Wage-HOur Lalu Doesn't
Seem to affect Tpping
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Anyone
hopeful Cor fearful that tipping
would be ended by the wage-hour
act can abandon the idea. The act
doesn't seem to reach into the zone
of the tip-gathering help unless a
person spends his time mostly rid
ing on trains or getting on and off
them.
The act doesn't apply to en-
ployees working for outfits "the
greater part Of whose selling or
servicing is in interstate COM
merce." That exempts bell boys in
hotels, elevator operators, walters
in cafes and even hat check girls.
At the time we are writing this
the case hasn't been decided as to
whether messenger boys are in in
terstate commerce enough to come
under the act But we asked one of
Western Unions brightest and best
and he said his tips didn't amount
to more than dollar "a month. That
is fairly small rate of tipping.

NO COMMENT

Alaska officials declined to be
quoted on the Buckley suggestion
of sending German refugees to this
Territory but pointed out the seri-
Gus question of assimilating such
immigrants into life of Alaska due
to limited vacations in the north
and means of making livelihood.
There is no need for further
stores, business houses until further
resources are developed, they
stressed, and agricultural activity is
limited due to climatic conditions
and general nature of the country.
One official said some excellent
Jewish people are living in Alaska,
many of pioneer stock, making ex-
cellent citizens and important force
in the development of the Territory,
and Alaska might well welcome
small numbers of like individuals,
but the most serious problem which
must be considered is the means of
a livelihood for persons coming
north regardless of nationality.
On this premise, officials question
seriously the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
any large number of refugees here.

29L|CENSES|SSU
FOR EXPORT OF TIN
Months Figures on Scrap
Provoke Discussion on
Capitol Hill.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The State Department announced
yesterday that 20 licenses were issued
In the month OF January for the ex-
port of scrap tin" All have bSen
granted to exporters to Japan, which
is the only country interested in that
type of scrap. The amount exported
is 2,306 long tons valued at $685.
00045.
Since the national defense plans
demand the use of larger quantity
OF tin than is available in the coun-
try. astonishment was voiced in Ger
tain congressional quarters as to why
the State Department continues to
issue such licenses when this coun-
try must buy tin abroad.
High official quarters explained that
the State Department does not in
tend to curtail the licenses issued be-
cause the scrap tin plates exported
contain negligible quantity Of actual
tin. The Japanese importers are in
terested in the purchase Of tin"
cans because of the high-grade steel
used in their manufacture. To them
it is the same as buying scrap steel.
The steel is being separated from the
relatively small quantity of tin, which
is used by the japanese silk manu-
facturers for loading" low grades of
silk
The War Department has been en-
deavoring to obtain from the State
Department curtailment of the
licenses, not because Of the tin extract
ed from the scrap, but to keep busy a
number of de-tinning plants in the
United States, which have but little
work in time of peace.
These plants are important in war
time. In the event of such an emer-
gency they will have to be quickly or
ganized. The War Department is Of
the opinion that if they were kept busy
in time of peace with a comparatively
small amount of scrap it would have q
number of factories ready for work.
