SHORTAGE IN CHICKEN
X X x
MARKET OF VALLEY is
X X X
REPORTED; PRICE HIGH

Either Rio Grande Valley chickens
lay so much that it is more profitable
to keep them than to- sell them, or
the little ones refuse to grow fast
enough.
One of these two evils, or both. is
resulting in shortage in the chicken
market of Brownsville.
Chickens ale now bringing 90 to %
cents pound on foot, and can no,
be secured at that price Restaurant
owners are elamoring for them, the
market stall owners are always glad
to get them, and the supply continues
to go down hill, while the demand
increases.
The belief that number of farm
ers of the Valley have chickens which
they would bring in and sell if they
knew the price which is being quoted
now, was expressed here.

Friendly to French to
Please Cabinet, Daily
Chronicle Says
fBy The Associated Press.)

LONDON, May 16.-There are per-
sistent rumors, The Daily Chronicle
Gays that Austen Chamberlain is like
ly to resign the foreign secretaryship
in consequence of the divergence with
his colleagues regarding his attitude
toward France.
Mr.. Chamberlain, according to the
newspaper, is so much more pro-F1ench
than most of the other British cabinet
members that they had to restrain him
from making military pact guarantee
ing Frances eastern frontier. Such
pact would have been aimed at Ger
many, and the cabinet decided against
it.
When Secretary Chamberlain went to
France two months ago he was charged
to tell the foreign representatives that
this pact was outside the limits OF
British policy, coiding to the Chroni.
Gle, which adds that mis- resignation was
then expected.
The paper declares that Mr.. Cham
berlain's complaisance to the French in
the foregoing and other matters is re-
garded as endangering British and
European interests and is causing much
anxiety in ministerial circles but that
IS he is such an important member OF
the government. everything possible viii
be done to prevent his resignation.
Nothing regarding the question ap-
pears in the other papers. The Daily
Chronicle in its editorial policy opps ses
the conservative government.
Reuters News agency learns that
British official circles dismiss as with
out foundation the rumor of the ap-
preaching resignation of Secretary
Chamberlain.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. L.
With big, new and vital issues crowd
ing for attention, the most notable
measure of the convention of the
American Federation of Labor, which
opens here October 5, will be the fact
that a new face will be behind the
speakers desk, a new hand on the
gavel.
For forty years Samuel Gompers
stood before the delegates when
conventions were called to order. For
forty years his oratory marked the
opening of every such gathering. For
forty years the resonant tones of ihs
voice carried defiance, declared war
or sang the praises of peace and har-
mony.
Now comes convention when Sam
uel Gompers will not be in the chair.
His absence undoubtedly will be the
source of the strangest sensation the
assembled delegates will feel 0 nthe
opening day.
William Green win open this con-
vention. Green is veteran Of many
battles. He has in contest after con-
test stood beside Samuel Gompers.

UNIONS IN
CONVENTION REJOICE
OVER LABOR VICTORIES
By JOSEPH A. WISE

BY International Labor News Service
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, H., Oct.
Five hundred delegates, in con-
vention assembled here, participated
in the most successful and profitable
annual session ever held in the his
tory of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor.
The convention was able to dispose
of great number of measures of ma
jor Importance, after full discussion,
by reason of the fact that it was
not necessary to consume two-thirds
of the weeks meeting fighting over
the program of the Third information
al, sponsored by Foster uthenberg
combination of American adherents of
the Russian Red dictators who had
shown great strength in several pre-
vious conventions, but who were in
hopeless minority at Champaign
Urbana. The Communists introduced
nine windy and wordy resolutions of
the usual Red character, but all of
them were Overwhelmingly voted
down after brief debate.
Labor Victories Rejoice Delegates
The dominant note of the conven-
ton was the appreciation Of and ella
ton over the record achievements of
the officers in obtaining favorable
legislation at the recent session of
the Illinois General Assembly, partic-
ularly in reference to the passage Of
the passage of the injunction BILL
A rising vote of thanks was given
to Gov. Len Small and Frank L.
Smith, chairman of the Illinois Com
merce Commission and candidate for
the Republican nomination for United
States Senator, for the help they gave
in persuading members of the Legis-
Iature to vote favorably on labor
measures. Friends of organized labor
in the Legislature were given like
vote of thanks and pledge that they
would be supported in future elections.
There was an apparent feeling on
the part of many delegates. that all
was well now that the injunction linn
itation bill was on the statute books
after many years of struggle and since
/ it had been declared constitutional by
Superior Judge Hugo Pam of Chicago.
Some of the delegates seemed to
believe that the time was ripe to en-
bark on new legislative adventures
and to definitely instruct the officers
as to future programs.
President John H. Walker and Sec
retary- Treasurer Victor A. Olander
warned the delegates of the danger Of
tying the hands of the officers in leg-
islative matters and pointed out that,
while one Judge had declared the in
junction limitation law valid, there
was a possibility that another court
might be found with sufficient lack
of scruple to decide against the law,
in which event it would be necessary
to put the measure to the fore again.
The advice was needed.
Praise for News Service Work.
Enthusiasm over the success Of the
Federation officers in obtaining favor
able legislation at the hands of the
General Assembly was leavened with
due appreciation Of the aid given
by international Labor News Service
and affiliated labor papers located in
all parts Of the North American con-
tinent.

