ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July IA
A pledge by the executive council OF
the American Federation of Labor to
rid its ranks of labor racketeers was
made yesterday and, at the same tlme,
William Green president, disclosed IN
veStigation of some racketeerHle
charges already under way.
I'VE regard racketeering as serious
national menace" Green stated at the
meeting of the council. land We have
pledged ourselves to purge 1t from the
ranks OF labor"
William C. Elliott of New York.
president of the International Assocla-
ton of Theatrical Stage Employees ana
Motion Picture Operators, appeared be-
fore the executive council in connec-
ton with the investigation.
Charges in the New York local union
of that organization include manipula-
ton of fees and salaries and manu-
facture of motion picture fixtures by
officials of the union, Green said.
The federation president also indl-
Gated that charges in other Unions may
be investigated, but he would not
specify any scheduled for inquiry.
The Council gave consideration to
charges repeatedly made in the press
and in the courts concerning labor
racketeering." he stated. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is without
authority to take affirmative action as
It has not the necessary authority over
individual unions chartered by national
labor organizations affiliated in the
federation.
I'VE feel, however. that the good
name of the American Federation of
Labor is involved After making an
investigation We deem it our duty to
bring it to the attention of the national
officers of the unions involved with the
suggestion they give careful attention
to all charges and take such action as
Is necessary"
Speaking of the New York case
Green said the council had not passed

VOTE

Almost l2OO-116O to be exacJ-of Juneaus resi- dents have registered to vote in the annual muni- cipal election that tomorrow This IS the largest in the past decade and one Of the largest in the citys history. This registration IS indicative of lively interest in the muncipalitys adminstra- tion and portends an unusually heavy vote in to- morrow's balloting.
 The vote ought to be heavy. Every citizen whose qualifications entitle him to voice in the citys management owes it to himself and to his fellow citizens to exercise that right And this is undouot edly recognized by big majority of Juneau resi- dents as evidenced by the large number who reg stered the first and essential step looking toward voting.
 Two complete tickets are in the field Mayor Thomas B. Judson who has given Juneau five suc- cessful administrations, heads the Citizens Ticket his companions on it being Wallis s. George Henry Messerschmidt and Ralph Beistline. The opposition ticket is headed by A. w. Dishaw with whom are running J. B. Burford Henry Meier and Olaf Bod ding
 Juneau under Mayor0Judsons regime has made splendid progress It has had more permanent public improvements during that period than in any similar time in it's history More permanent streets and sidewalks have been laid, permanent sewer system installed throughout the city, large new school plant constructed the City Dock rebuilt, new floats for small boats built, public gridiron installed and numerous minor improvements made Messrs George and Messerschmidt members of the present Common Council and have given Mayor Judson wholehearted support during their tenure. MT Beistline running for the vacancy left by the ex- piration of the term of H. c. Nordling, like the latter, is employee of the Alaska Juneau All of the candidates the Citizens Ticket have resided in Juneau many years, familiar with it's history it's problems and it's resources. Without doubt Mayor Judson is entitled his record to be re- elected, and believes those running with him should be elected with him.
 Both tickets have pledged efficiency and econ omy" in administration of the city's affairs il elected. Thus, while The Empire is convinced thai Mayor Judson's ticket is entitled on the record o past performances to be successful, 1t has no dis praise for the opposition The caliber of the candi dates on both tickets is so high that the city is assured of continuation of sound, busness-likt administration no matter who is elected.

False Alarm in the West.
Cincinnati Enquirer9


 Evidence piles up steadily indicating the political revolt in the Middle West is not quite as serious as many thought The Liberty Party pledged to nominate William Hope Harvey for President on a cheap-money platform had meeting of its Ex- ecutive Committee recently. Two out of IT com mtteemen turned up. The Coin Harvey boom seems destined to the same fate the scores of agrarlan third-party movements in our history
 Roughly comparable, but more significant and more worthy of consideration, is the candidacy of Governor w. H. (Alfalfa Bib Murray of Okla Ihoma. Murray and, in more discreet way, Garner of Texas represent the dissenting voice of the West bowling for a modern Andrew Jackson to lead them out of the wilderness of debt. But North Dakota which ought to vote for Murray if any State should, has given Roosevelt a substantial margin according to latest returns
 The Southwest may do better than the North west since Murray halls from that quarter But a false alarm Voters appear to be placing theil trust in cautious and discriminating leadership rather than picturesque and promising rebels agains the established system.
 Perhaps the real significance of the Nortf Dakota elections is the trend toward the Demo cratic Party.

