Three NLRB Men
 Arrive; Hearing
 To Be Held 10th
Trial Examiner for Open Sessions Thursday Is
 Martin Raphael

Three members of a National Labor Relations Board arrived in Juneau on the Aleutian today to prepare for hearing to be held beginning Thursday morning in the Senate Chambers of the Federal Building on the question of certi- fication of a bargaining agency for Alaska Juneau mine employees.
 Trial Examiner for the board is Martin Raphael; attorney, Thomas Graham, and reporter, Rolan n d Royse.
 Graham explained that the hear ing should probably take but two or three days, with three courses of action open-to certify a bar gaining group" or to leave the situation as it stands, or hold an election among the workers.
 Four unions are involved, Gra- ham said They are the Juneau Mine and Mill Workers, 203, the Federal Labor Union 2107, Machin- ists' Union, 514, and the Interna- tional B o h hood of Electrical Workers, the first named an af- filiate of CIO and the last three AFL.
 "The certification hearing was petitioned by the Juneau Mine and Mill Workers, who claim a major ity," Graham said
 Raphael, Trail Examiner, said "all interested parties would be heard" and that if an election is necessary, records would have to be studied in Washington, and probably two or three NLRB men would be sent up to supervise the electon.
 "If an election is held, it prob ably wouldn't be held for several weeks" Graham said.
 Both Raphae and Graham brought their wives and Royse brought his mother. All are guests at the Gastineau Hotel.

Assistant Attorney Geneml,
 Fighting Trusts, Says Problem
 No,c No Longer Merely Moral
By THURMAN ARNOLD Assistant Attorney General in Charge of Antitrust Division is Guest CoIumnist for Preston Grover, on Vacation.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Forty years ago the Federal Government launched an effort to halt harmful monopoly and price fixing by small groups and the concentration of wealth and power in few hands.
 It has been a popular effort but despite a government religion of ficially dedicated to the economic independence of individuals, the growth of great organizations in America has been amazing. The reason is that we have been try ing to police the industrial activi- ties of America with a corporal's guard.
 The scope of the problem is in- dicated in internal revenue statls- tics for 1885 which show that over 50 percent of all net corporate in- comes is earned by less than one tenth of one percent of the cor porations reporting, and 84 per cent of the aggregate corporate net profits is earned by less than 4 percent of the corporation report ing
 Today that 40-year effort must be directed on a new tack. We can no longer treat the antitrust laws as moral problem. They are being employed as far as their ca pacity will permit to bring prac- tical results in restoring com petitive market which in many fields has been lost.
 The problem then is to define the public responsibility of such organizations and to determine which are efficient combinations for mass production and which are instruments arbitrarily assessing inflexible prices after achieving monopoly.
 This determination may be made only after a factual investigation. Once that investigation discloses to us the existence of harmful monopolistic condition within an in dustry, the corrective process under the antitrust laws begins.

VOTING RUNNING
 ABOUT HALF OF TWO YEARS AGO
Less than 50 Per Cent of 1886 Total Cast Up to
 Mid Afternoon

Less than 50 percent of the total vote cast in the three Juneau pre- cincts in the last general election of 1886 had been cast at o'clock this afternoon in today's general election. Two years ago the Juneau precincts mustered 1,505 votes. At mid afternoon today the total vote for the three precincts stood at 708. Of this number, Precinct No. l had 375, No. 2, POP; and No. B. 131
 There is expected to be a speed up in the voting during the late afternoon and evening until the polls close at o'clock, but substan- tial increase is needed if this years vote in Juneau is to match that of 1886.
 Precinct No. 2 showed the best promise of equalling the 1886 mark. It had cast POP votes at o'clock against 482 total of two years ago. No. Is 375 compared with TAB and No. 3's 131 compared with 280 total at the last general election.
 Cars were being put at the dis posal of voters of the various poli- tical camps during the day in the hope of getting as many to the polls as possible but generally through out the city interest in the election was mild.
 Practically no betting was report ed. Some Dimond supporters were offering bets that the Delegate would poll larger Territorial vote than his two opponents combined and there were few wagers that White would poll more votes than Grigsby. General forecast was for a heavy Democratic victory.

