CANNERY WORK BILL IS TACKLED
 BY SENATOR'S
Arnold Testifies Measure Would Do More Harm
 Than Good

Cannerymen would like to employ larger number of Alaskans in the industry, but the Territory has nc legal right to require that 50 per cent or any other portion of can nery workers must be residents, w c. Arnold told the Senate this af- ternoon.
 Judge Arnold was called to speak regarding Senator Henry Roden's Senate Bill No. 67 which would de- clare it the policy of the Terri tory that at least half of Alaska s cannery employees should be resi- dents.
 By unanimous consent an amend ment by Senator c. H. LaBoyteux, cutting the percentage to 33 1i3, was adopted.
 Arnold sad the canning industry was so. restricted by union con- tracts that it was his opinion en- actment of legislation such as that proposed in the bill would be dan gerous, in that the outside unions could challenge its legality and probably demand. as result, that even a larger share of workers must be outsiders
 Congress, Arnold said, has grant ed to anens and F'ilipinos the ex- press privilege to work in Alaska canneries, hence restricting the eff feet of the proposed Territorial bill only to nonresident citizens.
 The Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Alaska has not legal right to restrict employment to its own residents. Arnold read the opinion.
 Alaska canneries give employ ment each year to 17,000 workers. There are not enough persons in the First and Third Divisions, where the canneries are located, to provide workers for half these jobs, Arnold declared

Throng Sees 0psa| Win Big Event and
 Thrills 10 Jumping

Nearly 200 waterproof spectators who defied yesterdays showers were rewarded with a thrill packed three hours as 52 racers slid or tumbled across the finish line in the six running events, elimaxed by the finest jumping yet flashed in South east Alaska as six ski riders vied in a hotly contested battle for the jumping crown.
 Despite the adverse weather and the slow snow conditions on the trail, yesterdays Fourth Annual Ju- neau Ski Club Tournament won the vote as the finest all-around skiing exhibition yet put on in this sec- tion.
 The improved jumping hill yield ed the biggest array of thrills for spectators as Juneaus Sven Saren stretched the limits of the slope to win the jumping honors with leaps of 98 and 97 feet in nearly perfect form, then bested the century mark with an exhibition jump of 102 feet.
 Halvor Opsal, Petersburg entrant pressed Saren for distance on his leaps but yielded on form to two of his townsmen, Pete Botten and Mike Johnson, who made shorter leaps in finished style.
 But, though he missed adding the Juneau jumping laurels to his all- Southeast Alaska crown won at the recent Petersburg meet, Opsal will go home far from empty handed. With a time of 10 minutes 9 and four -fifths seconds over the three mile downhill trail, Opsal captured the Moller Gold Trophy for the sec ond time in three years. becoming the first dual-winner of the Cham pionship Cup. Slow snow held back all the runners, and Opsal's time was considerably behind his win ming mark of two years ago and nearly two minutes behind the course record set last year by Saren
 Placing second and third in the big race were Ralph Moreau and Sarne, who finished two seconds apart. but more than a half minute behind Opsal
 Johnson, Opsals Pe.srsburg team mate, went under the wire in fourth place while other invaders placed further back. Botten took eleventh spot in the Moller Race, while Lawrence Freeburn, Sitka entrant, was forced out with a broken ski.
 The opening event of the day, the Boys Race, over a new one-mile course, was taken by Robert Car rothers, while Class A and Glass B Junior events were won by Charles Notar and Elwin MeSSer, respective ly. Messer's winning time in the Class B race was the fastest hung up in all four races over the short course: three minutes, one second
 Virginia Smith grabbed off a half minute edge to cop the Wom- en's Race, while the closing running event, the Class B Mems Race, over the three mile course, went to Tom Stewart by a wide margin. The complete list of racers. finishing positions and times in each race, follows:
