Total Precipitation Reaches 103.58 Inches-20.8o
 Inches Over Average

Despite the fact ts.a: the weather during the summer months of 1856 n Juneau was unusually pleasant, with precipitation below the normal and temperature and percentage Of possible sunshine above normal, yet the course of the years record for 1886, Juneau had the second wettest year on record since wealth CT records began here, covering a period of 43 years, according to the U. S. Weather Bureau annual report prepared by Howard J. Thompson Meteorologist.
 The total precipitation (rain, melted snow, sleet, and haiD receiv- ed in the Weather Bureaus rain gauge on the roof of the Federal and Territorial Building during the year amounted to 10358 inches, or 20.89 inches above the average. The great est annual precipitation on record for Juneau over the 43year period was in 1917, when 106.52 inches was recorded The maximum depth of snow on the ground in the vicinity of the Weather Bureau office dur ing the year was 220 inches on February 28-29 The total snow- fall (unmelted) for the year was

UNEMPLOYMENT
 REPORT ISSUED BY JUNE C. c.
(Contlnued from Page One>

stated they had taken out first pa- pers. These men have averaged 15 years and 8 months in Alaska; many of them have had additional U. s. residence in the States. Thirty seven aliens stated their length of residence in the Territory, and their average was II years and 2 months. The conclusion to be drawn from these figures is that these men ap- parently have no intention of be- coming citizens. They desire to share in the advantages enjoyed by citizen, at least to the etxent that they want relief, but they do not wish to have any of the responsi- bilities of a citizen.
 During the last 5wo years Juneau has had its share of labor trouble. Many persons have expressed their belief that most of this trouble has come from aliens. The unemployed lists showed g who are known as the men who have been at the bot tom of most of Juneau's labor un- rest; most of Nhem are agitating more trouble here now. Of these 22, IS are aliens. Local residents should definitely oppose giving any form of relief to the aliens on the unemployed list who have had an opportunity to become citizens of the United States and have not done so. If they desire to become good Amer ican citizens, they should be helped 1; those who wish to continue labor agitation should be deported.
 Without doubt there are a num- Der of white citizens on this list of unemployed who are entitled to and should receive relief as soon as pos sible.
 Assuming that some of the unem- ployed were receiving or had re- reived employment on the docks in Juneau, a checkup was made to de- termine how many had done long shore work during the last few including longshoring of chartered ships. As realy as could be determined, 37 have received some longshore work. Of these 37, 2l are aliens. Local
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-01-14

maritime unions and all other un- ions should be encouraged to give preference not to aliens but to citi- zenS. The men who are citizens have accepted responsibility not accepted by the aliens, and as a re- suit are entitled to preference for jobs It is the duty of local unions to realize this important matter.
 AS shown in figures previously in this report, there are some un- employed who are not entitled to relief. Bona fide unemployed should clean their lists of the undeserving, compile complete data on the un- employed who are honestly in need of work and are unemployed through no fault of their own, and submit this list to the various of fees handling relief funds.
 One man on the unemployed list, a white citizen, recently made a trip to Seattle in the interests of union labor. This particular man is one of the most active labor agi- tators in the Territory, and has been at the bottom of good deal of local labor disturbance. Relief funds should be administered in a manner that will not assist in the continu- ance of radical labor agitation.
 Local resiSa,..s who make a living from longshoring had an excellent opportunity to make some money when the M. s. Northland was in Juneau on it's last trip. With no attempt to take sides, on maritime strike issues, the facts are that the ship was loaded with the permis- sion of Seattle unions, that Juneau business men were informed that their freight would be unloaded when it arrived in Juneau, and that when it arrived the local longshore- men refused to unload the North land.
 In conclusion, the existing agencies handling relief are doing their best to conduct expenditures as efficient ly as possible in view of restrictions and regulations placed upon them. The present unemployment condi- lions in Juneau do not warrant any blanket request for relief funds, when considered in connection with the personnel of the two groups requesting relief through the Gov ernor's office.
 In considering this report, it should be emphasized that there are certain number of local resi- dents needing and deserving relief, just as there are certain number of unemployed who either do not need relief, or do not deserve it, or both
