ACTIONARY LEADERS WHO ARE WORKING
HAND IN HAND WITH THE BOSSES! It's
time to put an end to all the graft that is taking
place. It's time to understand that we workers are
the only ones entitled to living. It's time to see
that everything is against u.s. The capitalists and
all their hangerson are united against us. They've
got their police and their thugs and their militia,
and then the government md the u. S. troops to
use against us. It's time to see that we've got to
organize for something more than higher wages
and better conditions that the bosses always
counteract by raising the cost of living.
Favor Shop Councils
We workers have got to form our shop coun-
ellis to take over the industries we are operating.
We've got to put an end to exploitation. We've
got to serve notice on the bosses that we're done
with the present rbber system But we've got
to organize for it.

The following resolution was ad
opted with reference to the proposal
for Territorial compensation:
Whereas 1t has come to our know
ledge that a number of states nave
enacted legislation for the material
benefit of their returned ex-servIce
men and women, and
Whereas, some three thousand mer
representing the flower of Alaskaf
manhood laid down their pursuits
and various vocations over night tc
answer their country's call in the
preservation of its integrity as q
nation and the upholding of its prin
ciples of liberty and democracy, and
Whereas, many of the men going
into the service from Alaska, botf
on entering and returning therefrom-
incurred expenses incident to travel
which was not the case with the men
entering the service from the States
In many instances these men were
Obliged to personally defray such tina
Yelling expenses over distance Oh
one to five thousand miles for which
expenditure no reimbursement has
been made by the Federal govern
ment to date, and
Whereas, large percentage Of ex
service men, in addition to time spent
in the service, were at material
loss on account of losing part OF
the whole of at least one seasons
work due to the conditions OF the
Territory of Alaska which necessar
lily confines the working season to the
short summer months,
Now, therefore, be it unanimously
resolved by the Department of Alaska
of the American Legion in convention
assembled, that it is the duty of the
Territorial Legislature at its regular
session to take action and provide
some adequate legislation to equit'
ably compensate the ex-service men

ALASKA SCHOOLS I
WILL GET ESKA &
COAL MINE PROFITS

Secretary of the Interior Payne
has ruled that all the profits from

an appeal by Gov Thomas Riggs,

the Commissioner of the General

two sections in each township re-

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, Oct. 18.-A more optim- istic feeling seemed to prevail in the raw sugar market today and prices were higher, with buyers showing "a little more interest. There were sales of about 5000 bags of Barbadoes centrifugals in port at cents late week and additional purchases of 5000 bags of Brazil centrifugals, 95 test for November shipment at 2 cents eff were reported. This latter sale was equivalent to 2 3-S for Cubas cost and freight and while no business was reported in Cubas, 1t was said operators were bidding 2 1-2 cost and freight, equal to $50 for centrifugal, with nothing offered, which would seem to indicate the financial situation in Cuba was im- proving.
 There was no change in refined prices in the local market, which Is at II cents for fine granulated The demand continues good, and brokers said it showed signs of broadening.
 The strength in raws caused a sharp covering movement in futures and, with considerable buying by a leading trade interest and some buy ing by Wall Street, caused advances of 25 to 40 points for active posi- tions, although part of the gain was lost near the close, under realizing with final quotations points lower to 25 points higher. !.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La., Oct. 18.-Renew- ed weakness and new low levels for the season again were registered in the trading in cotton today, the market being adversely affected by foreign news after showing pronoun- ced steadiness during good part of the session. The close was at net losses for the day of 60 to 80 points. The opening was lower and the decline persisted on selling due to the English coal strike and to the continued refusal of government banking officials to meet the de- mands of cotton producers for more liberal financial policy. As the market fell it met strong demand partly from covering shorts but mainly from the traders who were taking the long side on the belief that cotton had reached an invest ment basis, mad the market swung smartly upward.
 For a while the market held a good tone but selling instantly fol- lowed the report that the Scottish railroad unions had gone over to the coal miners support. The close was near the bottom.
 The cotton market closed steady at net declines of 60 to 80 points.

ENGLISH LABOR
 FUSS MARBLES
 COTTON MARKET

New York, Oct 18.-The unsettled state of British labor conditions, combined with the depression of the goods trade and reports of continued spot pressure in the south, were re- sponsible for further declines in the cotton market here today. December contracts broke to 17.S0, or 80 points below the closing price of last week, and closed at 17.90, wit hthe general list closing easy net unchanged to 80 points lower-63 to 80 points lower on the more active months.
 The opening was very irregular near and remote delivereies being relatively steady. There was a good deal of pressure of Liverpool and southern selling, right after the call but this seemed to attract good deal of buying which included trade and Wall Street investment purchases of the later months, covering by recent sellers and local buying for re- action. Prices rallied quite sharply during the middle of the day. This met another wave of southern hedge selling later in the afternoon, how ever, while sentiment seemed to be unsettled by rumors of disturbing labor demonstrations in England and. all months made new low records in the late trading. Exports today 1S,270 making 718,358 so far this sea son. Port receipts 26,794; United Sttaes port stocks 973,824.
