of Copper, Other Dur
able Goods, Too High

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Sena-
tor Burton K. Wheeler took issue
with President Roosevelt's conten-
ton that the price Of copper along
with other durable goods is toe
high.
The Senator from Montana said
the Presidents policy, as announc-
ed last Friday, curtailing Govern
ment purchases of durable indus
tries, will throw American miners
out Of work and force them to com.
pete with African slave labor OF
with Mexican poems"
Senator Wheeler also said the
President is wrong in stating that
American copper mines could pro-
duce profitably at 8 or 9 cents a

Il am sure that the mines in
Montana cannot pay the present
wage scale and make any money
at that price, said Senator Wheel
er.
Senator Wheeler is also opposed
to the Presidents court reorgani-
cation proposals.

SUBSTITUTE OFFERED

WASHINGTON. April 5.-Senator
Brynes this afternoon withdrew
the controversial ant -sitdown
strike amendment to the Guffey-
Vinson bill and offered a substitute
directed specifically at sitdowns.
The new proposal is an add to
other declarations of the labor pol
icy in the bill and is that lit is the
sense of Congress that the so-called
sitdown strike is illegal and con-
trary to the public policy
The first amendment was direct
ed technically only against sit
downs in the coal industry. The
new one is broader in scope.

TUBERCUL OSIS
 CHRISTMASSEAL WORK UNDERWAY
Large Committee of Wom- en Cooperating with
 Mrs. Thomas

Busy days have been the keynote
 of the large committee of club wo-
 men and others, who have been
 working for the past two weeks 1 getting out the Christmas Seals for
 the Alaska Tuberculosis Associa-
 tion's annual Seal Sale, and the larger corner room at the Health Center in the Goldstein building has been fairly humming with activity.
 According to Mrs. J. c. Thomas, assistant seal sale chairman, more than a million seals will be mailed , out this year, and inasmuch as they go to every person in the Territory of whom the Committee can find any record whatever, it means that an immense amount of work is in- volved.
 | All this work, Mrs. Thomas stress es, is volunteer work. The Associa- ton pays no salary to any of the workers, since the entire proceeds of the sale are scheduled to go to the work of making early analysis of the disease, giving guidance and ad- vice to families relative to its treat ment, and providing equipment for use If making diagnosis. The pur- chase of portable X-ray machine and other equipment that can be taken into every community in AL Q cK uy Of of expense last year, and through it's purchase has been made possible the same careful survey in outlying communities, as has been carried on during the past year in the larger centers of population.
 Both last weeks boat to the Vest ward and the Alaska which sailed yesterday carried heavy consign- ments of Christmas seals, as these were the last boats by which seals, destined for the more remote com munitieS, could be sent in order to reach the people to whom they were addressed in time for their use this coming Christmas.
 Assisting Mrs. Thomas, with the addressing of envelopes, and insert ing seals and Christmas letters in them was a committee of members of the Juneau Woman's Club, who responded to Mrs Thomas call for volunteers for this work These in- cluded Mrs. J. E. Neate, Mrs. John Chapel, Mrs. E. Robertson and Mrs. c. c. Rulaford.
