ECONOMY HITS
SCHOOL NEEDS

A move designed to save a few
hundred dollars for the District
may cost the Industrial Home
School it's entire appropriation
of $4,000 for school furniture, it
was revealed today.
In an effort to decrease the
cost to the District by making it
possible to receive bids on the
entire school furniture needs, the
industrial school included its re-
quirements with those of the other
school buildings.
The contract for the furniture,
awarded in June before the in
dustrial schools appropriation
died. is now being contested.
Should the P. Derby Company, of
Boston. to whom the contract
was originally awarded, fail to
receive the contract in the pres
ent litigation, the school will have
no furniture this year.
The contract was recently can
celled following a decision handed
down by Comptroller McCarl. The
John E. Sjostrom Co., Inc. of
New Jersey, had asked for a hear.
ing when it's low bid Of $4,000
was refused on the grounds that
it's samples did not meet the
specifications. Mr.. McCarl ruled
that the furnishing of samples
was unnecessary.

Davis Quits Trouble Zone
After Gas Attack

SCRANTON, Pa, July %
G.N.SD.-U. S. Senator James j..
Davis left here today after at
tempting to act as mediator be-
tween warning factions of the
United Mine Workers of America,
whom he was to have addressed
at their district convention when
a riot broke up the session.
Confused and contradictory re-
ports of Senator Davis having
been seriously "gassed" when po-
lice hurled tear gas bombs to
break up battling miners were
rife.
Davis Left Hall
State and city police on duty
at the convention hall today as
serted Senator Davis had dome
just what anyone who got a
whiff of tear gas would dO-he
left the hall and he wiped his
eyes when he got outside"
Witnesses to the disorder as
serted that none of those on the
speakers platform was much af-
fected by the gas.
Tries to Settle Row
It was disclosed today that
Senator Davis, after the riot, had
attempted to settle the differences
between the mine factions. He
summoned Thomas Maloney,
Wilkes-Barre insurgent leader, to
his hotel and suggested the in
surgents make peace with the
administration faction so the con-
vention could proceed. He then
visited Boylan and urged the ad-
ministration forces to make a
truce with the insurgents. at least
for duration of the sessions.

BUILDING FATE
UNSETTLED

Demolition of the District Build
ing will not be certain until de-
molition actually begins, accord
ing to Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd,
who thus laconically said that no
one knows what is going to hap
pen to the structure.
He admitted his personal hope
is that the building can be saved,
thus aligning himself with those
who feel the destruction Of this
large building just so all build
ingS in this area can be exactly
uniform would be wasteful.
He reminded, however, that
many individuals, many influ-
ences, many groups and ideas
must be considered in the final
analysis.
Concerning the possibility that
the exterior might be remodeled
a bit to conform a little more
closely to the adjacent new buud-
ings, he reminded that the District
Building is two decades old,
which in these days of office
building construction is a consid-
erable time. He admitted, how
ever, those who want the struc-
ture replaced by structure Of
new architectural design have
some logic on their side.

CHURCH URGED.
To FIGHT RUN

Efforts of vets to divorce the
prohibition question from the
church were condemned today by
Albert E. Shoemaker. executive
secretary and attorney of the Dis
trict Anti-Saloon League, on the
ground that their efforts consti.
tuted a grave danger to the future
of the Eighteenth Amendment. =
Citing his long connection with
the organization he heads, Mr..
Shoemaker said:
"My experience has shown
me that national prohibition
will be successful only if the
churches of the country and
their constituents continue the :
active support Of a cause for -
which they are primarily re-
sponsible. This cause will die
if dry leaders or the churches
heed the frequent Suggestions Of -
the wet group that this ma
tional policy should divorce it. :
self from any relation to Or
ganized Christianity"
Mr.. Shoemaker urged the'
churches to forget their denor1i.
national differences and units
with the Anti-Saloon League in
the fight against liquor. He as4
serted that only by presenting q
united front can prohibition hope
to remain.

Declaring that he was at

dignified," and in no sense re.
flecting upon the bravery of Lord

Mr.. Bloom, who is associate
director of the George Wash
ington Bicentennial Commission,
was replying to criticism of the
proposal to include the scene in
the exercises commemorating the
150th anniversary of the Ameri-
can victory at yorktown, on the
ground that it would offend
British guests invited to the
affair.
He said:
"The spectacle is grand in its
simplicity. one of the most
imposing. dignified and Signifi-
cant events in history, and was
not a day of humiliation for
the British, as some have
charged"

$13,602,0O0 S16,o56,0 ,000 General Conditions

General industrial com d itions similar to those of the United States and of practically all other countries of the world prevailed in Alaska in 1880 and are reflected in the decreased value of it's min eral output. The price paid for the mineral commodit.cs other than gold were so abnormally low as compared with 1929 tha uore than two million dollars Of tae decrease was due to tn cause aione. The low prices. however. had perhaps an even greater effect in deterring development oi mines whose ores carry principally the base metals, so that their output was either curtailed or altogether stopped.
 Obviously this is temporary condition that will disappear in time, and there is nothing in the general condition of the Alaska mining industry to indicate per manent decline. Tn faet, tn in creased production of gold zr3m

 the serious depression in SC many of the nations industries s an encouraging feature that giVes as surance of still further growfh a.
 general conditions improve and capital and effort once more seek productive employment. The grow ing education of people to the really favorable conditions that prevail in Alaska, the constant in- provement in transportation facili- ties, the experience gained in past mining ventures, and the success of mining enterprises Throughout the Territory. although diminish ing the glamour of Alaska, are all aiding in removing handicaps that hampered development of sev- eral of its basic industries, of which mining will long continue to be one of the most productive.
