The Wrangell sentinel., 1933-06-09

The Wrangell Chamber of Com
merce went on record this week
at the regular Wednesday luncheon
meeting in the Wrangell Hotel din
ing room, as being opposed to the
contemplated imposition by the Sec
rotary of the Interior of fees on
motor vehicles using the Richardson
Highway for commercial purposes.
Alien Fishermen
The secretary reported that he
had written to Attorney-General
Truitt, as instructed by the Cham
Der. adm asked for his opinion as to
the legality of the recently enacted
fishing regulation by the Alaska
Legislature which denied issuance OF
license to alien fishermen. Mr.
Truths reply follows:
4 have your letter of May 27th
and the request of the Wrangell
Chamber of Commerce for an opini-
on of this office on the legality of
the citizenship feature of Section
One Chapter 80, 1888 Session Laws
of Alaska; and in reply l will say
without going into any long discus
sion of legal authorities on the sub
ject that l have advised the Treas
urer and the individuals you refer
to will be given licenses as they
have been given them in other
years.
As to the legal question involved
in the Statute. Suffice it to say that
whenever there is ground for a we'll
founded doubt as to the legality
of a statute, the same is always
construed in favor of the tax payer
and against the collection of the
tax
Il fully appreciate the impor
lance of the statute in question and
something of the intentions and
purposes of the Legislature in en-
acting it. l also know something
of the condition of the peoples you
refer to. know that they have been
for more than thirty years wards
and semi-wards of the United States
government; and do not believe the
Statute in question should be con-
strued so as to discriminate against
such wards. 1t appears to be i'm
possible to enact law that will
meet the approval of everybody or
one that will not work a hardship
on some; the intention of the sta
tute in question is commendable
and will perhaps have a tendency
to encourage respect for citizen

COAL STRIKE UNSETTLED IN
 PENNSYLVANIA
Operators Are Unable to Make Headway on
 Open Shop, Wages

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Coal operators are still unable to find settlement of their major diff ferences over the flair practice" agreement in the industry.
 All producers are said to be de- termined to keep the United Mine Workers Union out and said that if the open shop clause is re- moved from the code it will be done by the Government.
 The mine operators flatly re- fused the request of the National Recovery Board to follow the steel industry and remove the open shop clause themselves.
 The second major difference is the minimum wages and this is further from settlement than for some time. The union proposes a $5 basic daily wage.

Politics Bubbling as Young Rival Hits Mayors
 Four Year Plan"
By ALVIN sTEINKOFF

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. H. When a lad named Tortney Stark was years old, a hard-hitting Socialist named Daniel Webster Hoan became Mayor of Milwaukee
 That was IS years ago.
 Today this same Fortney Stark now an energetic young man oi 25. proposes to upset Hoans poli- tical apple-cart and the popular notion that Malwaukee must have Socialist Mayor.
 He has announced himself a candidate for Mayor Hoan's post and through an organization which calls itself the Recall Council has begun a movement to oust the veteran executive.
 Pushes Recall Move
 Stark must obtain 43,0OO sig natures for his recall petitions to reach the first step in his am bition. While the movement has been prodded vigorously, it still is far from that goal.
 Political observers hesitate to predict the result of young Stark s campaign, for they say much has happened in the IS months since Mayor Hoan piled up the thump- ing majority which kept him in the city hall.

 Regarded Cruz of Enterprise
By BYRON PRCE Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington


 It is next to impossible to real ize how completely the Washing ton picture is dominated these days by the National Recovery admins tration.
 Events of highest importance are taking place in other fields. The government is launched on null tiplicity of separate major opera tions, ranging from a cautious open market" campaign of curren- cy expansion to the greatest pub lie works program in history Yet so greatly is the limelight concen- trated that little is heard of any, thing but the N. R. A.
 In every class of officialdom this gigantic experiment is the talk of the town. Already it has attained the stature of an institution. Like the American flivver, it even has developed it's own lore of humor- ous stories playing on the diff culties of code making.
 General Johnson, the admins trator, is the magnet of constant attention. His press conference at tracts the news writers as does no other part of the passing show at Washington. And they find the un- .dertaking so mountainous in it's proportions, so amazing in it's ramifications, that with one accord they rue the day when they used up all of their superlatives on the lesser enterprises of the earlier Roosevelt era.

Topping Them All
 Probably no living man pretends to comprehend all that may be in- volved in this great undertaking It rises like the highest peak in the range, but the best you can do is to get distant views of the sum- init.
 The men who originated the scheme and the men now admin istering it would be the last to claim that they can yet see how the recovery act is to be applied in all it's details. One by one they are picking away at the trouble some features Of the p1an. with an evident confidence 1t can be work ed out somehow.
 Their difficulties emerge direct ly from the fact that everything depends on sweeping change in economic relationships. Heretofore. for instance, no one ever both- cred because industries overlapped here and there in certain of their functions. Under the old system that didn't matter.
 It matters a great deal under the new. The line of demarca- tion must be drawn pretty clearly because each industry is to have its own code. The ship-building industry goes into one pigeon hole, for instance, and the struc- tural steel industry into another. But what is to be done about the large section of the ship-building (Continued on Page Three)
