FRIDAY, DECEMBER g. 1888

FRIDAY, DECEMBER g, 1888
 Although sinister aspects rule the early morning this day should be fairly fortunate, according to as trology. III omens attend labor and seems to presage serious conflicts.
 Aged persons should guard their health. Colds will assume odd symp- toms and pneumonia will be extra ordinarily prevalent.
 The evening is suspicious for par ties and dances. Young folk are well directed by the stars.
 Theaters should prosper, and young talent may be especially lucky this season.
 Naval officers are fortunate under this configuration which presages promotions. New warships will com mand world attention in 1889.
 Great Britain may suffer severe tests of statesmanship and military resourcefulness. France and Rus sia will be friendly through perilous times, to which Palestine will add many problems.
 France is to have a critical year in which there may be much mob hysteria as economic problems in- crease.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changing fortunes. Journeys inspired by sen- timent may be taken Loss through relatives or associates is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be imaginative, talented and industrious Subjects of this sign use their brains to good ad- vantage.
 Harland H. Allen. economist, was born on this day 1888. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday in- clude John Milton, poet, 1908: Elm ma Abbott, singer, 1850.

SETH EVENT OF LABOR DISPUTE
 LOOMS HERE

Just what final action the City Council will take on the proposed anti-picketing ordinance which business men of this community have demanded it pass remains to be seen. So far it has taken no action pending the outcome or efforts which now being put forward by John O'Connor representative of the Department Labor who is here for the express purpose of endeavoring to reach settlement of the labor dispute in the building industry.
 It is probably fortunate that MT OConnor ar rived here when he did as local forces which were attempting to bring about solution powerless An Outside man particularly who comes directly from the government department which has to do with labor and with just such disputes the present one here and without any of the antagonism which is bound to show against any local individual is in
 position to get lot further toward ironing out the trouble than any resident of this community. It is to be hoped that all contesting factions will cooperate with him fully lay their cards the table and get W this unhappy situation settled peaceably
 In the meantime the proposed anti-picketng ordinance which has been presented to the Council is
 matter for thorough consideration Its general legal
 ty is a disputed point only among the best legal minds in Juneau but the courts of the land which have yet to pass it. The members of the Council, none of whom attorneys or jurists are entitled to get the best advice they obtain before action on such an ordinance Similar ordinances have been passed in cities the States, but far no definite decision has been handed down by high court. ss Regardless of what ones personal feelings may be regarding the labor trouble which has stirred this . community. it is only good sense to approach the r problem inteLigenty and avoid acting rashly when n there is still opportunity to arrive at solution through the Department of Labor.

LIZARD GETS SPIDER, CAT
 GETS LIZARD

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 8.-A mor- tai enemy of the black widow spider and her eggs has been found by Dr. Raymond B. Cowles of the University of California at Los An geles. It is local lizard, known popularly as the alligator lizard.
 Harmless to human beings, the lizard has been successfully used in Dr. CoWles' own home to elimi- nate the poisonous spiders. There's only one catch to the arrangement while the lizards prey on the spiders, the common house cat preys on the lizards.

In the beginning Of their visits
they promise few select first families

tise the SGT, and VIC need only to speak
a good word for it to later victims
who arc to pay the list price Of $l49.
and who to be referred to laud-
atory lottor VIC are to write.
However,, fit teon minutes along in
the interview it develops that there
is to be revision service Of one extra
volume year for ton years. And Of
course, well want that Service, and
they'll give it to US at the special
rate Of 800. In fact, before they'll
give us the original set of ton books
FREQ, VIC must dcmonst rato our sincerity
by ordering the revisi ion service and
paying for it $3.50 per month for two
years. Thcv also throw in a Century

1t amounts to this: We arc to pay

treatment, continued their strike
today.
Their only concession thus far
was an agreement to meet with
the county Medical Society to dis.
cuss their grievances.
Meanwhile, Miss Ruth Clyburn,
supervisor, whose dismissal the
striking nurses demanded, asked
the sheriff to find the person who
drove an ice pick through all the
tires of her car, parked in front
of the hospital.
Absolving the strikers, the sheriff
blamed the tire puncturing on
someone employed at the hos
pital. The nurses denied any
knowledge of it.
Among other demands the Strik-
ing nurses wanted their wages in.
creased from $50 month. They
complained of discrimination in
assignment Of nurses to well-pay-
ing private cases; asked for en-
rollment of more student nurses
and protested being on call night

They insisted none of the IA

''Make q bonfire of these old

about 100 spokesmen of the auto
mobile industry, police officials
and citizens at a mass meeting in

served from March S to March IL.
Shively's scheme met opposition
from a spokesman of the Lions
Club, who contended burning and

tion."
AID is PLEDGED
Il. j. Murphy, manager of the
Washington Automotive Trade AS
ISOLATION, who presided at the
meeting with Commissioner Mel
vim c. Hazen and District Auditor
Daniel j. Donovan, pledged the CO.
operation of local dealers affili-
ated with his organization, and
declared.
"If we can get 200 old auto
mobiles off the streets, it will
help immeasurably the traffic
problem from a safety angle"
Murphy assured the conference
that local dealers are willing to
junk some 200 automobiles which
otherwise might be sold to ir-
responsible boys at from $40 to $50
apiece.
ASK PROCLAMATION
After various proposals for nell
grafton of the traffic problem
created by faulty equipped auto
mobiles had been considered, Muir
ply adjourned the conference with
a request the Commissioners desig-
nate officially the week of March
S to IL as National Used Car Elk
change Week."
Hazen, who had placed himself
on record already as favoring the
elimination of what the dealers
referred to as Junk" promised
early consideration of Murphy's
request.
National used car exchange
week will be celebrated in every
city in the United States. The
basic idea is to bring the automo-
bile industry out Of the recession
and at the same time improve traf,
fic conditions by taking death
trap" cars off the streets.
