HEARING K HELD UPON
 zIECLER BILLS
Local Box Manufacturers Argue Their Case Be-
 fore House Committee

Appeals of Southeast Alaska saw mill men for legislation to save the numbering industry from ruin and protests of salmon packers through their representatives here were mingled in about equal pro- portions in the public hearing held Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee on House Bills No. and No. 2, by MT. Ziegler.
 The avowed purpose of the meas ure is to protect the Alaska box shook industry from fibreboard box competition in supplying the needs of the salmon packers. One of the bills provides for an increase of five cents per case base salmon tax and the second rebates the same sum to packers using Alaska made containers.
 Business Wiped Out
 Eldon J. Daly, manager of the Ketchikan Spruce Mills, and pio- neer in the box shook manufactur- ing business, was spokesman for the numbering industry. He told the Committee frankly that he and his fellow manufacturers were fac- ing absolute loss of their business and investments through the re- r,locopaant Af A1ocLo cIooaLc b,, Washington-made fibreboard con- tainers.
 He asserted, however, that the five-cent differential provided for in the ziegler bills was not suffi- cient and declared it should be made 10 cents if 1t was to serve it's purpose. He was supported by Roy Rutherford, general manager of the Junenu Lumber Mills.
 MT. Daly was before the commit tee for nearly an hour. He por- trayed graphically general condi- tions in the numbering industry and declared 1t was within the power of the packing industry to give material relief He told of efforts made to sell Alaska boxes to inter ests which are still packing in wood cases, of promises made and brok- en, of assurances of patronage of local industries and never kept. This thing has gone on for 13 years that know of, and it is time something was done about it." he asserted.
 Plead Economic Necessity
 Gamers, through their agents and telegrams, and the fibreboard manufacturers pleaded stern eco- homie necessities were responsible

OF
 PARTY PRIMARY LAW PROPOSED
Measure Introduced Calling for General Primary
 and RunoH System

Abolition of party primary cleo tions for selecting candidates fo, Territorial offices and substitution therefor of a general primary sys .em is proposed in a new cleo
 ion bill which was introduced to- day in the Senate by MT. Sund. quist, Second Division. It con. tains several novel features, some # which are similar to California practices.
 This bill is intended to replace measure affecting primaries which the same member introduced last week. It was accompanied by companion measure, which provides for party primaries foI the sole purpose of electing dele gates to national conventions and national committeeman.
 Wipes Out Party Ballot
 The first bill would wipe out the party ballot entirely. Names of all candidates would be printed on the same ballot, with the no tation Democrat or Republican, or other party, after the names. The two high candidates for any of flee, requiring the election of one person, would be the nominee re- gardless of party.
 Any candidate for any of flee receiving 60 per cent of the total vote cast for that office, would be the only nominee whose name would appear on the official ballot for the general election. This would not prevent the writing in of names of other persons, how ever.
 Another change proposed would affect the time for filing of. inde :. pendent candidates which under the present law ends on the day of the primary election. Under the Sundquist measure, all independent candidates would be required to file not later than the first Tues day in February preceding the pri- mary, :
 Hours for Employees
 MT. Dimond introduced a new bill prescribing hours of employ ment, vacation periods and sick leave, for all Territorial employees. It would establish a 38-hour week, allow 30 days annual leave on pay, and not to exceed two weeks sick leave in any one year.
 The Senate passed a resolution authorizing the Senate and House Committees to expend not to exceed $500 each in employ ing extra clerical assistance.
 It also passed a measure by MT. Dimond to amend section II, Chapter 13, Session Laws of 1919, relative to filing of contracts of conditional sales, permitting the filing of affidavit of contract for renewals and extensions.
 The Senate was still in session late this afternoon.

 Married in White House
 As a young Representative, MT. Longworth courted Alice Roose- velt, daughter of the President. and their wedding in the East Room of the White House on Feb ruary IT, 1906 was a brilliant af- fair, witnessed by nearly one thou sand notables. Congress adjourned Tor the day to do honor to the tenth White House bride and the Representative from Ohio.
 NIT. Longworth confided later to friends that he soon realized if was somewhat of political handi- cap to be identified as the "son- in-law of T. R'' and the "hus- band of Alice Roosevelt" Some of his political foes sought to at- tach the unofficial title of Grown Prince" to young Longworth but he succeeded by his genial man. her in disarming them, and, with a realization that if he was to forge ahead in the political world. he must stand on his own feet. struck out to ring up accomplish ments as legislator on his own account.
 Party Allegiance
 Family ties gave way to partv' allegiance in the fall of 1912 when MT. Longworth became a candi- date for reelection. Seeking re- election to the Presidency was will liam H. Taft, fellow Cincin- natian who was the Republican party candidate. Opposing him In addition to the Democratic candi- date. Woodrow Wilson, was MT. Longworth's father-in-law rum ming on the Progressive ticket.
 With the encouragement of his wlfe, the daughter of MT. Roose- welt, the Cincinnati representative declined to bolt his party, support- ed MT. Taft and went down to de- feat by a plurality of 101 votes at the hands of Democrat who triumphed because the normal Re- publican vote was split between MT. Longworth and a candidate en- dorsed by the Bull Moosers. Two years later, however, Mir. Long, worth returned to Congress for an uninterrupted stay which culmi- mated in his successful candidacy for the Speakership.
 Popular Representative
 Few men serving in Congress could boast of greater popularity among his colleagues than MT. Longworth. He had political ene- mics, but they were relatively few in comparison with his wide circle Of friends, which included men of all political complexions. One of his "cronies" was Representative Garner, Democrat from Texas. with whom he served on the Ways and Means Committee, while an- other was Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, who. as the Demo cratic leader, matched wits with him on the floor when he was lead- ing the Republican forces.
 Even the LaFollette insurgents. whom he was instrumental in bar ring from party councils for their refusal to support the Republican ticket in 1924. agreed that 'Nick,'
