The report was essentially the
same as that published in The
Citizen yesterday afternoon, ex-
cept that there were number of
incidentals which were meant for

from his Western trip convinced
that the nation is behind his pro-
gram, possibly excepting the Su-
preme Court reform plan. His
speeches indicated little doubt Of

reduced hours of labor, higher
wages, the abolition of child labor

country have the support of the
people.

Wages and Hours legislation
apparently faces a much sitter
battle. Although passed by the
Senate. and reported by the House
Labor Committee, the bill is
pending before the House Com
mittee on Rules, which shows
little intention of speeding its
passage. OF course, a petition to
discharge the committee, signed
by enough representatives, would
take the measure from the COM
nittee, but it is somewhat doubt
fpl whether the necessary sigma
TIRES can be secured.

Business generally seems to be
determined in its opposition to
the present bill and considerable
uncertainty exists as to the atti-
tude of the American Federation
of Labor. which has more influ-
ence in Congress than any other
labor organization. Southern
congressman are reported almost
unanimously opposed to the meas
ure on account of their fear that
it will result in injury to industry
in that section where wages are
not as high as in other industrial
areas.

The Presidents Chicago speech,
specific in its favor of peace and
general in its outline of American
participation in a concerted ef-
fort to settle world conditions,
continues to stir speculation here
and abroad. While some observ-
ers jumped to the conclusion that
the Quarantine might IN
clude a blockade or boycott Of
Japan. Others inclined to the be-
lief that Mr.. Roosevlt win seek
results without attempting any
thing drastic. II Is generally

Traces Found, 0b|ong-H
 Race in Alaska

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. - A Smithsonian Institution cientist has reported discovery of new evil dence that the Aleutian Islands were a race nursery" for the abor- iginal population of America"
 pr. Ales Hrdlicka, Smithsonian curator of physical anthropology, said his Far North expedition this summer found remains in the Aleu- tian Islands of an oblong- race of earlier occupancy than the broad headed Aleuts.
 Remains of the same racial stock have been found on Kodiak Island and in British Columbia.
 What became of this old stock is unknown said pr. Hrdlicka, but indications are that some of them may have made their way as far south as California.
 The Aleuts cannot be considered as derived from them; they stand too far apart. There is some reason to believe, in fact, that the Aleuts represent backward from Alaska toward Asia, while there can be little doubt that the "oblong- heads" constituted one of the migration waves from the old world to the new.

 INCINERAT0R
Committeee to Press for Action Before City
 Dads Tonight

The ever-recurring question oi Juneaus sewage and garbage dis posal may rise before the City Coun- cil tonight when specially pointed committee of the Central Labor Council is scheduled to re- quest action.
 President Chris Hennings of the Labor Council last night appointed Ray Traitor, John Miller, Walt Hickey and Harvey McKowan to present the need for rectifying all legged 'unsanitary conditions" on Franklin Street and Willoughby Avenue.
 The Labor Group, in its semi monthly meeting, passed resolu- tion favoring the establishment Of a city incinerator to burn city ref use. instead of utilizing the pres ent city dump.
 Refuse Drifts
 This action followed a protest of Ray .Trafton who asserted that the city refuse eventually landed on the Douglas beach, making a con- dominating condition in the city across the channel.
 Delegates from virtually all To- calls reported their organizations had wired American Federation of Labor officials protesting the char ter of Federal Labor Union 2l ,00l, which has been denounced by the central group as being in conflict with Federal Labor Union 20,904.
 For Community Club
 After some debate, the council went on record as favoring the es- tablishment of a community ath- letic club, not privately owned ,' after Secretary Charles Crozier had urged some sort of an organiza- tion to replace the dormant swim ming pool committee
 Delegate Patrick warned that If it's public, we ought to be for it, but If it's a racket, we shouldn't place cur support on it ..
