Delegate Dimond and Governor Gruening who was then Director of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions in the De pertinent of the Interior protest ed against it and demanded that Alaskans be given the same ad vantages as the residents of Seat tie with respect to Navy base em ployment. Acting Governor Bart lett and Joseph T Flakne, Direct or of the Alaska Territorial Elm ployment Service exerted every effort to see that Alaskans were given a square deal. After as- suming tht Governorship, Cover nor Gruening made a trip to Sit ka and upon his return publicly denounced the existing set-up as highly discriminatory against residents of Alaska.
 Last week Delegate Dimond and Governor Gruening had an extended conference with Secre- tary of the Navy Edison and a number of Navy officers and an- ether conference with Represent atlves Magnuson and Wallgren of the State of Washington and James Taylor of Seattle, rep resentative of the unions involv- ed. The dispute was not one be- tween tht unions and Alaskans, since the skilled Workmen be- longed to branches of the same unions anyhow. Nor was it a dis pute with the Navy Department.
 The arrangement now made provides that Alaskans may be hired at Juneau or Anchorage, and their qualifications examined into there, as well as at the sites of the work, and that if found qualified they will then be paid transportation from Juneau or Anchorage as the case may be, to the place where they are to be employed and that the facilities of the Alaska Territorial Employ ment Service would be used to the fullest possible extent. Fur ther provision is made that if residents of Alaska become ill on the job they too may have their transportation paid back to the place where they were employ ed. In this way by having em- ployment offices, even on a part time basis, in two of the main centers of population in Alaska, the citizens of Alaska are given the same advantages with res pect to employment as enjoyed by those in the States who may be hired in Seattle.

IL HOW dppcdlo llldt llOSl Ol tlIS disputes with respect to the em- ployment of resident of Alaska
 in work on the naval air bases
 at Sitka and Kodiak are in fair
 way of being adjusted.
 Before the bill carrying appro
 priations for these two bases
 was passed by Congress, Dele gate Dimond requested the Sec
 retary of the Navy to employ Alaska workmen on the projects so far as available, pointing out
 that the Territory of Alaska as Territory in cooperation with the Federal Government main
 tains an employment service
 which would be helpful in sup
 plying all types of labor and that
 the American Legion posts in Al
 aSka would be in a position to
 render assistance in seeing that
 AlaSka Workmen had a fair op-
 portunity to obtain whatever
 jobs were available. The Secre-
 tary suggested that 1t would be an
 advantage financially for the con
 tractors to employ as many skill
 ed mechanics and laborers at or
 near the site of the work as pos
 sible and therefore, it was likely
 that full usage would be made of
 services of qualified workmen in
 construction of the projects. However after the contracts
 were awarded to the Seims-Spo-
 kane Company, Johnson, Drake and Piper, Inc, and the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Com pany, by the Navy Department, the contractors entered into a contract with he A F of L unions In Seattle that in reality discrnm mated against resident of Alas ka. Those determinations were of four types;
 CD The contract provided that although bona fide residents of the Territory who are qualified to work should be given prefer ence of employment, they might be hired only at the site of the job.
 (2) It contained provision that each craft involved would be allowed as first placement on each project one man exclus- i've of the foreman to be hired through their respective unions in Seattle;
 (3) The contractors agreed that all labor called for and hired in Seattle should have minimum first-class transportation paid to the site of the work; and
 (4) Provision was made that any employee hired in Seattle, who became incapacitated thru sickness or injury, should have his return transportation furnish ed to Seattle if so elected upon the advice of the physician.
 So it was clear from the con- tract that any AlaSkans employ ed would be obliged to pay their own transportation from their places of residence in Alaska to Sitka or Kodiak, as the case might be; and if they became sick they would have to return home at their own expense; and instead of being able to get jobs at some point in Alaska other than Sltka or Kodiak 1t would be necessary for Alaska residents to proceed at their own expense to Sitka and Kodiak and just take a chance that work would be available when they arrived there. So the provision giving pre- ference of employment to Alas kans in the work to be done on the projects was little better than meaningless, except as to the comparatively few workmen who might reside at Sitka or Ko- diak.
 Shortly after this contract be- tween the Seattle unions and the was entered into,

Water BuffoIo's Femur
Fine for Teeth
BY JOHN LARDNER,

Searching for the set that would
give him service as we'll as style, the
Deuce combed the better bazaars
year after year, visited the stalls
elong the water front to look for
secondhand bargains, and kept a
staff of engineers constantly busy in
his own private laboratory, expert
menting with billiard balls.
From an old Egyptian papyrus on
the subject of phony fangs, the
Deuce had learned that a billiard
ball-specifically, the cue ball-if
properly carved and lofted. would
supply set of teeth second to none.
The trouble is, teeth of this descrip-
ton are atavistic. They live in the
past.
Mikes billiard ball teeth kept
dropping down his windpipe, and a
specialist soon discovered that this
was because of their ancient habit
of dropping into the corner pocket
on pool table. Efforts to train the
ball away from this practice while
In its early. or natural, stage were
unsuccessful. Not until last month
did the Deuce find a set of teeth
that gave him satisfaction, and these
were not pool ball teeth. My In
formation is that they were hewn,
by special process, from the thigh
bone of a water buffalo.
At any rate, they got results,
Mixes bridge game now is clicking
smoothly, and the consequence is
more and better fights for the public.
No water buffalo ever gave up his
life and his femur in better cause.
