 He suggests that recommenda- tions to be made by the Com missioner of Mines in his annual report, be given careful attention as mining is the important in- dustry in the Territory. Stabiliz- ation of labor conditions is alsosa serious matter for consideration and study should be made into the conditions that create strikes.
 Resident laborers should be g yen the greater share of en- ployment and also consulted in reference to strikes, especially those which affected the fishing industry last year, thus eliminat- ing outside unions making the decisions.
 Abandonments of service on the Copper River Railroad should be studied; larger appropriations are necessary for welfare needs the building of a new separate Pioneers home to take care of the overflow of anticipated flu ture needs.
