YEP, THE WIND,
 1T SURE BLOWS

And how! With the possible ex- ception of between the hours of 10 o'clock last night and midnight, the wind did blow with heavy stress Chats a good wordD and kept it up today.
 And only the wise guy came down town this morning without his rub bers, for early this afternon it look ed as if rubbers would be needed before night as the snow was coming down and sticking in some places where the wind did not strike, if such a thing was possible.
 And the first phone call to The Empire office came this morning at 730 o'clock when a man said he had several dismantled Christmas trees in his front yard and they were not his and he wanted to place an advertisement for the owners to come and get them.
 l And then another phone call was from a man who said two of his garbage cans were missing and he wanted them to be returned.
 And then a call from the water front announced that many gar- bage cans were bouncing around down in one locality and they did not belong there-evidently going down from the residential section. And then, radio came in from Taku Harbor that there were sev- eral hats. garbage cans and covers down there; also a collection of Christmas trees, some with lights and trimmings on them.
 And this information is just given 1 to those who have missing articles because it is cinch that anything loose last night wasn't where it ought to have been this morning. ! And one man said he saw bump, bumpity thing, bump around his house during the night in the gale and if that bumpity thing had bumped into one of his big front windows of his house it would have hePO inst t0o had - h0tb for Inc bumpity thing, the window, and himself

 And one woman, at 8:30, tele- phoned to certain grocery store de- manding that she be delivered a yeast cake immediately as she had forgotten to order before and was all out and needed it right away" " No, dear reader, the reply of the order man." especially after he hung up his receiver, cannot ap- pear in The Empire because of pos tai regulations.
 And the waterfront reporter came in about 10 o'clock and casually remarked that it was blowing down along the docks and to make it pro nounced the sob sister" fiercely blew her nose and the WFR said: There comes a steamer now-back I go, and the wind she still blows. . And the oil truck driver and the coal transfer company men declare that 1t is an i'll wind that doesn't blow somebody some good.
 Airplane pilots were playing bridge today They said the weather was thick. The PAA plane almost reached Juneau yesterday, but was forced to turn back to Whitehorse. Thomas Dekker said in the 18th century: Colds the wind-troll the bowl-the jolly nut-brown bowl here's to thee-Now down it mer- rily" Those were the days.
 The first casulty of the morning occurred when two fedoras were crushed in a terrific head-on col lision at the Fire Hall corner. That was the only damage The wearers |of the fedoras had headaches left over from Christmas anyway.
 The Weather Bureau says the wind will not blow this way indefinitely, but is very apt to turn around and blow the other way (they copied the crack from a age-yellowed news paper, but it sounds appropriate.)

 Capt. Russ Elliott, on the Spencer, had to get up late last night and build fire in his boat to keep his water tanks from freezing.
 Ice encrusted boats swept as a single unit back and forth in great wide arcs at the floats today, strain ing at their moorings, creaking and groaning as their rubbing gunwales complained to one another. 1 The harbor was sea of smoke and wind-ripped wave tops today and either too cold or too rough for sea- gulls to sit on in exposed places.
 At noon today, Juneau streets downtown were vertically thronged with joyful children and adults alike, throwing snowballs with dry snow, gambling about in polo shirts and welcoming the return of spring. Yeahl

 Today's enigma =. How does it happen that when one mapped a circular course about town today going one way with doorways for shelter into the teeth of the wind that when returning in the op- posite direction, the wind was still blowing in the face?

