Canada May Close Haines Cutoff

WASHINGTON, (Ht - Reports that Canada plans to close on March 25 the Haines Cutoff on the Alaska Highway, constructed by the United States army, brought a protest by Senator Magnuson O. WashD to the state department to- day.
 The cutoff runs from the main highway ll9 miles to the Alaska boundary and then 42 miles into the Territory, ending at Haines. The town has become a shipping point for goods going into other sections of the Territory which are routed to the main highway and back into Alaska. The Cana dian section of the cutoff passes through British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.
 Magnuson wrote Secretary of State Marshall that he had re- understood the interior department also had been informed of the plan.
 'This cutoff road" Magnuson print and paper supply from Alas kan sources"
 VISITOR
 ESkil Anderson, formerly with the Territorial Department of Mines, Fairbanks, was a recent visitor to Delegate Bartlett'S office. MT. Anderson is now working in the east but hopes to return to Alaska before too long.

Two-Fisted Killer!

A bedraggled looking man en-
tered a fy-infested bar room and
spoke quietly to the bartender.
Give me drink" he said, land
III kill every fly in the place!" The
bartender agreed that he thought it
reasonable and set a drink before
him. Making short work of it, the
hobo started to edge toward the
door.
Hey, you, come back here"
shouted the bartender. "You said
you'd kill every fly in the place."
"And so I WILL" said the hobo,
rolling up his sleeves and stepping
outside. ''Send them out one at a
time"

Keep Union Shop
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 10.-Long-
term agreements, designed to cir
cumvent Gov. Tuck's "right-to-
work" legislation enacted at the
recent session of the General Assem-
bly,, were recommended by the State
Federation of Labor to its affiliated
unions yesterday as means Q pre-
serving existing union shop advan-
tages.
Affiliated unions were urged to ne
gotiate such 1ong-term agreements
before the effective date of the
''Right-to-Work" Act, which pro-
vides that no person shall be denied
or granted employment by virtue of
union membership.
Two sample agreements, identical
in content but varying in form to
meet local conditions, were suggested
by the federation, acting through its
Executive Board. The board con-
yened Saturday night and remained
in session all day yesterday.
j. S. Smith, federation president,
said the purpose of the plan is to
permit organized labor in Virginia
to negotiate union shop agreements
that will remain in effect after the
"Right-to-Work" Act becomes effec-
tive April 30. After that date, agree
ments requiring union membership
as basis of employment will be
outlawed. The act becomes effective
80 days after the adjournment of
the Assembly on January 49,
The board accepted so local
unions as afiiliates and eight others,
formerly affliates, were readmitted
to membership in the federation.
The combined membership Of the
new members, Mr.. Smith said, Is
about 10000 workers.
Seventeen of the new affiliates are
local unions of the United Mine
Workers.
The board agreed to conduct a
campaign among its affiliated or
ganizations for funds with which
to conduct labor's defense against
recently enacted anti-labor laws
and to defend the right of the work.
ers to bargain collectively with
their employers" Contributions to
this fund, it was stated, will be on
a voluntary basis.
The federation again urged its
members to pay their poll taxes
and qualify to. vote in the August
primary.
May 1914, inclusive, was set as
the dates for the annual convention
of the federation at Richmond.

eder Workers. Spued Flood Uncle Sam With Their Advice

One suggestion, which was re-
jected, might interest Washington
residents anxious to get rid of the
the official observed. Birds
at Ascension Island in 1914 would
roost on the air strip in such num-
bers that planes could not land
or take of. Jeeps with large brushes
attached were used to brush them
away. An employe suggested the In
stallation Of q generator ito give
of sound In frequency range OF
20 kifocycles," the theory being that
the birds would not like the noise
and keep away.
The idea was examined by civilian
electrical engineers In the United
States and ZOO experts. The engi-
neers did not know whether q sound
annoying to the birds could be gem
Grated, and the experts were not
sure the birds would be annoyed.
