SPORTS MOVEMENT, POLITICS DISCUSSED
 BY LABOR CONVENTION

Yesterdays session after the news release was given out was started off with the organiza tion plan of the Alaska Labor Party in it's eff forts to organize the laboring class and the small business men into one political party. Various ideas were expressed as to how this or ganization plan would be carried forth
 Other things of interest that were taken up were the sponsoring of sports movements among the workers. However, no definite action was taken at this time except that the Executive Board, which is to be elected at the end of the con- .vention, will be instructed to work out plans for the sports movement among the labor ranks in Alaska, and to present a plan to the next convention.
 Today's session was opened up with routine business. Some of the business men of the town were pres ent to discuss the petitions request ed by the delegates of the s. s. Gen. w. c. Gorgas that are being circu- lated around town.
 After these business men had ex- pressed their opinions concerning the petitions, it was the general bought that if adverse criticism is not stopped that there may be fur l ther shortage of food, as it was ex-
 pressed there is no doubt that the
 emergency ships would be stopped
 It was the general opinion of the
 convention that "if the emergency
 ships are stopped it will be because
 of the lack of cooperation in Alaska
 by selfish business interests"

ANTI-JAPANESE FISH MEMORIAL
 OFFERED HOUSE
Congress Urged to Take Action-Plea Also Made
 for Further Colonization

Two memorials dealing with colo nization in Alaska and fishing in Bristol Bay were introduced in the House of the Territorial Legislature at it's session this morning by Repre- sentative Ed Coffey of the Third Division.
 Pointing out that Japanese fish ermen, using nets three miles long, are making terrific inroads into the fishing in Bristol Bay and thus de- priving Alaskans of means of live lihood. House Joint Memorial No. g urges that Congress consider seri- ously appropriate action by treaty or otherwise. The Coffey memorial brings out that while Alaska fish ermen and canneries are required to keep within regulations aimed to perpetuate the fish supply, the Jap anese floating canneries are under no regulation and simply take the fish when and how they please.
 Citing the Matanuska coloniza- tion program as an example of what can be done in developing Alaska, the second Coffey memorial urges that Congress and the President continue the colonization plan in the Territory, particularly with a view to establishing another colony in the Homer district
 House committees ssettled down to consideration of bills now before them this afternoon and most of the major committees were in session.

once or twice, when he had been
unusually lame and had stayed in
bed, she had come over in the day
time for a chat or for a game of
cribbage. Tonight everything was
as usual: books and photographs,
chairs and rugs and lamps, but she
sensed this rather than saw it, for
her anxious eyes were instantly
fixed upon the man who lay painting,
propped in pillows, in the wide,
comfortable bed. The worn, deep
lines Of the disillusioned face were
accentuated now by his violent i'll

as she came in, and stretched his
lean hand toward her.
