Law Changes Recommended By Atty. Gen.
Regulation of Outside Unions Suggested
 in Report

Enactment by the present Legis- lature of law ito loosen the strang- ling hold of nonresident unions continually threatening the Alaska labor situation and dictating the terms of employment and conditions under which labor may be employed in Alaska" is recommended by Att torney General James s. Truitt in his biennial report submitted to the Governor and Legislature.
 The Attorney General listed 34 suggestions and recommendations sent to his office for needed legisla- ton.
 We have tried to make known and to discover which laws on our statute books are not working we'll and to learn where they should be amended, so that the result intended by our Legislature might be attain ed,' Attorney General Truitt said.
 Among recommendations in the report are the following:
 Fisheries Recommendations
 That larger license fee be re- quired of nonresident fishermen.
 That only bona fide residents of the Territory be employed in the fishing industry, on a graduated scale, allowing employers 10 per cent of the total number employed to be non-residents, such as foremen, superintendents and technical help.
 That new law be enacted pre- scribing a legal definition of "resi- dent of Alaska" with respect to fishing, in order to prevent fisher men coming in the Territory early in the spring and leaving when the cannery crews go out in the fall.
 That a law be enacted prohibit ing non-residents fishing in Alaska waters; said law to take effect two years after approval by Congress, as two years would give everyone who wants to fish in Alaska waters ample time to become residents, and give the cannerleS ample Clfne Oo make arrangements in the selec- tion of their fishermen.
 Weights and Measures
 That law be enacted providing for the inspection of weights and measures.
 That the administration of the Bureau of Fisheiie in the Terri tory be investigated.
 That an Alaska Game Confusion be created with roots of authority in the Territory and not in apoint- ees from Washington, and that the constitutionality of the Alaska Game Law be tested.

1SO RESIDE
 AT PIONEER
 HOME, SITkA
Constant " aifing List Is Reported by Superin-
 tendent Hansen

Alaska Pioneers Home at Sitka has cared for capacity load of 180 men throughout the past two years and has had a waiting list of be- tween 20 and 30 men all of that time, it is revealed in the biennial report of Filler Hansen, Superin- tendent.
 During the biennium there were 292 persons cared for in the Home. Of these 121 were admitted during the period. 76 died, 32 were dis charged and 184 were residents of the Home December 31, 1888, close of the period covered in Hansen's s report.
 Total net expenditures of the Home in 1937 were $75.153.72 and last year they were $73,35690. Daily average cost for maintenance of resi- dents of the Home was $1.13 in 1887 and $109 in 1938
 Standard of service and quality of food at the Home has been increased during the biennium, Hansen re- ported.
 Credit to Alaska
 "The care of the aged is prob lem that is growing in importance each year throughout the nation, , Hansen states in his report. Tt is now being conceded that the wretch ed and degrading conditions sur- rounding the average poor house in the States should be relegated to the past. Every Alaskan ought to be proud of the fact that this Terri tory years ago solved the poor house problem by providing housing and operating facilities that made it pos sible to create real home for it's pioneers. The Pioneers Home is liv- ing proof that an institution can be operated for the aged without destroying their independence or curtailing the rights of individual liberty. I do not consider in any sense of the word that the Pioneers Home is a charitable institution. It is a means of paying just debt by providing care and comfort to the men who gave their years of usefulness to the development of Alaska"
 Installation of crematory and a combined columbarium and mauso- leum are recommended by Super intendent Hansen, as it is>impossible to find any new area around Sitka for burial ground. The present cemetery, he estimates will suffice for a period of but 20 years.
 More than 150 varieties of native flowers and shrubs now grow as part of the landscaping of the Home,

 British Premier Chamberlain would like to learn the 1889 plans of the Rome Berlin-T Tokyo triangle.
 Reports are growing that Ger many and Italy are making efforts to dominate Spain and her stra- tegic ports on the Mediterranean Sea as outposts.

 The British Premier le1t Lon don today carrying last minute re- ports from French Ambassador Charles Cordin that Germanys new fleet of "minnow submarines" is being built to hamper French and British shipping in the Mediter- ranean.
 The British Premier is accom- panied on his present trip by For eign Secretary Halifax and a brief stop will be made in Paris for 8 conference with French officials.
 It is reliably reported that Cham berlain will advise Mussolini to patch up his quarrel with France over the Colonies in Africa.
