AIRPORT FLOAT
WINS SUPPORT

Officials today were giving con-
sideration to the latest solution
for q permanent municipal air
port for Washington-the float
ing airport, proposed by Leroy
Pelletier, consulting engineer OF
Michigan.
Already Representative Jen.
nings Randolph CD of West
Virginia, chairman of the House
District subcommittee which stud
led the airport problem here, has
been won over by the plan.
The West Virginian has an.
nounced that he will introduce
an amendment to the bill ap-
proved by his subcommittee call
ing for a commission to select a
municipal airport site. The
amendment would direct the
commission to choose the Pei
letter plan.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission also has de-
cided to take the proposal up for
study. and the Michigan engineer
has the support of numerous aero
nautic authorities, among them
Shorty" Shredder of the Air
Commerce Bureau.
Mr.. Pelletier, a former consult
ing engineer for Henry Ford, pro-
poses that a 3,000-foot runway,
600 feet wide. be constructed to
revolve about a turntable sunk off
Gravelly Point. The runway would
be so constructed that it would
pivot with the wind, thus avoiding
the necessity of the planes circling
the field to land into the wind.

Session Is to Be Held Tn Washington in January
 to Make Plans

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Making the first Democratic move in the al- ready rumbling '36 campaign, Chair man James A. Farley has called the Democratic National Committee tc meet here the second week in Jan uary.
 The meeting will officially set the stage for the intended renomination of President Roosevelt, which is gen. erally considered a foregone con- cluSion.
 The Republican National Commit tee has already arranged to meet here on opposition campaign plans three weeks earlier
 Chairman Farley. predicting the renomination of both Roosevelt and Garner, forecast that they will carry as many states as in 1882.
 The Republicans meet on Decem- Der Is, the Democrats on January 2 or B. They will pick their convention cities for next summer and transact other party business.
 Chairman Farley said no choice oi city had been made, but his un- derstanding was that Chicago, Phila- delphia and probably Kansas City and St. Louis will bid.
 The city getting the convention usually puts up between $2O0,0OO to $250,000 to help defray party ex- penses.
 Chairman Farley indicated that the Democrats would convene the National Convention some time after the Republicans, who expect to meet early next June in a city yet to be selected.

MOVE AGAINST
 ABOLISHM MENT
 OF FISH TRAPS
Cha a m Der of Commerce Takes Action on Two
 Pending Measures

Passage of either the Sirovich bill or the Dimond bill, now pend- ing before Congress, will reduce the fish pack in Alaska by 50 per cent, and will possibly result in the closing of the Juneau Lumber Mills with the loss of large payroll to the Juneau area, according to com munications read at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Terminal Cafe today.
 Roy Rutherford, President of the Juneau Lumber Mills, and Presi- dent of the Juneau Logging Com pany, stated in letter to the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce that the two companies have invested in Juneau and their logging camps more than $25O,OO0 and furnish en- ployment to large number of men during the greater part of the year the total payroll for the last four years amounting to more than $125, ,O00.
 The value of log material in each floating trap is $2,000 and in each standing trap $3,500, the letter stated, and during the year 1885 there were in operation in South east Alaska 245 floating traps and 29 standing traps. The sale of logs and piles by the local company alone during the years 1882 to 1885 amounted to $66,403. The average life of a floating trap is approxi- mately five years, and of stand ing trap one or two years, depend- ing upon it's location, but there are

