DR.. BROOKS WANTS
PRESENT TROUBLES
NOT ANCIENT HISTORY

In discussing the purposes of the
Interdepartmental Commission which
will hold hearings on Alaskan mat
ters at Seattle, Dr. Alfred II. Brooks
says:
I'VE want to hear everybody who
has any constructive suggestions.
We don't want lot of stuff about
the potential resources of Alaska.
We know about that already We
understand fully that Alaska is an
empire in embryo. We don't have
to be convinced of that. What we
want is definite plans and construct
i've suggestions to make the resour-
ces of the Territory available to
development.
"The conferees do not propose to
listen to any grievances of the past.
We will be in Seattle only week.
We will try to get all the information
available in that time. We hope to
be able to do something toward de-
velopment this year."

HIGH WAGES
NOT CAUSE OF
HIGH PRICES
Labor Leaders Declare That
High Cost of Living Due to
Profiteering, Not Labor

WASHINGTON, Mays 7.-TAe re-
suits of study of prDfiteering in
American industries, made under
the auspices of the Railroad Broth
erhood has been presented to the
Railroad Labor Board in support of
the wage demands of the working
men and to refute the charge that
increased labor costs are responsible
for the high cost of living.
The statement presented alleges
that of the 300 per cent. increase
in the cost of sugar, only Is per
cent. is represented by the increased
cost of labor entering into the pro-
duction of the commodity. 1t alleg-
es that in meat packing, where
the increase in .price has been 300
to 400 per cent, the labor cost
entering into the production of the
meat is so small that an increase
of 100 per cent. in wages would
only add 5 per cent. to the cost OF
the meat.
The same comparisons are applied
to shoes. clothes and coal, with SINH
lar results

EMMA GOLDMAN IS
HOMESICK in HER
NATIVE RUSSIA
Noted Anarchist Finds Russia, Bled
White and Starving, No Place
For Her To Live

CHICAGO, May Emma Gold
man is homesick for America, is
the admission made by the well
known anarchist leader in a letter

nothing from the United States.
She declares that Russia has been
bled white, and then starved by the
Allied blockade Russia, she says,
is not a place in which stranger
may easily take root, and she has
not taken an active interest in So
cial affairs owing to her lack of IA
miliarity with the language and
knowledge of conditions in the coun-
try.

alien anarchists and agitators, was
deported to Russia from the United

NO RELIEF FOR
EX~S0L.DIERS
THIS SESSION
Legislation for Benefit of Re-
turned Soldiers Will Go
Over Until Fall

WASHINGTON, May After a
series of informal conferences be
tween the Republican and Demicrat-
ic members of the House, it is now
generally agreed that there is no
prospect of enactment of soldier re-
lief legislation before a recess of
Congress is taken for the party
national conventions.
Representative Harold Knutson Of
Minnesota, Republican whip, said
that many of the members feel that
the question should go over until
after the fall election to avoid in
lection of partisanship into consider
alton of the measure. Representa-
tive John N. Garner of Texas, Dem
ocratic whip, declared that sentiment
for the bill was rapidly changing
and that a majority of the Democrats
are perfectly willing to let it sleep
in committee until later when senti
ment may be clear on just what
the legislation should be-
utlc hao oVth dlodS lGtliitit
among members of the House of Rep
resentatives and its Ways and
Means committee as to the method of
raising funds for the relief of ex-
soldiers. A minority of the Republi
cans deserted the majority and op-
posed the increase in income taxes,
or a gross sales tax, favoring the idea
of a tax on accumulated war profits.
Though a party conference was held,
no agreement was reached.
