DIMOND OFFERS MINE PROPOSAL
 AS JOB SCHEME
Government Operation oi Mines Proposed in
 Delegates Bill

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 15- Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond introduced in the House to- day, through Senator James P Pope, Idaho Democrat, a bill pro- viding for $10O,OOO,0O0 to make mining communities self support e ing.
 The bill provides government op- eration of mines and stamp mills and is proposed to give miners and others in connected industries em- ployment. The miners would be paid the prevailing wage in each locality.
 Pope and Dimond joined in de- claring they believed minerals pro- duced under their bill would be almost, if not entirely, equal to the cost of government and also would practically solve unemploy- ment problems in the mining dis trictS.
 Another advantage would be the accumulation of precious minerals in the hands of the government, Dimond said, in pointing out the bill has unusual significance for Alaska.

Opinion Divided as to Re- suit of Ultimate Out

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Con- gress said that if the war vever- ans present d mands for the bonus payment immediately, Pres ident Roosevelt plans to insist that they give up all claims for new pension benefits in the fu- ture.
 It is emphasized that the Pres ident is unwilling to see Congress pass the bonus even under that agreement.
 Administration leaders said that the President remarked even though such a bargain might be binding, it would constitute at least a moral deterrant to new demands.
 Opinion in Congress as to what will happen to the bonus bills is still divided.
 Bonus advocates predict vic- tory. Some administration leaders say the bonus will be beaten and others foresee a possible compro- mise.

Fish M easure Now Goes to Conference-Four
 Bills Approved

Failing to concur in the Senate amendment, the House this morn ing decided to demand conference on House Joint Memorial No. 2, which would ask elimination of standing and floating fish traps.
 By amendment the Senate deleted the word immediate" from the memorial and set up regulations b barring non resident fishermen. Charles Murray. author of the measure, said he was willing to concur with the Senate action rather than slow it up through conference, but when the vote was taken the result. showed Il to 5 against concurring.
 Names Committee
 Speaker Holman named Murray, Nordale and Ziegler committee to confer with the Senate.
 George Lingo and ziegler in leading the opposition to concur ring charged the memorial did not do what was intended. Lingo said it was inconsistent in that in one place the memorial cites the rights of all citizens of the United States to fish and in another place ex- pressly prohibits nonresident fish ermen from fishing in Alaska wa ters. ziegler charged he thought the Senate was trying to put one over" on the House.
 The herring reduction plant me morial, scheduled in second read ing on the House calendar, was continued until Monday, but it is doubtful if 1t will come up at that time, as the House has the Hof- man fish trap tax and the Nordalt eight-hour day bills up as special order of business when 1t con- (Continued on Page Six.)
