Of Supreme Court

try anti labor relations during the
interim of adjustment.
Meanwhile Senator Black of Ala
bama held out his thirty-hour week
bill to the administration leaders as
a way out of the dilemna. He con
tended that the NRA had been de
stroyed beyond all hopes of resus
citation, but that his proposal had
not been touched by the decision of
the Supreme Court, and was now
the only method for regulating hours
of work.
The cost of the NRA to the gov
ernment and industry per year has
been fifty-five million dollars. Sen
ator Frazier, co-author of the Farm
Mortgage Moratorium Law, which
was wiped out by the court’s deci
sion. expressed little hope that new
legislation meeting the court's ob
jections, could be passed. Gloomily,
lie predicted that the mortgage hold
ers who had been influenced by the
law to reduce their claims, would
now "go back to foreclosing.”
He said that it was the duty of
the debt-burdened farmers to or
ganize to save their homes. Some
leaders among the administration
forces indicated that proposed am
endments would be re-written in an
attempt to save them from the same
Supreme Court scythe, that mowed
down the NRA.

On City Affairs
The Nome City Council met last
i night in regular session and trans
| acted several affairs of business
coming up at that time
All councilmen were present.
Councilmen Seidenverg and Polet
'were appointed on a committee to
draw up a program for Cleanup
Week in Nome. They are prepar
ing such a project and the period
during which irt will be irt effect will
probably be announced tomorrow.
The new fire engine and pump
has been installed and the equip
ment borrowed from the Hammon
Company returned, according to the
report of the fire committee.
The street committee reported
several places where the streets
were in bad shape, but the council
decided it was too soon to start
spreading gravel in frozen spots,
and gravel pits were still frozen.
The matter was postponed.
City Attorney Sullivan made a re
port on certain proposals communi
cated to the council by E. B. O’Con
nor regarding the possibilities of a
municipal power plant. The matter
of the franchise issued to the Alaska
Light and Power Co., the predeces
sor of the present Northern Light
and Power Co., and various other
legal phases of jurisdiction by a city
council were reported by the city
attorney. The council took no ac
tion on his report and laid Mr. O'
Connor's communication to one side.
Mr. O'Connor spoke at some len
gth on his communication, at anoth
er time during the meeting, point
ing several times to other Alaskan
cities which had installed in var
ious ways, municipally owned pow
er projects.
The proposal of the appointment
of a night policeman or patrolman
was brought before the council and
various remarks made by members,
who concurred in the opinion that
such a move was not necessary at
this time. The proposal was post
poned until the arrival^ of the first
boats and dependent upon any sub
sequent change in conditions.
The applications of Leo Seiden
verg, Herbert Greenberg and Sol
Lewis, John Lepri, Albert Therry,
Pioneer Drug Co., Jack Devine, and
Jack Solomon, for liquor licenses,
were all approved by the council.
Several lots were sold to private
individuals, all of them outside of
the burned area. Other applica
tions for lots in some instances were
referred to committees.
The Chief of the Fire Department
sent in a written requisition for
numerous articles required and the
fire committee was instructed in
most instances to see that they were
obtained.
The suggestions made by R. T.
Gridley, PWA Administrator in Al
aska, were taken up by the council,
which authorized the Mayor to ob
tain as soon as possible the services
of a competent civil engineer, for
the laying out of the public works
to be done in Nome Jthis summer, if
the president signs the bill, authoriz
ing the city of Nome to bond itself
in any sum not to exceed $70,000.
Suggestions for the improving of
traffic and parking conditions in
Nome were brought up and the mat
ters suggested were referred to the
law, ordinance and printing com
rmttee.
The matter of beach mining being,
carried on on the shores of Bering!
Sea in the near proximity of the j
Main street of Nome was mentioned
by City Attorney Sullivan and a
committee was appointed to observe
what danger might develop if too
much of the sand and soil was re
moved from in front of the street,
in the event of a coming storm.
Fred Yenney, representing the
Industrial Workers of Alaska ap
peared before the council and re
quested a copy of the list of names
of those persons who signed a labor
census in Nome some weeks ago,
which had been taken for the pur
pose of obtaining a figure with which
the need for labor would be in Nome
this summer. After discussion of
the purpose of the census and the i
purpose to which it was reported it
was to be used, the council refused
Mr. Yenney’s request.
No further business coming before
the meeting, the council adjourned
to meet in regular session, June 10th
