SOUTH BLOC BUSY
|ON0WNLABORB|LL
Industry Majorities Could
Ask for Regulation Under
Measure.
b. the Associated Press.

Some Southern Representatives who
played major part in sidetracking
the administrations wage-hour bill at
the special session of Congress dis
closed today they we're drafting q labor
standards bill of their own.
Representative McReynolds, Demo-
crat, Of Tennessee said the new meas
ure might provide a system under
which a majority Of operators in any
one industry would be empowered to
determine whether their standards
needed Federal regulation.
Such regulations, Representative
McReynoids suggested, might be re-
stricted to few major industries, just
as the crop control bill was made to
apply only to selected commodities.
Proponents of wage-hour legislation
also hailed as encouraging the action
of the Southeastern Governors Con-
ference in indorsing the principle OF
legislation intended, in President
Roosevelt's words of last Monday. "to
end starvation wages and intolerable
hours"
Sweatshops Not Wanted.
The Governors, in session here took
space in Washington newspapers ad-
vertising their States advantages, but
warning sweatshop operators they
were not welcome
Friends of the legislation said they
saw another indication that Southern
opposition was dwindling in the VIC
tory Of Representative Lister Hill over
ex-senator Thomas Heflin of Ala
bama. Representative Hill, seeking
the Democratic nomination for the
Senate post formerly held by Justice
Black, advocated wage and hour reg
ulation.
Chairman Norton will call hel
House Labor Committee into session
Wednesday to canvass the situation
The Senate passed a wage-hour bill
last Summer.
Green Asks Fewer Hours.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, which
opposed the bill brought out by the
Norton committee in the special ses.
sion, contributed to the discussion yes.
terday with this statement:
"The shortening of hours Of worl
in industry is an essential prerequisite
to the reduction of unemployment
Legislative action to make effective
this shortening of hours should b<
item number one on the agenda o.
this Congress"
The original House bill proposed
creation of a Federal board empow.
cred to set minimum wages in inter.
state industry up to as high as AZ
cents an hour and to hold the worl
week to as few as 40 hours. Before i
was sent back to committee "for fur.
ther study" the measure had beer
amended to provide a single admin
.istrator within the Labor Department
rather than a board.

NOTICE

To the Members of the Democra-
 tic party of the Seward
 Peninsula:
 At the earnest solicitations of many friends I consented to be- come a candidate for the office of Territorial Representative for the Second Division of Alaska.
 Having been for the past two years a member of the Division Committee for the Second Divi sion, and for some time its acting chairman, after careful consider ation, I am convinced that l can be of greater service to the party as a member of it's divisional com mittee than I could possibly be as a representative in the legisla- ture. I am deeply grateful for the support that has been offered t. me as a candidate for office, but feeling that I can be of great CT service to the cause of demo- cracy in my present position, I have withdrawn as a candidate for the nomination to the office of representative. Dated the 3rd day of March, 1888.

to have merit, will authorize the Supervising Engineer to examine the property. After his examin- ation the Supervising Engineer sends information on the geology, assay value, mining possibilities, transportation, etc, to Washing ton. If from these data it would sesm that the prospect may have a good chance of becoming a pro- ducing mine and there are no legal difficulties, the loan may be granted.
 Pledges Property
 Before receiving the loan the prospector pledges his mining claim Cor claims) to the REC as security. If he has only a lease on the ground he must get his lease-holder to join in the mort gage or agree to waive his royal ty until the REC loan is repaid out of production. No other se- curity than the prospect itself is required.
 The money can be used only for development work. That is, the proSpector may purchase a small compressor and air tools but he may not use this loan to buy milling machinery. If the development proves the eistence of good ore-body he may then apply for a General Loan to build mill.
 Many small placers have been readily financed with local capi- tai, so the. advantages of the REC loans for these mines are not quite as marked as for quartz. However, the owner of a shallow placer may do well to investigate their possibilities, MT. Herbert added
 Where the ground is such that expensive mining machinery such as large dragline plant or dred- ge might be required the Devel- opment Loan may be great help to the prospector or small miner. He may be able to show by eight or 10 holes that he has a promis- ing paystreak. If these hCles can be check sampled by the Super vising Engineer he may get a Development Loan which will pay for a large scale drilling pro- gram. If this development is he may be able to buy a dredge or dragline plant with the proceeds of a General Loan.
 Application blanks may be se- cured from MT. Herbert. He will aid prospectors by giving them more detailed information on the loans and by suggesting sampl- ing methods, but he cannot ex- anime any property unless author ized to do SO by the Washington headquarters of the REC. MT. Herbert, may be reached by let ter at Fairbanks.

ALASkA-l3nd of totem poles
 and the midnight sun-is a coun- try of strange contrasts. It holds
 the desolation of Arctic wastes and the majestic beauty of the Rockies. Winter temperatures hit eighty beloW;in summer huge vegetables are grown. It has the longest and the shortest days. Its population is smaller than any inhabrtable country it's size on earth.
 Alaska is larger than Norway, Sweden, Finland, England, Ire land and Scotland combined; it's coastline measures 26,000 miles. Yet only thirty-four drug stores are listed.
 One of these is the Nome Drug Company of Nome. On the south shore of the Seward Peninsula, Nome was originally known as Anvil City" The town derived its name from Cape Nome which juts out into the ering Sea, first so-caLled on chart dated 1849. CThe name is said to have been a draftSman's mistake for the query "? Name on original chart.
 In 1900, Nome saw the most amazing gold rush in history. It's population mushroomed from few hundred to 10000 in a few weeks. Skyhigh prices for every thing prevailed. What price Tine ture Belladonna and quinine in those days,
 Nome today has 125O people The gold frenzy left established enterprises such as the Nome Drug Company, which caters to the health and not the wealth of the community.

As winter closes in. great ice fields of the Polar Sea push down thru the ring Straits and lcck the city of Nome away from the outside world with tremendous ice foes thirty feet high. Not until late June does the ice recede suffic- iantly to permit outside naviga- tion of Nome. And by October, the last ship is bound south-not to return for nine more months.
