 ORDINANCE
 IN EFFECT
Juneau Minute Men Given Police Powers by City
 Council Action

The road was cleared by the City Council last night for delegating of police powers to the city's 250 civic defense minute-men when an emer- gency city ordinance was passed, governing control of the city during the present war emergency.
 Under the provisions of the meas ure, the Mayor is empowered at any time to declare a state of special emergency and to deputize any num- Der of special police he deems ad- visable.
 Deputizing of a certain number of the civic guardsmen, giving them power to enforce restrictions inn posed in cases of blackouts, air raids or other emergencies will probably get under way late today or tomor- row, it was indicated by Mayor Har- ry I. Lucas.
 Also included in the ordinance was the delegating of a site be- heath Calhoun Avenue, in the vii cinity of Fifth Street, from the Seaview Apartments to Knights Apartments, as a safe harborage in case of air raid. First preference for this shelter will go to children, then to women with infant children, then to single women and last to men the ordinance provided. It was also provided that anyone violating this shelter preference, in such a way that persons entitled to shelter are crowded out, will be subject to a fine up to $l00 or 30 days in jail.
 The ordinance will place Juneau civilian life on a full wartime basis Full text of the ordinance appears elsewhere in this issue of The Empire.

American ships Seized

Washington, Sept. l8-(UP)-Well- informed quarters sad today that a noon dealine had been set for federal seizure of 10 American ves- sels tied up in Atlantic and Gulf ports by a strike of the Seafarers international Union (AFL) unless the dispute is submitted to arbitra- ton.
 These sources said the deadline was set by Maritime Commission Chairman Emory s. Land, on di- rect authorization by President Roosevelt. In notice to the ship operators and the striking union which is demanding war bonuses on all sailings to the West Indies and South America.
 There was no immediate comment from land an officials of the n1ari- time commission declined to discuss the report.
 The president was described as "very much concerned" by the strike and the delay caused in shipments of defense material to West Indies bases acquired from Great Britain He was said to have informed off, cials connected with the negotia- tions that c resumption of trafac to the bases is imperative"
 The arbitration proposal first was made by the ship owners but the STU fiatly refused. It also rejected former proposal by Land that the ships affected by the strike be put into immediate service on condition that any agreement reached would be retroactive.
 The union contends that It's re- quest for bonuses is justified by the fact that their lives are endangered by German raiders whenever they sail to ports flying foreign flags.
