STRIKE IS OVER.

Yesterday the Seattle union longshoremen after series of conferences, agreed to the very sette- ment that has been advocated by Gov. Troy and others who have been urging restoration Of snlp- ping to Alaska. That is, recognizing the fact that this Territory has only the one of transpor- tation-by water-and one source of suppy-througn Puget sound-and that complete cessation of that traffic inevitably means untold suffering to indi- viduals through loss of employment and lack Of even the essentials of life well as a breakdown of the Territorial Government in all of its more important functions, the unions have agreed to separate Alaska from the rest Of the Pacific Coast
 To everyone who familiar with the situation here this solution was obvious from the very outset The great difficulty has been in making this plain to the union workers who, from the first, evidenced every desire to see that Alaskans did not suffer from lack of foodstuffs medicine and other neces- sities of life The only failure was that they did not in the beginning recognize that the long run effects would be disastrous than present shortage of food, etc. It never immediate famine that menaced Alaskans It was the break down of government through lack of funds, the lack of food and fuel and clothing next winter through lack of funds that must be collected by the Territory in revenue and by individuals in wages from indus tries during the short working season that is avail able in these northern attitudes And those who had that knowledge served the Territory well in imparting it convircingly to the strikers.
 To them both industry and labor, in fact all Alaskans debt of gratitude for their persistent campaign of education which directed at Fed eral, State and local authorities well as toward the strikers operators and mediators. The cost of the shipping stike to Alaska has been heavy, falling very largely upon salmon trollers and halbut fish, ermen, both of whom labor diligently at arduous tasks to sufficient to keep them and their families through the year With their fresh markets cut off, they have been forced to remain idle in the instance and to accept lower prices for their fares in the other, causing the loss of many thou sands of dollars. Only exceptional prices and unusually heavy catches during the remainder of the will make it possible for them to recour their losses.
 The Seattle strikers have exhibited commend able attitude in releasing the Alaska shipping. II was the thing to do but more often than not ir the heat of the strike engendered by longdrawn ou labor troubles the reasonable thing is lost sight of and unreason prevails Throughout Alaska the relie over the outcome must be profound

uARPER'S reply was as bland as II any Orientals evasion. We're not quite ready for that, MT. Du- fresne. The dead man has not yet been identified, for one thing. There are some points to be cleared up"
 The detective left it thus vaguely, points to be cleared up." Lafferty, lurking in the background, grinned to himself at the phrase.
 Dufresne rose, frowning, and crossed to the hearth. He dropped his cigarette among the ashes. Tt seems pretty clearcut case to me-, he grumbled, then added, with a sudden ferocity that was startling, That fellow, whoever he is, got just what he deserved. Why should any fuss be made over 1t? If his body were thrown into the bay and left to float out to sea with the rest of the harbor scum, it would be burial enough"
 Harper listened to this bitter out pouring with lifted brows. Per

to a successful conclusion, it is fitting that the be- ginning of construction should be made the occasion of official notice by the Chamber of Commerce of Douglas this evening.
 The material benefits of the structure that links Douglas Island to the mainland with bands of con- crete and steel too obvious to call for detailed comment. It will promote public interests in both Douglas and Juneau. It will make both communities more livable It will both mutually without disadvantage to either It should to increase business and population in both It will stimulate industry and commerce in each It will serve to open up Douglas Island as nothing else could do, and in few years bring about settlement of favorable acreages along the Island shore of Cas- tineau Channel similar to that which has already taken place north of Juneau the mainland shore.
 Not the least of the benefits to will be the drawing together of the communities in closer business and social relationship That is as it should be. The interests of the two towns are common. They have antagonstic aims or ends to serve. In a few years the two should become in fact if not in single community working in unison for the advancement of Gastineau Channel and institutions and for the good of the entire Territory.

The Budget for 1934-35.
(NeW York Times.)

In his message to Congress asking supple menary appropriation for relief purposes, President Roosevelt made one statement of great interest in
 it's bearing on the budget for l934-35. Noting that expenditures for the current fiscal year (which ends June 30) are running far below his January esti- Iates the President stated that 'the appropriations are still in force and the amounts actually to be |expended during the following fiscal year will, therefore be increased and above my estimates for that fiscal year.
 Viewed in this light the figures submitted to Congress last January must be substantially revised The President then forecast enormous deficit of $7000000000 for the fiscal year which ends June 30 but planned for 1934-35 a budget brought into balance except for estimated $2,000000000 needed for direct relief and the winding up of the recovery program. It is now evident that expenditures for the current year will fall at least $3000000000 short of the Presidents high figure. But MT. Roosevelt does not regard this as salvage. He speaks of it rather as deferred expenditure which will be made after July l. In other words in place of deficits of 100000 and $2O00O00OO0 for the years 1883 34 and 193435 respectively he suggests deficits of $4 000000000 and $5,00000O000 The total cost of the New Deal, in terms of the accompanying increase in the national debt, is still estimated at $9,- lO00 900 O00
 How close to the mark this estimate will come depends chiefly upon the amount of deferred pendtures actually made in the fiscal year. No doubt some of the appropriations originally planned for the current year will be carried over auto matically This is particularly true in the of the public works program, which has moved mulch more slowly than was anticipated. But there are
 other expenditures forecast by the President in
 January which may not be required in the amount
 originally foreseen. Here the record of the Re-
 construction Finance Corporation offers striking case in point. MT Roosevelt estimated that it would need $3970000000 during the current fiscal year.
 With only few weeks of that year remaining it
 has actually spent less than $1,500,000,O00. The
 experience of this sort be pinned more than for Mir

 No indeed"
 Harper noticed Miss Burkett's weary eyes and tired look. q guess you could do with some sleep your. self," he said, kindly. You've been on the job nearly twelve hours, haven't you?"
 "The relief nurse will be here at 1oon," Miss Burkett answered short. ly and turned back into the room, closing the door quietly but firmly.
 They certainly have cordial and unanimous dislike for us in this house, unused Harper, eyeing the closed door. I suppose the great ulrich has been telling her what cos. sacks we are. We'll, there is one thing certain at least-Mrs. Du- fresne didn't run off with her hus. bands revolver. But this thought brought up it's natural corollary- had Pierre Dufresne acted thus to screen his wife?
 Andrews approached him as he reached the foot of the stairs. You are wanted in the breakfast-room sir. The gentlemen have arrived" The detective thought there was an undertone of malicious pleasure in the buffers announcement. but he said nothing.
 Harper entered the breakfast room to find not only the redoubt- able James J. Connors. Director of Police, but also Captain Macklin, of the Homicide Bureau, the Sergeant's immediate superior. Pierre Dufresne was there also and the three men were talking together in a very friendly manner.
 The detective saluted sharply and the salute was returned.

 T was surprised" Harper ad- mitted. His best move would have been to acknowledge ownership of the gun and then act surprised when it is found to be missing"
 Lafferty yawned. "I'd like little more action. This house is as quiet as a museum. I'd like to catch that Andrews fellow listening at key hole or have good run-in with Don- aghy.

haps," he said quietly. "We are not concerned with him alone. One of our own men lost his life through this business. That certainly gives us direct and personal stake"
 I've sent for Director Connors." Dufresne announced, abruptly. He promised to come up here some time this morning and I shall cer- tainly place my views before him. It's too much. After all, the thing is done, the evidence is very plain"
 "Mr. Dufresne, this is a murder case and 1 warn you that it is not possible to have the necessary in- vestigations turned on and off like a water spigot, no matter how much inconvenience may be involved"
 Now, now, Harper, don't nourish any antagonistic feelings. I mean no personal disparagement, but what more is there to investigate ?"

If he leaves a family in need, I'll be glad to do what I can for them."

But Louisiana would be only a

he is Of presidential caliber and
that a call will come from the aver

He has demonstrated his in
