The Sixteen Year Limit
(NeW York Tinesl


 Sixteen years seems to be as long as the American electorate or the American system of choosing Rep resentayes will stand the rule of either major party in the lower House of Congress. The House Democrats have just been reduced to minority after ns length of time That is to say, they had contl oiled Tor fourteen years as an elected majority In 1881 they mustered only 21d seats the Republicans 220, but because of deaths on the Republican side they were able to organize the House in that year. The Re pubcans had their own sixteen years between 1895 and 1911 They had fourteen years between 1861 and 1875.
 What happened at the end Of each Of these long periods may or may not have significance for the future Tn 1890 the Republicans lost for y-seven seats Rightly or wrongly, the voters were blaming them for the 1929 depression In 1892 the! lost an additional 103 seats and MT. Roosevelt wss elected President Tn 1910 there had been relatively minor depression Progressive Republicans were dissatisfied with President Taft and the Republican al op in that year 219 to l62 probably forecast the election of Wilson In 1874 the crlsading spirit of 1861 worn down. there had been scandals in the two Grant Ad- ministrations there were hard times and the Re- pubcans lost niney-sx Two years later Tilden actually received larger popular vote tha the Re- publican Hayes, though Hayes was finally awarded the Presidency by an electoral commission voting on straight party lines to 2.

Territorial Department of Health has recently purchased a new ser- ies of 60 lantern slides 2l2 by 4 inches and accompanying pamph- lets which make up visual educa- ton course for young people on venereal diseases treated as com municable diseases.
 Title of the study unit is Some Dangerous Communicable Diseases" Issued by the American Social Fly giene Association, the series is plan ned as a project in visual educa- tion, but is adaptable to lecture and textbook methods. It is being made available on loan from the Territorial Department of Health to any high school or teen-age group.
 This special short unit of study in Health Education consists of three or four visual lectures, outlining what maturing youth in America ought to know about the venereal diseased in relation to personal and family health. q

DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AHEAD

There is every indication that when the Territorial Legislature meets next January it will be faced with one of the toughest sessions in years, with almost every department in need of more funds for the next biennium and tax resources at low ebb.
 In the field of education, alone, budget require ments for the l947-49 biennium will demand an in- crease of approximately three million dollars This is
 huge figure when it is compared to the total budget for all departments of less than six million for the current bennium.
 The University of Alaska will ask for almost million more than was allowed for current operations. Increases are seen in operating expenses salaries and needed expansion.
 The Department of Educator, in spite of several increases in teachers salaries has not been able to keep pace with the rising cost of living. All over Alaska teachers are having a difficult time making both ends meet, and many are leaving before the school year expires Other expenses in educating our children have increased accordingly and about two million dollars will be needed if the Department is to function normally for the next two years
 Department of Public Welfare funds have been insufficient to carry the relief program through this

 ?. In the 1887 trial it came out that, in 1892, Lewis apparently had been in cahoots with the Illinois coal operators; because they knev at 7:30 am. on August 10 that the miners were going back to work that same day, even though the theft of the ballots from the Ridge ly Farmers State Bank did not take place until 9:05 of that morning, It was that same day, after the ballot theft, that Lewis declared an emergency and signed the con- tract with the operators.

year, and drastic cuts already have been pit into effect will be strong pressure brought to bear to increase pension aotments to keep pace with living costs and additional relief problems antit ipated during the next two years
 Mere money will also be sought for Alaskas veterans-present funds are deemed insufficient.
 More money will be asked for the Department of Labor as result of expenses brought about thror gh the passage of the new Workmens Compensate Act. The Governor has had to dip into his emergency fund for expenses this year for that purpose
 Increased costs will undoubtedly necessita.e an increase in the budget for the Pioneers Hon at Sitka
 On top of it all will be Board of Budget recom- mendation for blanket IA per cent salay increase for all Territorial employees practically all of whom paid less than other office workers who are doing the same jobs.
 Where will the money for all this co me from? That's the problem that will have the legisat ors sweat ing next January.

