PACKERS REQUEST REASONABLE.

The request of the Alaska and Pacific Northwest packers for permission to write their own NRA code for the salmon canning industry is not unreasonable Its inclusion in the general fresh fish industry code would be a mistake unless permission also were granted to formulate subsidiary code as an amend ment.
 The reasons advanced by the salmon packers are sound The packing of salmon and its marketing are different in nearly every way from the pro- cessing and sale of fresh fish The problems of operation and production and those of marketing of the two industries are wholly dssimiar
 However there is another and equally important for not including the Alaska salmon packers in the general code. In the drafting Of any cooe an essential part of the procedure is participation by the labor that affected It is out of the ques- ton for Alaska labor to be adequately represented in the hearings in the National capital or course, Delegate Dmond will look after its interests as far as any not directly connected with it could do But there are many things he or any other man Alaska might send to Washington Delegate, does not know about labor conditions prevailing in the canneres of the Territory. Without that intimate knowledge code formed there containing section applying to the Alaska salmon packing business IS almost certain to fall short of giving that labor fair deal Nor is that a reason for criticisng any one Labor itself must speak for itself, and in all of the codes so far formulated and approved by President Roosevelt it has done
 In the process of formulating code for the Territorial packing industry the local labor ac- customed to employment therein is entitled to be heard all questions of wages hours of labor and any other provisions affecting it. board to formu- late codes for Alaskan industries just recently appointed by Gen. Johnson. The machinery is thus provided to give Alaskan labor and business inter ests the opportunity to be represented at hearings on proposed codes. Certainly when industry of such vital importance to the Territory as is salmon canning sets down to write code and asks for it's approval, all elements are entitled to have their say upon it's provisions.

Seattle TimeS.)

Seattle Times)
 Tn the makeup of newspaper the accidental or unntentional juxtaposton of news items at times is strkingly suggestive In recent issue of The Times appeared Associated Press dispatch from Washington, D. C.. telling of the presence in that city of Gov. John Troy of Alaska and his efforts to get more Federal aid for Territorial road work mainly a means of unemployment relief.
 Discussing this phase of Alaskas needs, Governor Troy said the relief situation had been made more acute by the low market price of fish and the inn povershed condition of those who rely upon the fisheries for their livelihood. In the matter of employment Alaska is dependent upon fish than upon any other of it's resources. The size of the catch and the price it brings in the market spell for many Alaskans the difference between pros perty and diversity. Just the situation stated mildly, is mot good
 In the very next column to this Washington dispatch appeared one from Moscow, wherein Alex ander Antinovitch Troyanovsky first Soviet Am bassador to the United States, talked cheerfully of the benefit to from the new diplomatic arrangement. We may pass by the implication of a possible relationship between Troy and Troyanovsky, and come to the point, which will be found in this statement of the Ambassador:
 Naturally, the question of trade is one
 of the most important before us, and hope
 economic contact with America now will be much larger than ever before. It just happens that Alaska is nearer to Russia than any other part of the American continent. 1t also happens that of Russia's major ex- portable resources of the most important items in the prospective program of economic contact, lis fish.

.2n YEARS AGO
 From The Empire

Advices were received that B. l., Thane, General Manager of the Alaska -Gastineau Mining Com pany and Mrs Thane, would leave Seattle on the Humboldt the fol- lowing day to return to Juneau
 Added to the organizations of Juneau was the recently formed "50-1 34" club, made up of sev- saral young bachelors who were trying the experiment of cooper ation to reduce living expenses. It was located at 123 West Seventh Stre,t.
 John R. Willis, Collector of Customs for Alaska, had associat- ed himself with the B. M. Beh- rends mercantile and banking es tabliShments and planned to en- tsr his new field of enSeavor the following month. MT. Willis en- tered the organization as stock holder as well as an officer
 Deputy Collector of Customs, E. R. Stivers, who had been re- lieving Deputy Collector M s. Dobbs at Ketchikan, since his re- turn from his summers work at St. Michael, had joined the local office force.
 Cash Cole had purchased Fred Stevenson's automobile to be used in general cab service around the town
 It was decided by Claude E. Erickson and E. R. Jaeger, owners of the Hotel Cain, to have a new large addition built onto their new hotel early in the spring. MT. Erickson and his family were to leave for the States to order ma terials necessary sso that the work could be started as soon as pos sible
 Judge and Mrs. R. w. Jennings were to leave for the South on the steamer Spokane to spend the holidays with their daughter Cor della, who was attending school in Seattle. Judge Jennings had planned to return north early in January.

NOT PATRIOTISM-LE
 LACKING.

