means of solving that problem. However, it has no place in the present discussion; for if all the idle men in Alaska could be en- ployed, how are we going to ex- tract from them the sum of from $25o,oOo to $50o,OoO per annum to pay the additional expense which we are now called upon to con- sider The assistance of the Ju- neau Chamber in solving this phase of the problem is surely what Del egate Dimond seeks.

lures. These expenditures have increased since 1917 from 100 per cent to 300 per cent. And that is not all. In 1917, we had at least 35 more canneries in operation than we have today We had the
 Treadwell, Chichagof, Gastineau and Kennecott mines in operation; the Kennecott mine alone paying from $100,000 to $220O00 year in taxes. All these have now gone, and with them considerable por-
 ton of the population of the Ter ritory. In other words each suc-
 cessive legislature has been faced
 with the problem of getting more
 and more from less and less.
 In dealing with this subject I
 have not consulted any salmon
 packer-although I have one client
 which alone paid last year in direct
 and indirect taxes in the Terri tory, $199,0O0, in the face of a loss
 of $500, ,000-nor has any of them
 communicated with me about these
 bills; but what I say for myself will surely apply to salmon pack CTS, and, if it is taken by anyone as having been said by an attorney pleading for his clients, it cannot possibly alter the facts.
 
 If you, or anyone else, will ad vance some concrete, practical sug- gestions concerning the means of raising the additional revenue re- quired. you will render a service to the Chamber in it's consideration of the economic question before it. And 1t will not do to simply say that if the Territory is given con- trol of the fisheries it will force the salmon canners to employ more To- cal labor, and thereby relieve dis tress and indulgence caused by lack of employment Such assistance as the Territory is now obliged to contribute to relief work comes mostly from the fisheries. Terri torial control of the fisheries would not lift the burden of relieving those in need from your shoulders and mine and transfer it to the salmon canners. They already have it. It might well shift a large DOT ton of it from them to us
 You know as well as I do that until three years ago it was ex- tremely difficult for canneries to obtain labor in Alaska. In fact some of them were openly con- demned for having enticed few men away from the mines during the fishing season. However, con- ditions have unfortunately chang ed and we have a large number of unemployed men,-although not nearly enough to man the fisheries if all outsiders were barred Tt is not fair to take the attitude that the dis tressed salmon packers should suddenly find means of find ing employment for all the unem- ployed. I fully agree with you
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-05-30

that much more can be done in this direction than is now being done, although it is difficult and delicate matter to adjust without defeating it's own purpose. It can not be done overnight. Neither can it be done by legislation. It will require the assistance of all think ing men and of the Chamber of Commerce in Alaska working in cooperation with the salmon pack CTS, not in opposition to them. You also know that this matter is now receiving the earnest and sincere attention which it deserves. The Juneau Chamber will hear more of this in the very near future, and it will be asked to express it's opinion, and to discuss ways and

 may not be a single salmon packer opposed to it. But the first ques- ton should be solved first, and that is,-how is the Territory to obtain the necessary revenue. AS Bardolph said to Lord Hastings over 800 years ago: When we mean to build, We first survey the plot, then
 draw the model; And when we see the figure of
 the house, Then must we rate the cost of
 the erection; Which, if we find outweighs

l2OO CLERKS GO
 OUT ON STRIKE
Philadelphia Meat and Grocery Stores Were
 Hard Hit To-day

Philadelphia, December 2S = CUP) - Twelve hundred grocery and meat store clerks went out on strike here today.
 The strikers demanded higher wages and union recognition.
 Strike leaders estimated 500 fruit clerks. $50 grocery clerks, 200 meat cutters and 150 truck drivers were affected by the walk out.
 Chain grocery stores were af- fected by the strike.
 Fruit and grocery clerks 'de- mand a $17.50 weekly wage for apprentices and $2O for experienced employees instead of the $15 rate now paid to both classes.
 Meat cutters asked a new wage scale ranging from $15 weekly for inexperienced men to $40 for first grade workers. The meat cutters now get between $10 and $37, ac- cording to classification.
 The regional board tried vainly to negotiate a settlement before the strike was ordered today. There was no dispute over the 4O- hour week in the MIRA code, but companies and employe represent tatives were unable to agree on wages and a closed shop proposal.

Waterville is gradually digging itself out of the heavy blanket of snow which arrived on Tuesday. The street department has done a good job in keeping the main thoroughfares open but has not yet been able to do much on the side streets. many of which are very difficult to drive over. Drifts at various points add greatly to the difficulties. The Connecticut com pany has kept its tracks we'll cleared but at times has been un- able to maintain dependable ser vice.
 The temperature this morning dropped to a new low for the pres ent season, thermometers early in the day registering around 12 and 13 degrees below zero.
 Sunday School Party
 The annual Christmas carol ser vice and Christmas tree exercises of St Pauls church school were held at the Manville street parish house last night, having been post poned from the previous evening because of the indictment weather. An excellent program of carols, hymns and recitations preceded the distribution of gifts.

Special to The, Democrat)

Providence, R. l., Dec. 27 = A threat to the Christmas tree, pulp wood, and lumber supplies of the United States and Canada may be dislosed by experiments with the white fir blight which are being carried on at the Government For est Pathology laboratory and the department of botany at Brown University, it was revealed today.
 These experiments are to deter mine whether the recently discover ed blight which strikes at the or- namcntal white fir can be trans ferred to other evergreens. Young frs of several varieties, including the balsam or Christmas fir, are being inoculated with spores of the white fir blight. Developments will be studied periodically.
 If it is discovered that other are susceptible to the disease, govern ment laboratory and Brown Uni- versity scientists will turn towards plan for fighting a general spread throughout lumber regions. The blight disfigures white frs and eventually kills them.
 We have not yet determined how destructive this new pest will be to the native balsam fir." Dr Walter H. Shell, chairman Of the Brown University department of Botany, said today. We are an- xious to find out inasmuch as the balsam fir is not only one of our important pulpwo dtrees, but in the east it is our best Christmas tree. 5 "In addition, there are many kinds of frs in the huge forests of the Western United States that are possibly in danger from the att tack of this newly imported pest. If these Western timber trees are susceptible to the disease, it is only a matter of time before it will be spread westward and cause damage that no one cares to contemplate" !"
 The white fir blight was dis covered two years ago in growth of 500 young white frs at Hamil- ton, Mass, by Malsolm A. Mcken- zie. research pathologist at the government laboratory, Brown University. The identity of the fungus which causes this disease was established by pr Alma M. Waterman, laboratory pathologist.
 Since that, time the blight has been observed by Mir Mckenzie in white frs not only in Massa chusetts but on es-ate in the Lake George section of Upper New York State, where thousands of Christmas trees are grown, and in the lumber re- gions of Maine. Field surveys un- der the auspices of Brown Univer- sity an dthe government laboratory, which has charge of government work on the disease of shade and ornamental trees throughout the nation, are, being pushed to see whether the blight is spreading.
 Signs of the disease are withered needles, first seen, at. the tips of small branches. Within three or four years the entire tree becomes infected and fungoid growth ap- pears on the mark of blighted
