JUNEAU, March 26.—Attorney
General Grigsby this afternoon re
turned an opinion to the house on the
proposed eight-hour law which is up
for passage which limits the hours of
employment in all underground lode
mines, underground placer mines, un
derground coal mines, and in all un
derground workings of any nature
whatsoever. In the opinion Grigsby
holds that the bill is well drawn and
that there is now no doubt of the
power of the legislature to limit the
hours of employment in those work
ings. He stated that similar laws had
been passed in all sections of the
United States and that these laws
have been upheld, even when taken to
the supreme court of the United
States.
Minor amendments were added to
the bill in the house, and an emer
gency clause, which makes it effective
on and after May 1,1917. There was
considerable discussion over this
clause as it was at first made effective
immediately. W. T. Burns, of Fair
banks, Nat Coombs, of Nome and
James Daly, of Nome opposed the
amendment on the grounds that it
would go into effect before many of
the outlying operators could become
aware that it was in effect. It was
finally pointed out that if the law be
came effective in 90 days, as it did last
year, it would work great hardships
on those placer operators who had
arranged their plans for ten-hour^
shifts and who would have to employ
more men in the middle of the season.
After discussing the matter at some
length it was decided that all operat
ors should be notified before the
start of the season and would have
ample time to receive notification of
the passage of the bill by May 1 and
the clause was added reading that
way.
Senator Sutherland in the senate
introduced a memorial to congress,
asking that they kill the proposed
Alexander bill which would take
from the territory the right'to tax the
fishing interests, would grant per
petual rights to fish trap sites which
would tend to make a monopoly pos
sible and which would also take large
tracts of shore land water from the
fishermen, barring them from fishing
within certain limits.
Senator Heckman introduced a
bill providing for the establishment of
fish hatcheries in the territory and
providing for the levying of a special
tax on the output'of canneries to pay
for their establishment and mainten
ance. The bill also provides for a
board of fish commissioners for the
territory, the cost to be paid out of
the additional taxes levied and defin
ing their duties. They are to have
general supervision of the canneries
for the territory and oversee and
maintain the fish hatcheries. The dis
bursing of the funds will be in their
hands.

JUNEAU, Alaska, March 18.—An
earnest plea for a substitute for sa
loons is made by the Douglas Wom
en’s club to the territorial legislature.
A resolution, passed the other day by
the women’s organization of Douglas
island, has been presented both to
the senate and the house. Whether
a bill will grow out of the proposal or
not is to be seen.
The petition, which is signed by
the officers of the club, reads as fol
lows:
The passage of a bill for the es
tablishment and conduct of a terri
torial club room in each incorporated
I town and other camps throughout the
! territory as a substitute for the li
i censed saloon which ceases to exist
on the first day of January, next.
There are, as you well know, in al
most every town and community in
Alaska, a large majority of good
workmen of financial means, single
i unattached men. who have no evening
DECIDE TO
Enthusiasm over dog racing: may
die out; skiing may become monoton
ous and unattractive; even the inter
est in basketball may wane and grow
less, and other sports will reign spas
modically, but the interest and en
thusiasm in baseball is national and
will go on forever.
Last night’s meeting of the Cook
Inlet Baseball league, held at the Bank
of Alaska, and attended by the direc-!
tors and team managers, was no ex
ception to the rule.
The questtion as to the number of :
teams to be allowed in the league has
caused considerable comment by the
public and to get a more definite ex
pression the directors of the league ;
asked the managers to attend the1
meeting and voice their sentiments on
this particular question and at the
same time designate the teams. ' The.
following team managers were pres
ent : George B. I’ui-vis, representing
the City team; C. K. Breck, the Mata
nuska Farmers; D. B. VanDerlip, for
F. A. Hansen, Turnagain Arm; Roy
Mills, the Anchorage department of
the A. E. C.; J. H. Sheets, the Sham-!
rocks, and Chauncey Peterson, appear
ed in behalf of a number of local play-]
ers. The individual opinions were
unanimous and are now a matter of
record. The question of what teams
were entitled to membership was
peacefully settled by Jack Robarts
withdrawing the Shamrocks in favor
of Manager Hansen and at the same
time pledging his unqualified support
to the City team. The directors were ;
of one opinion in regard to the Sham-J
rocks, who would have had the prefer- j
ence on account of the showing the i
team made last season and the sports- ■
manlike action of Mr. Robarts was ap- j
predated.
In executive session the directors j
voted to form a four-team league com
prised of the City, Matanuska, Tum
again Arm and A. E. C. with instruc
tions to the managers to prepare a
season’s schedule to be submitted to
the board at a later date.
George B. Purvis was duly recog
nized as official manager of the City
team, which is final. The city admin
istration has morally pledged its sup
port to the league’s ruling and will
recognize the schedule as official, and
further will do everything consistent
towards the advancement of baseball.
Everything points to a successful sea
son and the schedule will be inaugur
ated by May the 15th on the local
grounds.
resort wherein to congregate, talk,
read and otherwise amuse thmselves
during leisure moments, outside of the
saloon, the red-light quarters and the
cabins of the natives.
Large numbers of such men, par
ticularly new-comers, so we are in
formed, patronize these last-mention
ed places chiefly because there is no
other welcoming shelter for them dur
ing the severe winters.
We believe these men should be
given kindly consideration, as their
presence is necessary in the develop
ment of the territory, and their mor
al character and good citizenship are
valuable elements in the upbuilding
of our Alaskan Empire.
We believe such proposed club
rooms, conducted as non-partisan,
non-sectarian, rest rooms for men, of
fering shelter, warmth, necessary con
veniences, soft drinks, hot coffee and
facilities for one or more games j
which do not involve credit or dis
credit, would fill a tremendous need
throughout the territory, and would
have a tendency to prevent insanity in
remote settlements.
We further believe that such club
rooms might be made self-supporting
in a short period of time.