5(AB BARBER SHOPS IN ANACONDA MUST Be
SUppRESSED-UNI0N TELLS STORY OF EFFORTS
TO keep RAT PLACES FROM FL0URHHING

To present a clear picture and his
tory OF the struggle between Union
BARRIERS and scab BARRIERS in the city
OF Anaconda, it is perhaps proper to
first answer fully the charges made
by the union men who comprise 80
per cent of the patronage of said
scab barber shops, because of the
claim, that the prices charged by the
Union BARRIERS are now and accord
ing to them have been exorbitant.
1t is true the Union BARRIERS Of
Anaconda did not cut their prices
during the height or at any time dur
ing the depression, but if a little
falr minded thought is given to the
manner in which the Union Barber
cid help the needy and those short
of funds, surely no union man can
find the price of a haircut or shave
an excuse for his continued patron
age Of a scab barber. 1t may be well
here to state that had the Union
BARRIERS had an inkling of the COM
ing of such lengthy depression, they
would in all probability have cut
their prices, but they, as all others,
believed better times and plenty was
just around the corner, but to help
at once all Union BARRIERS pledged
SO much per week to the local well
fare, plus gathering once per week
in some large empty room in the
city and cut the hair of any and all
needy children; after a short while
this was found to be inadequate, and
the Union made arrangements with
the local Welfare Board to keep the
shops Gall Union Shops open two
evenings per week to serve any
needy person issued a card by the
Welfare Board, this continued for
some time until it was found one
evening per week was sufficient to
handle such free work. The one
evening per week continued until
the abuse OF the free work became
so fragrant that discontinuance be-
came necessary, people, with four,
five or more in their families would
get the full quota of cards each week
and then sell them from a dime up,
and the BARRIERS would be working
on persons who were working and
could well afford any reasonable
price, further the demand for addi-
tional services such as tonics, sham
pools and even waves became SO
great that we had no choice other
than quit.

Ford Will Sign Conrad
W ifh u. A. w. This
Marlin predieis
By Federated Press

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Henry
Ford will sign a contract with the
United Automobile Workers of
America before this year is out,
Homer Martin, president of the I'M
ion, predicted confidently here.
Martin, accompanied by Richard
Frankepsteen, organization director
of the U. A. w, conferred here with
John L. Lewis, chairman of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization,
and John Brophy, c. l. 0. director.
The conference concerned the gen
eral situation in the union, Martin
said, and a discussion of the progress
Of negotiations with General Motors.
Organization generally is speeding
along, Martin declared, and the U.
A. w. is now paying per capita dues
on 100000 members to the c. I. O.
Ford workers r flocking into the
union and many of the outlying
plants Of the Ford Co. are 100 per
cent organized.
Ford plants completely organized
are in Los Angeles, Oakland, Kansas
City and st. Louis, Martin said, while
organization is very good" in Dallas,
Chicago, Summerville, Mass, Edge
water, N. j., Louisville, Buffalo and
Iron Mountain, Mich. Organization
is also proceeding very rapidly in
the River Rouge plant in Dearborn,
Mich.
Martin pointed out that Ford
wages are lower than either Chrys-
Ter or General Motors and even be-
low those paid in the parts and sup
plies plants. All of Ford's supply
plants r thoroughly unionized, &C.
cording to Martin, and a strike in
Ford could completely shut off pro-
duction.
Asked whether the U. A. ". in
tends to call a strike in Ford, Martin
retorted, 'We have the intention that
Henry Ford shall sign a contract"
AS to a strike in Ford, Martin said
that remains to be SEEN"
Also discussed between Lewis and
Martin was the future course of the
C. I. o., Martin said. I'VE talked
about the enlargement and stabiliza-
ton of the c. l. o., about making the
necessary arrangements to solidify
our units and keeping in closer con-
tact and drawing in more interna-
tional unions" he asserted.
The auto workers are completely
in line with Labor's Non-Partisan
League, the union president said, and
is going down the line in the Detroit
municipal elections in the fall. Mar
tin declared that Patrick H. O'Brien
is their candidate for mayor and
O'Brien as well as the other labor
candidates for city offices will be
supported by the auto workers.
Martin discounted dissension be-
tween American Federation of Labor
leaders and U. A. w. officials on the
Detroit political front. Were out
to help labor" he declared, land
quarrels among the leaders will not
affect rank and file unity in De-
troit."
