toral Legislature Roden tossed the first bill into the
hopper christening that much abused receptacle
with a proposal which intended Of all things to pro-
vide for an eighthour day for all persons engaged III
mining. He fought for the bill right down the line
and it was finally passed with an amendment making
it applicable only to underground workers.
Other measures which he has introduced might
include the following:
A bill which limited the working day Of women in
Alaska to eight hours-defeated in the House after
Roden had driven it through the Senate
A bill which is the law today, setting up an
eight-hour work-day for all public works in Alaska.
Bill giving miners lien on mining property and
mine output as a security for wages earned, passed
Bill which enabled workers to go into court,
from employers for injuries sustained in employment
Bill setting up inspector of mines. Another asking
Congress to abolish fish traps The Minimum Wage
Law for Alaska.
However as Roden says perhaps the courage it
in those days beat such through for
labor is forgotten the sacrifices dust in the wind
to those who now advance THE cause" at pink teas
and other social functions.
Labor would do well to look into the qualifications
of all candidates before the leap.
We note that the Alaska Fishing News made no
great fuss about the Bartlett announcement and Sid
Charles may we'll have been remembering past records
Recently this paper in editorial discussing the
candidates said of the other Democratic candidate
A. H Ziegler:
1T can. be said of A. H. zieger he has good
background for Delegate to Congress. He knows the
score and does not trim Chs sails to meet the de-
mands of any pressure groups"

COP BIGWIGS MAY PICK
DEWEY

Latest secret strategy of eonser-
vative Republican bigwigs is to get
together sometime in April, decide
who the COP candidate should be
and organize a careful drive 70
nominate him on the first ballot
at the National Convention.
Those who would sit in on this
carefully conceived plan include
Herbert Hoover, Senator Bob Taft,
and Colonel BERTHE" Mccormick of
the Chicago Tribune.
The idea behind it is that, if
there is deadlock at, the conven-
ton, it will give a black eye to the
party and get the COP Presidential
campaign off to bad start. They
want to capitalize on the fact that
Roosevelt is in continual hot water
with his own party and that the
country is sick of political bicker-
ing. The Republicans want to pre-
sent the electorate with a picture
of blissful COP harmony
The last thing they want, there
fore, is the showdown which now
looks so ominously likely between
the progressive Willkie forces and
the reactionary Dewey wing of the
party.
The man the bigwigs are most
likely to pick at this session is
Dewey
One trouble in the past has been
Colonel McCormicks vigorous OPP
position to him because of Dewey S
announcement favoring an alliance
with Great Britain However
friends who recently talked with
the isolationist Colonel in the Tri-
bune Tower found him now open
mind regarding Dewey Mrs. Ruth
Hanna Mccormick Sims, widow of
the late Senator Medill Mccormick
had come back from visit to Al
bany where she apparently found
Governor Dewey to be isolationist
enough to suit her.
If Dewey is the final choice of
COP bigwigs, then they will ar
range TO have him make some i'm
portant speeches in May, talking
not as an avowed candidate, but
giving his views on the state of
the nation as an American citizen

HEART AND HOME: Gardening

is a subject to be widely discussed
by industrialists The stars seem to
presage a period of limited post
war restrictions.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Exaggerated
reports of labor troubles will inten-
sify the anxiety of servicemen. Po-
litical differences regarding vital
issues will also disturb our fight

CANADIANS SEIZE
RAVENNA AND FOE
RUNS TO LAMONE

ROME, Dec. 5.-LP)-Hard strik-
ing Canadian forces have smashed
through the center of German Adj
ratio defenses and captured RAJ
VIENNA, the Allied high command
announced today, forcing the Nazis
to flee to the west bank OF the
Lamone river, six miles west.
A brilliant ercircling movement
yesterday enabled the Canadians to
capture the one-time capital of the
ancient Ostrogoths without fight
and thus preserve its ancient treas
ures unchanged.
The bulk of Field Marshal Albert
Kesselring's forces which held the
Ravenna area were believed al
ready well behind TIL Lamone,
which is expected to be the Ger.
mans next important defense line.
Such a line would have its left
flank on the shores of a big lagoon
ca1le.. Valli di Comacchio i n t o
which the Lamone flows.
The Eighth now is in position
where breakthrougn across the
Lamone, if exploited swiftly, would
outflank the enemy's whole defense
system around Faenza, southeast
of Ravenna.
The announcement of the fall Of
Ravenna was the first official dis
closure that Canadian forces were
experimenting the p u n C h through
tine German defenses in the Adri-
ofic
