ABLE ON CORPORATE OR INDI-

Now, mark you, if a corporation OF
an individual paid out during the

five per cent again.
While Lasker was telling the coun-
try that he was going to sell these
ships at %give-away prices, and lend
all this money to operators at two
per cent interest, to enable Ameri-
can operators to compete in rates and
service with foreign shipowners, Las
ker was, under pressure, admitting to
a joint Senate-House committee that
this clause vas put in for the addi-
tional purpose of enabling the Ameri-
can shipper to pay a little higher
rate to American ships than he
would have to pay to foreign ships
for the same service.
Subsidy Not For Freighters
Now throughout all this discussion
it must be remembered that Laskers
subsidy bill didn't do much in the
way of direct subsidy payments for
the freighter which carries the farm
er's products to the foreign markets.
That phase of the bill gave the great
est benefit to the passenger and car
g~o-passenger boats, which are owned
by big corporations-something like
the n planned by the F1eischhacker
boys, according to Lasker, and the
one planned by the Shipping Board

"oFFSHORE PIRATE" AT COLISEUM TOMORROW

'"The Offshore Pirate" Metro special production, starring adorable Viola Dana, comes as the feature at- traction at the Coliseum on Tues day and Wednesday.
 Opinion in other cities wheer this picture has been seen, pronounces it a wonderfully acted. convincing bit of work. This is due both to the skill put into it's production. and to the fact that it is an adaptation from a Saturday Evening Post story by the we'll known fiction writer, r. Scott Fitzgerald.
 "The Offshores Pirate is the story of group of people who adopt des- perate measures to save Ardita Far nam, an heiress. from the wiles of a scheming Russian who is after her money. Piratical tactics in Ardita s spruce yacht bring about series of thrilling escapades, ending in a re- vers6 of the intriguer's hopes, and the ushering in of new ones.
 Waldemar Young adapted the story and Dallas M. Fitzgerald directed. John Arnold turned the camera crank, and, A. F. Mantz designed the art interiors and effects.

There are many dramatic and pa thetic scenes artistically portrayed, while the production as a whole is fully up to the high artistic de Mile standard. It riyets ones attention and it is in every respect produc- tion of the highest grade.
 There is regular musical com edy showing during one of the big scenes.

who acts through the Bureau of Fish cries. This law requires the President to maintain a patrol of the waters fre- quented by the seal herd during it's migration to and from the Prhilof Islands The Bureau assists in this patrol. Under this management and con- trol. the seal herd has grown until it is now the source of a large revenue to the Government.
 Sealing work on the islands consists of the takins of a census of the seals annually, the killing of surplus males over three years old for their spelts and for food of the natives on the islands, the curing and shipment of the skins to St. Louis. Mo, to be dressed, dyed and sold for the account of the GoVern- ment. and the manufacture of oil and fertilizer from the blubber and carcasses of the butchefed seals.
 The Bureau is also engaged in the propagation of blue foxes on St. Paul and St. George islands. the raising of reindeer on both islands. and in caring for the natives by giving attention to their education, health,' food. clothing and housing.
 In respect to walruses and sea lions, the work of the Bureau is solely that of protection which is secured chiefly by the enforcement of regulations pro- hibiting the killing of these mammals of the sea, except by natives for food and clothing, or by miners or explorers for food or in the case of sea lions when they arc destroying runs of salmon. Being harmless creatures, they have a right to live and they should be pfo- tected for the sake of coming genera tions who may want to see them in their natural environment

SWEDES MINE \ COAL IN THE
 FROZEN ZONE

COTHENBURG, Jan. S.-One hun dred and eighty five Swedish o1al miners are now cut off from the world digging coal in q mine 200 miles north of the Arctic 2ire,e. They are on the island of Spitlbcr- gen, north of Sweden, in the Sgd of Greenland, and the sun will n0t again appear above their horizon until next April. They have plea;y of supplies and plenty of fuel. and their camps and mines will be light ed by electricity through the tous Arctic night. One, of their priae l'l diversions is the photograph, and when they get tired of reading ast years newspapers. they can receive the condensed news of the world through their own radio station.
 The Swedish company for which these men work shipped 72.000 sers Of coal into Sweden from Spill5er- gen during last summer. But nov nothing can be moved until nd iga- ton opens again in the spring.
 Sweden's coal supply is limited, but to offset thisfdefciency she has her "white coal" the countless num- Der of waterfalls and rapids which are harnessed 10 produce electric power. And in fact. upward of half of the area of the kingdom is Eow electrified, the power being applied to a variety of purposes, all the Way from the building of ships to the milking of cows. The fuels in com mon use are wood, charcoal and peat.
 But King Coal still command, corner of the fuel market, and | is a unique tribute to him that the 1S5 miners are toiling in their ice-boun outpost through the Arctic night.

LABOR UNION OF JAPANESE
 IS FAILURE
Attempt to Form Federation Hits Snag when Social
 ists Start Row.

OSAKA Japan. Jan s. An al temMt to form a federation of the labor unions of Japan has ended in failure. owing to the inability Of the socialists. who are in control of some of the unions. to agree With the regular nnionists, who avoid poii- ties. A conference called here OclO- her 1 ended in "a row in which the police took a hand, eventually ar resting number Of the socialists.
 The Nippon Rodo Sodomei. the so- cialist wing, wanted federation with central com5rol, while their oppon- ents, the kumai Sodomei. wanted local autonomy, On the discussion of the rival resolutions an outery arose. which threatened 10 develop inso free fight when the police in tervened and were made the targets of bottles and stones. but soon got the upper hand, cleared the hall and took the ringleaders 10 jail, whence they later were released.
 However, this fight between the two clements in the labor movement is said to be only one reason for the failure of the laborites to advance their cause. There has been in Japan for d great number of years an organization known as the koku- sui-kai. which in some respects might be likened to the Facisti of Italy. This society. which wields great power, is opposed to all reyo- lutionhry movements and is in the habit of taking direct" action when called upon It is backed by the great labor contractors, who supply labor in the bulk throughout the country. When strike is called in a given industry. this organization often is asked To intervene in the interest of the prevailing order M things and usually it can induce the workers, by one means or another, to return to work II is strongly op- posed to labor unions and uses its influence to prevent them from gain ing membership
 At meeting of the Nippon Rodo Sodomai, after the failure to form federation, a protest was entered against "the outrages committed by the members of the kokusnl-kai upon members of the Sodemcl" at recent meeting held al Kyoto
 Another cause of the lack 0i strength of the unions at the pres. ent time is the business depression, many skilled workmen. especially those in the engineering trade at present being out of work

Spirits of Aleuts in
Volcanoes, Say Natives

Anchorage, Alaska.-Some natives
of Alaska profess TO believe that the
angry spirits of the Aleuts massacred
at the behest of the early Russian dis
coverers and traders under Shelikoff,
Baranoff and Chirikoff, are lurking In
the volcanoes of the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes.
Beneath the thin crust of the earth
covering the lower Alaskan peninsula
and the Aleutian archipelago, these
spirits, the natives assert, are holding
nightly revels and emerging periodical
ly to hurl fire, smoke and thunder at
the heads of the invaders.
The fanciful recital of the natives is
that on Chirikoff island. long famed as
haunted, half hundred natives were
lured into a log compound. ser upon
by savage enemies under direction of
the Russians, murdered and despoiled
Of priceless sea otter skins. Their
spirits are appearing again in protest.
The eruption of three volcanoes In
January is. they say, a reyisitation OF
these spirits, and will continue until
they are avenged.
