WORD ON CODE AWAITED
BY FISH AUTHORITY

With the salmon code just a year
old, Seattle packers are awaiting
word from Washington before they
take any steps toward the termina-
ton of the arrangements which
have been in effect under the NRA.
Counsel for the canned salmon
industry code authority is in Wash
ington at this time, studying the
situation and seeking to learn
what the trend will be. A report
from this source is expected soon,
The canned salmon code author
ity is the only national organiza-
tion in Seattle. All other code rep
resentatives are branches of groups
which are centered in the east. 1t
came into being on May %, 1884,
opening offices in the Exchange
building in charge of A. C. Ellis
worth.
The feeling of the packers seems
to be to go ahead with this years
arrangements with their workmen
They are hopeful that prices will
remain sufficiently high to COM
pensate them for the additional ex-
pense. Practically all crews are in
the north except the short season
organizations, some of which will
not leave until July 10.

80 DISCOUNTED WORKERS
LEAVE MATANUSKA COLONY

of the group of federal transient
workers brought north to work on
the Matanuska colonization project
are awaiting the sailing of the bu-
reau of Indian affairs motorship
North Star from Seward to return
to the states.
The men had no funds and Mayor
Oscar Gill arranged to have the
city provide food and shelter for
them pending their departure.

Wrangell Men Return
From Construction Job

The barge Garnet, of the Alaska
Spruce & Cedar Products corpora
ton, arrived in Wrangell early
Wednesday evening, bringing N.
Nussbaumer and a crew of men
from Waterfall, where they have
been engaged in construction work
for the Nakat Packing company.
The barge was towed to Wrangell
by the cannery tender Frederick C.
Nussbaumer, who had the contract
for building the new addition to
the Waterfall cannery, left four
men there to finish the work, and
returned to Wrangell to start saw
mill operations here.
Th building under construc-
ton is part of an extensive pro-
gram which will take several years
to complete, according to Nuss-
banner. 1t is two-story structure,
60x100, lined throughout with
clear lumber furnished by the
Wrangell mill 1t is to be used as
a fishhouse, and is provided wit
sloping floors of two and one-half
inch tongue and groove kiln dried
lumber. The upper floor is kiln
dried hemlock flooring laid over
shiplap. The work has been in pro-
gress since April, with a crew OF
Is men from Wrangell, providing
payroll of some $4,000. The six men
who remained to finish up expect
to be through in four or five days,
but they will probably remain in
Waterfall for about 10 days longer,
to aid in preparations of the can
merry for the fishing season.
Expect Large Pack
The Waterfall cannery produced
the largest pack of any single unit
in Alaska for 1884, Nussbaumer
states. The pack was 100000 cases.
Preparations for another record
pack are under way, and the new
cannery boat Quaker Maid" one
of the most modern tenders ever
built for the Alaska canning indus
try, is scheduled to arrive in
Wrangell some time next week
from Seattle. She is equipped with
all the latest devices for such
craft, including automatic steering
apparatus. The Quaker Maid" will
tie up at the sawmill dock to take
on cargo of lumber

title principally because he failed

his contempt for his opponent and
didn't make much effort to fight
except in brief flashes. On those
occasions he outpunched Braddock

Recruits Enrolled
For Local ECW Crew

Recruits for a local ECW crew
will be enrolled shortly for a pro-
gram of work recently outlined by
the U. S. Forest Service in the Pet
ersburg-W rangell district, accord
ing to information received this
week from j. M. Wyckoff. Men of
Is years or over, who are able bod
led and in good health, are eligi-
BILE. They will be required to sign
up for a period ending September
80, and will receive $50 a month,
together with board and lodging,
clothing and medical attention.
Ranger Wyckoff says that he
will accept applications Immediate
ly, and will enroll up to 25 for this
district. Accommodations will be
decided upon as soon as he knows
how many wish to sign up. There
will be an opportunity for these
men to sign up again for another
six months at the end of the pres
ent enlistment period, it was stat
ed.
The work will consist principal
ly of clearing brush and making
trails in the national forest re-

FRANCE IN DILEMMA.
Torn Between Russian Alliance and
England's Stand.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 23.-Government off,
cials indicated today that France is
torn between Russia's proffer of q mil
itary alliance and the prospect Of
England's aid in the event of q Ger
man attack.
While attempting to minimize the
importance of a hitch in the Franco
Soviet negotiations for q mutual as
sistance accord, the officials admitted
France seeks to avoid a clash with the
principles Of the Locarno treaty, which
guarantees the continuation of peace
and existing territorial boundaries.
France, they reiterated, is seeking
to avoid any promise for automatic
aid to Russia in case Of an attack on
that nation. If Germany should at
tack Russia, and France were required
by an alliance to attack Germany from
the other side, the officials explained,
Britain might feel obligated under the
Locarpo treaty to fight on the side Of
Germany.
The French hope now to induce
Moscow to drop the automatic clause
by explaining to Russia that England,
because Of her danger from hostile
airplanes, probably would aid in re-
pulsing any German attack II the
Locarno treaty were not compromised
by military alliances.
