Juneau's Fair Name Is Saved by Horse

 Though his name is unknown and he has not as yet been re- named, Dicks successor at the Lum- Der Mills, has already proved him. self to be most affectionate sort of animal Given a chance, he will diligently search the pockets of bystanders, in quest of candy, su- gar, or other tid-bits.
 In time, Esquine-X may succeed not only to Old Dicks duties as toter of lumber, but to his prede- cessor's place of esteem among Ju- neau residents.

IS CONSIDERING
 LABOR LAWS
Standards Would Be Fixed After Industry Given
 Wide Hearings
BOARD TO FORMULATE
 WAGE, HOUR STANDARD
Aim e d at Elimination of Sweatshop Conditions
 Abolition, Child Labor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Unim- peachable authorities said today that President Roosevelt is con- sidering a flexible program to out- law low wages and long hours through revisions of fair trade prac- tice and antitrust laws.
 The system would provide broads system of voluntary agreements un- der which business men would ban unfair and wasteful practices.
 Congress would make it viola tion under the Interstate Commerce. for industries to pay low wages and work employees long hours.
 A board would be established to formulate wage and hour standards for each industry, and would pro- bably be attached to the present Federal Trade Commission.
 Wage and hour standards would be fixed after industry had been given wide hearings. much as the old MIRA codes were drafted.
 Regulations, however, would be limited to wages and hours. Labor standards, officials said, would be aimed entirely at the elimination of sweatshop conditions among minimum standards and the aboli- ton of child labor.

MEASURE ON
 TRANSPORTING
 PUPILS KILLED
Bill to Be Reconsidered- Many Minor Matters Dis
 posed of by House

With the procedure in high gear and the measures of such nature that little discussion was desired, the Territorial House this morning rushed 13 bills and memorials through for final passage this morning and defeated two others, notice of reconsideration being giv- en in both instances so that both lost measures will be up for an- other vote on Tuesday, no regular business being done Monday due to the Washington's birthday holi- day.
 The bills defeated by an eight and eight division of the House were House Bill 47 which would repeal the section of the existing law requiring the Territory to pro- vide transportation for school chil- dren living a distance from estab- lished schools, and House Bill 42, which provides that claims against municipal corporations must be fil- ed within 30 days after the time when such claim for damages oc- cured. Both are request bills. Vic- tor Ross of the Fourth gave mo- tice of reconsideration on the next working day of House Bill 42 and Dan Green of House Bill AT, having voted on the prevailing side.
 Commissioner A. E. Karnes was called in the discussion of the bill on school transportation, the major reason advanced by the Board of Education previously for repeating the law being the Matanuska col only where the expense of trans portation of school children is run ming far ahead of any figure the Territory anticipated. The Commis- sioner was questioned as to the dis tricts it would effect other than Matanuska and he explained Ju- neau and Ketchikan were the only ones at the present time. It was possible, he said, if the bill for set up of school districts outside of in- corporated towns, was passed that it. would be necessary to build two or three schools outside of Juneau to accommodate the children in the
