WORKERS NOT
 PRIVILEGED TO QUIT POSITIONS
Pacific Coast Arbitrator in Oil Tanker Trouble
 Makes Ruling

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 2l.-While the oil tanker strike continued on the Pacific Coast with more than 30 vessels tied up Judge M c. Sloss, Pacific Coast arbitrator on waterfront abor problems. ruled that workers in the dispute with their employers were not privileged to leave their jobs pending settlement of the is sues.
 Judge Sloss ruled that it is the duty of both employer and em- ployee to see that work is contin- ued while the matter under dispute is being settled, under provis- ion provided by the award of the National Longshoremen's Board of Last October"
 The Judge pointed out that each port has an employer and employee Labor Relations Board to take up such matters and can appoint an arbitrator to act if the Board can not reach decision.
 The oil tank operators have com- plained that the tanker seamen called the strike without any noti- fication or attempt at arbitration.

DIMOND BILLS
 ARE APPROVED
 BY HOUSE COM,
One Is Poor Convict Law Other Is Right to Ap-
 peal Higher Court

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The House Judiciary Committee has ap- proved of two bills of Alaska Dele- gate Anthony J. Dimond.
 Che would make what is com- monly termed the poor convicts law" applicable to Alaska. In the United States proper there is a general law permitting a prisoner sentenced to pay fine and who is financially unable to do so, to make affidavit that he is pauper aside from $20 which the law pro- vides cannot be drawn upon-and after serving thirty days of his fine he may be released. In Alaska the law compels the prisoner to serve the full amount of his fine, sometimes representing more than a year in jail because of inability to pay. It is generally felt that the same law used in the States should apply to Alaska.
 The other bill provides for right of appeal from judgments or decis- ions of the District Court for Alas ka to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in all criminal cases, and in civil cases where the value in controversy is less than $1 1,000 and sentence is less than one year.

London Regar ds Berlin Move as Stiff Jolt Situation Grave

GENEVA, March Predetermined to override all opposition in the march to full rearmament, the German Government has flatly de- clined to consider the French and Italian protests against abrogation of the Versailles Treaty military clauses.
 Hitler Rejects
 Associated Press dispatches re- ceived here said that French and Italian Ambassadors, after paying separate visits to the Reich's For eign Office. were told that Presi- dent Adolf Hitler would pay no att tention to them.
 This is interpreted in official circles here as further warning that Germany feels too strongly confident of her military power that paper protests of her violation Of the treaty are useless
 Is Direct Threat
 France. meanwhile, pronounced Germany's position as potential threat to International peace and has asked the Council of the League of Nations to make an im- mediate examination of the Ger man situation in an extraordinary meeting.
 Stiff Jolt
 London regards Germany's re- jection of the French and Italian protests as an unexpected jolt which may cause another crisis in foreign quarters.
 According to advices from Mos COW, it is indicated that France will be given full support of the Soviet Union and the Soviet will also aid in raising the question of German armaments before the League of Nations. Rome's Attitude From Rome comes word that Italy has informed Germany that it cannot accept the situation in the annulment of obligations of an International character Grave Situation
 It is felt in Geneva that the League of Nations faces the gravest crisis in it's history. It is believed a meeting will be held early in April to probe the situation.

Legislatiue Jam Has Ciuen
 Washington Case of Jitters
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, March 21.-It is becoming more apparent daily that unless something is done to break the legislative jam on Capitol Hill soon there's likely to be an ex- plosion resulting in damage no one dares estimate.
 Everyone seems to be suffering from an extremely bad case of the jitters. The fact is evidenced by such scenes as that enacted by Huey Long and Joe Robinson, ma- jority leader of the: Senate, when it looked as if the two would &C., tually come to blows on the floor.
 It further is evidenced by the concern members of Congress show privately and publicly on the way they are being bombarded by the folks back home.
 One newcomer to the Senate ob- served ruefully that when he took his oath of office, one of his friends congratulated him with the words: T hope you die member of the Senate" His reply was made some time later as follows: My heavens, what a friend!"
 Too Much Politics?
 There are many reasons advanced for the present state of things.
 One frequently heard is that too many members of Congress are playing politics and the vote in the senate on the prevailing wage" amendment to the five bil- lion dollar work relief plan is cit ed.
 Some place the blame on Presi- dent Roosevelt. They say his fail ure to indicate clearly the bills he does and does not want or what modifications would be acceptable to him, causes confusion in the minds of administration leaders on Capitol Hill, and many misunder- standings.
 Back Scratching
 The legislative game is one of the trickiest ones known. Intrigue plays a tremendous part. Often it resolves itself into simply the old practice of Understanding.
 Frequently measure is permit ted to pass one House and blocked in another. Then always there are the carefully laid plans of the boss es to refashion measure to their own liking in conference.
 Probably that's the real reason the President flatly has declared to Washington newspapermen and others with hint of impatience, incidentally they must not expect him to comment in advance on proposed legislation.
 There1l be time enough for talk when a measure has run it's course through Congress and gone to 1900 Pennsylvania avenue for his sig nature.

Greater Lund
Interest Noted
C. B. & @. Colonization Agent
States At Irrigation Congress
At Billings, Tuesday.

A more pronounced interest in
farm and ranch property in Mon
tana and other western states is
being shown at the present time
by eastern capitalists and other
persons than during any period
since 1920 says Wednesday morn
ing's Billings Gazette.
That vas the statement made
here Monday bv Val Kuska of
Omaha, Neb., colonization agent
for the Burlington railroad, who
attended the opening session of
the federal irrigation congress
Monday morning and conferred
with local agriculture and trans
portation officials during the af-
ternoon.
Montana ranks high among
states in which the land interest
is being displaved." he said.
It is the agents job to travel
about the country, particularly
served by the Burlington lines,
and attempt to find suitable
homes and occupations for new
settlers from eastern states. He
reported that federal irrigation
projects throughout have opened
a gateway for thousands of ad-
ditional families in the west.
Main reason for the new in
vestment channels is the realiza-
ton that farm lands are the
safest and best investments" Mr..
Kuska reported.
Hundreds of new families have
settled during the last few years
on land adjacent to the Riverton
irrigation district in central W.
oming and on the wildwood irri-
cation project south of Powell,
Wyo., he said.
Agricultural and livestock condi-
lions throughout western and CEN
trail states are far better than
any time during the last five
years, he reDorted.

represented by James B. Quest.
