SWIFT MANAGER
 MAKES GOOD REPORT
 ON INTERIOR ALASKA

J. L. Yocum, Seattle manager for Swift x Company, was a sojourner in COrdova this week, en route to the out side after an extended trip through the interior MT. Yocum spent about four weeks at various points along the Government railway, going in through Seward and returning by the same route, making his biennial investiga- tion of the business affairs of his com pany in Alaska. MT. Yocum reports a greatly improved condition in bus mess throughout the interior, Fair banks especially showing increased ac- tivity in all business lines. MT. To- cum was enthusiastic in his praise Of the travelling facilities afforded by the new railroad The trip between Seward and Nenana is made in twen- ty-two hours, and the service, said MT. Yocum, is very satisfactory. The only real disadvantage of the transporta- tion system is in the matter of pres ent train schedules, some of the most interesting portions of the scenery along the route being passed during the night hours. To correct this how ever, the Alaskan Engineering Con- mission has now in process of erec- ton a new hotel at Curry, which IS designed to accommodate travellers who desire to stop over night and con tinue the journey the following day. This hotel will be well under way, ac- cording to present plans, by the time winter overtakes the operations. IL will be completed in the spring. The caribou are now Hooking across coun- trv in the vicinity of Fairbanks' re- ported MT. Yocum, and the largest run of years is being witnessed. Every one is out with his trusty gun. Large herds were plainly visible from the train between Fairbanks and Nenana' The crying need of Fairbanks, accord ing to the visitor, is good hotel, ana in all probability efforts will soon De launched to raise sufficient capital to construct one in the spring.
 MT. Yocum is an enthusiastic friend of Alaska and in recent issue of "The Buzzer," the house organ or Swift & Company, he has contribut- ed article entitled, "Our Business Ill Alaska the Frontier Wonderland in which he recounts the history of the Swift Companys business in the North.

COWBOY BUNK
FROM MONT ana
MONTANA SPILLS A LOT OF
FOOL PESSIMESM ABOUT
WESTERN N. d.

C!,as Mccarthy Of Helena, Montana
gave cut an interview concerning the
future Of Western North Dakota and
eastern Montana, as a farming Sec
ton, while on visit to jamestown
recently. His outlook is just as folla-
cicus as it is pessimistic. He says:
"Western North Dakota and
the greater part Of eastern Mon
tana should never be farmed as
an agricultural section of our
country. The small farmer that
toc' up homestead, expecting to
make good living, and get a.
head with grain farming is
mostly broke. The seasons are
against him as this region Of
Montana and western South and
NORTH, Dakota has always been a
stock range and always will be,
with only an occasional year when
grain crops can be raised. This
whole country was buffalo
range, a grazing country, and
grass is the main crop. At least
that is the conviction now OF
thousands Of men who were in
duced to take up homesteasls,
and undertake TO farm the land
but. have been forced to abandon
their claims on account Of repeat
ed crop failures.
ut looks to me like simple fool
ishness for government or the
state of North Dakota or anybody
else TO put out money for seed
in the Bad Lands OF in most Of
the eastern Montana. It is just
throwing good money after bad,
and taking a risk in which nearly
every chance is against success"
The truth is that the section re
ferred to by Mccarthy is today pro
ducing cattle by the hundreds O
thourands more than it did in til,
palmiest days Of the cowboy and tn,
!onghorn, and of a far superior quail
ty. The daring industry has ha.
a tremendous growth in the western
counties and corn, potatoes, clover
and crop rotation is rapidly becoming
the settled order of farming.
Of course, the "forced change" i
a great hardship to a lot of farmer
who We're unprepared-in fact, it ha
proved fatal 10 many. But that doe
notamean tina: the western countie
will again become the habitat of tn
hardriding cowboy. It only mean
that stern necessity is forcing tn
farmers out there to change to diver
sified farming. There soil can no
compare with ours but they have othe
neutrality-suspicious. soil is warmer
better for corn and they have all tn
Ignite coal they need, usually as a;
out-crcpping on their farms.
| The writer who visited nearly ever
western county in the state last yea
as an employe of the Bank Of Mort
Dakota is convinced that that sectio
has grand future, and is prepare
to make the following rather para
doxical forecast:
Unless the farmers Of the exceed
ingly rich Red River valley and LAX
Region counties look to their laurel
they will be cutstrippcd i'll the rac
by thcir drautastricken, mortgage
burdcncd brothers out west.
Out there they HAVE to change
here they are wiling enough, fixe
and their soil is rich enough so the
can gamble on wheat a few yea,
/ longer.

