For a time it appeared as tho Sewardites were going to witness an interesting race, as apparently Captain Mccarthy did not intend to heed the Haida's stop signal.
 MT. A. H. Proctor, the Governments former Superintendent of Sealing. op erations to Westward, sailed on the Northwestern. MT. Proctor was very much surprised and pleased with the territory adjacent to Seward, and said he would be back next year, to spend some time in this vicinity.

CONiIMlJNSI TRADE UNIONS STEADILY
 LOSING GROUND

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 22.-Commu- mist trade unionism is waning, reports the International Federation of Trade Unions from its headquarters in Am sterdam, Holland A recent bulletin of the Federation says.
 Hand in hand with the general de- cline in the membership of the various Communist parties goes decline in the membership of Communist trade unions in many of those countries where these have an independent existence. These countries include Czechoslovakia, Hol- land and France, and the above remark is especially applicable to northern France At the time of the trade union split in France, the Communist unions of the Department du Nord had o1,OOO members; now, according to the report submitted at the last Congress, they have only 10000 (The membership of the older trade unions has risen in the same proportion.)
 One Ol IIl6 causes Ol iIlS uCClIiIC lS undoubtedly the divisions within the Communist ranks. As in Germany sec tarianism and jealousy abound. In Ger many, indeed, the divisions have gone so far that there may even be said to be a split among the splitters; those leaders which have fallen into disfavor in Moscow have now begun the issue of a publication of their own (which was promptly banned by the "ortho dox') and the trade unions which are quarreling with Moscow are now begin ming to be known as Independent Com munists.'
 France would seem to be treading the same road, judging from recent manifesto published by the National Council of the Unitary or Communist Trade Unions of France, III which there are bitter complaints of the anarchical and disruptive activities of the minority, their attempts to secure autonomy, and their recent threat to withhold building workers of the Seine-et-Oise Depart ment have just unanimously resolved to break off all connections with the Uni tary Trade Unions.
 Another symptom of the same mall ady is the lamentation of representa- tive of the trade union section, who,

EMIGRATION FROM RUSSIA

It may be recalled that an agreement was concluded between the Russian So- viet Government and certain steamship companies in 1923 concerning the estab- lishment of emigration offices in Russia. The International Labor Office is in formed that in view of the small num- Der of Russian emigrants (2,248)t who will be allowed to enter the United States in the future as result of the new Immigration Act these shipping companies have decided to. close their branch offices in Russia, only the main office in Moscow remaining open. Pre- paid tickets had already been bought on behalf of Russian emigrants to the ex- tent of $1,5OO,OOO Most of this money will have to be repaid by the shipping companies. The agreement between the Russian Government and the shipping companies will be terminated and the companies intend to continue business on reduced scale independently of the Government

SCIENCE TURNS ITS
 LIGHT ON WORKERS IN ALL INDUSTRIES

Science is going to make life easy and happy for the millions of wage-earners in the United States. Mishts are to be weeded out of industry and everything is to be made more efficient and more: productive.
 Science and business have united in a nationwide investigation of whats wrong in industry" enlisting the best minds from many fields of endeavor.
 Such is the prophecy of Alfred D. Finn, of New York, director of the Engineering Foundation
 The inquiry will be headed by the Personnel Research Federation, estab- lished under the auspices of the Engi- neering Foundation and the National Research Council, of which Dr. w. V. Bingham of the Carnegie Institute of Technology has been appointed director Prof Bingham will open headquarters at the offices of the foundation here.
 The movement marks turning point in the history of personnel in manage ment in this country, according to MT. Finn. The federation will aim, he said, Ito further the application of scientific research to problems affecting the hap piness, welfare and efficiency of the great body of workers and to promote research activities pertaining to person nel i'll industry commerce, education and government"
 Organizations, in addition to those mentioned, which will share in the study include the American Federation of La bor, Bureau of Vocational Information, Vocational Service for Juniors, Depart ment of Industrial Research at the Uni. versity of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Business and Bureau of Vo- cational Guidance at Harvard Universi- ty, National Committee for Mental Fly giene, United States Public Health Ser vice, United States Bureau of Statistics, United States Bureau of Mines, United State Civil Service Commission. Re- search Bureau for Retail Trading at University of Pittsburgh, School of Bus mess Administration at the University of Chicago and departments active in personal research at Dartmouth College, Bryn Mawr College, Northwestern Uni versity, University of North Carolina and University of Michigan
 Numerous corporations and individu- als also will take part.

