LUXURY GAMBLING SHIP TURNED BACK
 FOR NAVAL DUTY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-It looks as if the s. s. Bunker Hill, alias the Lux which had a respectable start in life as a Naval minelayer, is going back to military duty again.
 The gambling barge, seized from Tony Cornero Stralla, was ordered by Federal Judge William c. Ma thes turned over to the U. s. Coast Guard for use by the Treasury Department. The court affirmed seizure of the Bunker Hill some weeks ago, and ordered it's gamb- ling equipment destroyed.
 And what of the 36,o00 shiny silver dollars seized on the ship and claimed by Stiella?
 Well, Judge Mathes ordered them impounded for payment of court costs, marshal's fees and possible Federal taxes If anything is left over, presumably Tony will get it.

Juneau Merchants Making proiesis 10
 Demarage Charges
Meeting Held Here with Definite Action Decided
 10 Be Taken

Juneau merchants were up in arms today over bills for demur- rage they have been receiving along with freight bills covering ship ments on. the steamers North Sea and Alaska. These bills include dcmmrage charges for freight which had been tied up on Seat tle docks through the long maritime strike.
 Before shippers here are permit ted to take delivery of their freight, they are required to pay the at tached demurrage charges These were imposed by the dock compan- ies in Seattle and range ill most eases frcm 90 to 100 days. The charge amounts to cents per ton ; per day.
 Merchants here were particular ly hitter about these charges inas- much as they found it impossible to reclaim from the docks in Seat tie freight which had been deliver ed there. Many merchants sought 10 regain possession of their ship ments in order to route them via Prince Rupert during the strike. Although they were not able to get the cargo off the docks, 1t now appears they were expected to continue paying demuTage through the long strike.
 Representatives of the Board of Directors of the Juneau Merchants Association met here yesterday aft ernoon to discuss the matter wlt!i the Governor and other officials It was decided that the bills for demurrage will be assembled and totalled and a protest against the imposing of these charges filed with the United States Maritime Commission, which on January 22 will open a hearing at Seattle on terminal charges there.
 Claude Smith, PresiGen, O. the Juneau Merchants Association, de- clared local merchants considered the demurrage charges wholly un- justified in view of the reason for the demmrage; namely, that the goods were impounded due to a la bcr dispute over which Alaskans had no control whatever.
 This is one of many reasons why the merchants of Alaska are aggressively supporting new source of supply which will be per- manent and regular" Smith said.
 Other ports of Alaska are being contacted through their Merchants Associations on this same matter.
 Another source of grievance, eX- pressed by merchants at their meeting, was the matter of stand by charges on merchandise being delivered at the docks in Seattle and amounting to as high as S2G on a single 800-pound shipment. In many cases, the trucking charges at Seattle amounted to more than the freight between Seattle and Juneau
