Gompers Draws Comparison
Between Conditions in
1881 and Today.

The American Federation of Labor
celebrated the forty-second anniver-
sary of its birth yesterday. The cele-
bration was marked by flood of con-
gratulatory missives showered upon
Samuel Gompers. president.
In a statement Mr.. Gompers sum-
married. activities of organized labor
during the period and drew COM
parison between conditions in 1881
and today.
AT that early date" he said, wage
earners almost had to begin at the
beginning in the effort to remove in
justices, many of which were the
heritage of the European feudal sys-
tenn. and many more of which were
the result of ignorance and of care
lessness of human life.
conditions TODAY. after forty-two
years of effort and organization. are
vastly different than they were when
the American Federation of Labor
was organized
employers took thought only of
wage earners as Instruments. to be
used as tools We're uSed-to be used
and cast aside. LEGISLATORS gave no
heed to the needs Of the toiling
masses. The whole field was field
in which labor's contentious had to
start at the very bottom.
"Graduallv abuses have been elimi-
mated. The twelve-hour day has gone.
The conception that worker is
piece of property or piece of mer-
chandise has gone. The contention
that worker is entitled to no voice
in determining the conditions under
which he shall give service to society
has all but gone. II fingers only in
the. darkest corners of our industrial
order.
Largely as a result of the strug-
gle by the wage earnerS for better
life. for more of freedom. for better
living and working conditions. for
more adequate ware and for fairer
opportunity. the United States stands
head and shoulders over every other
nation in the world in point of aver
age human happiness and well being"

SETTLERS PLAN AN ASSOCIATION
 IN NEW SOUTH WALES

SYDNEY, N. s. w., Feb. ,. - The new South Wales government is pre- pairing to undertake an ambitious scheme to aid settlers by providing community settlements and rural cred it's and establishing rural cooperative associations.
 It was pointed out, when the bill was introduced into the state parlia- ment, that community life was not known in this state as it was in other lands, because of the nature of the country Settlers were new to each other and they had lacked the CO., operative and community spirit. It is proposed that if member of rural association desires loan in order to harvest his crop, he may go to the association, instead of hav- ing to go through long process with bank manager The association would have it's responsibilities as it it would have to see that the Dor, rower did not misspend his money.

ADVENTURES ARE COMING
 TO CORDOVA

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.-Gold and adventure among the barren desolate shores of Montague Island, off the |Alaska coast, will be the objects of a quest by four men who will leave here this spring, later to brave the north Pacific in 35-foot launch.
 With the breaking of snow, the lit tile expedition, headed by Ralph Trum- bower of Los Angeles, will begin it's Hong trek to the far north, They will go to Seattle by rail, and then to Cor dova, Alaska, where they will charter the gasoline launch that will carry them to Montague Island.
 Due to the vagaries of the Japanese current which sweeps it's rock shores, the island is. a ,beachcomber's para disc. According to Trumbower it has given up such strange bits as a log of lockwood valued at $500, a hand carved mast of Spanish design, a ton of coal and a box of cocoanuts.
 Already prepared for the cook of the party is a kitchen range taken from one of tho derelicts which lie rot ting on the shore. Headquarters on the island will be in cabin built by Trumbower on previous visit.
 After all extensive hunting cam paign On the isle nd, which is said to abound in brown bears, the expedition wi! leave for the mainland to exp ore and hunt in the practically unknown wilderness regicns near Mt. Mckin- ley Finally, they will go to the Mata- nuska regions near Mt Mckinley. Finally they will go to the Mata- nuska Glacier.
 "Few men have ever heard of the Matanuska Glacier, and fewer still have explored the quicksand country beyond" Trumbower said. "The hope of finding gold inspires us to under take this last dangerous journey. Rumor tells of a lake there, formed by the shifting backwaters of the gla- cier, which recedes and leaves in it's bottom a rich sprinkling of yellow metal"

RUSSIA TRIED
 TO COLONIZE
 CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. - The Russian flag floated over a part of California for thirty years, from 1872 to 1842, at Fort Ross, Sonoma Coun- ty, where the Greek chapel and block house today mark the remnants of the Russian occupation.
 The Russians came to California for colonization in 1872, after Count Nikolai Petrovich Rezanof, Grand Chamberlain, visited the state in 1895 as imperial plans for the an neXation of California to Russia.
 The Grand Chamberlain had un- limited money at his command and it is stated that his death saved California from being wrested from Spain by the powerful Russian Gov ernment.
 After Rezanof's death, Alexander Baranof head of the Russian-Ameri- can Company, made an effort to carry out the Grand Chamberlain scheme of colonization. He sent out several exploring parties to pick a site for the Russian settlement Fort Ross was selected and history states that this site was purchased by the Rus sians for three blankets, three pair of brooches, two axes, three hoes and some colored beads"
 The Russians established station on the Farralone Island where seals were killed, the meat dried and sent for food to Fort Ross and other Rus sian settlements along the north.
 In 1877 the Russians made claim to California, asserting this territory did not rightfully belong to any European country. However, in 1842 they withdrew from Fort Ross, and kept Alaska as their sole possession on the Pacific. Russia held Alaska until 1867 when the United States bought it for $7,200,000.

SHIP TURNS OVER
Cadet Not Injured but Airplane
Wrecked.

The first accident occurring during
night flying training of the primary
flying class at Brooks Field occurred
Monday night when Cadet Cole missed
his mark while landing his ship, com.
ing to the ground behind the flood
lights and striking some obstruction
that caused his ship 20 nose over. The
plane was badly wrecked but the pilot
was uninjured.
Night flying has been going on al
Brooks Field for several weeks but
until Monday night not the slightest
accident had happened.
1t is not known what caused Cadet
Coles ship to nose over on its back,
as the pilot brought it to the ground
in the dark. but it is believed that q
rough place, or hole was struck by
the wheels on the running gear.
Students at the primary flying
school are required to fly so many
hours at night as a part of their
primary flying training. Each ship
is equipped with colored lights on its
wing tips and tail. and flood lights
are kept burning on the landing field
