ago. Billy Kurten is n his 73rd year

the Business Bureau and has been
assisting all its members with their
applications for permits. Over 200

tary, however, and since there is
no way to compel its observance,
efforts to freeze" wages and prices
at the present levels are likely to
fail
President Roosevelt, who saws
that the invalidation of NRA is
like going back to the horse and
buggy days, is said to be formulat-
ing a substitute, which will be sub
mitted to congress this session. The
plan, as outlined at present, may
call for the use of the federal tax
power in an effort to force both
interstate and interstate business
to concede minimum wages and
collective bargaining.
Meanwhile he tests the public
temper through the deluge of let
ters which the American public
has been encouraged to write to its
chief executive. This is perhaps one
of the most remarkable things
about the president - this invita-
ton to write him personally. OF
course he doesn't read the letters
himself. 1t takes a small army Of
clerical workers to do it for him.
Nevertheless, if we are to believe
those who are in close touch with
the administration, every letter is
read and its contents noted by
someone, nd this information,
summed up, is handed to the presi-
dent.
The major issues of the 1886
campaign are already beginning to
take definite shape, and the oppos-
ing forces are lining up on the is
sue of whether the federal govern
ment shall have the power to deal
with economic and social problem
of the nation or whether the states
themselves shall WELD this power
without interference from the gov
eminent. The leaders of both par.
ties realize that with millions of
persons on relief there is little time
left for further experiments. All
talk about decent living wages" il
exchange for fair deturns on in
yestments" are nothing but naive
and meaningless phrases until So
eiety is properly organized to de-
fine and put them into effect.

WRANGELL THIRD ON ALASKA
LIST FEDERAL BUILDINGS

DR.. R.N. Scruby, vice-president
of the Wrangell Chamber of Cor =
merce, presided at It's luncheon
meeting Wednesday and will serve
in that capacity to relieve F. S
Barnes. president. until the close
of the cannery season.
Arrangements were made for the
entertainment while in port at
Wrangel of the members of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce party
who will be aboard the Aleutian
next Monday on a Good VIII tour
of Alaska and it was suggested
that the cooperation of the Wo-
mems Civic club be requested fcr
the entertainment of the women in
the tour
The members upon being asked
ID frankly express, what, in their
opinion, would be the wisest course
for the town council to pursue in
the matter of fixing up Trout
street. voted unanimously that they
opposed temporary repairs and that
the chamber of commerce would
support the council to the full eX-
tent in any effort made to obtain
funds to put Front street in first
lass condition.
Included in the correspondence
cad was a letter from Delegate Di-
mond dated May 13, regarding tho
Federal building project for the
city of Wrangell
On the previous Friday Governor
Troy and the delegate had taken
the matter up personally with both
Colonel Clark of the PWA and with
officials of the Procurement Divia=
ION, Treasury Department.
The Alaskan officials were in
formed that the building at Wran-
CELL was under contemplation but
that no funds were now available
TOR construction.
In the Procurement Division
they were told that the city of
Nome, on account of the disas-
trous fire suffered last summer.
was entitled to priority for pub
lie building; that the city of An
chorage was considered as next in
line; and that Wrangell was third.
This priority list is based upon
the pressing need of the several
cities for a public building. AT
Nome the fire destroyed the court
house, post office and other public
buildings and so it is plain that a
Federal building should be con-
structed there first. The Anchorage
building has been on the approved
list for some years but no funds
were ever appropriated or allotted
tor it.
Delegate Dimond does not know
whether money can be obtained for
these buildings during the present
year or not. He and Governor Troy
have urged the PWA repeatedly to
set up money for the Nome build
ing right away, but it has not
been done.

from the super heaters. Captain
Jakeway who owned and operated
the boat for the Jakeway Distribut-
ing company, told Mr.. Barnes that
they had been having trouble with
the engines a short time before,
while in Wrangell Narrows
The engineer, according to Cap
tain Jakeway, had been working on
the engines and had left the en-
gineroom only five minutes before
the fire broke out. A tremendous
puff came first, followed by other
puffs in rapid succession. Foamite
fire eXtinguishers were brought into
play but the fire gained Roadway so
quickly that Captain Jakeway or
dered the craft abandoned.
In addition to Captain and Mrs
Jakeway and the engineer. there
were two men passengers. There
was no time to save even their
personal belongings, it was report
ed Mrs. Jakeway reached Wrangel
clad in a simple house dress. and
the men were in their shirt sleeves.
They arrived here aboard the Betty
just in time to catch the Alaska
southbound.
The Alt Heidelberg is reported
to have had little in the way of
cargo other than several hundred
empty beer barrels, which are now
being salvaged by fishermen. The
boat was valued at about $4,000.
and the loss is said to be partially
covered by insurance.
There were sounds of revelry by
night, according to those who visit
ed the scene of the fire late that
evening. Numerous fishing craft
firm Elephants Nose were anchored
in Mud bay close to the hulk of the
Alt Heidelberg, and beer was flow
ing freely.
Even while the yacht was still
afire, a number of skiffs were tied
up to the stern and bottled beer
was being handed around to all
who desired it. Captain Jakeway
had warned them that the fuel tanks
might explode at any time but the
boys stood on the burning deck un-
til the smoke drove them back to
their boats About nine o'clock the
fuel tanks aft exploded. heaving
beer in all directions Salvage
operations were carried on far into
the night and it is reported that

DEATH OF AN EAGLE
By RICHARD sURATT

The classic figure of Justice
blindfolded and holding the scales
is a familiar symbol of the impair
TALLY with which the law should
be administered. The jurist must
close his eye to the probable conse-
quences of his DEGREES. This is par
ticularly true of that august body,
the U. S. Supreme Court. The nine
justices doubtless were aware that
their ruling on NRA would preci-
plate a crisis in government, but
we must presume, since they acted
unanimously, that their decision
was just.
We all remember the early days
of the Blue Eagle, and the parades
staged by enthusiastic supporters of
the New Deal. The President want
ed to raise wages and shorten the
hours of labor, hoping to take up
the slack in employment and in
crease the purchasing power of the
workers. In return for the higher
wages and shortened hours the in
dustries were invited to write their
own codes.
There was not much friction I'M
til February, 1884, by which time
the codes were written and the gov
eminent faced the problem of en-
forcing them. By that time it was
becoming apparent that the whole
endeavor suffered under handicaps
of hastily improvised codes, many
of which were unavoidable from the
start. There was little consistency
in the application of minimum
wages and maximum hours; trade
practice provisions of the codes
were intricate, restriction of out
put caused a rise IN prices and
"chiseling" became common.
1t is estimated that about one
sixth of the unemployed have
found jobs as a result of the short
ened work day, but in most cases
this proved to be nothing but a
share work" plan, with wages lag
ging behind the rising cost of liv-
ing. AS a result the purchasing
power of the average worker diu
not increase, although the total
payroll did. This caused labor I'M
rest, accompanied by strikes and
violence.
Many economists, both here and
abroad, pay tribute to the "psy-
Geological lift which NRA pro-
duced. The adjustment of chile
labor, minimum wages, shorter
hours and better working condi-
tions. In fact a return to the old
working conditions are viewed with
dismay by many of the more en-
lightened industrialists of the ma
ton, and the word has gone forth
to maintain the present wage
scales despite the supreme court
ruling. This move is purely volun-
