Cold "Stowaways" From Skagway Are Taken from "Vic"

Starting out to see the world IS 9 rosy prospect but lying on cold deck all the way from Skagway to Juneau takes a lot of the fun out Of it, especially if you haven't been eating. At least, that is the conclus- ion reached by William Matthews, Jr., 21, and Lawrence Sweeney, Skagway youngsters who were ta- ken from the steamer Victoria here yesterday by deputy marshals as stowaways.
 Cold and hungry the lads were quite ready to call it the end of a trip, officers reported, when they airlved in Juneau. They are be- ing cared for here and will be re- turned to their homes on the next boat going to SkagWay.
 loung sweeney IS a SkagWay high school boy and it was wire from his father which sent officers down to the "Vic" to uncover the trav- elers and care for them pending return home. Their total stake amounted to $1.40.

 Leaving here on his mercy flight at 9:l5 o'clock in the AAT Lock heed Vega seaplane, accompanied by Flight Mechanic Bud Bedding, Pilot Simmons answered the call and returned to his hanger here with the injured man at almost ex- actly II o'clock last night. John- son was immediately rushed to St. Ann's Hospital by ambulance and committed to the care of pr. w. M Whitehead. He is reported con- valescing. He is reported to have sustained his injury when his arm was caught in some machinery.

S0MMERS SETS BACK NEW BLDG.
 ON SEWARD ST.
Six Feet of Ground Along South Seward Left for
 Street Widening

With construction already well advanced a sudden change in plans by its builder, R. J. Sommers, has resulted in the stepping back of the wall fronting on South Seward Street, of the new Sommers office and apartment building being erect cd on the northwest corner of the junction of South Seward Street and Willoughby Avenue.
 In order to allow for the pro- posed future widening of South Seward Street as a direct thorough fare from the waterfront to the Sommers now plans to set his build ing back six feet from his present property line, and construction is now going forward under the new plans
 The new Sommcrs building, to replace that destroyed in the earth slide here last fall is being con- structed from plans prepared by N. Lester Troast and Associates, ar chitects. The plans call for a two- story building, with office and stor- age space, and the heating plant on the street floor, and two apartments on the top floor. Exterior walls are to be of laminated fir con- struction. The two exterior walls next adjoining buildings are to be sheathed with corrugated metal, as a fire-resistant meahure Interior walls are to be of mill construction. Foundations are of concrete, and the exterior is to be surfaced with ltucco.

Strikes ct the two local cleaning and dyeing establishments which began early last week were con- tlnued today without any new de- velopments as employees who are members Of local 4S of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of America stayed out of work this morning and renewed picketing activities, No conferences with either the manage ment of the Metrolopiltan Cleaners and DyerS, Inc. or the Hart, Inc, cleaners and dyerS, had been ar- ranged up until press time,
 No statements were forthcoming from Leon Saginor local CfO organ- iEer for the clothing workers or from the companies affected by the present strike.

Judging from varied statements and concessions which have been made by both sides since the start of the strike, the principal difaculty has to do with agreements other than those classi- fled aS verbal" The members of the union apparently intend to hold out for . signed agreement of some kind.
 No further conferences in con- nection with the strike of the 6s painters and decorators of the local A. Y. of l.. painters union were scheduled for today and as 6 result the four-day old situation still re. mains the same.
