 Committees of other unions are scheduled to confer today in ar effort to iron out wage working conditions.
 Negotiations between the Alas ka Packers and Machinists have not been completed.

cations, that in order to partici- pate in federal grants, immediate action might become necessary for the Territory to assume part of the expense, the responsibility being placed in the hands of the elected representatives of the peo- pie, together with a few appoin- tive ones.
 At the earliest possible mom- ent, upon receipt of the actual bill, The Nome Nugget expects to publish it for the public to di- gest. Alaska has faired we'll un- der the present administration & there is every likelihood that il will continue to do so, providing we stand on our own as much as possible and maintain our view point for the future.

for well-planned projects and de- velopment programs turnout the nation-of it's material wealth & industrial and agricultural possi- bilities.
 AlaSkan's without attempting to assist themselves in the devel- opment of their Territory, are very apt to be left out in the cold with very little federal funds in the future to help expand the natural wealth of the country.
 Alaska is new country, abun- dant in natural wealth and indus tries, which are lying dormant for want of proper development. All true Alaskans are working toward the advancement of their country. They demand from the federal and territorial govern ments, new roads, extension of existing ones, construction of ad- ditional landing fields to provide for aerial transportation of freight and passengers, better schools, hospitals, and other forms of pub lie works, designed to make AL aSka a better country to live in as well as to increase its wealth. They have their eyes on the fu- ture, and to be progressive and develop new country, it needs not the overly-cautious resident, but the pioneer-spirited Alsskan who is working for the future and advancement not only of himself but of his Territory.
 The Federal government in the past has put money into Alaska for hundreds of purposes, believ- ing in Alaska's delegates and peo pie, that this Territory is worth its salt. Any repudiation of that stand brings the Territory to a halt, as without that belief it will most certainly mean that congress can no longer see its way clear to sinking huge funds into a terri tory that cannot assume at least a part of its responsibility in pro- noting development.
 The stand that Alaslian's as a people will have no voice in the bonding of the Territory, we be- lieve is designed only for this emergency, as outlined by Dele gate Dimond in recent communi-

A PROGRESSIVE PROPOSAL

Yesterdays action of the NV. Alaska Chamber of Commerce in disapproving of Delegate Anthony J. Dimond's bill now before Con- gresS, to authorize the Territory of Alaska to bond itself to the extent of S2,O0O,OO0 should it be deemed advisable in the future, brings to mind that if Alaska and this Division wishes to step ahead, be developed and opened Up for new industry, We must first start helping ourselves.
 One of the chief propositions to the present bill, brought forth yesterday, was that it places in the hands of Finance Board, composed of the Territorial Board of Administration, and two others, the ultimate authority of mourning the indebtedness, with out a voice of the people.
 While it proved to be the very basis of the American Revolu- tion-taxation without represen- Acknowledgements often arise when it is more practical and ad- visable to place limited powers in the hands of the pubh's agents. We believe that this Is one of the times when emergency has made necessary the transference tenn porarily of such control.
 One of the huge difficulties in giving this proposed authoriza- ton bill the proper consideration and deliberation which it war rants, is the fact that there is nc copy of the bill in Nome with which to refer. From all infor- nation which has been gathered from various sources, 1t would appear that in order for Alaska to participate in the gigantic na- tional Public Works program now receiving consideration in con- greSs, it will have to stand as any state does today, part of the ex- pense of developing its territory thru the use of federal funds, which will probably be allotted within the next sixty days, shou- Id the appropriation bill pass congress.

Ross 80 Choice to Bedt
Armstrong at Ring Time

ITO get this fight out Of the way
as soon as possible. He has a
contract with the Garden to stage
at least one fight a year at the
Long Island Bowl, but this bout
has begun to be a headache. For
one thing, Jacobs wants to con.
centrate on the Joe LouiS-Max
Schmeling fight which takes place
on June % and there are whispers
that Mike picked the wrong date
for this welterweight scrap.
The odds still favor Ross at 80.
You can get four for your one If
you think Armstrong can win by
a knockout. The Ross supporters
want three for their one if they're
betting Barney wins by a knock
out.
ROSS STRATEGY
The consensus among the fight
crowd Is that Ross will be making
a mistake If he elects to mix it
with Armstrong. Henry can punch
as hard as any welterweight, Is
the general opinion, and Barney
is likely to wind up in some Of
the more remote parts Of Long
Island If he steps into the way
of one of Hanks thunderbolts.
Ross will probably box Armstrong
and therein lies his best chance
Of retaining his title.
Henry isn't the hardest guy in
the world to hit and he's as wide
open as a prairie saloon. That
won't 60 against Ross because
Barney is one Of the real gunners
of the ring in sniping at a target.

breakfast this morning of three

and q couple of glasses Of boiled
milk. In this fight, the challenger
has been faced with the situation
of building himself up, because

The duSIy little challenger said
he considered his weight a bit

he would try to work off a little

HARTFORD, Conn.,, July 10
G.N.S3.-Demooratic opposition

Senators up for reelection, was
disintegratihg today after word

virtual Administration endorse

Work For People

THE truth is that nine out Of
l. ten of the economists in
Washington seek but one end.
That is to make the present eco
nomic system work smoothly
and efficiently and to the ad-
vantage of all of our people. One
hears much about the recently
enacted wage and hour bill and
if one were to believe the state
ments current in many quar-
ters, he could not help but con-
clude that here was one more
attempt on the part of Govern
ment to regiment industry. The
fact is that behind the wage and
hour law lies a single maxim
which dominates Administration
policy: The welfare and profits
of no private business shall in
terfere with the welfare of the
nation as a whole.

The trouble with women is they don't realize
that If they would stick together and fight to-
gether, like the men do, they could really run
this country today. When you consider that rs
per cent Of the money is now in the hands of
women, it makes you appreciate the power they
have, which they are not fully conscious Of.
Some Of the greatest writers in the country are
women, some are great business executives who
are working long and hard. There is only one
field that can think of at the present moment
where there has never been a really outstanding
woman, than have heard of, and that is a
great woman surgeon. asked DR.. Finney one
day why this was and he said: well, Evalyn,
they haven't the physical strength and they have
not yet learned to completely put their personal
feelings aside and, when a desperate operation
faces them, to treat the patient like a block Of
wood. This is the first thing a surgeon must
learn if he is to be successful"

Pirates Often Win

EOR more than $50 years we
l. and other nations have re-
lied on the competitive system
to furnish us with the essentials
of life. We have assumed that
if we we're all free to act on our
own initiative those who can
most effective meet our needs
will come out on top. In the
race for economic supremacy we
have assumed that the victory
would go to the most efficient
producer.
We know only too well that
it is not necessarily those who
produce most efficiently or
those who render the greatest
service to society who secure the
lead in the race for economic
returns. All too frequently the
honorS profits go to those
who can take the greatest ad-
vantage of their fellow men. By
cutting wages, compelling la
Dor to work inhumanly long
hours, many a producer has not
only weathered econom C
storms, but has actually profit
ed from them. And he has uSu-
ally done so at the expense Of
his competitor who has refused
to Stoop to similar tactics. In
too many instances the ability
to sweat ones labor has sup
planted efficiency as the key.
note of business success.
COMPETITION, in short, has
" failed to work in the way we
have assumed it to work. In
stead Of a well-ordered race with
well-defined rules, which enabled
the best man to win, we have
had q chaotic system, in which
the employer with high stand
ards has been forced by unScru-
pulous competitors to adopt poll
cieS detrimental to his workers,
his industry. and society as a
whole. The plane of BUSINESS
morals has too often been forced