Landlords of all Alaska's hotels and rooming houses now registered with the Rent Division of the Alas ka OPA are receiving written mo- tice of an important new require ment of the Rent Regulation for Hotels and Booming Houses.
 By an anendment, effective ear lier this month, the Regulation is now changed in accordance with requirement. of the Emergency Price Control Act as renewed in July of this year. Under this newest amendment, the Alaska OPA Rent Office has heen directed to classify the various categories of rental housing in Alaska subject to the Rent Regulation fer Hotels and Rooming Houses.
 In order to make this classifi- cation it is necessary that all land lords of such establishments should file supplemental registration lLtGCIIlClll hllti lllC H1ictsoAeA VI A Office in Juneau, not later than December 31.

ended with 21 Illinois miners kill ed, several hundred shot and thou sands beaten.
 Most significant revelation of all is the fact that Lewis on occasion spent as much as s35O,o00 of min CTS dues without their permission or advance knowledge to pay a coal operator to close down, thus forcing 500 miners out of work.

LEWIS IN CAHCOTS WITH
 OPERATORS

Though all evidence pointed to the fact that this second vote also was against the new contract, Lew is, later that day, declared an emergency and signed the contract on behalf of the miners. He then ordered the men back to work
 This was on Aug. 10, 1882 From that date until 1887, bloody war fare continued between Lewis and the miners who opposed him. the latter eventually becoming the Progressive Miners. IL was during this prolonged battle that 2l of the anl-LeWis miners were killed.
 The Progressive Miners retaliated as best they could. but Lewis had the advantage. He had just con- tributed half million dollars to the reelection of Roosevelt in 1886 So, in 1937 an FBI agent, George Stevens, came to Illinois and be- gan collecting evidence against LeWis's miner rivals for conspiracy to interfere with interstate com merce and the U $. mails.
 The FBI agent was followed by special prosecutor from the Jus tice Department, Welly K Hop- kins, who finally succeeded in send ing 4l of the Progressive Miners to jail. This ended the battle With the Justice Department be- hind him, Lewis had won an i'm portant victory, However. there

the blackest chapters of ruthless Lewis Warfare, with John L. vlr- tually telling the Justice Depart ment what to do. Scene Of the battle was the Illinois coal fields, right in LeWis's own hailiwick. Per hapS it was personal pride which made him determined to come out on top with the miners close to his home at Springfield. Perhaps also it was because these miners knew Lewis well that they fought him so bitterly.
 The battle lasted the best part of a decade. It began in 1929 when John Walker was president of the Illinois Federation of Labor and Harry Fishwick was president Of District 12 of the United Mine Workers. Illinois miners had been getting restless under Lewis's high handed methods, so in retaliation he removed all District 12 off, cials without even the pretense of a trial Appointing his own stooges, he sent them to take over Spring field headquarters under an armed guard
 Despite this, the duly elected District officials refused to step down. A bitter struggle followed, with the courts finally ruling that Lewis had no right to interfere in the affairs of District 12.
 Finally, in 1882, Lewis negotiated a new contract with the Illinois coal operators. In those days, however, miners did not accept : LeWis's dictation without question. They voted on their contracts. And in this case, they voted Lewis and his new contract down.
 Lewis then ordered another bal lot and this time a set of ballots stored all night at the Ridgely Farmers State Bank were taken out b. two Lewis henchmen and des- trcyed The henchmen alibiet that they had been robbed