speakl4lg at Communist congress ln Germany, complained of the many diff faculties now besetting Communist trade union work, and said that Com munist action in the trade unions was 'unsystematic and undisciplined.' They had a great deal of trouble, he added, with those Communist unions which had broken away and established their independence.
 Another delegate to the same Con- ference was very anxious that some thing no matter what should be done to set the Communist movement on its legs again; either concentration on fac tory "cells" or revival of the Works Councils agitation, or some other device absolutely must be adopted Gin France too, there has been a recent revival of the agitation for factory cells.)
 "In Italy, the Communists have given up hopes of winning over the more ad- vanced and class-conscious workers, and they are therefore concentrating on land workers and small peasant propri- etors. This is unfortunately a serious threat to the existence of the bona flde land-workers' union, which has natu- ally been one of the chief sufferers from the Fascist terrorism, and has found it extremely difficult to keep going at all ; now that 1t has also to contend with disruption from within, it may have to go under altogether.
 "A Communist land-workers' union, affiliated with the Moscow Land Work ers' International, has already been set up in south Italy"

For two weeks before the election, the friends of the child labor amend ment to the Federal Constitution be- sieged the White House urging Pres ident Coolidge to issue a statement asking the voters of Massachusetts to ratify the amendment at the polls on November 4.
 He refused to say a word, says Donald Ramsey in Labor, although the right appeal from him might have turned the tide and if Massachusetts had ratified, the friends of the amend ment would have been strengthened i'll the appeal which they will make to the Legislatures which will meet this win ter.
 The fact that the interests which are exploiting children i'll industry were powerful enough to seal the lips ot the President and to make him deaf to the appeals of the organized women of the country demonstrates that if the amendment is to be made part of the Constitution it's friends must prepare for real fight.
 ( Must Fight in the Open.
 They realize this, and during the past week a conference was held in Wash ington attended by the representatives of the American labor movement, the Federated Council of Churches, more than a score of women's organizations and other groups interested in the of the children.
 From now on the enemies of the amendment will be compelled to fight in the open. Their vicious propaganda will be met with a truthful presenta- tion of the facts.
 Every legislature which meets this winter will be asked to ratify the amendment and in those states where the proposition is defeated plans will be made to carry the contest to the polls in 1926 when the legislators must again face their constituents.
 The supporters of the child labor amendment were stunned by the de feat they sustained in Massachusetts, but they have rallied and will not again be caught asleep at the switch.
 Answer Plain but Painful.
 Incidentally, they are undertaking to answer the question:
 Why did Massachusetts, which has the most advanced child labor law in the Union, refuse to vote to emanci- pate the child slaves of the South ?'
 The answer is painful but very clear.
 Because Massachusetts money is in vested in the mills in Georgia, the Caro- linas, Alabama and other states where the restrictions upon child labor are less than in Massachusetts.
 Because Massachusetts manufactur- CTS who can not employ children for II hours day within the borders of their own state want to be able to do so in. Georgia and the Carolinas.
 Because Massachusetts mill owners knowing that child labor means low wages for children's parents as well as for children, want to pull down the wages and lengthen the hours of men and women i'll Lawrence, Lowell, New Bedford and Fall River and the other great mill districts of Massachusetts where these manufacturers have been fighting not only labor laws but labor unions all their lives.
 There Is No Competition.
 There was a time when the Massa- chusetts manufacturers feared the com petition of Southern mills. They fear
