ALASKA AS THE POLITICAL
 BAROMETER

The value of Alaska as a political barometer coming more and more recognized. Ed Fuss teran political writer for the Seattle Post-Inte ncer had chat with James A. Farley when he Seattle recently and makes this interesting e entary on Alaska's political position in the natio ctTe:
 The Democratic national chairman pointed thing of a political barometer, but that 1886 thing of political barometer, but that 1886 results had changed the saying 'As goes Maine. so goes the Union" to As goes Maine, so goes Vermont
 In contrast he pointed out Alaska's Sep tember election in recent years has always pointed the way to national results in Mo- vember And while it is too much to claim that the Alaska vote will continue permanently to be in line with national sentiment, he pointed out that its voting population has much the same background of tradition and aspiration which marks the voters of most of the Western states.
 MT. Farley was not the first to recognize the value of Alaska a political barometer
 AlaSkans recognized it ahead of him and their choice of a September election date was deliberate, in an effort to give the nation the opportunity to learn how the most western portion of Uncle Sans domain feels about political matters at about the same time that it is watching returns from Way down East" in Maine.
 Alaskans got ahead of the rest of the na- ton in 1892 by electng the first two delegates to the Democratic national convention, and instructing them for Roosevelt. The state of Washington, whose leaders had hoped to be at the head of the Roosevelt parade and broke all precedent by staging their state convention in February for this purpose, had to be content with the claim of having the first state dele gation.
 Prior to 1882 Alaska was looked upon as safely Republican Although residents of the Territory have no vote for President they elect their Territorial Legislature and Dele gate to Congress, who introduce bills and speak upon them but cannot vote
 In 1892, in addition to taking the lead in electing Democratic national convention dele gates, voters of the Territory kicked up their heels in a big way. Anthony Dimond, Demo- crat, for delegate, got 9949 votes to $500 for his Republican opponent The Territorial Legislature went Democratic.
 In 1884 Republicans did not put up candi- date against Dimond
 In 1886 the COP felt that a political change might be in the offing and had ticket again. Once more Dimond triumphed with an increased majority, the vote standing 9,665 to 3252
 This year Dimond is rolling up another heavy lead over two opposing candidates, one Republican, the other independent.
 It will take the final returns to show Whtther Democrats are stronger in Alaska this year than in 1892 or 1936-but of the party dominance there can be no question.

FISHERIES
PROTECTING ALASKA FIS
 WORkMEN

Some progress toward eliminating unfair compe- tition against Alaska fishermen made this year with the roundup of large group of alien fishermen in the Bristol Bay But it is evident that there is need to go further toward doing away with dis criminatory tactics against the who work in the Alaska fisheries and it is probable will be subject of considerable discussion at the forthcoming egis latve session in January.
 The American Legion at its recent convention in Ketchkan called attention the discriminatory procedure in a forcefu resolution urging legislative action. The Legion resolution pointed out that con- tracts with fisheries workmen have been made with union groups and associations the Outside with the result that Alaska workmen have to meet the quirements of the Outside groups or be without jobs in the industry
 The Legion resolution put it in these words
 The said contracts and agreements prohibit the employment of bona-fide residents of the Territory ~ of Alaska except however, when the said unions and associations unable to furnish sufficient com K potent employees through their home offices, the firms persons companies and corporations engaged in the said businesses may employ residents of Alaska ' but only those persons who are acceptable to the majority of the members of the union association x working at the packing or reduction plants" s The resolution goes on to state that it has been the policy of the United States and the Territory to encourage the upbuidng of permanent population Alaska, but that such discrimination against Alaska workmen tends to discourage rather than encourage N From the Alaska viewpoint the cart is before the horse in fisheries workmen contracts Instead of agreements being made between the operators and unions the Outside it is Alaska workmen organiza- tions which should dominate the contracts; Alaska groups made up of Alaskans, fishermen and other workmen who live in the Territory and raise their families here
 AS the Legion points out, the present setup is highly discriminatory against Alaskans and it is n- consistent with the avowed policy of both the Federal government and the Territory further permanent Alaska population It should be corrected one of the first steps it appears to us would be for Alaska workmen to solidify themselves into strong Alaska unit with the aim of being the bargaining agency with the industry instead of Seattle and San Fran cisco groups.

This is one of the rarely fortu- nate days in planetary direction, ac- cording to astrology. Benefie as poets rule strongly
 The stars encourage all forms of business enterprise. Merchants and manufacturers, builders and con- tractors should profit under this sway
 Banks and bankers are subject | to planetary influences, making for cooperation. Borrowing should be easier than it has been in recent times.
 Those who seek employment may be disappointed since there is a sign supposed to inspire suspicion or 1 lack of confidence in first meetings between strangers Later, good luck may be assured.
 The rise of new leaders again is 1 prognosticated. In the marts of ] trade and finance young men will guide and in politics success will at tend many who seek their first pub 1 lie office
 l Under this configuration great projects may be launched. The seers prophecy that many Federal experi ments intended to aid the unfortu- nate are to develop along unexpect- ed lines.
 The stars warn that national economies must be practiced with out delay. They presage financial difficulties for the early forties.
 Whatever is progressive in edu- cation or science is under the best aspects. The remainder of the year is to be marked by great advance ment in medicine, engineering building and motion picture inven- tions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of growth in mental outlook and general we'll being. There may be gossip vexing but unimportant in consequences.

tell you the truth, all MT. Ward advised was for the boys to go out and develop game that combined the best features of Budge, Tilden, Vines, Brooks, Larned, Wilding, both Doherty brothers, Cochet, Perry, and Suzanne Lenglen. The boys who achieve this, hinted MT. Ward-not too strongly, mind you, but fairly Strongly-would be watched by the tennis fathers with much inter est" :.
 I think this attitude of the U. S. L. T. A. is mighty fine. Its mem- bers show 8 great spirit when they agree to take time off from their strutting and badge designing to pay attention to young players whose games are scarcely developed past the stage where they could beat any player who ever lived.

 That's a surprising statement isn't it? Almost as surprising, I would say, as one from coal company saying it would hire miners who could mine 200 tones of coal a day, or one from a baseball team saying it would seriously consider engag- ing any player who could guarantee to lead the league in stolen bases, hitting, runs batted in, fielding, and home runs.
 Yet I suppose it is best that the U. s. L. T. A. does demand that the prospects 1t considers must be able to execute all strokes with the perfection of a master. I doubt if the records would show that many men improved very much after they were named for the team. The vast majority of the non-playing cap- tains, in whose hands the coaching of the boys is placed, are fine, up- standing citizens in private life. graced in all the social virtues.

 New Orleans, La, Nov. 17.-(UP) Now that John Donald Budge has turned professional and will play tennis for gold notes instead of sil- yer plate. the United States, Lawn Tennis association must double and re-double its efforts toward the de- velopment of young Davis cup pros poets.
 The dear old U. s. L. T. A. rea1- izeS that with the loss of Budge the American team must have new No. 1 player if it wants to keep the cup on this side of the ocean. The association realizes almost as well as the Australians do that without Budge in the lineup the kangaroo country is almost certain to hijack the international mug next sum- mer.
 On the Hunt I was furnished actual proof that the U. s. L. T. A. is hotter on the trail of new stars than pack of bloodhoundS after a jail-breaker, with the arrival today of U. S. L. T.
