Washington, Dec. 31-(AP)
The Is railroad non-opcrat-

dent Roosevelt $ proposed basis
for arbitrating their wage dis
pute, and insisted they were
entitled to a ruling on overtime
independent of every other
consideration.
a letter in reply to one from the
President yesterday said I've do

The President had outlined TO
them the scope of the dispute

WAR BONDS-You've Done Your Bit-NOw Do Your Best!

The touching it does every life has made the public appreciative of human values and more i erested in the way of life used to enjoy the way of life fighting to win for future, and the fu ture happines and welfare of and daughters, and those of allies and as thinking christians tend desire for freedom to enemies Natur ally must dedicate ourselves to the task before us to do everything possible to victory the battle
 fronts of today for ideals in the future and the ultimate peace for the entire world.
 The thinking American today knows that 10 per cent tor War Bonds is not enough He knows that workers
 living costs have gone up that income and Victory Tax aye deducted at the source for millions of work CTS throughout the nation
 Check And Double-C Check, You're perfectly right BUT all of these burdens than balanced by The MUCH HIGHER FAMILY INCOMES for great new workers who have entered the picture more than ever before in the history of country. Millions of women who never worked before, and millions of others wno never began to what they getting today.
 A 10 per cent allotment each month week for War Bonds from the wages of the family breadwnner is thing-but 10 per cent Payroll Allotment from each of several workers in the family quite differ ent matter. Why in most cases it could well be jacked up to at least 30 per cent-50 per cent-or of the NEW MONEY the family is making!
 That's why the Treasury Department is urging you to immediately revise your War Bond Thnking-your your War Bond Selling and your War Bond BUY NG-on the basis of the increased family incomes The Third War Bond Campaign is built around the family unit and all War Bond Sales Programs should be revised accordingly For all necessary details, get in touch with your postmaster your employer either will be only to glad to assist you in making plans for your future War Bond Buying.

CHAMBER
 TALKS ON STATEHOOD

A general meeting of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce was convened at the City Hall on Wednesday evening at 8 p. m, with W. I. Slack, president, and A Polet, secretary. The object of the meeting was explained by President Slack stating that there has been a con- siderable interest shown and the Chamber was requested to call a meeting to consider the statehood bill now in the Senate of the United States and also the bill that Delegate Dirnond has prom sed to introduce shortly in the House of Representatives.
 A good-sized representation of the membership of the chamber was present and a lively discus sion took place.
 Howard Lyng opened the dis cussion by stating that the sub ject being of such great import ance that he was not in favor of any hurried decision. He was in favor of referring it to a commit tee of five to study the subject and in due time report to the Chamber when a discussion could be had and a better understand ing may be had.
 Carl Lomen replied by stating that he did not wish a committee to be appointed without first a general discussion taking place. So, thereby, Secretary Polet openedb y stating that forty years ago. he was not in favor of state hood. Five years after, the ques- ton came up and he still was not in favor of statehood and num- Der of times the same subject came up for consideration and he still stood against statehood. But forty Or more years have now elapsed and he is now in favor of statehood. He believes that it is time now to be serious about it and to show that we are now in favor of same. He remarked: There is not one here present that is not in favor of statehood. The only question in everyone's mind is: is this the time to ask for it? Are we ready for state hood? Can we support statehood? So this is what we should discuss this evening"
 Senator O. ID. Cochran, presi- dent of the Territorial Chamber. spoke at length on the subject but he was not prepared to com- nit himself on the question as he felt like Secretary Polet. the nec- essity of studying the subject to find out the facts and figures as the time has arrived to launch ourselves in such a great under taking. He sincerely hoped that the subject would be discussed

ed or amended then it will be- come a constitution to govern the state.
 Judge Cochran and Chas. D. Jones discussed the former &C., tions of the Legislature in re- gard to taxation. They believed and were opposed to any prop erty tax or other forms of tax ation which would cost more to collect than probably what they could get out of the taxation, Sc they support the present form of license tax which the collection of is simple and can be done at a very nominal cost. MT. Jones affirmed that he was not at this time of the opinion that the territory is ready for state hood.
 C. L. Yenney, chief of Nome Fire Department, expressed his views and in a nice way brought out points in favor of statehood. He compared with the early set clement of the state of Washing ton, of which he is familiar. hav- ing lived in the state when the statehood was first granted. .y,
 MT. Orton expressed his views that he believed that everyone is in favor of statehood but as the time to enter in such task will be left to the decision of the citizens of Alaska and when the time comes, Congress undoubted- ly will consider. but he is of the opinion that Congress will not grant it until the state has ob- tained greater population. But he suggested that it is not necessary that the whole of Alaska be made into a state. He said that it could be sub-divided. Possible the Southeastern part of Alaska could be made into one state and the rest of Alaska north of the Yukon river could be left ter ritory. That has been the com mon practice in the past in many of the states before they finally became states.
 The whole matter was referred by the president to the Legis- lature committee which was com posed of O. D. Cochran, Leonard Smith and Frank Whaley, to which the president added How ard Lyng and Carl Lomen and Judge Morrison. The president himself will act as ex-o1ricio chairman. The committee Is to study the subject, make a report and if necessary, majority and minority report are to be made. And when the report is receiv- ed the president will call a gen. eral meeting to consider same. The meeting was then adjourned at the call of the president.
