.S|LICOSIS BILL MAKES DEBUT IN

Rivers Measure WouldMake Wet Drills Compulsory
 in Mining Industry

Silicosis, disease affecting min CTS and commonly known as min- CTS consumption, made its advent into the 18th Territorial Legislature today when Senator Victor c. Rivers of the Fourth Division introduced a bill in the Senate which would amend Section 2293 of the mining law to provide that all mines or miners employing more than three men use only wet drills" or drills that operate with water passing through them, more commonly known as "water-liners."
 Author of the measure explained that it was intended to combat silicosis, or the disease caused by dust from drills in hard rock min ing.
 The bill which would change the date of the general election from September until October was kept in third reading today and probably will come up on the calendar Mon day when the Senate convenes at 10 a. m.

Daily Wage Raise


 This change will raise the average daily wage from the 1886 average of $6.15 to an average of $6.45 per day. This will increase the annual payroll by $85,000.
 The raise of 1884 made the wages at that time the highest paid by any metal mine on the North American continent. The recent rise in metal prices has prompted most of the metal mines to make an increase in pay which brings the average levels nearer to those paid at the Alaska Juneau than before. The raise eff fective February l puts the Alaska Juneau wage rate again definitely above any mine on the continent
 Pertinent Facts
 Commenting on the raise of wa ges and on the increased costs of operations, General Superintendent L. H. Metzgar called attention to some pertinent facts regarding the company's operations.
 During the year 1885, $1, ,468, ,059.77 was paid in wages in Juneau while during the year 1886, $1,699, ,408.94 was paid in wages.
 Speaking of the earlier operations of the company, MT. Metzgar gave some interesting figures which fol- low, from the beginning of opera tions up to January 1, 1887:
 The total tons trammed--61 ,010,- 998.
 The gross recovered value-$51,- : 884, ,475.42.
 Operating and marketing costs $36, ,290. .95622.
 Gross operating surplus-$15, ,593,- 519.2O.
 Dividends paid-$7,767 ,249.10.
 Large scale operations were begun in 1914. From 1915 to 1881, before the stockholders received any divi- dends, the payroll expenditures had amounted to $12,139, ,583.89.
 The total wages paid in Juneau since 1915 is $20, 0,645, ,439.95.
 In 1915 the company had 301 em- ployees at an average daily wage of $3.52.
 In 1886 the company had BIT em- ployees at an average wage of $6.15 per day.
 The Federal and Territorial taxes paid in 1885 amounted to percent of the value of the gold produced, or to 10 percent of the operating sur plus.
 It will be noted that of the oper- ating surplus up to January 1, 1937, only approximately one half has been available for dividends. The dividends paid so far amount to about 12 cents per ton on the ore mined.

ADOLF HITLER GIVES MESSAGE
 OUT TO WORLD
He 'Withdraws' Germany $ Signature from Guilty
 Pact of Great War DECLARES MOVEMENT
 OF NAZI, BEAUTIFUL
Perfect Democracy Exists in Nation as He Prepares
 for 4 More Years Rule

BERLIN, Jan. 30.-Adolf Hitler, starting to rule Germany for an- other four years, withdrew Ger many's signature from that part of the Versailles Treaty in which the Reich is declared guilty" of launch ing the world war.
 Addressing the Reichstag in message which was awaited by the world, Hitler asserted Germany's re- sumption of military sovereignty is matter affecting only the Reich We have taken nothing from any nation nor have we done any na- tion any wrong. This Government will henceforth hold sole sover- eighty over the Federal Railway System of the Reichsbank," de- clared Hitler.
 The German President then said "The NaI movement is the most beautiful, the most perfect Demo- cracy"
 Hitler then praised the "democra- tic revolutionaries in Spain"
 Wild enthusiasm followed receipt of Hitler's message.
 Hitler's Drive
 Although Hitler's drive for con- verts began in 1919, it was not until 1880 that he really crashed the gates of Berlin. In the interim came his ill-fated beer cellar putsch" at Munich in 1923, when he attempted to lead his followers to the national

MORE SHIPS FOR
 ALASKA; IF NO
 END TO TIE-UP
Ummel Declares Present Service Handling Less
 One-third of Freight

At least twenty-five thousand tons of supplies, or from six to eight full cargoes for the larger ships serv- ing the Territory, are now on the docks at Seattle awaiting transpor- tation to Alaska, according to re- cent survey. it was made known here late yesterday in a radiogram received by Gov. John w. Troy from J. R. Ummel, Alaska Purchas- ing Agent at Seattle, who is acting as Col. Otto P. Ohlson's first lieuten- ant in the dispatching of emergency ships to the Territory.
 That efforts of the Governors of- flee to bring about realization among the authorities in charge oi Alaska's absolute need for more ade- quate ship service, are bearing fruit was made apparent in second wlrt from Ummel to the Governor.
 Ummers Advices
 Ummel advised Governor Troy al follows:
 Am recommending that we either quit the shipping business entirely or get more boats. Estimate we are handling less than one-third of freight offered, and we cannot con- tinue under this unsatisfactory ar rangement."
 According to advices received by the Governor from Washington. D C., Colonel Ohlson was to arrive in San Francisco this morning tc secure suitable and adequate" ships to serve Alaska, in case efforts tc conciliate the strike should fail.
 From Gruening
 A wire received by the Governors Office, from the office of pr. Ernest Gruening, Director of Territories and Island Possessions for the De- partment of the Interior, advised that Thursday midnight, Commit tees of the International Longshore- mems Association and the ship op- orators had reached full agree ment. Our advices further said the basis of the agreement is to be sub mitted to vote of the rank and file immediately. The outlook is the most hopeful of any time since the beginning of the strike"
 Ummel. in his communications stated that he has information that the strike may be ended by nex, Monday, but that in case settle ment is not reached, he hopes tt have more ships in operation soon He further declared, that if the strike is not ended, he will load the North Star and Gen. w. c. Gorgas for Alaska again, immediately upor their return to Seattle; giving pre- ference to hay and grain orders.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. BOA thea tre audience last night unwittingly applauded as two giant Bengal tigers attacked and clawed their trainer Romano Proske, former Aus trian soldier, in a cage during the act here on a local stage.
 Stagehands with spears finally beat the beasts off and Proske was assisted from the cage after the curtain was quickly lowered.
 Proske's condition is not serious it is said.
