Causes Of Sleep

Not much has been discovered
about either sleep or wakefulness
or their treatment since this little
book was published. Theories as
TO the causation Of sleep can be
divided into attempts TO explain
it Cd by the accumulation in the
blood of poisons from muscular
action and the activity Of the day,

horse, if not too far, to its limit,

Lasted Nineteen Days

A Chinese merchant had been
convicted Of numbering his wife,
and was sentenced TO die by being
deprived OF sleep. This painful
mode of death was carried into eff
feet under the following circum-
stances: The condemned was
placed in prison under the care
of three of the police guard, who
relieved each other every alter
nate hour. and who prevented the
prisoner falling asleep night or
day. He thus lived nineteen days
without enjoying any sleep. At
the commencement Of the eighth
day his sufrerings were so intense
that he implored the authorities
TO grant him the blessed oppor-
tunity of being strangled, guillo-
tined. burned TO death, drowned,
garotted. shot, CHARTERED, blown
up with gunpowder, or put TO
death in any conceivable way
their humanity or ferocity could
invent. This will give a slight idea
of the horrors Of death from want

The Fruits of Bad Law
New York Times


The grave situation that has developed in the
nations coal mines and its railroads is III part
the result of the Administrations own haphazaia
labor policy and in part of Congress ll-consldereu
Connally Smith Act. While that law makes II lilegai
to encourage" another man to strike 1t apparently
does not make it illegal for man hlnsell 10 sulke.
This places the Government in the foolish position oil
being able to do very little about man VINO Is can
didlv striking though it can put union official IN
Jail if it can prove that he urged the man to strike
Apart from this the only important step that the
Government take under the law is 10 seize liie
property of the owners. Thus the cnlel penalty rams
not ON the strikers but the person struck against
But as the most important strikes that have taken
Mace since the outbreak of have been directed
not against the owners who are TO-DAY comparatively
powerless but against the decisions oil the Govern
ment itself it would be difficult to imagine more
irrelevant penalty.
On the railroads the situation emphasizes even
more the internal contradiction of existing Federal
labor law The same Connally-Smlth ACT that a1
one point makes it illegal for any person TO coerce
instgate induce. conspire with or encourage any
person to strike in a plant which has been taken
over bv the Government provides that the Government
itself must sponsor a strike ballot If even small
minority of the workers ask for one NOW II is COM
pletely irrelevant far as the war effort Is con-
cerned whether the Government does or Goes not
have technical possession OF pant OF iaohi's -
which strike takes place. The only thing that
matters for the war effort is whether or not the
strike does take place.
Yet the Connally- Smith Act stands. And there
also stands, because the President has never sue-
gested that it ought be suspended in wartime the
2 aiIwav Labor Act upon which the Connally- Smith
Act was in part confusedly modelled. So we are now
about to witness the fantastic spectacle OF strike
ballot conducted under Federal law, which Is 10
eide whether the Government is to be forced TO SET
aside its own wage decision or whether the country
railroads are to be brought to stop and its entire
war production parayzed. In the face Oh these
major threats to whole war effort Congress
rather than admit that it has made bad mistake
refuses to touch or discuss its Connally- Smth Act
And the Administration continues as II mas ~foh sie
beginning to refuse to admit that the war emer-
pencv requires some revisons in our previous labor
laws.

At a recent meeting of the Juneau Chamber OF
Commerce. Norman Ebbley. Jr, engineer for the u s.
Bureau OF Mines spoke of area on Alaskas Arctic
Slope which. according to all indications, may con-
tain an excellent oil and provide the basis for
another Alaskan notwithstanding which will be
badly needed after the war.
Ordinarily the existence of such reserve would
not be too important. But oil men estimate today
that in a year or two the production OF oil III the
States will be unable to meet consumer requirements
Ebbley acting under the direction OF District
Engineer Robert S. Sanford. headed an expedition
into the region this fall. The party uncovered six
seepages according all indications good ones THESE
block 10000 square miles in size Formerly
only two seepage areas known to exist.
The chances for developing these oil lands are
good Pipelines could be laid into Fairbanks with
little difficulty and the distance is only about 600
miles Cold weather extremes are not as bad as
many would expect with the mercury rarely dropping
to SO degrees below.
The development of these fields has long been
the hope of Alaska Delegate Anthony j. Dmond. But
previously little known of the land, according to
Ebbley. This was the drawback,

perately scarce, and all these men
have been cleared by FBI and Army
Intelligence. War Shipping Is ready
to assign them to ships, but the
Navy Department stands IN the
way
The Navy official in this case Is
Lieut.. Commander Harold A. Burch
of Naval Intelligence. He is the
same man who got up a file OF
complaints on U. S. merchant sea-
men and turned it over to Chair
man Carl Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee without
giving War Shipping chance to
answer or investigate the criticism
first. Burch also took "Commun-
lists" off the crews of merchant
ships going to Murmansk, Russia.
In the japanese case, VISA is
willing to stand by Nays decision,
and if Navy says the Nisei cannot
sail. that's the end of it. But at
least VISA wants a decision. So
far, the Navy is stalling.
