TINE RECENT CODE initiated by
i leaders of the AT of l., the
United States Chamber OF Com
merce and the Clio is high-sound-
ing, perfectly well-meaning and
equally perfectly innocuous docu-
ment.
Some have referred to II ~ .
blue print for industrial peace In
the postwar period. II seems to
me that. aside from the obvious
window dressing. the C6de>mere-
ly binds Management to observe
Labor's statutory right to orga-
nize and bargain collectively -
a right which Is guaranteed and
enforced by law and does not
need the lip-service which Man
agement gives IL in the proposed
Code.
On the other hand, Managements
desire for undiSputed control over
the productive processes Of Ameri-
can industry would be assured UNI
der this Code by Labor's agree

had always thought that the
essence of any voluntary undertake

to the other some right or peroga-

then the question persists what has
Management conceded that Labor

Two of the basic disrupting in

solved by the proposed Code. The

GOOD ROADS AND THE

BY CHARLES NJ. UPHAM

ASsocia tiOn

II i an axiom to declare that II
costs less TO drive over good roads
than over bad ones. People Will ac-
cept your word for that statement.
But the actual spread between the
cost of operating over good roauS
and over bad is far greater than
the average person suspects
We would like TO refer you to an
eminent authority on the subject
the rural letter carrier. he knows
all about roads. good and Dad, lor
he and 32.120 OF his fellows daily
drive 1900 900 miles over all KINDS
of roads. Most of this tremendous
mileage is what we know as secon-
dary or farm-to-market roads.
Rural carriers use three MAIN
types of roads, dirt. gravel, ana
paved. Records kept by carriers III
Indiana and Iowa show these
operating costs per mile:
Earth roads .........t.S cents
Gravel roads >.......4.3 cents
Pavement ....3.S cents
These figures make a strong
preachment for the advantages o
good roads over bad. Take a DIR
road-often impossible at certain
times of the year and add grave
and YOU cut costs almost in hall
Then pave the gravel highway an'
YOU have another appreciable re

YOU blame the rural letter carrier

to travel? And just SO some doubt

son is based on trick conditions. lt
us point out that some 300 carrier
drove some 100000 miles TO MAX
that comparison.
About three years ago. the Ma

TOGETHER AGAIN" CHARMING FEATURE. SHOWING, CAPITOL

The magical words for film-goers, Together Again" are currently on the marquee of the Capitol Theatre and the magic which is happening inside on the screen is electrifying. Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer are in the hit. And along with them this time is Charles Coburn.
 Irene Dunne, as the small town Vermont mayor who goes to New York to contract for statue of her dead husband and contacts Charles Boyer; Charles Coburn, as her crot- chety father -in-law who thinks she needs love and silly hat more than her civic virtue; Charles Boyer, as the sculptor who wants to mold her in his arms as he does the clay in his hands. none of these players has ever been more captivating. With delft comedy touch and timing, they move from one smart comedy scene to another, all the while having re- spect for the verities under the ex- pert guidance of director tVidor.
 They alone are enough to enter tain on any theatres screen. But along with their enticsment goes that of the rest of the cast. Mona Freeman, as the mayors daughter, who also falls for Boyer. brings her fresh charm as welcome addition to the younger players who will be taking the place of today's stars.

ABATEMENT OF 2SITkA BAWDY
 HOUSES SOUGHT
Actions Are Filed 10 Close Places of Maude Ander-
 son, Ruby Hdzelwood

Assistant U. S. Attorney Robert l.. Tollefson filed two actions here with the Clerk of the U. s. District Court this morning both seeking abatement of houses of prostitution at Sitka.
 The two actions were entered in the name of the Territory of Alaska and concern bawdy houses that have figured prominently in criminal trial reports during the past year.
 The actions were filed against: The Swan Lake Inn. Sitka. and Ruby Hazelwood, its owner; the Lakeview Cottage, Sitka, and Maude Ander- son, it's owner, and Gladys Stanley. holder of a contract for installment purchase.
 Asking abatement as public nuis- ances, the complaints against the two houses in Sitka charge in identi- cal language that they are used, operated and maintained for tha purpose of lewdness. asslgnation anu RkOotlJutAOAi
 Coincident with abatement, the complaints ask: Temporary restrain CT of continuance of such public nuisance; closure for one year fol- lowing entry of judgment and that the defendants be perpetually en- joined from maintaining a bawdv house any place within the First Judicial Division of Alaska.
 The Swan Lake Inn gained notor- iety as the scene of rnuch-public- ized burglary of trunk owned by Mrs. Hardwood and containing ! $12,000 in cash. Convictions against l four participants in the burglary were obtained earlier this year. Most prominent figure in the case was Cleo Patricia Wilkins, prosti- tnte, now serving prison sentence as the ringleader.
 Maude Anderson, then sole oper- ator of the Lakewood Cottage, was also convicted at the Spring Term here this year and at present is at liberty on bond awaiting appeal of her White Slavery conviction.