eral SPEAKERS suggested that the
strikers should organize, either as an
independent body or else affiliate with
an international body. It was the
concensus Of opinion, however, that
the immediate need is for active work
in behalf of the wage demand, and
that organization could wait until lat
er.
Men from the various mills nomi-
mated their representatives, and upon
their election the committeeman came
forward. This committee will keep
in constant touch with the situation,
meeting every day and calling the
general workers together whenever
necessary.
/ Several of the speakers made it
plain that the strike had not been
called by any "wobbly" or organized
labor body, but came as the result of
the determination of the men to OBJ
tain a so cent per day increase in
wages. It was pointed out that some
mills here are paying the minimum
scale asked by the strikers, and that
the five mills affected by the strike
can well afford to meet the request.
The strikers from the Donovan mills
talked with the mill officials for the
first time Wednesday, presenting their
demands to Francis Donovan. The
latter said he had no authority in the
matter, but would bring the matter
before William Donovan, ST., head of
the concern. The latter announced
Thursday that the present condition of
the lumber market prohibited him
from paying the increase. Officials
of the other mills announced similar
attitudes through the press Thurs
day.
The striking workers are DESTROYS

not actuated by any radical impulses

sound Americanism of their ranks as
proof. Both Larson and Schultz are
world war veterans, and scores of
other war veterans are included in
the ranks Of the strikers.

 Should Present Views
 Some of the fishery regulations that have been in force this season are in my opinion quite negotiable and I shall make an effort toward their correction this winter I shall speak in detail on the fisheries ques- ton when I return to Seward Fish cries is a subject on which almost every citizen believes he is quail fled to speak. have no sympathy with the proposition that there is too much criticism of the Admin istration of our fisheries. It is the right and privilege of every resi- dent of the Territory to present his views cn fishery and he should not hesitate to do So. The resident AL askan certainly is better acquaint- ed with the fisheries subject than the summer tourists who feel that they have a comprehensive knowI- edge of this most complex subject by the time they have crossed Dixon Entrance, northbound
 Policy Is Liberal
 ron the subject Of Oil permits I can only repeat what I have so oG- ten stated in the past Viz: that the policy of the Secretary of the Inte- rtor in his application of the leas- ing act to Alaska is extremely lib- eral and as a result of this policy believe we are going to have all sections where oil indications occur thoroughly drilled. The Secretary by this liberal policy has enabled large number of locators of small means to hold on to their permits by extension of the time in which t0 commence drilling. There has been no indications Of monopoly in the Alaska oil fields although it is quite evident that these fields can be developed only by great and veal thy companies. The immense sum that has been expended in the Cold Bay field by the Standard and Asso- ciated Oil companies without rel suits 50 far as the public knows, shows us that only big capital can drill for oil in this Territory, but the Department of the Interior has consistently provided opportunity for citizens of small means to partici- pate in a small way in the benefits of successful drilling operations by the big capitalists"
 Asked regarding the published statements of members Of Congress who visited Alaska this summer. MT. Sutherland said that he would not think of placing restrictions on Free" speech That is one of the blessed privileges guaranteed by cur constitution and if any individual de- sired to verbally tear up public utiI- ities he is at liberty to do so. Of course the physical tearing up is an other matter.
