EAR MARKING TALKED

WASHINGTON, April %. (UP)
The house labor committee today
favorably reported a bill to estab-
lish q 40-cents-an.hour wage for
a 40-hour maximum work week,
and urged its enactment to pre-
clude wage cuts and deflation.
The law would establish a wage
floor and hour ceiling within
three years on an escalator basis.
The bill was drafted after
months Of struggle within the
committee.
Initially the measure would es-
tablish 25-cents-an-hour wage and
44-hour week, gradually revising
these standards to reach the ulti-
mate "40.40" goal.
The report warned that If the
deflation spiral Is allowed to gath
err sufficient strength 1t "may
threaten the foundations Of the
government ITSELF" It added that
relief demands on federal and
state governments will continue
unless private employers pay
wages sufficient to cover at least
the bare cost Of living.

A Jewish lawyer yesterday won
acquittal for a Nazi in the court

nights riot between 100 American
Legionnaires and 1000 Nazi men,

Rund, who met in a Yorkville hall
to celebrate Adolf Hitler's 49th
birthday.
at could only happen here" OBJ
served Magistrate Matthew Troy.
On trial was Otto Geisler, Ger
man citizen and member of the
Bund who was accused of carry
ing a concealed weapon-a trench
knife in a scabbard which dangled
from the belt of his Storm Troop
er uniform.
Geisler, still in uniform as he
stood before the magistrate, said
he had no lawyer. The magistrate,
himself a war veteran, appointed
Joseph Ellison, a Jew, to defend
him.
Assistant District Attorney Abra-
ham Poretz commended that Geisler
intended to use the knife, which
carried a six-inch blade, in the
riot which resulted from Legion
naire protests against the exclu-
sive use of German by speakers.
Nine were injured and four ar
rested in the resultant clash.
Lawyer Ellison denied his client
had intended to use the knife and
challenged Poretz to prove his as
sertion. The arresting policeman
Richard Collins, said the knife was
in its sheath. Furthermore, Eli
son said, the Nazi youth, three
years in this country, had a right
to carry the knife as part of his
uniform.
"Bov Scouts wear knives" he
pointed out with a wave toward
his sheepish client.
"a strange situation confronts
me here" Magistrate Troy observ-
ed in finding the defendant not
guilty. 81 do not believe it could
be presented anywhere in the
world except in America. Here we
have this German boy defended by
a Jewish lawyer appearing before
an American war veteran.
"This situation in an American
court proves the worthwhileness OF
Americanism, a fair application of
the law to all defendants regard

NEW PEOPLE BLOCKING

So many new people are in and about Homer that it isn't easy to keep track of the newcomers, Pearl Christensen, seldoyia High School graduate told the Gateway while in Seward on the way to Fairbanks to enter the University of Alaska
 Miss Pearl lives at Homer. Mrs. Joyce Christensen her mother hay ing recently proved up on the fam fly homestead. They are there to stay, and from all indications will have plenty Of company.
 Much interest is shown in the building of the Homer site dock and all that remains to be done is the decking. The Murphy mill at Sell doyia is turning out this material and there is promise Of early delivery when the job will be rushed to com pletion.
 The bigger transportation com papies are inquiring about the time when the dock will be finished and ready for business, indicating that landings are contemplated. A five mile road now underway, leads from the dock to the community proper. In addition there is a road that ad- equately. covers the flat farmland area, so that automobiles are get ting to be the common thing at Homer.
 Just now the Homer people are interested In the planned colony of Alaskan families purported to be getting ready for Cook inlet settle ment. At first the story was not taken seriously but the people seem assured that the big cooperative set clement is going through and are looking forward to having pOpula- tion Of the district jumped into the bigger brackets.
 Miss Christensen is the youngest member of the Homer Woman's Club, and as news reporter for the club has had a lot to do with send ing out the right kind of publicity of the famous agricultural, fishing and coal bearing district.

town Of Wrangell and all it has to do with the future of this road has been ignored. But as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, just as surely will Wrangell rise to take the spotlight of importance in con- neetion with this Canadian Alaska Pacific Highway. For such it can be called, since 1t covers more distance in Canada than there is to be creat- ed in Alaska itself.
 And in conclusion, here is more food for thought; what about the price of gas, say on the Mass Sum nit? What price what-nots? Big game hunters, prospeetors, mining engineers, utility in case of war, yes; But for tourists? For our grandchildren. yes; but not for us. There will be for Us, however, the beginning of a new and brighter era. And an entrance to a new and highly mineralized district. Also contacts. so vital to all mining men, will undoubtedly be made available through this new channel of trade. At any rate, Old Wrangell, you will have profited gloriously on the birth of a new lifeline connecting two great countries, it's benefits to mankind being so far reaching as to be almost incalculable.

the presses the must flows direct
ly into reservoirs from which it is
drawn off into watts. After standing
for several hours, until it is COM
paratively clear, it is transferred
to casks in which it is stored until
fermentation takes place. At the
beginning of the following year, the
wine is racked off and fined, when
it is ready for blending, that is,
combining various vintages until
the proper quality and flavor are OBJ
tanned. At this stage the wine is
also tested for sugar strength, for
its effervescence depends on the
amount of sugar contained in the
wine before secondary fermenta-
ton. .r
The possibility Of rendering cham
payne effervescent was discovered
accidentally by Dom Perignon, a
Benedictine monk, in the Seven
teenth century. If too much sugar
is added, too much gas will form,
with too great bottle breakage; too
little sugar will not give sufficient
sparkle. The blended wine then is
bottled and undergoes this second
process Of fermentation, which con-
verts the sugar into alcohol and car
bonic acid, causing effervescence.
In spite of the care which usually
is taken, the loss from bottle break
age usually is about 10 per cent.

Minneapolis Plans
Inter-Racial Week
February 1920

Numerous representatives from
various civic and social organiza-
tons, the Minneapolis Church Fed
Grafton, and the Inter Racial Com
mittee of the Urban League met at
the Minneapolis Y. w. C. A. on
Wednesday afternoon, January &c,
to map plans for the observance of
Inter-Racial Week in Minneapolis,
February 18th through the goth.
The observance is sponsored ma
tionally by the Department of Race
Relations, Federal Council of
Churches.
Rabbi Albert G. Minda, chairman
of the Inter- Racial Committee, pre-
sided at the meeting.
A unanimous opinion was felt
that the attempt at inter-racial
harmony and goodwill should not
be confined to single weeks OBJ
servance but rather these oppor-
tunities should be made by per
manently functioning Inter-Racial
Committee that could carry on the
work the year around.
Miss Charlotte Crump, repre-
senting the University Y. w. C. A.,
briefly sketched a tentative pro-
gram which would be practical in
reaching a large number of the
University students. Miss Jane
Bradley, University Y. W. C. A.
head, promised Miss Crump every
cooperation in any proposed pro-
gram that she might undertake.
