c. OF c. MEETING HELD;
 CONTINUED FRIDAY NIGHT

Several matters of importance en- crossed the attention of members of the Chamber of Commerce at a short session last evening. One com munication of particular interest to the community, to be acted upon at a special meeting tomorrow night was read. A committee of two from the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, Charles Naghel and John Keyser, Secretary pro tenn, present at the meeting, asked cooperation of the local body in supporting restriction in the sale of fireworks for the Fourth of July to limit accidents, which matter was also left over for action at the special meeting.
 A report indicating the likelihood of the U. s. Marshal's office with drawing their deputy from Douglas resulted in resolution being passed to petition officials at Washington, through Delegate A. J. Dimond, to have the Deputy's office continued in Douglas.
 Chairman Shudshift called for re- port to be made tomorrow evening by the committee on entertainment of delegates coming here for the Re- publican Territorial Convention.

VACATIONS FOR EMPLOY OF
 COvT1.TAkEN UP

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-(Spec- ial Correspondence)-The bill to provide vacations for Government employees and the bill to standard ize sick leave and extend it to all Government employees, both, of which passed the House on August 8, 1885, passed the Senate today with certain amendments.
 The bill providing vacations will become effective July 1, 1886, as amended Briefly this bill provides that employees of the Government generally shall be entitled to 26 days annual leave each calendar year, exclusive of Sundays and holi- days. This leave may be accumulat- ed through any number of years, not to exceed total accumulation of 60 days in unused leave. Tenn porary employees, excepa those en- gagged on construction work at hourly rates, are entitled to this leave at the rate of two and one half days per month.
 The bill standardizing sick leave provides for cumulative sick leave at the rate of one and one-fourth days per month, not exceeding SO days.
 Employees of the Post Office De- partment are excluded from the provisions of both of the bills.
 These bills will probably not go to conference, for it is understood that the House members will insist upon a greater cumulative period than 60 days annual leave as pro- vided by the Senate amendment

 Re-broadcast Here
 Station KINY has requested and has been granted permission to re- broadcast the NEG radio programs. The cost of the proposed airplane radio tour was touched upon brief ly by MT. Peck. The time on the NEG network which will be occupied by the broadcasts from Alaska has a market value of about $50,000 he said, and the equipment for the broadcasts and other expenses will amount to about an equal amount, making the total cost of the proposed program approximately $100000
 MT Peck reported that conditions affecting both the allotment Of air mail contracts and development of the proposed air port program are not encouraging. Before he left Washington, D. C., MT. Peck talked with Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond who, MT Peck said, is very pessimistic about the outcome of air mail appropriations for Alaska. Delegate Dimond's report on the probable success of the proposed air. port program sponsored by Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alas ka Road Commission, was not en- couraging, MT. Peck said.
 Thompson speaks

 MT. Thompson, who is one of the NEG officials who announced the last Rose Bowl game, described the equipment which will be used in the Lockheed Electra on the proposed radio tour, and cited many instances in which it has been used to ad- vantage.
 J. w Baker, Operations Supervis- or, Engineering Department, for the Nation a Broadcasting Company. was unable to attend the luncheon today, as the arrival of the Lockheed Electra from Fairbanks shortly be- fore noon today demanded his pres ence at the local airport.
