discriminate against American citizens in favor of foreigners. They argued that to change the present requirements of the law would be in effect to penalize 90 per cent of the industry, which admittedly is not abusing the law, to prevent possible abuses by very small mi nority.
 Different Remedy Suggested
 J. A. Hellenthal, appearing for the Alaska Juneau, suggested to the Committee that the evils com plained of could be remedied by a law making it a crime to dis criminate between married and single men and between citizens and aliens. In that manner, he said, the guilty persons would be the only ones affected and the great body of the mining industry, operating upon broad public pol icy, would not be needlessly and unfairly penalized.
 He and others appearing defend ed the Alaska Workmen's Compen- sation Act as paying the highest average benefits of any similar law under the jurisdiction of the United States. Among the other witness es were: Judge O. D .Cochrane, H. L. Faulkner, H. L. Metzgar and James Daly.
 Little Business Today
 The House spent most of it's hours session this morning debat- ing parliamentary law and pro- cedure as members supporting the Bragaw Senate bill to subsidize radio broadcasters, defeated in the House yesterday, fought futilely to get through motion to re- consider yesterdays vote. They lost, but not without some acri- monious argument.
 Four memorials were introduced before the House recessed at noon. There was a prospect that a flood of bills would reach the floor this afternoon as this is the forty-fifth day, the last on which general bills can be introduced except by the rules of procedure.
 MT. Hellerich introduced me morial asking Congress to appro- prlate Sufficlent fundS TOT the Geo. logical Survey to assign two addi- tional engineers to the Territory to cooperate with it in mining re- search activities. MT. Nerland is the author of another protesting against the sale of the Alaska sys- tenn of communications by the Gov ernment to private interests. MT. Johnson was sponsor for the third, urging the extension of the Smith, Act providing Federal aid to schools for vocational training. A memorial by MT. Brosius seeks to direct the Highway Engineer to prepare alternative plans, esti- mates and specifications for a s250 .00O Pioneers Home to be erect ed in 1893.