The International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, Local 203, formerly the Alaska Mine Workers Union, has filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board, 18th region. Seattle. alleging unfair practices by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in violation of the National Labor Relations Act, &C., cording to an Associated Press dis patch from Seattle.
 Announcement was made to the Associated Press by Charles R. Hope, Director of the National Labor Rela- tions Board in Seattle. Director Hope said the union charged the com- pany had coerced and intimidated employees in exercise of rights guar anteed under section seven of the aet and has formed, supported and administered a company union call ed the Juneau Mine Workers Asso- citation. The strikers demand rein statement, MT. Hope said, and furth- CT allege that the Alaska Mine Work CTS Union had an overwhelming ma jority at the time of the strike.
 Investigating
 T accept the formal charge and my investigation is now under way, i" Director Hope said. He explained he had not decided whether or not a formal complaint would be issued against the company until the inves- tigation is completed.
 The Director also has notified the A. J. Company here of the formal charge, L. H. Metzgar, General Sup erintendent of the company, an- nounced today In telegram to the company, MT. Hope said the Labor Board had not filed complaint but first desired to investigate the issue, and in bstance recounted the charges, MT. Metzgar explained.
 Company Replies
 Replying to Director Hope, Super intendent Metzgar on behalf of the company denied any and all viola- tions of the National Labor Rela- tions Act, pointed out the strike was terminated before passage of the act, and that the strikers never. had a majority in favor of the strike at any time. He further stated the company did not coerce nor intimidate any employees, had nothing to do with the formation of the Juneau Mine Workers Association and that large number of the former employees are now at work for the company. He explained the company could not without endangering safety to other employees re-employ any men who had participated in acts of violence and went on to say that some "A men are now on trial charged with rioting in connection with the strike

WASHINGTON, Dec. An view of the fact that the next session oi Congress is only a few weeks away the presence of three of the ranking Administration leaders on Capitol Hill aboard the same ship enroute home from Manila is important.

 It wouldn't be far wrong to guess that much of the groundwork of the coming session will be laid by this triumvirate in conferences and in- formal conversations before they reach Washington on or about De- cember 16.
 Very Significant
 There are AS members of the Sem ate and House in the party return ing from the Philippines inaugural a fairly good cross-section of Con- gress.
 Politicians and observers here re- gard it as especially significant, how ever, that Garner, Byrns and Robin son are able to get together for ex- tended session talks if they So desire. Such occurrences have been rare heretofore.
 Since the Vice President is recog- nized as the White Houses closest and most trusted adviser on all legis- lative procedure, his availability for exchange of views with Byrns, Rob- inson and other key men prior to January 3, 1886, is important.
 Short Session Sought
 From all angles it is highly de- sirable that the coming session be as short and snappy as possible. Presi- dent Roosevelt himself has been represented as believing it impera- tive.

 Diplomatic sources said it repre- sented the last word from London and Paris before the application of the oil embargo. No change in the attitude of the Italian Government is apparent over the proposals. which are not fixed plans for peace, but merely suggestions to forestall complete rejection by Mussolini..
 Reported Suggestions
 The suggestions are reported to include the cession of a seaport in Italy's East African colony, Eritrea. to Ethiopia. and a slight change in the frontier between Ethiopia's northern province of Tigre and Eritrea. This would leave Ethiopia in control of the holy city of Ak sum. It is also reported to have been suggested that Italy acquire Ethiopian territory south of eight degrees north latitude. including Ogaden Province, west to 38 de- grees east longitude, the remainder of Ethiopia to be entirely inde- pendent

Sheet Metal Shop Operator Gives His Version of

 STAND FOR DEFENSE
High School Girl Describes What She Says She Saw
 Near Union Hall

Assertion that he believed the men facing riot charges in Federal dis trict court were framed" was made this morning on the witness stand by A. M Geyer, of Geyer's sheet metal shop, as he testified for the defense. The witness, whose shop is near the scene of the alleged riot on Lower Front Street last June "A, declared further that at no time was there a blockade in the street through which the marchers could not have passed.
 Geyer used the word framed when he testified that bulls" mean ing special police, were standing around in the vicinity of his shop ready to beat up their neighbors, and he was not in sympathy with such things.
 Saw Marchers Coming
 The witness said that he saw the marchers who were going to regis ter at the Alaska Juneau mine com ing down Front street and at the time there were some 25 people .sauntering around" in the vicinity of the union hall. There was nobody in the street especially, he claimed and when the marchers got oppo- site his shop they came to a halt He didn't know why they stopped but reiterated there was nothing in the street to stop them from going ahead He indicated it was his theory the special officers stopped the col umn in order to start trouble. He mentioned several of the special off cers by name and said he knew they were special police, he testified, be- cause there were certain kinds oi people that would do what he termed that sort of thing.
 Union Man
