At a meeting of the retail grocery and food dealers held in the Council Chambers of the City Hall last evening, at which thirty five men and women engaged in that business were present, it was Unanimously decided to adopt an NRA code providing that stores dealing in groceries and food re- main open for ten hours each day from 8 o'clock in the morning until 6 pm. six days a week with an additional two or three hours on the 10th of each month.

 ORGANIZE TON {.
Committee Named to Co., operate with Association
 of District Miners

Following a preliminary organi- zation meeting of 200 Juneau dis trict miners Thursday night at which a committee on permanent organization was named, about 130 laboring men met last night with the object of organizing an asso- citation to cooperate with the min CTS. Both meetings were held in odd Fellows Hall.
 The miners named committee of fifteen members according to report, five from each shift to draft rules for an association to be presented at general meet ing to be called for forming a permanent one. One of the shift committees will meet tonight, it is said
 Many expressed their opinions last night about the formation of an association and a committee was elected to confer with the miners committee and to report back to the temporary organization, which will be called when the re- port is ready.
 No action was taken on a perma- nent organization last night except to take the signatures of those interested in the movement. About 100 signed.
 Jack Dalton was the spokesman who opened the meeting and was elected Temporary Chairman. A. J. Nelson was made Temporary Sec retary and J. H. Sawyer, Treas urer.
 The committee Of five to confer with the miners is composed of Dalton, Hugo Peterson. T. Hagerup, Abel Anderson and Jack Myers.
 The idea expressed by the lead CTS in the movement is 10 form an association. The concensus was that the formation Of separate workers organizations in Juneau would be ineffective and as none would be strong enough 10 carry any weight, a central association council here would be np-acti- cable.

 During the meeting the subject of the minimum wage clause of the retail dealers code was discussed and a committee of three to act with MT Turner and MT. Blomgren is to be appointed by the former. This committee will also draft the amendments for the code which will be presented to MT. Wade upon his arrival here at a meeting to be called by the chairman.

REPS. JENCKES,
RANDOLPH
FAVOR|T
Would Give Emergency Unit
Workers Protection From
Politicians Raids

Thousands of employees in the
manifold Government emergency
agencies, subject to the caprices
of politicians, found two cham.
pions on Capitol Hill today.
Legislation designed to blanket
these employees into Civil Service
ranks should be enacted at the
coming session of Congress, &C.
cording to Representatives Jen-
nings Randolph, D), of West
Virginia, and Virginia E. Jenckes,
(DO, of Indiana, both members
of the House Civil Service COM
mittee.
The representatives said they
believed such legislation should be
passed in order to give the Gov
ernment workers involved the
same security given fellow work
erS in the permanent branches of
service.
President Roosevelt yesterday
indicated he favors such a move.
According to the Civil Service
Commission there are $4,000 EN-.
ployeS in the emergency agencies
in Washington. The commission
in report this week recon-
mended these workers be placed
in the classified service, with non-
competitive examinations.
Since Attorney General Cum
mings has not yet given an
opinion, it is not known whether
President Roosevelt could, by Ex-
ecutive order, blanket these en-
ployes into the civil service. It
is believed in some quarters that
such a move would require Con.
gressional sanction, since the bulk
of the agencies involved were
created by Congress and not by
presidential order.

HAzEN ASSA|LS
D. c. INCOME
TAX PLAN
Capitals Citizens Already Are
0ver-Burdened With LeVieS,
He Declares

"If the Federal Government
would pay its share Of the cost
of District government as pro-
vided by law, there would be
no need for talk of additional
taxes"
That was the reply of Commis'
sioner Melvin C. Hazen today to
the move of Senator William H
King CD, of Utah, chairman OF
the Senate district Committee, to
impose an income tax on District
residents.
This move to add more taxes
to voteless Washington residents
is bitterly opposed by civic organ
izations and business men.
Far Below Grant
It comes at a time when the
District is asking an increase II
the Federal appropriation-an in
crease which, even if granted,
would give the local government
a sum far below that granted 1t
by law from the Federal Govern
ment.
Commenting on the situation,
Commissioner Hazen said:
"Tf Congress were to con-
tribute the 40 per cent obligated
by law, the District would have
enough money to meet all ex-
penseS and make needed I'M
provements to the school sys-
tenn, the parks and Fairgrounds.
"At the present time the
Commissioners have instructed
the Assessor to go over the rolls
carefully and study the tax sit
uatiOn. The Public Utilities
Commission has also been in
structed to study the taxes paid
by utilities.
"After these reports have
been made and studied, we shall
confer on the subject of taxes
with Members of Congress"
For the next year the Commis-
sioners are asking the Federal con-
tribution be increased to $8,175,'
900. This sum was arrived at by
taking am average of the share
paid by the Federal Government in
the 10 years since the lump
sum" method of payment was in
augurated.
This increase is asked because
of increased costs of local gov
ernment. The Federal appropria-
ton of $5,700,0O0 would leave the
budget short by approximately
$2,580,000.

DR.. Hayden Johnson, president
of the board, who initiated the
movement for the reform, and
Henry Gilligan, long7standing
member, frequently have ex-
pressed their disapproVal of the
present Setup and have urged a
procedure following the law.
The next regular meeting, jan
uary 9, will in effect be an Or

Heretofore DR.. Ballou, who on
frequent occasions has been as

Citizens Protested
Civic groups on many occasions
have protested that it has been
impossible for them to know be-
forehand what was to be dis

for them to register their disap-

Partisan dreSSmakers voting an
American lady, "the best dressed

those French! Not satisfied with

The trouble is, when a man
accompanies his wife on a shop

men get him both ways. The
dresSmakers get the wife, and
the mannikins take the husband.
BY the time he gets out of
