NO HARD TIMES IN ALASKA.
(Stroller's Weekly.)

w. K. Keller, who returned last week fro man extensive trip over the Territory, reports that he saw no evidence of hard times, nor did he hear anyone complain of hard times. On the contrary he said that he found times very hard in Washington, and especially in the city of Seattle.
 As MT. Keller aptly remarks, Alas ka has experienced no hard times as yet, and by the time the Territory awakens to the fact that times really are hard the depression will be over.
 With plenty of wood, vegetables and meat in the cache, Alaskans have no cause for worrq. At least those Alaskans who have not gathered into the congested towns have not. It may be true that work is nit as plentiful as in former years, but that is be- cause more men have flocked into the country, not because jobs are scarce. In fact there are more men employed now than at any time in the history of the Territory, as hundreds of new business concerns have opened the past few years and the hill have more prospectors than for some time
The Kusko times., 1932-01-09

past. Many of the prospectors are in the hills for the purpose of living off the country, and not with an idea of locating 6 mineral claim. But each man who supports himself away from the towns and cities takes one more from the ranks of the unemployed.
 One hardship that was unlocked for this winter was the proclamatios by the President cutting down wild fowl shooting from ninety to but thirty days. The ducks and geese formerly killed and stored by Alaskans were missed this year, as the flights did not come at the time when the open season allowed shooting. It was hard to get the authorities to under stand that the only Alaskans who hunt for sport are those living in the larger towns. At Yakutat, for in- stance, the residents formerly stored many geese and ducks for winter use. This year they have none.
 Alaskans outside the towns raised bumper crops of vegetables and put up large quantities of native ber- ries-sufficient to last them until the sun swings north again.
 Our correspondents at Tenakee and Gustavus make ones mouth water by describing the many good things stored for winter, the Tenakee corre- spondent saying that Residents will do without turkey and other expen- sive luxuries, and dine on ducks, geese and Alaska berries for Christ mas."
 We see no evidence of hard times in Juneau. The stores are filled with choice Christmas stocks, the amuse- ment houses are filled nightly, the apartment houses and our homes re- sound with radio programs, and the gas stations are doing as much busi- ness as ever.
 When Alaskans begin to cut down on luxuries and start on the old way of living on game and fish, then we will readily believe that people are hard up and that hard times are here.
 As MT. Keller says, Alaska has seen no hard times.

Garner to ShelUe
Repeal If MoUe
Fails Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Speaker Garner served notice yester-
| day that If the Democratic prohibition
repeal proposal is defeated tomorrow no
| other opportunity would be given the
House for another vote on the issue at
the short session.
Firm in his decision to force the vote
in the face Of doubtful result, the
Vice President-elect asserted that If the
present House repudiates the Demo-
| cratic national platform the same pro-
posal would be submitted to members
! ! In the next Congress pledged to sup
| port it.
Democratic leaders conceded that the
outcome would be close, but most of
them were hopeful that the required
| two-thirds majority would be amassed
behind the resolution. Wet bloc chief
tains were rounding up doubtful votes
while the drys had taken no steps to
organize.
Representative McDuffie of Alabama,
the Democratic whip, expressed conf
dence the measure would be adopted.
He based his prediction on poll con-
Quoted by his assistant, Representative
Milligan of Missouri, who informed
Speaker Garner that more than $50"
Democrats would vote for repeal. With
more than ITO expected Republican
votes, Milligan said, 'it will be enough
to put it over"
Senate Action to be Sought.
At the Senate end of the Capitol,
Senator McNary of Oregon, assistant
40
House adopted a repeal resolution next
week, efforts would be made to make it
the Senate's unfinished business after
action on Philippine independence
legislation.
Leaving his followers free to vote as
they wish on the Democratic repeal
proposal, Representative Smell of New
York, the Republican leader, said the
issue was not partisan. The Repub-
lican whip, Representative Bachmann
of West Virginia, estimated that prob
ably 100 Republicans would support it.
With 429 members and vacancies
in the House, 286 favorable votes are
necessary for adoption of proposed
constitutional amendment. But Nc
Dufle said probably score of members
would be absent, and Milligan said
about 265 votes would insure adoption.
In 1OrecaSLlng tIlaC no OCner vote OH
repeal would be had in the House this
session, Garner said this Congress will
be on record as opposed to the Demo-
cratic platform and there will be no
use in bringing it up again"
Il would not favor it," Garner said
when asked whether proposal along
the lines of the Glass amendment
pending in the Senate would be brought
up in event Of defeat of his resolution.
Power Is Limited.
Garner plans to exercise the last of
the great powers still resting in the
speakership by invoking the drastic
procedure of suspension of rules for
action on prohibition repeal. 1t is the
power of recognition.
The Texan will recognize either Rep
resentative Rainey of Illinois, Demo-
cratic floor leader, or Chairman Sum-
ners of the Judiciary Committee, to
offer the proposal on the floor under
procedure that prevents any amendment
from being offered and confines debate
to 40 minutes.
The Speaker has this power on but
two days month-the first and third

i. s. WORKERS SEEK
WAGE RESTORATION
Various Groups to Continue
Fight Against Burdens of
Economy Act.

As Congress assemblies tomorrow fol
a session in which efforts to balance the
budget will be primary issue, spokes-
men for Federal employees will continue
before the Senate Economy Committee
their plea for relief from the burdens
they feel have been placed on them by
the existing economy law.
Adding his voice to others who testi-
fed at yesterdays hearing, John Arthur
Shaw, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, last
night issued a statement appealing to
Congress to take the lead in restoring
wage levels arguing this would be a
step toward better times.
Mr.. Shaw Is one of number of rep
resentatives Of groups of Federal work
erS who remain to be heard when the
Economy Committee resumes it's hear
ing tomorrow At yesterdays hearing
heads of other employe organizations
urged repeal of the economy law either
in whole or in part.
Others Arc Heard.
Among those who testified were:
Thomas F. Flaherty, National Fed
Grafton of Post Office Clerks; M T
Finnan and Edward j. Gaynor, Nation
al Association of Letter Carriers; Thom-
as F. Dolan, National Association oi
Pest Office Clerks; Michael F. ODon-
nell, National Association of PostaI
Supervisors; E. A. Meeks National
League of District Pcstmasters; Henry
w. Strickland. Railway Mail AsSocia-
tion; Luther c. Steward, National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees, and Capt
Milton D. Smith and w. H. McGrath
speaking for the District policemen.
In his statement last night MIR. Shaw
said
The argument that the Government
workers pay should be reduced because
of the reductions suffered by other
workers throughout the country is not
shared by those workers. This is proved
by the fact that the American Fedora
ton of Labor at its annual convention
in Cincinnati last week unanimously
adopted a resolution condemning Gov
ernment wage cuts.
Government Should Take Lead.
These workers believe, and we be-
lieve, that the only sound method o1
bringing prosperity from its place
around the corner is to crowd it out
of hiding by the parade of a host oi
workers marching to their labors to the
quick-step of rising tide of wages
The United States Government should
take the lead in this procession-now
Mr.. Shaw, whose organization is
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, declared his group would wage
a vigorous fight against continuation
OF wage cuts or any other measures tc
effect economy 'at the exnenSe N
human beings" He said the pay anc
living standards of Government EN-.
ployes are the last line of defense
against inroads of lower living stand

tinued, must be maintained at all costs