LEWIs's RAWEsT DEAL

Those who know Lewis consider i his use cf union dues to pay a mine owner to close down as about the rawest thing he has ever pull ed.
 The facts leaked out when the Treasury Department conducted an income tax probe of John L. Lewis and almost moved to indict him.
 On May 12, 1887, the Mine B Coal Company at Springfield, H., closed down and remained closed until November, 1889. During this time Lewis paid the mine operator, Carl Elshoff, around S350,Goo as compensation to remain closed
 The reason Lewis wanted to ciCse Mine B was to throw his hated Ii- vals. the Progressive Miners. out of work. Around 500 miners had been employed by Elshoff and when the National Labor Rela- tions Board held an election, the vote was 404 to 25 against joining Lewis'S union.
 Following this overwhelming de- feat, Lewis got Mine B to close, and the Progressive Miners found themselves out of jobs. That was their reward for voting against him.
 The amazing fact that Lewis paid out more than quarter of a million dollars of mine workers dues to close down a coal mine came to light when Treasury in- spectors noted the s350,OO0 pay ment to Elshoff in the Lewis United Mine Workers income tax statement. Lewis carefully covered himself by chalking this up as a loan"
 The Treasury, howbYer. did not view it in this light and was about 10 start income tax prosecution when advisers warned that this would only make Lewis martyr and that 6 jury probably woulc not convict. Tn the end, plans foi prosecution were dropped.

CERDhN-ADRAMS BOUT EXPECTED
 TO DRAW 17,000

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The highly publicized Marcel Cerdan, French middleweight champion, opens a campaign designed to capture the world 160 pound title when he faces Georgia Abrams of Washing ten, a top contender, in his Ameri- can debut tonight at Madison Square Garden.
 Never knocked out, never decis- tened and never knocked off his feet, the rugged French sailor from Casablanca appears to have cap tured the imagination of the fight fans who are expected to turn out l7000 strong and make possible a S90,000 gate.
 Abrams, also an ex-sailor with almost four years in the U S. Navy, rates near the top of the heap reaching for Tony Zale's title by his upset victory over Slugger Steve Belloise last summer.

 Coasters charges followed the Employers submission of a new re- quest to striking AFL Checkers un- ion in lieu of a scheduled concilia- tion meeting.

Satellite Treaties Virtually Completed as Russia
 Makes Concessions
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER


 l NEW YORK, Dec. 6-After more lthan a year of conferences sharp ened by many bitter disputes be- tween Russia and the Western Powers, the Council of Foreign Ministers today counted the Flu ropean satellite peace treaties vir- tually completed due mainly to sweeping last-minute concessions by Soviet Minister V. M Molotov {, Final agreement on outstanding 1 issues was not reached however, ; until Secretary of State James F. Byrnes had reluctantly accepted a proposal that Italy pay a total of $360,o0c 900 in reparations - $35.- 000,0000 more than the Paris Peace Conference had recommended. Today in a session scheduled for A p. m. the Big Four was due to clean up a number of relatively minor unsettled points and to act on a report from their Naval Com mittee presumably concerning the distribution Of the Italian fleet among Italy and the victorious AL lied powers.
 It was Big Four Session last night which finally swept away the last points of dispute of any con- sequence and made 1t possible for diplomats participating in the Coun- cil's work to predict that the treat ies for Italy, Rumania, Bulgaria, !. Hungary and Finland would be finally completed not later than Saturday afternoon. The Council is then expected to move on to a preliminary discussion of a German settlement Monday.
 Here are the outstanding de- ,cisions made last night:
 l. Reparations-Italy is to pay "a total of $360 900 ,00O-$125. .000 ,000 Ito Yugoslavia. $l05, ,O00, ,O0o to Greece, $100,0C0000 to Russia, $25, 100000 to Ethiopia and $5,o0o,OoO to Albania.
 Bulgaria is to pay a total of $70,0O0,000 covering 25,coo,00o to Yugoslavia and S45, GOO o0O to Greece so that Greece and Yugoslavia will each receive $150,000O O00.
 Byrnes was the last of the four to accept this distribution of re- parations payments because of the additional financial burden on Italy.
 ?. Compensation for Allied pro- perty destroyed in Italy-Italy is to pay Allied citizens at the rate of 66 2-3 percent of value.
 g. Danube Navigation Molo- toy, yielding point which he had contested for months, agreed to in- clude in the Balkan treaties a guarantee of free use of the Dan- ube River.
