NUTRITION IMPAIRED BY

A business man has suffered for
fifteen years from o trick diagnosis
Of gastrontestinal neurasthenia. The
trick diagnosis was made by q

suspect the doctor led with his chin.
Although the poor man has con-
suited many specialists and visited
many sanitariums and health re-
sorts, and taken various sorts Of
non-medical treatment as we'll
(which infer means he has had
considerable truck with charlatans

nothing has ever given him any
benefit. Sometimes he does feel o
little better but he soon relapses.

Wage and Hour Admins
traitor Clears Problem
Affecting Alaska

Time voluntarily spent in at
tending safety meetings after work
ing hours and as part of a general
safety program sponsored or APP
proved by a governmental agency
such as the Bureau of Mines or
by a recognized independent or
ganization engaged primarily in
safety information dissemination,
will not, as a general rule, be con-
sidered as working time under the
Fair Labor Standards Act, Admin
istrator Elmer F. Andrews of the
Wage and Hour Division. U. S. De-
partment of Labor, has announced.
Many questions have arisen in
the mining industry on this point;
in order TO clarity the situation,
Andrews made public a copy of 4
letter he wrote recently to Dan
Harrington, Chief of the Health
and Safety Branch Of the U. S.
Bureau of Mines. The letter fol-
lows:
Dear Mr. Harrington:
Reference is made to your in
quiry regarding the applicability
Of paragraph Is of Interpretative
Bulletin NO. Is to safety meet

you state that the Bureau of
Mines and cooperating State agen-
cies have as their purpose the dis
semination of safety information
in the mineral industries and that
you arrange, with the cooperation
of employers and employer and
employee organizations, to offer in
struction in first aid and accident
prevention. This instruction which
is offered through classes, exhibit
lions and field meets follows or
gained plans developed By the
Bureau of Mines and cooperating
States agencies.
You will note that paragraph
IS contains two tests: Cd whether
attendance is voluntary and 90
whether the meeting or lecture is
directly related to the employees
work In our opinion safety meet
ings which take place after work

part of a general safety program
which is sponsored or approved by
a governmental agency or by any

ton engaged primarily in dissem-
mating safety information, will not
ordinarily be directly related to

dance is voluntary, will not be con-

ing put out enroute or at the base,
he became a base runner, same as
men on second and third base; IN
other words, the bases were loaded.
Time being called by Umpire Iffert
(and during the interim) the three
base runners were free agents. They
could have wandered all over the
field if they had so wished; no one
could be put out, base run or run
scored. provided however, they were
back on their respective bases at the
recall of time and the ball returned
to the pitcher while in the box ready
to resume play;-so when Umpire
Novel; ordered the man back to
third and second base and called
PLAY Ball" Koshak ought to have
had the same opportunity. Instead,
Umpire Novel; declared him out
and therefore he was denied that
right. In this the umpire was in
error. as n Done could. be played on
at that time, as time was then out
by reason of the call of time
Record Disclosure
THE record discloses that only
one man was declared out after
the recall of time We then have
this situation:
First. second and third being &C.
cupied. or at least should be- as Ko-
shak had a legal right to be then
on first base. The inning closed
with only two men legally retired.
Just what might have happened be-
fore the third man could or would
have been legally retired no one
could say Strange things have hap
pened in ball games. Rallies far
greater than the one under consid-
Grafton have taken place, and will
happen again and again as long as
we remin mere humans. The num-
Der of runs scored by the successful
team cuts n ofigure, SO long as there
still remains that chance that it
nigh thave been overcome before
the final man was legally out.
Regrettable Disputes
These disputes are regrettable
and not pleasant, but ! am compell-
ed to decide this case on the record
as I find it. This same situation
arose In the game of July 18th when
Kelly was tagged out at second af-
ter time had been declared out and
Umpire Iffert returned him to sec
ond base.
Prom the foregoing I hereby hold
that the protest Of the Elks Club
is we'll taken; the game declared off
and to be played over at some flu
ture date.
1T now appears that Vice-Presi-
dent Frank Heinke who is in au-
thority during my absence (and any
decision made by him would be fl
nab had decided the protest in fa-
vor of the Moose. This naturally
nullifies my decision in this case, as
I am powerless to override any ac-
ton taken by him during my abb
sence and while he was in charge
Just why I was not informed OF
this decision but was requested to
decide this matter, is something up
on which pass no comment, only

Gastineau Channel Baseball League
President Judge Holzheimer an
nounced today that his decision in
favor of the Elks protesting a ball
game lost to the Moose on June 26,
has been reversed by the action OF
Frank Hinke who was acting as
president of the league at the time
of the game, during Holzheimer's
absence.
Holzheimer issued the following
statement:

and apparent conflict Of decision
surrounding the protest of game be-
tween the Elks mad Moose, / be-
heve that the public is entitled to,
and it is my duty to offer. some eX-

Upon my arrival from Ketchikan
I was handed a protest made by the
Elks on the postponed game Of June
9th. played on June Goth. and re-
quested to make a decision, which

following finding:

President of the Gastineau Channel

Second: Batsman becomes a base

catcher fails to hold the ball, pro-

Washington, May 20-Manufac-
tUrers and wage earnerS in the au-
tOmobile industry in Henderson, N
C., as we'll as those in other auto
mobile manufacturing centers in the
United States, will be aided directly
by the concessions secured on motor
vehicles and parts in. the trade agree
ment concluded between the United
States and Turkey, which became
effective previously May 5, 1889, ac-
cOrding to the Department OF Com
nlerce at Washington
Exports of automobiles are of par
ticular Importance to American
manufacturers and workers in this
industry, inasmuch as a substantial
proportion of American production
is sold in foreign markets. In 1887.
the latest year for which figures of
this nature are available, a conser-
vative estimate indicated that at
least seven percent of all the motor
vehicles and parts produced in the
United States were exported. Not
only were manufacturers dependent
on sales aboard for this large share
of their total volume, but since the
average number of wage earnerS in
the automobile industry, not includ-
ing salaries officers and employees,
in that year was 479,158, and eX-
ports accounted for about seven per-
cent of production, it is estimated
that exports of autOmotive products
provided employment for some 32,-
900 workers. In addition, many
workers were provided employment
indirectly in the production of the.
various materials utilized by the
automobile manufacturers as a re-
suit of their export sales and in the
many services connected Herewith.
Any additional exports stimulated
by reductions in trade barriers un-
der the reciprocal trade agreements
program, or any other trade-enlarg-
ing medium, actually create jobs
which otherwise would not exist
Turkey is growing important
market for motor vehicles and parts
and is almost completely supplied
by the United States. In 1887, the
United States supplied S2,010,0O0
worth, or 972 percent, of Turkeys
total imports of these products
Under the new trade agreement the
rates of duty in the Turkish tariff,
including passenger cars, bodies and
parts and all chassis, were reduced
by three-fifths
On passenger automobiles weigh
ing between 900 and 1900 kilos,
which include American automobiles
in the low-price field, this reduc-
ton changed the ad valorem equiva-
lent of the import duty from GIG
percent to 24.6 percent, or by an
amount equivalent to one-fourth Of
the existing Turkish retail price for
automobiles of this type In 1887.
even under the relatively high rate
OF duty, Turkey imported $4,000
worth of this category of American
passenger cars.
This duty reduction also applied
on passenger automobiles weighing
each, between 1900 and 1850 kilos
Turkish imports from the United
States under this classification in
1897 were valued at S193,479
Trucks are imported by Turkey
IN the form Of chassis, as bodies are
made locally. In 1887 imports of
truck chassis from the United States
were valued at 81 1,181 ,238, represent
