mittee tonight to go over the ordin ance, the Mayor said.
 Resent Force" Methods
 Members of the Council expressed the sentiment that they were not going to be forced" into passing Eany ordinance without studying it and finding out what it was about
 Similar sentiment was expressed by City Attorney Grover Winn last night at the so-called indignation meeting. Protesting the pressure being brought on the Councilmen, EWinn labeled as unfair the demand that the Council pass the ordinance without even seeing it. He pointed out that the only time the Council men had ever heard of the ordin- ance was hearing it read last night iby R. E. Robertson, its author, at the mass assemblage.
 The ordinance, containing IF sec- tions and covering three long pages, in brief would declare an emergency and prohibit picketing, It's preamble reads:
 | , Bans Picketing
 An ordinance to alleviate the re- lief situation existing in Juneau, and to regulate the shipping in and out of, and the loading and unload ling of. freight at the City Dock and other wharveS in Juneau, and to re- duce the unemployment in Juneau, and to regulate the conduct of picketing therein, and to provide for a license therefor. and declaring an emergency and prohibiting all 1 picketing during such emergency" The proposed ordinance goes on to say that there are many unemployed men in the community who are will ing to work but can not do so be- cause of the picketing. It recognizes the right of men to work for or to refuse to accept work from any par ticular employer and the right to establish and maintain pickets in a peaceable manner and to picket the premises of an employer whose present or former employees are in volved in a bona fide labor contro- versy with him." but it declares ''picketing is subordinate to the rights of the people to receive fooe

DEER HERDER OF NIkETIES
 VISITS JUNEAU
Smiling Eyed and Bandy. Legged Lap Says Ju-
 neau Some Town

When PAA's shining twin motored Electra swept down the runway at Mendenhall Airport yes 1 terday and taXied to stop before the airport offices, a bandy legged little Laplander jumped nimbly to earth in his parka and mukluks to turn the clock back to the wonder some nineties for those who have read or remember.
 The little man was another '98 arrival, "72 years my age" but un- like most figures associated with that often mentioned year of gold rush, times, he was not the typical Alaska oldtimer of rush days.
 His name is J. Rauna, little Lap- lander who sometime, 1890, some- thing" came to North America and Alaska with one of the first rein- deer herds brought to the North land in an experiment by the United States Government to determine whether or not such animal hus- bandry introduced would give the Eskimo a meat supply and voca- ton.
 That first herd came over in 1892 and by 1902, 1,280 animals had been brought from distant Lapland to tundras north of Nome. Laplander herderS were sent with the rein- deer to teach the Eskimos and the Alaskan white men reindeer han ding. ct 4
 Bit Bewildered
 Rauna does not speak English we'll and he was a bit bewildered yesterday in Juneau Even though perhaps he understands that his Lapland reindeer he grew up with have become paWns in confusing game of politics in Washington, D. C.. yesterday he was only looking forward to seeing his new home in Sitka at the Pioneers Home.
 He scratched his thatch of shin ing black hair and his thin lips set i in wizened Mongolian features twitched the beginning of smile of amusement that finished with a bright twinkle in his small dark eyes. Ha4t.
 some townl" he giggled in sur priSing American slang. ~ In the summers, Rauna worked for the Kiwalik Dredging Company at Candle and in the winters he has been herding Lomen reindeer Juneau is the biggest city he has seen in over forty years. His trip from Kotzebue to Juneau was en- tirely by plane, his first time in the air.
 Some thingl" he grinned openly in thusat 12r- in that surprising 1888 slang at tempt again when asked how he liked his only airplane ride.
 His poor English, his reindeer herder's clothing of the Arctic, and his lively bowlegged walk brought smiles to those who saw him on the street, but to those who saw deeper and visioned the part this strange Lap had played in Alaska's devel- cpment, the smiles were tempered With deep respect for hardy race that gave Alaska something in which the receiving parties have forgotten the giving.
 Rauna boarded the Northland for Sitka and to the Territory. it seems unusually fitting that this herder Of Lapland deer should be given place of comfort for his declining years in the Pioneers Home.