thousand $3.50; on the second thou
sand, $500; on the third thousand,
$3.50 and on the 5000 representing a
farction of the fourth thousand dol

LEVIATHAN GOES TO NON-UNION
 YARD, COSTING TWO MILLION IN
 EXCESS OF NAVY YARD FIGURES

Chairman Lasker, of the shipping board, opposed to trade unions ever since he took office, was supported by the President and went ahead, giv- ing the Leviathan contract to a non union privately owned company.
 Government work thus goes to a private, non-union firm, in prefer ence to government, union yard and at an extra cost to the Ameri- can people of about TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
 The Lodge amendment may give navy yards a chance to bid on future work on other government ships, if the President does not exercise his right to prevent such a course, but the biggest contract of all has gone to the support of the anti-union cause.

Smashed Standard Oil So That | Made Only 4o5 Millions
 Last Year.

New York, Feb. 24.-Being "smash- ed" by the United States supreme court has not affected the prosperity of the Standard Oil trust This cor poration is now operating in units, which report combined profit for the year 1920 or 5,oI6,545, after all taxes have been paid and liberal de- ductions made for depreciation, etc. The combined earnings in 1912 were $I7S,272,o47 This increase in 1920 represents a gain of 13o per cent.

NON-PARTSAN WAY IN POLITICS GROWS
 IN LABOR'S VIEWS
As Party Lines Become Weak, Work CTS Conference Agrees to
 Support Friends.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-In resolutions that are declared to mark the end of distinct political party action in this state, as far as organized workers are concerned, trade union representatives, at a con- ference in this city, emphasized the workers need for non-partisan political action.
 At the conference where the executive board of the Illinois state federation of labor and the executive board of the Chicago federation of labor, the women's trade union league and the joint legisla- tive committee of the Illinois state fed eration of labor and the railroad brother hoods.
 After recalling conditions that now confront the wage earners-the stinlu- lated panic, the erploiters' control of the judiciary and the haste to establish the cossack system in this state-the con- ference unanimously declared:
 we believe in this matter the neces- sities of the situation require that no can didates should be put in the field by the workers themselves except where they have a reasonable assurance of electing such candidates or where there are no candidates on other ticets that can be
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-02-24

In severe condemnation of this pol icy the report continues to say:
 This militant tendency seems to make strong appeal to many em- ployers at this time of business de pression. A movement is now on foot which misusing the name of Open Shop and American Plan is smashing labor organizations throughout the country by locking the unions out and forcibly deunion- izing the workmen. Together with the abuses of unionism this move ment is destroying the constructive substance of unionism and stifing the just democratic aspirations of the workmen. It is undermining the con fdence of labor in employers and running the foundation for co-opera- ton between them. Similar campaigns in former periods of depression have only resulted in redoubled growth of unionism and the adoption by it of more extreme measures in the periods of prosperity which followed and there is no reason to believe that the results of this campaign will be diff ferent. Campaigns of this nature are leading to oppression by employers and are playing into the hands of revolutionary clements. Thus the cycle continues with the participants in continuous and senseless war fare"
 The report holds that employers who agree to shop organizations voluntarily give their workmen a greater share of comfort and security and seek to satisfy their natural de- sire for progressive improvement" as well as "the normal, democratic in stincts of the men,"
 In a series of recommendation the repoft urges the extension of scien- ti6c research and the employment of experts in that work
 Among the recommendation the following also appears:
 ''We call upon both employers and workmen, wherever they are organ ized and negotiate with each other, to redouble their efforts toward purg- ing themselves of those domineering and abusive practices which stand in the way of their greater usefulness, and to develop more consistently the rule of reason in their dealings, and such constructive experiments of in dustry-wide cooperation between them as they have begun"
 Summarizing the findings and recommendations the report declares that "the road of anti-union coercion, as above explained, appears to us to be dangerous. It ought by all means to be avoided"
