"FAIR"' AND. UNFAIR"
 PLACES DISCUSSED AT LABOR CONVENTION

Saturdays session of the All AL aska Labor Convention, after the regular routine of business, was centered mostly on the request of the representatives of the s. s. General Gorgas, for the fair and unfair business places of Juneau.
 There was much discussion as to what places should be placed on the fair and unfair list; also the question as to who would be the judges of this question. From all discussion both pro and con, it was suggested that this matter be left up to the, Central Labor Council, which is being formed by the var ious locals of the American Fed eration of Labor here in Juneau. It was requested that the Central Labor Council have this list ready : by the time that the s. s. Gen. eral Gorgas arrives here in Juneau on her return trip south.
 Attention was drawn to the need of Labor Commissioner, also sanitary engineer here in the Ter ritory to take care of the labor troubles and to see that all work CTS have sanitary places to work as far as possible. Much discussion was given to this subject as most of the delegates told of the unsanitary conditions that many of the work CTS have to endure when it is not necessary. Some of the delegates reported that a bill was being irl- troduced in the present Legislature concerning a Labor Commissioner, and it was decided that this matter be tabled until the full contents of this bill could be secured.
 Todays session opened at 2 o'clock with the discussion of the action of the Mayor, the Chamber of Commerce and others in the maritime strike, and resolutions protesting this intervention" are to be circulated through the city for signatures, it was stated.
 Tomorrow's session will open at ? p. m. | ~s
