time asked to be heard on the meas
ure, while others were expected at
any time.
On the other hand, the laborites
haven't the slightest idea of talk
ing anything lying down, and when
opponents of the measures have had
their say, proponents are going to
get their day in court.
In preparation for this counter
showing, Salisbury's c. A. Fink,
president of the State Federation OF
Labor, is planning to have every Sec
ton of the State represented when
labor's side of the picture is painted
They're coming from the noun
tains to the sea-" he told your COR
respondent today. 81 don't mean that
we plan any Wide-open mass de-
monstration or mob hearing. We will
be represented by chosen represen-
tatives from every section and of
every form of industry to be cover
ed by State wage-hour bill"
All previous Legislative history i'll
dictates that this Wage-hOur contro-
versy will be as sharp and acrimon-
iOus as every previous labor-employ-
'er controversy has been.
There has developed and is still
being developed the hottest kind of
opposition to the bill, though it is.
likely that the opposition's strategy
will not be to kill it frankly and
outright. Instead there will likely
be adopted the well known and often
effective strategy of emasculating it
to the point of utter innocousness.
Two years ago the 55-hour, or so
called 'maximum hour" bill was
similarly treated, although labor
claimed some advance in its enact
ment in any form, however weaken
ed.
The same thing is probably going
to happen this time. Some kind OF
wage-hour bill will be passed,
though it may be SO altered that
even its best friends won't know it.
At one and the same time, it will
undoubtedly be some advance for
labor; history teaches that each sue
cessive measure enacted in North
Carolina has been Just that.

then pulling it up against your
thigh. Huston says one gets used
to that strained feeling in a short
time.
Step B involves attaching the peg
leg, just like any peg leg is attached,
with a bit of padding between it and
the knee so Huston won't pound
himself to pieces while humping
around the stage in his dance.
Step C finds the process complete
with realism attended to. The knick-
ers worn by the Knickerbocker
papas were of the plus four type
raised to about the sixth power.
There's so much room in the pants
that Huston could carry a key OF
beer in the seat without detection,
let alone a surplus leg. And theno
just to make sure, he wears q volu-
minous cloak.
Probably the most amusing part
of the play is a dance by Hustc1o
with some fancy stepping On inc

are we faced now with the admitted
fact that the budget as recommended
by the budget commission will be
out of balance to the amount of
seven million dollars unless we dip
into taxes other than those in the
general fund; but we are confronted
with the practical certainty that this
policy will leave the State two years
from now in such condition that even
diversion OF millions of highway
money will not effect a balance"
Both senators were reticent about
suggesting new sources of revenue
at this time, while the finance COM
mittee is working on that problem,
but they did call attention to one or
two facts.

their vote authorized the levy of in

weeks labor be limited to not more
than 40 hours unless overtime wages
are paid.
The laborites were represented at
the public hearings before Represen
tative j. B. Vogler's committee on Ia
Dor, manufacturing and commerce by
stenographer who took down a YER
batim transcript of the proceedings
this with view 20 providing am
munitiOn for the laborites when the
time for counter attack comes.
Testimony OF the employer repre-
sentatives was just what had been
expected. There were statements
that passage of this bill means that
we will be run out of business" iust
as like statements have been made
on every similar occasion since il WA,
a question of prohibiting the en-
ployment of nine-year olds in cotton
mills.
The bills-there are two of them
one putting the State wage-hour re,
gulations on a par with the Federal
law, the other not quite so drastic
were pictured as provocative of end
less complaints to the Department al
Labor and as tending to promote
strikes and even racial disorders
Yesterdays hearings were the frs
in long line which will follow. Las

