TROLLERS STOP FISH DELIVERY
 AT KETCH|KAN
Local Buyers Still in Mar ket for Salmon-Have
 Limited Space

Ketchikan trollers have decided to cease operations with no deliv- cries to be made after tomorrow, according to advices received here this morning.
 The action. came as result of the enormous quantities of salmon being landed and the shortage of facilities of disposal due to the interrupted shipping occasioned by the longshoremen's strike.
 So far no action has been taken by local trollers as Juneau repre- sentatives of the various companies in the market have facilities of storage for fish purchases for short time yet
 Salmon Catch Unsold
 Wallis S. George, Manager of the Juneau Cold Storage Company and local representative of the Alaska Coast Fisheries, said this afternoon that he had information to the effect that 234,O00 pounds of salmon were unloaded on the docks at Ketchikan yesterday, of which 27,000 pounds remained unsold last evening
 MT George also stated that he is in receipt of a telegram from a troller there offering salmon for delivery in Juneau and requesting a proce quotation So far, no re- ply has been made.
 Still In Market
 Rumors about town that fish companies represented here had received orders to cease buying were declared unfounded by both Wallis s. George and E. E. Eng strom, the only buyers in the mar ket here at the present time. It is not known how long purchases can be continued, as that will de- pend upon how soon the available storage space is used up, and upon how soon shipping is resumed by lines serving this port.

CLOSE CHECK-UP BEING MADE ON AUTO LICENSES
Motor Vehicle Owners and Drivers Warned by Chief
 to Have Proper Permits

Owners of motor vehicles oper- ated on the streets of Juneau with out 1884 license plates on both front and rear of the cars, will be out of luck, according to c. J. Davis. Chief of Police, who has is- sued instructions to officers to tag all such cars.
 There are still a few cars be- ing operated that are carrying old license plates, and as nearly five months have elapsed since the 1884 licenses were payable, we feel that we have given vhicl owners plenty of time to obtain new licenses. There are also a number of cars carrying only one 1884 plate. The law requires license plates to be affixed at both front and rear and violations of this regulation will not be tolerated any longer. Every car that does not have the proper plates is being tagged, and the owner will have to square him. self with the City Magistrate"
 Defective equipment is also be- ing closely checked by police offi- cers, said Chief Davis, brakes and lights getting the most attention.
 Several fines have been levied against speeding motorists recent ly and vigorous steps are being talk en to curb this practice" said the chief.
 Another bit of advice given out by Chief Davis today is a warning to motorists to be Sure they have taken out operators licenses for the period ending May 3l, 1885. Nobody is permitted to drive a car without such license, and violations are to be penalized un- less drivers hustle up to the City Clerks office and arrange for the necessary permit" he declared.

 MAY BE CLOSED

If the shipping tieup continues for another 10 days, the Ketchi- kan Spruce Mills will have to dis continue its operations and some 15O men will be thrown out of em- ployment, declared E Id on Daly, President and General Manager of the company, who arrived here last night by plane on a business trip. He plans to return home this even- ing or tomorrow by plane.
 The mills have orders that prom ised to make it the best season in several years, but if the strike con- tinues to blockade traffic it will be disastrous, he said Much of the stock under order is for Western points.
 At present the mills have 500,000 feet of lumber on its docks for the West. Included in this is 250,000 feet of ties for the Alaska Rail- road. Within a few days this will be increased to 100000 feet. All available storage space will be ex- hausted within 10 days, MT. Daily said. If there is no movement by that time, the company will be forced to close down.
 We are working 80 men in the sawmill and box plant and another 70 in the woods. If we close down all of these will be out of em- at least temporarily" he said.

RAILROAD PENSION
CASE IS SPEEDED
Carrier Executives Hope
Early Review Will
Be Granted.
nv CHAS. P. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer

Railroad men are hoping that the
Department OF Justice will be success
ful in its announced effort to get an
early review on the constitutionality
OF the railroad retirement act.
This act was held unconstitutiona
on October "a by Chief Justice Alfred
A. Wheat OF the Supreme Court of the
District Of Columbia on the ground
that 1t extends its provisions TO persons
not engaged In interstate commerce
and that it takes the property of the
carriers without due process of law.
In this case the usual procedure has
been abandoned in the interests OF
speed, and the District of Columbia
Court of Appeals has certified the
record of the lower court which auto
maticslly sends the case to the highest
court in the land. where the Justice
Department "contemplates early ac-
tion."
Meantime the carriers have SIS. 900. =
600 tied up pending the ultimate ruling
representing the first quarters con-
tribution, due November /, which they
would be compelled to pay into the
ANY nAC poi IASuldAlJ ultCICcUcu
in having the issue settled, for the
Supreme Courts concurrence in the
lower courts opinion would release this
money for capital expenditures and
other purposes.
The retirement act was passed In the
closing session OF Congress and pro-
vided for the retirement OF railway
employees who have been in the service
for 80 years or who have reached the
age OF IS. They would get a pension
or annuity based on the period Of
service Of the employe.
the necessary money would be con- =
tributed by the employees and by the
respective railway corporations. the
employees contributing an aggregate Of
one-third of the fund with the carriers
supplying the remainder. The act
would be administered by q railroad
retirement board, created by the meas
ure. and it was estimated 1t would cost
the carriers about seo, ,ooo, 900 annually

NEW YORK, November s.-Exten-
sion OF the automobile code and the
passing Of prediction uncertainties
have cleared the way for further i'm
provement in steel demand, according
to a summary of the industry issued
today by Iron Age.
While no spectacular gains sre
likely during the remainder of the
year." the publication states, in view
OF the approach of the inventory sea-
son. a steady and perhaps accelerating
upward trend is looked for. In 1893,
the month OF November marked the
low point Of steel output In the second
half of the year and December brought
substantial increase.
This year. with current operations
at asa per cent as against 26 per cent
a year ago. production should follow
a similar course. Whether 1t will rise
as high as in December, 1893, when
1t averaged 80 per cent, will depend
mainly on the rapidity with which
motor car companies get their new
models into full production.
