YOUNG sT0WAWAYs TAKEN
 FROM BOAT AT KETCHIKAN

Three youths aboard the Alaska this week were received on the dock at Ketehikan by a deputy from the US. marshals office who was the reception committee for the stowaways. They were brought before the US. commissioner for a hearing and were ordered returned to the port from which they came according to the Ketchikan Chron- icle.
 Al Blake and L. B. Nelson, both of Phoenix, Arizona. entered a plea of leniency They had invested their entire financial resources, s90. in food before leaving Seattle and had sent it on ahead to Juneau where they wanted to winter and be on hand for work. The commissioner allowed them to wire their families, who sent the necessary funds and the boys were aboard the Norco this afternoon.
 Their companion, Herbert Kant, was returned to Seattle on the Yu- kon as a work guest of the Steam ship company. s... .I
 Asked why they chose to come to Alaska in search of work, Blake, speaking for himself and his partner, explained that he was cer tain that the Territory offered more for a willing young man than any other place Then too, there was something about Alaska itself that appealed.
 Worked in Cannery
 He, the son of a Phoenix busi nessman, was in the Territory last year. employed in a cannery. After the canning season was completed he determined to come back to stay permanently. He returned to Seat tie, joined his friend and with their pooled resources converted into edi- bles, started back here by what seemed the most economical method available.
 "We would have gotten by with it." he explained, eff it wasn't for two other fellows on the ship. They were steerage passengers and when they saw that we had made it without much trouble they decided to go on to Seward by the same me thod. They had passages as far as Ketehikan.

WASHINGTON, January 21.-Un-
able to ignore the growing protests
from small businessmen that the N
Il. A. codes are concentrating mono
poly control of industry by driving
out the smaller producers, Roosevelt
today issued statement designed to
head of further protest against the
monopoly character of the codes.
He declared that small business
men who feel that the larger produc-
ers are uniting under the codes to form
monopolieS, may have recourse to
the Federal Trade Commission of the
Department of Justice. This is both
an admission of the classification
character of the N. r. A. and an at
tempt to defeat every further move
to weaken this character.
1t is already recognized that these
bodies will be unable to act either

port, the entire objective Of which
was to protect the investments Of

The railroads have already received
close to one billion dollars from the
government for such purposes. In
addition, Eastman urged the speeding
up Of stock control