of the other levies we are making >
He further favors increasing the
taxes on certain patent medicines
produced and sold in this State.
incidentally, Representative Page
in the House Monday night rescued
his Headache powder" bill from the
unfavorable calendar and succeeded
in having it re-referred to commit
tee. It is generally understood that
his purpose is to offer an amend
ment which will produce substantial
revenue from tax on these powders
Phrased another way, Senator
Gibbs continued, the question is by
what method do we want to- pay fOI
the cultural services we are receiv-
ing from the State. 1t is admitted
that the State doesn't want to &C
backward. We don't want to give uE
schools or roads or libraries or pub
lie health or conservation of natur:--
resources. Our fathers and grand
fathers paid for such Of these bene-
fits as they had out of their private
purses Our generation and the next
can return to this plan or submit tc
heavier tax levies and pay for the
services out of public funds. The
senator is very thoroughly convinced
that the citizenship of the State can
not continue to receive ever-increas-
ing services from the State and fin
ance them from the same sources to
which the State has looked for rev.
enue during the past decade.
The issue, he thinks, must be faced
soon and had just as well be met
now, even though it might mean
that most of the work done by the
current sessio nto date will have tc

later expressed publicly his appre-

NEW YORK-That peg leg Wal
ter Huston wears in "Knicker-
booker Holiday" is a great nuisance
to the star of the Broadway must
cal hit in which he plays the part of
Peter Stuyvesant, New York's old
Dutch governor. But not the way
one would think. There is no dis
comfort involved in the contortions
required to dispose of his regular
leg. He has even mastered the art
of dancing on the artificial one.
The real trouble with the silver
leg is that it has become virtually
the only topic of conversation in
Huston's life, and he's getting pretty
tired of explaining how it works.
Step A, it seems, is strapping the
actors long, sturdy right leg tight
ly against his thigh. You can see
how it goes by standing on your left
leg, bending the right backward
until you can grasp it with the hand,

New Republican leadership.
Congressman Joseph W.. Martin,
Jr., of Massachusetts is performing
like a houSe-afire as Republican
leader in the House of Representa-
tives.
He has won a number of votes a.
gainst the Roosevelt administration
by keeping all the members of his
minority on the job, while a lot of
the majority-ites have not been pres
ent for roll calls.
Of course the suspicion is that the
Democrats are not as faithful and
cohesive as the Republicans. Indeed,
the Republicans have had to have a
lot OF Democratic ballots to help
them. However, the Republicans
have been aided by a lot of Demo-
cratic support that the New Deal
Democrats did not consider them en-
titled to-
New Republican Leader Martin, in
the House of Representatives, has
raised considerably more heck than
has older Republican Leader Charles
L. McNary in the Senate though
the latter has done fairly we'll, too,
partisanly speaking. 1t is to be taken
into account that Martins minority,
relatively, is a good bit larger than
McNary's. Still, Martin shows more
genius.
One thing that Martin has done is
to start an investigation of "emer-
gency powers" granted by Congress
to the President.
The ordinary congressional inves-
tigation theoretically is bipartisan,
meaning that the majority party
bosses it. 1t always comes out as per
the latter party's wishes. Here's a
new kind. 1t can be only semi-of-
ficial, but it may be thrilling

FAIR DIRECTORS MEET PLAN TOR FALL FAIR

The N. W Alaska Fair Associa ton directors met Monday. Aug. 2. President o. s. Weaver pre- siding. for a preliminary discus sion of plans in connection with the Second Divisions annual Fair, which is to be held this year during the week of Oct. 13, 14, 15.
 AS 1t had been. decided at a previous meeting of the Board to accomplish the issuance of the Fair Premium Booklet at a date early enough to allow wide dis tribution prior to the Fair, con- siderable time and attention was given to the list of premiums and prizes. Several slight reVisions were made, but in the aggregate the listings well remain substan- tially the same as contained in last years Premium Booklet.
 The committee on printing were authorized to make arrange ments with The Nome Nugget for publication of the booklet on or about Sept. 1st.
 Due to the promptness of booklet advertisers, both in sub scribing for ads and in sending in the subject matter for same, the Directors feel assured that this early date will be adhered to.
 Superintendents for the var lous Fair departments were sel- ected and confirmed, thus permit ting this most important branch of the Fair management to be- gin functioning at an early date which should insure the caliber and quantity of exhibits and re- IieVe the struggle and strain of the usual last minute efforts. A complete list 1of superintendents will be published in The Nugget at later date, also from time to time items concerning the Fair that are of interest to the public.
