Wade, administrator for the Territory, arrived in Juneau last evening on the Steamship Vic- toria from Ketchikan, where he spent the past week in hearings of labor and industrial representatives preliminary to setting the machin- cry of the administration in mo- ton.
 Unless they are specifically ex- empted, industry and commerce in Alaska are governed by the NRA," said MT. Wade this morning as he was preparing his office head quarters in Room 222 of the Fed eral building He is not yet ready to announce details of his organi- zation which is authorized under the authority of the administration.
 MT. Wade was accompanied to Juneau by His wife, the former Miss Madge Case of Juneau. They are registered at the Gastineau hotel and will probably remain there until permanent quarters are found here for their home.
 Starting In Territories
 Frankly" he said, little or no attention has been given to the NRA Set-up in any of the territor- ies until this time. The work in the States has taken the entire time of the administration. but now that it has been established there and is well under way we are looking to Alaska. Hawaii and Puerto Rico"
 It is because of this, he contin- ued, that any infractions against the MIRA as found to exist or that have existed will be overlook

$320,670 Netted by Can nery Corporation as De-

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-The Alaska Packers Association yester- day reported net profits of S320,670 in 1883, scoring an impressive re- covery from the previous year, when the loss was $1 ,391 ,000
 They also reported that the sale of the carryover pack from 1882 netted more than the cost, result ing in the restoration of $858,000 to the surplus account that had been set aside against what appeared a probable loss on the salmon pack.
 The total pack for 1893 was 812,- 659 cases, compared with 950,249 during the preceding year.
 President William Timson said the markets for canned salmon improved during the early summer, nearly exhausting the stocks.

Crowd Bushes Into Crowd ed Lobby of Hotel and
 Make Kidnaping

BRAWLEY, Cal, Jan. A. Two wholesale abductiOns and strained relations between the vegetable field strikers and farmers of the rich Im- perial Valley have stirred this section which is seething with unrest.
 Communists have been run cut of the town and told not to return.
 The strike has been in pro- gress for several days and the climax came when a group of unidentified men stall1ed into a crowded hotel lobby and made off with Al. Wirin, representative of the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union. He had just addressed Mexican workers.
 Grover Johnson, San Bern- ardino lawyer, and his wife, and David Sokol, of Los An geles, also a barrister, shortly afterwards, were also taken by the band.
 The four, according to all re- ports have been released in scat tered nearby towns after one of the abducted men had apparently been beaten.

DIMOND PILE ADS
 ALASKA FEDERAL MEN UNDERPA|
Delegate Discusses Living Costs and Salaries Tn
 Northern Territory

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 13- Special Correspondence)- Soor after debate commenced yesterday on the Independent Offices Appro- priation Bill, Delegate Dimond ad- dressed the House on the subject of relation between living costs and salaries of Federal Employees in Alaska.
 Because of the rule adopted the previous day, prohibiting the sub mission of any amendment unless it has committee approval, the Delegate is not confident that he will be able to induce Congress to take favorable action on his request that workers for the U. s. govern ment resident in the Territory be exempt from any pay reductions. But at least he has shown the membership of the House that con- ditions in Alaska with respect to living costs are not analogous with those in continental United States, and that is a seed that may bear fruit later, and there is still an opportunity to secure the desired amendment to the bill in the Sem ate. Today's issue of the Congress sional Record carries tables show ing the comparative cost of neces- sites of life in the States and in Alaska.
 Under ordinary circumstances the committee handling the bill might be disposed to correct these obvious Inequalities, but now it is committed to driving ahead wtth the least possible loss of speed on the administration program and il is not likely to open the door foi one amendment for fear that a

Devaluation Talk in Senate Brings Out Attitude

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24- While the Senate Independents sought tc strengthen the inflationary provis- ions of the money bill, Senator Garter Glass denounced the de- valuation of the dollar as an in- valid and indecent process.
 Administration leaders have &C., cepted amendments to limit tc three years the life of the stabili- zation fund and the time within which the President might devalue the gold content of the dollar
 It is estimated that expansion o1 the new money of about five bil- lion would result from the surplus of gold from devaluation.
 Senator Boraf said the Inde- pendents are considering whether to provide for mandatory issue of currency upon that surplus.
