COMMUNICATION

Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir
 It is none of my concern as to the merits of the dispute between Mont gomery Ward and Co.,, and the Re- tail Clerks Union, so I see no reason to discuss it, but I do consider the Clerks Union has treated the pub lic-the public on whom they de- pend for their living-unfairly
 If survey was made, it would be found the Juneau public ordered it's 9oods from Montgomery Ward and Co. before the picketing started at the Juneau order office.
 If the Clerks Union, or shall we say, Mir Chinella?, had released Montgomery Wards goods from the dock and allowed the order office to be open for a period of four days or so. CT at least up to the 18th, and then clamped on their pickets, the people of Juneau and especially scores of kids would have. had a merrier Christmas and what is more important for the clerks, their union would have had the unanimous cheers and support of the people of Juneau, instead of the growing an- tagonism and distrust in this local ity. not only amongst the towns people, but also amongst loyal union members.
 Maybe Wards will settle with the Clerks Union or the Clerks may withdraw their pickets. Regardless, the dispute will be settled somehow, but the innocent public, who have had no hand in the dispute and in whom the clerks derive their living are the sufferers. The clerks cer tainly can't bring back this Christ mas, and goods released now have lost their value as far as Christmas is concerned. All we can say is the Clerks Union has left bad taste in the mouths of Juneaus citizens.
 Another thing the Clerks certain ly can't expect the public to support their dispute, while trying to in tinlidate it, by taking pictures and the names of our wives and children as they enter Wards Order Office. After all the public is not on strike.
 The clerks had plenty of time to know when they were going to picket Wards. In all fairness to the buy ing public. it should at least have been given @ chance to make other arrangements Now the public is ex- pected to be good sports about it all. The public wonders if, as the clerks say Wards is unfair to organized labor but, this the public definitely does know, the Clerks Union is unfair to the public"
 Yours truly,
 (SignAdD CHARLES L. CROzIER.

Buck, president of the American
Society of Composers, Authors anc

prefer charges against the persons
responsible for his being charged
in Montana with attempted eX-
tortion and two misdemeanorS.
Gov. Roy E. Ayers of Montana
yesterday refused a request for
Bucks extradition to Missoula to
face the charges-outgrowth of a
long fight by Montana radio sta
tions to escape payment of ASCAP
fees.
"Since Buck never was in Mon

Montana" Ayers said. ITO me it
is clear that a man without the
state could not commit a crime
within the state
I'VE intend to prefer charges
against the perpetrators of this

The action will be in the form OF
major suit. The ASCAP feels it
is rightfully entitled to royalties
from the music it controls and
there is no reason why Montana

Nations S Income
Up -Four Billions
For 81 Over '38

WASHINGTON, Feb. % tUP)-
The commerce department today
estimated the nations 1899 income
at S68500,0 100000. a gain of $4,500,-
C00,0O0 or seven per cent, over 1898.
The 1899 income, however, was
$4,000, 100000 lower than that pro-
duced in 1929 and $4,000, less
than the figure for 1887, the New
Deals peak recovery year.
The department pointed out that
the $4,000 100000 difference be-
tween the 1929 and 1899 income
vas accompanied by differences of
10 per cent in wholesale prices and
Is per cent in the cost of living
The figures were contained in an
economic review of 1889 presented
in the annual review number of the
departments suvey of current bus
mess. The report cautioned that
the higl rate of industrial activity
during December, 1899, will decline
in the early portions of this year
as the rate of inventory accumu-
lation falls of.
Quantity of goods and services
produced last year was very nearly
the same as that of 1899, despite the
large variance in the dollar figures,

Two important factors-business
recovery and the European war

Palestine Areas

LONDON, Feb. %, cUP)-The
government issued an official de-
claration today that sales of land
by Arabs to Jews henceforth will be
prohibited in certain areas of PaleS-
tine and restricted in others.
The declaration emphasized that
the restrictions will not prevent de-
velopment of Jewish national
home but were ordered to protect
the Arabs.
Nothing is more likely to contri
butte to the possibility of renewed
bitterness between Arabs and Jews
and further violent disorders than
the existence of a considerable land
less Arab population and, in fact,
some restrictions on land sales are
essential if good government IN
Palestine is to be established the
declaration said.

Living Costs Down! That's Story
Told bvU j. s. Labor Statistics Body

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. CUP)-
War conditions have capenI ups and
downs in many businesses, but
haven't had much effect on Mrs.
Average HousWife's total living cost
in this country.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today that living costs in
80 large cities dropped six-tenths
of one per cent in the three months
ending Dec Is. Officials said that
there had been little, if any, change
since then.
Food costs declined in each of the
80 cities surveyed, except Minnea-
polls, where there was an increase of
six-tenths of one per cent This was
offset by rises in clothing costs,
mostly for woolen goods and cotton,
which went up in every city. Detroit
reported the largest increaSe-l.6 e
per cent. Fuel and light costs in
Rreased on the average 1.3 per cent,
Ind houSefurnishing goods IA per
cent
The survey was made among fam
lilies of Wage-earnerS and loW-sal-
aried workers in Denver, Los Ange-
les, Portland, Ore, San Francisco,
Seattle and 81 other cities.
The report showed total living
cost decreases in all 80 cities except
Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit.
Food costs we're 28 lower, on the
average, on Dec. IS than on Sept.
IS, due in large part to declines in
the price of meats and of sugar

drop, SIS per cent, while Seattle and
