 ON M EASURE
Senate Agrees to Two Minor Amendments
 Made by House
BILL IMMEDIATELY
 SENT, WHITE HOUSE
Liquor Board Ready to Act When President
 Signs Measure


 Repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law and the National Prohibition Act as it affects Alaska, and also Hawaii, was virtually an achieved f act this afternoon. It lacked only the S ig n a ture of President Roosevelt to finish the trans formation of the Alaska des- ert into a land where liquor may be manufactured, sold and possessed legally under provisions established by the Alaska Legislature.
 The Senate today complet- ed it's part in the transforma- tion when it agreed to the two minor amendments made by the House to the Tydings bill that passed the Senate originally several weeks ago. The measure was introduced in the Senate by Senator Tyd- ings, Chairman of the Con- mittee on Territories at the request of Delegate Dimond who, at the same time, intro duced a companion measure in the lower House.
 Signature Expected Soon
 The President is expected to sign the measure without delay. It is believed that the law will be in force and effect within "A hours.
 As soon as it is, the Board of Liquor Control, headed by Gov. John w. Troy, will come into exist ence. Under the law creating it. it is authorized to establish sys- tenn of manufacture and sale, pre- scribing rules and regulations, fix ing license fees and an excise tax which shall remain in force until the Legislature at it's next, or some future session. makes other regula- tions.
 The Boards membership, which in addition to the Governor in- cludes Auditor Frank A. Boyle, Treasurer w. G. Smith, Attorney General James s. Truitt, and High way Engineer William A. Hesse, has held several informal discussions. The indications are that it will be ready to act as soon as the measure is approved, and that no delay will be encountered because of 1t.
 No Sale Without It
 Under the terms of the repeal measure. as introduced in both houses of Congress, intoxicating liquors cannot be mapufactured and sold in Alaska until the Board does prescribe regulations and re- strictions. The repealer specifically provides that notwithstanding the repeal of the said Acts no spir- ituous or intoxicating liquors shall be manufactured or sold in the Territory of Alaska, except under such regulations and restrictions as the Territorial Legislature shall prescribe" or as the Board set up by it may prescribe.
 The Board recognizes its re- sponsibility in this matter It is certain to act as soon as it's acts will be legal and valid.

RECOVERY
Program is Held of Real
Benefit to Women

Newark, N. j. (ILNS)-The re-
covery program, nationwide in scope,
has brought real benefits to women,
through improving standards for
their employment and stressing their
needs, Miss Mary Anderson, director
of the Women's Bureau, u. S. De-
partment of Labor, said in addressing
the Democratic Womens Luncheon
Club of New Jersey here.
Up to the present, national legisla-
tion aiming at recovery has struck a
blow at sweatshops, has shortened
hours and raised wages for thousands
of women, has eliminated some of the
evils of industrial home work, has
given jobs to many unemployed wom-
en-, and has stimulated better labor
laws in some states, Miss Anderson
pointed out.
She also lauded the program for
social legislation to bring economic
security for the millions of women
and men who have imperative need
of safeguards against the hazards of
unemployment, sickness and old age.
Such program is essential to lay
Ii und foundation for workers in the
stated. She
thought that it would prove an even
greater boon to women than men
since in the past women have been
the more exploited and lower-paid
group, and thus less able to build up
reserves against disastrous circum-
stances over which they have no con-
troll.

Washington.-The National Labor
Relations Board has ordered elections
to be held by employees of the Good
rich and Firestone Rubber Manufac-
turing plants, in Akron, Ohio.
When announcement of this deci-
sion was made, President Green, of
the American Federation of Labor,
issued the following statement:
"The American Federation of Labor
is pleased with the decision of the
National Labor Relations Board in
ordering elections to be held by the
employees of the Goodrich and Fire
stone Rubber Manufacturing plants
at Akron, Ohio. The application for
these elections was submitted by the
local American Federation of Labor
unions established at these rubber
manufacturing plants, several weeks
ago. The officers and members of
these unions based their application
for said elections upon the act of con-
gress which provided for the creation
of National Labor Relations Board.
'The officers and members of the
American Federation of Labor well
come the opportunity to demonstrate
through on election held under the
supervision and auspices of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, that
the majority of the employees of the
Goodrich and Firestone Rubber Manu-
featuring Companies favor an Amer

He declared that the decision was
clear, that by collective bargaining
was meant dealing with the spokes-
men for the majority. He added that
this did not exclude the minority from
petitioning for general objects other
than wages, hours and working condi-
tions, but that the minority could not
be recognized for purposes of collect
tive bargaining.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent William Green, of the American
Federation of Labor, has challenged
business and industrial leaders to
pledge compliance with labor provi-
sions of the recovery act in their new
program of cooperation with the gov
ernment in recovery efforts.
Until this is done, Green said, labor
cannot be blamed eff it is skeptical
as to the real degree of cooperation"
which business interests will give to
the New Deal.
Declaring that the offer of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States to cooperate with the govern
ment to hasten national recovery rep
resents an "about face" on the part
of the organization, as it has hereto
fore assumed critical attitude ap-
proximating opposition to the gov
ernment's national recovery policy"
Green went on to say:
"The primary purpose of the ma
tional recovery act was to develop
a co-partnership relationship between
the government, industry and labor.
In every step taken in the further
ance of the national recovery pro-
gram, labor has co-operated to the
fullest extent and to the greatest de-
gree. Unfortunately, business inter-
ests, as represented by the United
States Chamber of Commerce and the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, have refused to recognize the
partnership of labor in the national
recovery program.
Have Fought Section IA
"fhese interests have refused to
agree to accord labor representation
upon code authorities; have opposed
he application of Section IA of the
industrial recovery act, which pro-
vides for collective bargaining and
which is embodied in every industrial
code of fair practice. Business inter
ests, as represented by the United
States Chamber of Commerce, have
discharged and Disseminated against
thousands of workers because they
exercise their right under Section
IA to join labor union.
In addition the National Associa-
tion Of Manufacturers publicly de-
clared it's refusal to abide by the de-
cisions of the National Labor Rela-
tio.s Board and called upon all mem
bers cf the association to refuse to
comply with the decisions of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board provid-
ing for majority representation. The
steel manufacturers have threatened
to institute court proceedings in an
effort to prevent the application of the
