BOTTLINC WORKS STRUCK BY FIRE, EARLY MORNING
FIame and Water Damages Considerable Olive
 Does Paul Revere

Following on the heels of the Ia ku gale that ripped part of the front off. no sooner had a new front been installed on the build ing near Second and Seward streets housing Bert Caro's Bottling Works then early this morning fire gutted the upper floor of the structure.
 Attributed to the overheating of a two-burner electric stove. which ignited beverage syrups and other chemicals stored nearby. the fire soon ragged throughout the attic of the building. The Juneau Fire Department was called to the scene at AIS o'clock, and, after an hour and quarter of flame-battling, succeeded in checking the blaze be- lore it was able to descend to the street floor and attack the valuable bottling machinery and ingredients there.
 Wiring for the building. and all timbers of the open attic were con- siderably charred before the blaze could be extinguished Flame dam ages are estimated at about $400 or $500 to the building, and added property loss occurred when water played on the blaze by the fire fighters leaked down into the tailor shop of Henry Olive, and into the storage room of the Piggly Wiggly Market. where about $200 worth of groceries, mainly soaps and sugar, were damaged. Around Sl00 worth of syrups stored by Bert Caro in the attic also were destroyed by the flames.
 Very little damage was done to Henry Olives shop. but he, person. ally suffered considerably from in- tense excitement.
 On casually awakening long be- fore the dawn, Henry was disturbed on noticing fiery glow over his head. and large quantities of smoke crowding his chamber. Suddenly. comprehending the reason for the alien presences, Henry set himself into frantic motion. Throwing on his clothing, he darted from the building and emulated his country man, Jesse Owens, down the street, passing at top speed a corner fire alarm box.
 Suddenly finding himself abreast the Yellow Cab office on Front Street, he noticed other persons therein. and to them he gaspingly imparted his stupendous tidings. Fire! Fire Lots of fire! On top O ma placel Get de department qIick!
 The alarm was then turned in.

 According to the Chiefs state ment, an unusually heavy run of persons convicted of drunkenness and disorderly conduct during the past few days, has resulted in the fact, which the City must face, that there is no longer room in the jail for more commitments.

MINE MEN HEARD ION GOLD TAXING
 BILL IN HOUSE
Objections Raised to Levy on Gross Production
 Retard Development

For the second time this session the gross gold tax bill came up for an airing in the Territorial House this afternoon with mining men from about the Territory appearing in opposition to the measure which would levy three per cent tax on the gross production of gold and platinum mines and a net tax on the production of other minerals, The measure has previously had a Ipublic hearing in the Senate and was passed by that body by a vote of five to three.
 An amendment is now before the House, introduced by Leonard Smith of the Second, which would change the measure, originally presented by M. E. s. Brunelle of the Third. to two per cent gross tax on all minerals produced. It was for con- sideration of this amendment along with the original bill that the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole this afternoon for gen. eral discussion of the measure, one of the most important pieces of legislation to come before this ses- sion.
 Appearing before the House com mittee today were H. L. Faulkner, Juneau attorney and representa- tive of mining interests; L. H. Metz gar, General Superintendent of the Alaska Juneau; Paul Sorenson of Hirst-C -Chichagof, James Freeburn of the Chichagoff Mining Company and J. D. Harlan of the Hammon Consolidated.
 MT. Metzgar pointed out that if the new gross tax bill became a law it would virtually double the tax bill of the Alaska Juneau to the Territory which is now around $9O,- GOO. He declared that rising costs of materials and the higher price of gold at $35, making it profitable to work lower grade ore, had re- suited in lesser margin of profit than formerly. He explained that the A. J. is now working ore which it would have been impossible to work under the old price. Asked his opinion of the Smith amendment, Mir Metzgar said that he was op- posed to the gross tax theory, but that if gross tax bill was to be lenacted, the lower it was the bet ter for all operations.
 Principal objection of most of the operators to the gross tax is that the tax must be paid whether or not the operators make any money MT. Faulkner pointed out the Kensington property in Ber- ners Bay which is just in the course of development and declared that Ia gross tax would have the tendency to deter such operations and per- haps close down some entirely. He cited various mining laws in the States and in Yukon Territory, but was questioned sharply on the latter i by Victor c. Rivers of the Fourth. i MT. Faulkner said his Information was that a royalty on net profits i in excess of $10,000 is the only tax levied in Yukon Territory. Repre- ] sentative Ross asked to have read portion of an article which said two and one-half per cert tax was levied on the value of al gold /, shipped out of the Yukon Territory.

charges that MT. Mozee, who was appointed General Supervisor in 1929, was dismissed from service on charges which were false and unfounded." Prior to his appoint ment to Reindeer Service, MT. Mo- zee was teacher in the govern ment schools in the Territory for years.

