PROFESSIONAL GAP FOUND IN
 DUCE'S SCHEME
Formation of Syndicate ol Clients in New State
 Plan Hits Snag

ROME, Feb. 20.--The difficulties of either forming or foreseeing any such thing as syndicates of clients to act under Mussolinis newly oy- erhauled cooperative state is pre- occupying some of Italy's outstand- ing professional men afd artists.
 These men have been formNd in a syndicate along with all other blackshirt representatives of the nations economic life Like all oth- CTS, this syndicate is granted the right to suggest legislation govern ing it's own problems and necessi- ties.
 Senator Voices Woes
 All this suggested legislation will be passed on by the council of cor porations, with Il Duce as final judge.
 The syndicate of professionals and artists has about 100000 mem bers. Senator Cogliolo described their plight in regard to a public which has yet to show any syndi- sated purchasing trend, as "un- happy"
 Sad are their actual conditions he mourned in the Senate. While the labor syndicates have their corresponding employer syndicates to confront with their problems, the professionals only have their cli- ents-persons not easily unionized. v
 However, Senator Cogliolo de- scribed the professional syndicate as good thing.
 He said it has done something to extend the activities of many pro- fessional men who could not get q foothold previously.
 Also, he found that party disci- pline is making it increasingly dif- ficult for one artist or doctor or lawyer to monopolize all the best client markets to the disadvantage Of his colleagues.

DIMOND PLEADS
 FOR AIR M ALL.
 LINES IN NORTH
Delegate Declares Alaska Will Be Set Back to
 Days Before Airplanes
GIVES COMP PARATIVE
 FIGURES ON SERVICE
Advocates Leaving Feeder Lines in Interior Only
 to Dog Teams

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Dele- gate Anthony J. Dimond last night described Alaska as stripped of progress for the past ten years as he carried the fight for more mail funds for the Territory to the House Post Office Committee.
 He said the Alaska air mail never had been subsidized, but that the air service companies in the North had bid for mail routes in direct competition with dog teams.
 When bids were opened for con- tracts recently the air service bids for the mail routes were approxi- mately s37,00O above the figures submitted by the low dog team bidder.
 He said, If additional funds are not provided mail delivery in Al aska will be set back to the days before the. airplanes cut traveling time in the Territory For example, the mail is carried from Fairbanks to Nome in from six hours to two days. By dog team the mail is en- route from twenty-one to thirty days" He said the situation was the same between Fairbanks and Bethel.
 He urged the committee to pro- vide service on the main routes in the Territory by airplane, leaving the small feeder lines to the dog teams.

 BY HEAVY SNOW
Price Changes Narrow and Traders Cautious
 Pound Sterling Loses

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The stock market opened one hour late today on account of the heavy snow which impeded traffic and pre- vented members from reaching the exchange on time.
 Price changes were narrow ana traders were cautious and only a few aircrafts, rails and specialties found sizeable followers. The close was steady and total sales for the day were 100000 shares. Bonds improved in spots.
 No Stirring News
 There was little in the news to stir the speculative pulse Wheat was off more than a cent a bushel and cotton slipped Silver was re- actionary and other commodities listless.
 Sterling lost about cents in terms of the dollar as the British equalization fund was reported put to use in bidding for gold. The franc was moderately firm.

this bill but finally compromised bill reducing the tax
to cents gallon This compromise bill passed by
both Houses of the Legislature but at the last minute
administration Governor Richie tricked the
waermen by having amendment made to this comprO-
mise bill carrying two cents gallon tax gasoline used
by pleasure boats. After this trick bill passed Cover
Richie vetoed the whole which threw the
den of the four cents gallon tax gasoline back the
waermen of the State The depression two