Louis F Paul. in a communication to the Wrangel Sentinel indicates that The Empire in commenting editorially the Alaska Native Broth erhoods famous secession fish resolution had accused that organization of lack of patriotism. Of course it did nothing of the kind It specifically declared it's belief that the resolution did not rep mt the views of the average Indian of Southeast Alf ska or of majority of them. We will make it str nger and say believe the patriotism of the local Indian is strong that of any other racial seg nent of the American population. We did and still do question the wisdom of the leadership which dec ded that it was necessary for the A. N B. to pass the resolution order to prevent the dele gates present from adopting another, in the words of MT. Paul ordering and directing every member of the Alaska Native Brotherhood to take steps to destroy all fish traps beginning in the summer of 1884"
 If such resolution were presented on the floor of the recent Juneau convention and have no reason to doubt the correctness of MT Paus declara- tion that it was, the time for diplomacy ended. It the duty of the presiding officer to have at declared such document out of order and to have refused to entertain any discussion vote on it.
 To state the matter badly the resolution not merely melted but commanded those subject to the Jurisdiction of the Grand Camp to commit crime against the laws of the United States. Had it been passed, it would have laid the Grand Officers and the delegates to the convention, voting for it. liable to prosecution under the Territorial syndicalism statute and under Federal laws.
 The Alaska Native Brotherhood has always prided itself and rightfuly so, being a law abiding and law-supporting organization It is self declared for law and order Yet MT. Paul declares that it was necessary to propose to Southeast Alaska to Canada in order to. prevent the annual meeting of the Grand Camp from com manding it's entire membership to launch wide spread and organized campaign of terrorism and sabotage. Real leadership would have made short work of such outrageous proposal It was the lack of that which The Empire criticised rather than the patriotism of the membership of the A. N. B.

BANK ACT AIMED
! At CREDIT CONTROL
More Loans for Business and
Less for Speculation Goal
of New Law.
Editors note: This is another
OF a series of Associated Press
stories explaining the fae1D legisla-

A main objective of the GlassStea-
gall bank reform law is to make more
bank credit available for business loans
at home and less for speculation.
1t empowers the Federal Reserve
Board to control the uses to which
banks put credit they derive from mem
bership in the Reserve system. Senator
Glass says this will help prevent stock
market booms and crashes like that OF
1929; he contends too much bank credit
went to Wall Street to build up that
boom.
The Federal Reserve System was Gre
ated in 1913 to help banks combine
their strength to supply business with
the capital 1t needed.
The banks that joined as members
had the right to discount commercial
paper with the Federal Reserve bank
Of their district. That meant that after
lending most of the money in their
vaults to merchants, contractors, etc,
so these could pay their bills without
waiting to collect from customers, banks
could get more cash by selling the notes
of these merchants and contractors to
the Reserve bank. The new cash was
generally supposed to go into the COM
munity for normal operation aid

Instead, in boom times, many bankers
were said by advocates of the law to

Referring to Mai. Arthur's statement

and that in event of serious trouble
the county would be faced with a water

Heved any trouble Of this kind could
be corrected within "a hours and that
there would be a sufficient reserve sup
ply in the county's reservoir and water
tank to furnish water to the entire
county for this period.
Braden stated, however, that a con-
ference with Maj. Arthur will be ar
ranged Immediately in an effort to
determine whether there has been any
change in the situation.
Far from being reassured, number
of citizens were planning today to ap-
peal for the employment by the county
board of a consulting engineer fully
capable Of determining whether the
county is In danger Of having its water
supply cut off and If so what should
be done about it.

WATER SHORTAGE
! WARNING IS SHOCK
Arlington Board Chairman
Cites $35, 600 Construction
Work Last Year.
BY q STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE. Va,
July "a warning by Maj. j. D.
Arthur, jr.. district engineer, that
Arlington County is in danger Of a
serious water shortage unless a new
24-inch main is constructed across the
Potomac river at Chain Bridge was re-
ceived last night by Chairman Harry
A. Fellows Of the County Board with q
sense of SHOCK" he declared today
Fellows said that he had not been ad-
vised of the receipt Of the letter in the
county managers Office and would be
unable to say what will be done until
he has had a conference with County
Manager Roy S. Braden.
Braden stated that the letter which
was written on June q, had been turned
over to him by former County Directing
Engineer C. L. Kinnier, who still is an
employe Of the county, but that he did
not agree with Maj. Arthur that the
situation is serious.
It was upon the advice Of engineers
from the War Department that the
county constructed a new main down
Military road last year at a cost of
S35, 900, Braden said, and county au-
thorities were informed by Army off,
GERS at that time that the new main
would double the capacity of the water
system without increasing the friction
in the two 8-inch mains across Chain
Bridge.
These officers, Braden declared, said
that it was only a question Of time
until the present span is replaced and
they were Of the opinion that pro-

enough cash to carry the big trans
actions Of spectators, and they sent
much Of the money to New York.
The local grocer could not borrow.
and to keep up with his bills had to buy
from hand to mouth.
The contractor, 1t was argued, had
to cut wages and stall on bills to keep
from going broke. Business suffered.
So, under the new law, the Reserve
Board in Washington will watch what
member banks do with their credit. II
1t is not being used rightly the board
may suspend the offending banks from
further use Of reserve discount facili-
ties.
Also by vote Of six members the board
may fix the proportion Of loans on
stocks and bonds held by the banks OF
each reserve district. 1t may order all
member banks not to increase such
loans for any period up to a year.
It may, II oficers Of a bank persist