HERE AND THERE
By Henry Little
February 8, 1888

Although it is neither original nor
nice to compare the nations to q gang Of
boys, yet in speaking Of Italy's recent
uncondition wi thdrowal from the League
Of Nations one is certainly invited to
such q compari son. Mus solini's action is
tantemount to that Of the bully who de-
clares: "If you won't play my wey I'm
going home and play by myself"
And perhaps this would not be such
bad idea Of llusso1ini' had to play by him
self but it happens thet he has two play
fellows equally as nasty Italy, Japan
and Germany busy forming gang
all by themselves, and what a bunch Of
roughnecks they are! There won't be an
unbroken window in the neighborhood when
they are finished.
This newly organized gang declares
that it is out to make the world safe
from Communi sm, and its members find
Communi SIN in the strangest places: for
instance, how serious do you suppose the
"Red Menace" was in Ethiopia few years
back before Mussolini made it red with
blood Of slaughtered innocents?
Hearkening back to Troy, wishes
that someone would bring in wooden
horse in Spain. This bloody and long
dram-out civil war continues apace
dragging on into a second year with no
sign Of approaching settlement. One
would think that a starvation mi ght
be expected to humble both sides in
poverty stricken country where the common
occupation is homicide. But whereas
shortage Of food is prevalent, third
Of the people 60 on about their
business sowing and reaping in the thick
CT the storm. And then there is always
help from interested foreign parties.
Germany and Italy, however, are said to
be doing their bit gratis whereas Prussia i,
the side Of the people, demands pay
ment. England is still undecided, and
meanwhi lie English traders, as Of old,
follow the principle that one mans
money is good another's.

Firemen said the flames did little
damage, but the heat and smoke

MANY NEGROES COVERED FOR

Many thousands OF Negroes
N Region Five of The SOCIAL Secur-
ity Board are now covered for old
age insurance.
This region, which has its head
quarters in Cleveland, includes the
ates Of Kentucky, Michigan, and
Giiio. Early this year tie Soeial
Security Board made a study Of
100000 applications for social
security account numbers which had
haen filed in the country as whole.
OF these snI lications, l25,s6l or
1915 percent were filed BY Negroes.
Aaturaa y the percentage i'll the
ltheln states was somewhat larger
than in the north.
The following table shows tie
number Of Negro applicants for
social security account numbers Ill
each Of the states in Region Five
out of total Of approximately
10000 applications which were
studied early this year. These ap-
plications were fled from January
to March inclusive in the various
states. The figures follow:

There is no distinction between
races in the Social Security Act.
The benefits which are paid under
old-age insurance are based entirely
on the earnings of workers employ

The worker who is covered by
old-age insurance contributes one
percent Of his wages each time he
IS paid. His employer pays this

Periodic New Models
Important To Growth
Of Auto Industry

NEW YORK-The automobile in
dustry practice Of periodic new
models has been an important fac
tor in the prosperity and growth of
this business, and has resulted in a
broadening Of car ownership III this
country and consequent creation
of employment.
This analysis was contained in a
bulletin sent by General Motors to
employees recently pointing out why
this procedure of the industry is
such a vital factor in its progress.
About one-third of the automobiles
bought each year, it was pointed
out, are new cars, while the other
two-thirds are used cars, the latter
market thus being twice as large as
the former. The new car purchases
establish a flow of used cars to this
large market--cars having thous-
ands of miles of unused transporta-
tion, at reduced prices, extending
the advantage Of ownership to mil
lions Of families that could not 9th
erwise participate.
The reasoning, in the bulletin, is
summed up as follows:
sThus, because the automobile in
dustry periodically offers new and
better values, those who can afford
new cars have a real incentive to
buy. These purchasers, by passing
along their older models, make avail
able a constant supply of used cars
to other buyers at whatever prices
they care to pay. This process Of
steady improvement places at the
disposal Of buyers wide variety OF

When workers reach age 65, If
they have earned $4,000 or more
have been employed at least
one day in each of five years start
ing January |, 1887, they will ges

based on The wages Of each individ.
ual. Those who have earned $4,000
will get $40 d month. Total earn
ings Of So ,eoe over a period of five
years or longer will result in a
monthly check for $15. The benefits
increase with the wages earned up
to maximum of $S5 month.
Workers must retire in order to
get these benefits.
Al worker who reaches age 65 be
fore January /, 1912, will receive
single lump-sum payment instead
monthly checks. These payment
amount to 8 II percent of the wage
received while working in employ
ment which comes under the Socia
Security Act. 1t is not necessary
to retire to get this money. Claims
for these benefits are now being
paid at the rate of hundreds every
week in Region Five. The social
security offices file these claims
without cost.
If a worker dies after having been
employed in jobs covered by social
security, his widow or his legal heirs
will also get q single lump-sum ben
eft payment This is also equal to
12 percent of the covered wages Of
each worker from January /, 1897,
