WOULD STOP KILLING
OF AMERICAN EAGLES
Naturalists Warn Against Pos
sibility of Being Represented
by Defunct Species

Unrestricted killing of American
eagles in Alaska has stirred up a horn
cts nest among n~aturalists and wild
life enthusiasts.
The American Nature association
has taken up the cudgels against the
law, and as the first move in a cam
paign for its repeal and for the pro-
lection of the rapidly vanishing
American eagle, has issued on appeal
to every teacher in the United States
to file a protest on behalf of his class.
The law, it is saidy "a passed on
the ground that eagles live on salmon
and thereby damage that industry,
one of the most important in Alaska.
But the nature association points out
in reply that a salmon dies after
spawning and the eagles eat the fish
after they have died and after they
have perpetuated their kind.
zone of the best places to see the
American eagle is on your money
and that will be the only place you
can see it if the slaughter of this bird
is kept up" says the American Ma
ture association call. mo longer do
the tourists of Alaska see these en-
blems of American liberty float above
the forests and shore line.
"The law provides that when an
eagle is killed, the gunner may get so
cents by cutting both feet from the
bird ana exhibiting them to any COM
missioner of Alaska with an affidavit.
"From 1917 to 1923, $4,000 eagle
feet cut from $4,000 birds have been
checked and accounted for on the
bounty records. Gunners with shot
guns and long-range rifles have Skin
mished the Alaskan coasts and pene-
trated the interior to lay low the last
living emblem of our national indie
pendence. Some eagles have been
wounded and have not been caught.
Many have fallen into inaccessible
places where they could not be reach
ed. A large number have been shot
for sport by people who have not col
lected the bounties.
at seems safe to sayt that instead of
$4,000, approximately $4,000 American
eagles have been killed since the cam
paign began.
"In Alaska where fish are abundant
at certain seasons of the year, the
bald eagle undoubtedly lives largely
on salmon, but it is a well known fact
in the life history of a salmon that it
dies after spawning. The banks of
streams are at times lined with bodies
of spawned-out fish which are carried
away and eaten by these birds.
with this recorded slaughter of
$4,000 eagles, Alaskans may be sure
there are not enough left to affect
their supply of fish and game. The
war on eagles should be discontinued
before the last emblem of the Ameri-
a people is laid low.
"The eagle is a match for any an
imal of its size. He stands firm be-
fore every earthly power except the
hand of man. On June End, 1862, the
venerable white-headed bird of Wash
ington, beloved by Americans, was
adopted as the emblem of u country.
Are the American people to be rep
resented by a defunct species?"

WAGES HERE AND
ABROAD

THE American factory worker is
receiving wages the purchas-
Ing power Of which is above the
wages paid in any other country of
the world. The British Ministry Of
Labor has made a computation of
the amount OF food which the
wages Of workers in different cities
Of the world will purchase. In
the following table the purchasing
power of wages in London is taken
Is 100, and the purchasing power
Of wages in other cities Is shown
as percentages of this figure. The
table indicates that the worker in
New York can buy nor than
twice as much food with his wages
than can the worker in London,
while the worker in Berlin or
Vienna can buy only a little more
than half as much with his daily
wage as the worker in London,
or only %one-fourth as much as the
worker in New York.