SIGNS OF RECOVERY

At the moment, business news is extremely important, and will re- main so through the fall. For busi- ness news between now and Christ mas may reflect the success or fail ure of the New Deals latest four billion dollars worth of pump priming. The success or failure of this particular chunk of pump priming may well mark the rebirth or the death rattle for President Roosevelts New Deal.
 It's a coincidence that the drama of politics and business is playing out the third act, so far as the President is concerned, on the an- niversary of the current depres- sion. It was just year ago, in September, that the bottom fell out of the New Deals prosperity.
 But for 12 weeks there have been multiplying signs of recovery if one discounts the war scare that gave market prices tumble. New Dealers will tell you that pump priming is taking hold again. Anti New Dealers will tell you that prosperity is not here yet, and mo- body's sure it is coming Pros say we're in for a long, steady pull up- ward for three or four years. Ants say if we do get prosperity, it will be in spite of the administration.
 So you will have to decide for yourself.

Roosevelt Defeated in At- tempt to Unseat Sem
 ator Tn Primary
DEMOCRATS LOSE IN
 MAINE ELECTION
Presiden $ Endorsement Will Be Put to Test Again
 in Georgia Tomorrow
(By Associated Press)

Democrats lost their fight to un- seat four Republican officials in Maine yesterday and the Roosevelt administration was beaten in an at tempt to defeat Senator Willard E. Tydings in Maryland.
 In the years first election, Maine voters gave clear cut majori- ties to Gov Lewis O. Barrow and Representative James O. Oliver, Clyde H. Smith and Ralph O. Brew ster. New Dealers were diSheartened by the lead Tydings had gained in the Maryland Democratic primary. The 48-year-old Senator, who Roo sevelt denounced as a betrayer of the New Deal was far ahead of Representative David J. Lewis.
 Georgians watched the Maryland race for a bearing it might have on it's own primary tomorrow in which Senator Walter F. George, also seeking renomination over the Pres ident' $ opposition, is running against Lawrence s. Camp, Roose- velt's choice.
 Former Gov. Eugene Talmadge and William c. McRae, backed by the Townsend pension advocates, withdrew last night and gave their support to Camp.
 Voters in Arizona, Colorado, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont and Washington were picking senatorial candidates today In none of these states is the New Deal an issue.

FURTHER RETURNS SHOW
 LANDSLIDE VICTORY

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 13. = Mounting returns in Maryland's hotly contested primary indicated a victory of landslide proportions for Senator Tydings over Represen- tative Lewis. Unofficial returns with some counties incomplete gave Tyd- ings IF of the states 149 nominat- ing convention votes with 32 for Lewis, giving the Senator clear majority in the convention which will nominate the Democratic sena- torial candidate.
 Lewis led his home county of Cumberland by narrow margin of seven votes.
 The popular vote in 7089 pre- cincts out of 12,088 gave Tydings 119,000 and Lewis BLOOD.

 Signs of Recouery Sh0Umg 2
By MORGAN M. BEATTY
 AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - If your pocketbook is more interesting to you than wars and rumors of war, or purges and rumors of purge skip the front page and turn for while to the financial section
 Pick out the headlines that tell the dramatic story of what is hap pening in the business world, if you would know what lies ahead for you and your family.
 Or if you're bug on politics, right now the financial pages will come closer than your congress man to telling you what happens next.
 For business news mirrors the condition of the country, and it's a political axiom that the fate of Presidents is decided by the con- dition of the country-and not by the principles they stand for.
 Certainly it is true that Presi- dents in the past have not survived big depressions that begin while they're in office and last through election day.
 President Roosevelt and his enemies, the Republicans, are, therefore, deeply interested in how many times you visit the movies, ubetbar vOll buv new ear how many silk stockings your wife buys, and how many cigarets you smoke. For all these things are straws in the business wind, far more important than congressional hearings on the price of peanuts, or what-have-you.