SEAT RACKET
By DAVID p. sENTNER

~ AAAH ~ = SAAAN &ANAAAS
LONDON, April 8 U.N.S0.
Public resentment grew today
against alleged commercialism at
tached to the forthcoming corona
ton Of King George VI due to the
fact there are plenty Of seats
along the procession route for the
rich, but scarcely standing room
for the poor.
The stands, in which choice
seats are drawing large sums, are
"hogging" almost every inch along
the procession route, it is charged.
Circles dissatisfied with this ar
rangement are pointing out that
at the coronation Of the late King
George v in 1911 good seats were
obtainable for six pence-12 cents
and that lots Of standing room
was available,
High Cost Of Seats
But for the coming ceremony,
while $4,000 seats have been con-
structed by the Office Of Works,
the front pews are selling for 80
shillings ($7.5O and back pews
for % shillings six pence (about
$500.
These pews are for occupation
by Members Of Parliament, diplo-
mats, members Of the services and
empire representatives. Other seats
have been sold to ticket agencies,
which are charging from five to
100 guineas ($25 to $3.50.
Feel Resentment
The feeling of resentment was
reflected by headline in the Lon
don Daily Mirror, which stated:
"YOu have to pay to be patri.
otto. These coronation racket
GERS are turning our King into
a man with q price ON his head.
He is King Of the humble IS
well IS Of the rich. How he
must lOathe this ramp that has
cOmmercialized his coronation"
The article charged the solemn
day Of the coronation is being be-
smirched by "thugs of big bust
ness, seat racketeerS and unscru-
pulous opportunists."
There also was resentment
among the vanguard Of Americans
here for the coronation and others
who have engaged hotel rooms at
fancy prices, intending to give
coronation parties.
Hotels are charging an entrance
fee on Coronation Day for extra
guests In rooms, claiming this is
necessary as SPECTATORS are at
tempting to make sardine coro-
nation stands out of hotel rooms"

PAL R DEBATES
S|T-STR|KES

The legality Of the sit-down
strike is both attacked and de-
Tended in the current issue of the
Skipper" the publication Of Co
lumbus University.
Contending that the strikes are
illegal, Elizabeth Fegan demands
that strikers cease ignoring the
court injunctionS. She traces, the
history Of property rights and con-
icludes that they are inalienable.
Taking the opposite side, Irving
fash asks:
"WhOse property"
He maintains that employees,
through years Of service, should
have as much right to physical
property such as factories as do
the employers who originally paid
for it. Law, he contends, is the
rule of human conduct and should
be strapped when discovered to
be an impeachment to social

Voice Of The Legion

The American Legion today is en-
gagged IN It's most intensive drive for
veteran employment in It's history
There may be two very good rea-
scns for this activity: It is fact
that every veteran was not properly
treated at the end of the war, some
having never been absorbed in the
industrial life of the nation, although
nearly twenty years have elapsed
since the dove of peace was presumed
to have lit in our, bailiwiek. Second
", the intense Industrial grind which
has made it extremely hard for the
man of forty to be placed has
brought an unacceptable problem to
the feet of us all.
Veterans of the state of Minne-
sofa and especially Minneapolis have
been fairly successful in holding their
own, as the number of jobs held in
the court house, and city hall, Show
very high average.
why there has never been a
veteran of Baker Post, or for that
matter any of our group, placed and
kept in any positions not held by
Negroes at TIE time Of the battle of

that you are expecting to get.
M S. W.-Please tell me just as
soon as you can if my sister could

doctor Immediately.
A. C. Pr would like to know if
my husband ever intends to live with

worry him about living with you ;.
let him alone altogether and live your
life apart from him. He will get

Dur group, since the dawn Of the new
day, but do take the liberty to con-
denim Baker Post particularly for not
having done all that 1t might have
in ren1edying this situation.
Perhaps the error has been in not
concentrating on just jobs, rather
than specify the white collar end Of
It.
Even in the terrible years of the
depression, probably smaller per-
