WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Organ- ized labor threw its hat into the political ring today.
 The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor, to- gether with the heads of all depart ments of the Federation at noon to- day had formulated plans for the most aggressive political campaign the Federation has ever waged.
 It was unofficially, but reliably stated that the campaign would be conducted in connection with the general elections of November, and will be aimed at all candidates for President, Congress, Governors of States and any other candidate thought unfair to labor"
 The Federation will ask every trade craft affiliated with the par snt organization to carry the fight into every section of the country, and to elect only officials who nrenly pledge their support to la Dor as governed by unions \ Ss~~ sasss s
 The treasury of the Federation will be opened to finance the ex- perses of a vast army of organiz- CTS and workers who will conduct the campaign.

If Germans Refuse Extradi- ton, Troops Will Occupy Valley Permanently-Hol- land Not to Give Up Kali ser-Swiss Would Furnish Tribunal.

PARIS, Feb 6.-It was learned to- day that the allies probably will ex- ercise their right, under the peace treaty, of occupying the left bank of the Rhine indefinitely, if the Ger mans break the treaty clauses by refusing to surrender German lead CTS wanted for trial.
 Complications entered the situa- ton caused by the allied govern ment's demands for the extradtion of German war leaders today when Holland newspapers unanimously de clared the extraditions were i'm possible"
 The Dutch sentiment as apparently authoritatively expressed by the newspaper articles, is a plain indica- tion that The Hague will decline the second allied demand for the surren der of the Kaiser for trial.
 From Berlin came an account of a newspaper interview in the Vos sches Zeitung with Franz von Bulow former field marshal, one of the former Emperor's favorite generals who said that the extradition was an ignominy to which no German would voluntarily submit" General Bulow said the German leaders named on the list did their duty to the Fatherland."
 The Zeitung editorially said Ger many would probably be willing to surrender the leaders wanted. if the allies would agree to their trial by a neutral tribunal. If the allies agree to this the Swiss stand ready to arrange the tribunal. it is reported

CUSTOMS REPORT FOR b1s SHOWS
 TRADE DECLINE Imports and Exports Fall Off-Salmon Pack Was
 Very Light HERRING TRADE IS HEAVY .TexritaxlE Still Riebal Trade, Averaging $l ,OO0
 For Individual
HERRING TRADE IS HEAVY

The tota, commerce of Alaska for
 1919 was valued at $109, 1889, a de crease of $17,396,79 793 from the total of
 1918, according to the annual report of the Collector of Customs for the District of Alaska, which was coIn- pleted this week The total for IBIS was $127 7,049,132.
 The total exports from Alaska for 1919 were valued at $70.695, ,080, de- crease from the previous year D. $14,72S,4SS. The imports to the Ter
 ritory in 1919 were $3S.957 ,253, de crease from 1918 of $2,66S,305.
 Explanatory and in revie" Of tie , ears developments, the report says; While the record of the commerce of Alaska for 1919 showed con-
 tinued decline. being the smallest since 1915 in the total value ot ship rnents to and from the United States, the situation disclosed is by ID means discouraging, and shere are features which carry the pron ise O. better coming conditions. Tha vol ugie of commerce is still very large perhaps larger per capita than that O. any other section of the world The balance of trade in fsver of Alaska was more than $31,000,06' - approximately $1,000 for each wh t9 mar, woman and child in the T.. + toIy-indicating very healthy com,
 mercial and industrial condition. Immigration chows Gain The figures which tell of the com ing and going to and from Alaska show that the preponderance of e.n igration over immigration, which was the marked feature of conditions in 1917 and 1918, has. at last. been stopped. The balance was on the side of immigration. The rec ord SHOWS that during the calendar year 24,273 persons came to Alaska while
 those departing numbered 23,9G2-a net gain of 371 The record for 1917
 was 23.030 arrivals and 31,259 dcpar lures, and that for 1918 showed 19.
 O40 arrivals and 27,732 departures = net loss in two years of nearly 13.000
 The shrinkage in the value of the shipments to the United States fol 1919 from the value of those for 1918 approximately fourteen and a hall million dollars, was due mostly tc the $7,951 900 decrease in copper
 shipments and the $6,495, ,000 decline in the canned salmon shipments. The reduction in the value of the canned salmon shipped from Alaska | in 1919 was due wholly to the fact
 that the run of salmon last year ir practically all parts of the Territor,
 was very light and the salmon pack
 the smallest it had been for five years.
 The reduction in the giianttt5
 of copper shipped from Alaska lr 1919 was due to the collapse of the
 co~per market early in the yenl
 which caused conner rrotreers r
