COMMISSION STUDIES NEWS.

Comment II Declined by Chairman Of
Maritime Group.
b the Associated Press.
Members OF the Maritime Commits
sion today studied intensively the
news Of the West Coast shipping
strike, and the call OF q sit-down
strike on the East Coast, but Admiral
Henry A. Wiley, commission CHAIR
man. declined any immediate COM
ment.
Wiley indicated to newsmen that
some idea Of the commissions course
might be forthcoming after the re-
ceipt of direct word from Rear Ad-
miral Harry @. Hamlet. commission
member now on the West Coast.
Neither the White House nor the
Labor Department had any immediate
statement on the far-reaching strikes.
Secretary Perkins was absent from
the city on q speaking tour, while
Assistant Secretary McGrady was en-
gagged in direct peace efforts on the
West Coast.
Later, Hugh L. Kerwin, director of
the Labor Departments Cancellation
service, said he had been informed
by his aides on the coast that Nc
Grady had arranged for conference
today between the Masters, Mates and
Pilots Union and the steam schooner
owners. He said he was informed
other maritime unions were in agree
ment with the steam schooner owners.
Longshoremen, he was told. may seek
individual agreements with employers.

has been q foregone conclusion since
the 1884 strike Wage scales were
raised to such a favorable level, as
compared to East Coast and Gulf
Port pay, that wages were only a
minor issue in the present disagree
ment.
Coastwise freighter operators read
lily agreed in last-minute negotiations
to increasing pay Of sailors from $40
to $50 a month. Wage increases also
were accorded other classifications Of
workers.
East Coast and foreign steamship
companies accepted the longshore-
mems demand for 81 an hour instead
of the present IS cents, and a pro-
portionate increase in overtime to
$3.50.
Even the four big West Coast off,
shore companies agreed to the higher
hourly wage, hut wanted to lengthen
the working day from six to eight
hours. This, Bridges said, would
amount to 50-cent-a- day cut for
stevedores who now work eight hours,
getting overtime for the last two
hours.

SPEED'S BLOW TO ISOLATION

At the weekend the new German zeppelin von Hndenburg completed her second trip across the Atlantic in the remarkable time of slightly AS hours During the same hours young Peter Dana, 20-year-old flying speed ball, raced the old three-fag route Vancouver, B C.. to Agua Caliente, Mexico, in six minutes over eleven hours.
 For great many years have sat back as a nation consoled in the fact that isolation was one of our first lines of defense. We were long ways from European and oriental shores. Four days by fastest steamer the best any could do across the ocean to land shores. There was good deal of satisfaction in isolation But that another day.
 Speed is cutting down isolation in terms of dis tance. Faster and faster machines in the air zep- pelins, China Clippers, racing arpanes, all doing their utmost to tear down best barrier against rest of the world-isolation. There has been many years feeling of real security in the distance we held from other shores but no more. Mans nven- tive genius has robbed of the old theory that be- cause were long ways off nothing could happen

 This is a fortunate sway for in structors of many sorts ProfeS- sors of economics and other univer- sity leaders are to attract attention at the close of the college year.
 Young folks are fortunate at this time when the seers foresee the beginning of really remarkable ca reers Men and women who will reach the highest success are among the least conspicuous mem bers of the classes of '36.
 In the new era the United States is to pass through it's period of re- adjustment, which is really revo- lution, with wonderful results that establish the nation as a world power of first place.
 Again attention is drawn to the evil influences of the latest known of the planets, Pluto, which is in a place tending to increase troubles in jails and other institutions. Also it is believed to encourage illicit trade in drugs and liquors.

A Farmer-LabOr Party
Cincinnati Enquirer) |.

Cincinnati Enqurer).
 While sundry groups including the Communists talking about Farmer-Labor Party, 1t appears that President Roosevelt is building successfully The history of third party movements in this try largely the story of repeated unsuccessful e forts to weld the farmers and wage-earners into a single grouping for political action. But the align ment now taking shape is very closely akin to these earlier efforts Mir Roosevelt has strong support among farmers and likewise among wage-earners. They account for most of his popular following
 As the Review of Reviews notes in the May issue, this consolidation of farmers and labor has been gineered without seriously impairing the machinery of the Democratic party It retains urban political machines it continues in probable control of the solid South and possibly holds the allegiance of greater number of citizens whose affection for the party is traditional and related to its economic purposes
 The Farmer Labor character of the Democratic party further shown by the nature of the opposition Business sentiment and that of propertied classes generally is strongly antRooSevelt. In time these groups may become closely identified with the G. o. P as to make it in fact Conservative party; in the European of the term.
 Similar developments have taken place before this. The Democracy under Woodrow Wilson was con- Sistently opposed by business until the interrupt ed the pattern of reform politics But by 1928, with the nomination of Smith, the Democratic party was high tariff conservative party and very nearly as satisfactory to business the Republican The ques- tion therefore is whether the newest orentation of the Democratic party is to be permanent
 Time alone will answer that, but the cleavage of parties on economic lines has been growing through the depression and still appears to be politically expedient This would suggest that if MT Roosevelt is reelected for another four years his party by 1s4o will so completely have taken the character of farmers and workers party to defy the normal reversion to a party system in which only an expert distinguish between the two parties

THIRTY-FIVE DOLLAR GOLD

It is an interesting and enightening report that Governor Troy brings back from the Interior and reveals again that the greatest single benefit ing to Alaska in the last two years the boost in the price of gold. Thirty-fve dollar gold has brought to the Territory impetus in mining it has not received since gold rush days. Lacking the TO- and glitter of 98, the gold boom of the last couple of years is of permanent nature it is the Kind that will develop Alaska's great mineral resources as they should be developed, without furry and waste of stampede.
 The best example of the influx to the creeks is found in the Governors report that in all the towns he visited his trip to the Westward and Interior there absence of others than just the persons engaged in business in those towns The miners and the prospectors the workings, seeking new holdings. Old and new developments under way from the Goodnews Bay to the Circle district dredgers draglne and other oper ations going at top speed, taking from the wealth. bearing dirt of Alaska that magic substance gold which revtaizes the marts of trade throughout the world.
 It reflects clearly the oft-eXpressed and always true theory that Alaskas greatest future lies the ground. Fortunate Alaskans that they have an Administration in Washington who sees eye to eye with them that score.

20 YEARS AGO From The Empire
MAY 25, 1916.

Edward Krause, on trial in con- nection with the Kidnapping and disappearance of William Christie of Douglas, was sentenced to serve three years at McNeil Island for impersonating an officer and ten years for Kidnapping William Chris tie. Sentence was not pronounced in the other two cases against him since the court believed that if sentences were imposed in these cases it would tend to have the eff feet of prejudicing the minds of the | community against Krause and thus make it difficult to secure a fair jury for the trial on the murder charges which are pending. Judge R. w. Jennings gave Krause the maximum sentence allowed by the statute in each case and stated that in his opinion the penalty was too small and should be doubled
 The crime of impersonating an officer was committed last October when Krause appeared at the TOO" Mill at Treadwell and served a fake subpoena on Christie saying that he was an officer and that Christie was wanted in the Juneau courts The charge of Kidnapping was an outgrowth of Christie's disappear ance.
 Delegates to the Democratic con- vention settled down to serious work with the following Juneau persons appointed to various committees: John w. Troy, w. A. Holzheimer, J. J. Connors, John R. Vim, B. D. Stewart.
 It was announced in London that while the thinking people of Eng land had no doubt as to the out come of the war, they looked for it to continue three years more and preparations were being made to that end.