 Mrs. Frew appeared to be weigh ing what had been said. Except that her mouth was drawn into a thin hard line. she gave no sign of any emotion. After mom ent she walked to a desk in the corner of her room and took from it a checkbook. She filled in one of the blank checks, unhurriedly, plotting it carefully.
 This covers the rest of your wages for the month, Pound. You may go this morning. And under the circumstances, into which I do not think we need go, you can expect no references from me, of course"
 For a moment Pounds old body stiffened under a wave of anger. He opened his lips to speak, then closed them. He bowed his head took the piece of paper and with drew, shutting the door carefully softly behind him.
 Mrs. Frew stood quite still look ing fixidly at the closed door. Her brain was working with a cold hard precision that kept in check her mounting triumph.

Time Drops Radio.

(WeStern
 Time, the news magazine, has on occasion salo scathing things about newspapers which it did not admire and this in spite of the fact that 1t indebted to newspapers and newspaper services Tor many of the facts appearing in its columns All newspapers, however must feel rather grate- ful to Time for the pointed and pungent manner in which it recently discontinued it's weekly radio broadcast
 The broadcast known "The March Of Time had a wide following which was due, in part te the "leanness of radio fare" according to Times statement. Despite this popularity, however, Time declared that it's belief further expenditure or radio at this time would not justify itself. Times statement continued.

Another Crack in the Ice Jam.
tNew York Herald Tribune.)


 The splendid showing made in the House by the proponents of the Beck -Linthicum resolution has stirred the Senate to emulation. Senator Tydings already has obtained twenty -four signatures to peti- ton to discharge the Senate Judiciary Committee from further consideration of it's anti-Prohbitlon measures and says he expects to get thrty-eght ln all This will not constitute majority Of the Senates membership and very likely, therefore the petition will fail to dislodge the bills, but as in the case of the k-Linthcum vote in the House, lit will register moral victory for resubmisson
 Especially significant is the fact that among the sgners to date are Senators Watson, of Indiana, and Keys, of New Hampshire, two recruits from the dry side. Senator Watson comes up for re- election this year and in State hitherto regarded as private preserve of the Anti-Saloon League. Yet he has chosen to disregard the leagues threat to blacklist" every lawmaker who flirts with re- submission Presumably he has had advces from home that "The Literary Digests figures, which give Indiana a repeal majority of two to one do not misrepresent the sentiment of his constituents for if there is any in American public life whose ear is closer to the ground than Senator Jim Watson's we have yet to hear of him.
 | So it really begins to appear as if the ice jam as Representative Beck has called the dry control of Congress was on the point of breaking up That premonitory booming noise just heard came with the crack caused by Jim Watson's defection

 Then he remembered, with sud- den clarity, just how Kitty had looked. She'd said something about going away. A vague uneasiness tock hold of him. He got up has tily and looked about for a robe of some sort. He must find Kitty at once. And, there being no robe he wrapped a blue silk coverlet around his underclothes, in which he had slept, and went, two steps at a time, up the stairs to his room.

PRAISE FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,

In recently pointing out that the Juneau Chambe Of Commerce is not in the lottery business, tn Seattle Times, commenting a letter to it iron Secretary G. H. Walmsley to that effect, took oc easion to comment favorably the work that 1 being performed by the local business mems organi zation Under the heading, Northern Ice Pools, the Times said:
 The Juneau Chamber of Commerce asks the help of The Times in correcting the mistaken notion held by at least one citi- zen of Los Angeles that the business com munity of the Alaska capital acts as dis trbuting agent for the Dawson ice pool tickets. letter which appears on this page today says the Los Angeles man was moved to send dollar to Juneau because he had read in The Times that tickets could be bought through the Chamber of Commerce of that city.
 This newspaper of course, never made the statement that the Juneau Chamber had any interest in the ice pool at Daw- son. Annually the meager facts concerning the breaking up of the ice in the Yukon River at Dawson and on the Panama at Nenana, Alaska, printed This in- formation is given to announce the re- sumption of navigation on the mighty Yukon and it's tributaries and not with the idea of fostering interest in betting on the time of the event. Aside from natural distaste for aiding gambling enterprise, there is the compelling influence of the postal laws which forbid the dissemination Of such mforma- tion.
 There is still another reason for not meeting the Juneau Chamber of Commerce with the Dawson ice pool. This newspaper knows that the business community of Ju- neau is engrossed in the task of promoting mining, fishing and timber industries the deyelopment of water power and the expan- sion of such cultural influences schools and churches It is ready to supply in- formation concerning big game hunting fur farming. hiking and mountain climbing, but it holds aloof from ice pools and all such reprehensible devices to entrap unwary dol lars
