largest Atlantic liners were held up
Sunday in consequence of a strike
OF wireless operators belonging to
the Association Of Wireless and
Cable Telegraphists, which controls
nearly 5000 wireless operators on

by a suggestion Of a reduction in
wages, began with the placing Of
pickets in the shipping offices. The
strikers count on the unlikeIihood

DETROIT'S RACE
HATE VICTIMS
GET new TRIAL
Eight Negro Defend
ants Out on Bail


DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 3o.--The
trial Of Or. osslan n. Sweet and 10
co-defendants for the alleged murder
Of Leon F. 5reiner, member Of the
mob that stoned and fired on the
Sweet residence here, has resulted in
a disagreement of the jury and the
granting Of a new trial. After being
out for over as hours, the jury was
discharged as it was unable to agree.
On one of the last ballots, the jury
stood IL to / for acquittal.
To Have New Trial.
Upon the jury being dismissed
motion was made ofor a new trial,
which has been set for the first week
in January. The defense intends to
have separate trials for each of the
defendants if it can be arranged.
Eight of the defendalnts are now out
on bail of $4,000 eachia and arguments
will be made on December to have
the remaining three Negro defendants
released on bail.
Makes Eloquent Appeal.
DR.. Sweet, whose home was stoned
and fired upon by theEmob, in an elo-
quent appeal to the jury and those
present in the courtroom showed the
determinations practised against the
Negroes in the United States and cal
led upon those present to work for
the elimination of prosecutions of men
because their skins are not of one
shade.
Khan Fosters Prejudice.
The ku klux khan, which was one
of the contenders in the recent mayor
atty fight here, did all that it could
to work up a prejudice against the
Negro defendants and have them con-
vincted ofSmurder in the first degree
and to have them pay the extreme
penalty of the law.
While the trial was in progress,
someone set fire to Dr. Sweets garage.
Attempts were made continually
turnout the entire trial to influence
the jury by klansmen, who were de-
termined that these Negroes, who
were attacked and their lives threat
ened by mob. should hang for the
alleged murder of Breimer.

DEAD CHILEAN

Especial to The Daily Worker,

6UENos AIRES, Argentina, Nov.
3o.--From the censored dispatches ar
irving from the africa region, II APP
pears that the dead Chilean earabin-
ero over whom ex-President Allesan-
dri spoke in a funeral ceremony that
was a vitrioic attack against the
United States as dlsturber and an
inclter of discord, was killed at ebay
avinto In a clash between unnamed
forces and Chilean boundary guards.
Expose Brings Break.
The subcommittee on boundaries of
the plebiscite commission broke up
Friday when an expose of the clash
at Chayavinto was made in signed
statement of the Chilean command
ant, Col. Louis Marchand Gonzales,
published in Ell Pacifco.
The Peruvian delegate on the boun-
dairy subcommittee, moved for an Gin
vestigation" by the committee, which
was perfectly agreeable to General
Morrow, the American member But
the Chilean member, Senior Greve,
feeling that the committee was pack
ed against any fair investigation, in
sisted that it had no Jurisdiction.
When Morrow and the Peruvian, Col.
Ordonez, voted that the committee
had the power to act, the Chilean
withdrew.
May Defy Monroe Doctrine.
Chile claims the pIebiscite is being
hampered and delayed while Ameri-
can troops and ships occupy the ter
ritory and the coast, and they declare
that unless plebiscite is held soon
Chile will appeal to the league OF ma
tions. This would be a major move
of diplomacy, since the United States
might find itself and its nice little
Monroe doctrine in a head-on col
lislon with the interference" Of the

BATTLE over
WORLD COURT
UNAVOIDABLE
BOrGh Prepares to Lead
Fight
Especial to The Daily wOrksrl

WASHINGTON, o. C. Nov. so.--The
shadow Of a great senate battle, every
bit as bitter and as Intensive as the
memorable fight over the league Of
nations, began to loom today over the
congress that meets next week..
It involves the question of American
entrance into the world court. The
leaders are worried because the bat
tie may upset carefully laid plans in
other directions-tax reductions, agri-
cultural relief, etc.
To all intents and purposes, the bat
tie is to be a replica of the league
imbroglio. The elements for and
against are largely the same, the ar
guments for and against are strikingly
similar, the feeling on both sides is
just as intense-and the veterans Of
that titanic conflict remember how the
whole business of congress was
thrown out of gear for months while
the battle ragged.
While surface indications point to
the senate's agreeing to join the
court on the terms contained in the
Harding Hughes-Coolidge program ac-
tually administration leaders are none
too sangunine.
5orah Will Lead Fight.
Senator VIM. E. Borah, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, has
remained deaf to every entreaty that
he abandon his intention of fighting
the court to "the last ditch" For
weeks the Idaho senator has been
preparing for the issue, and he has
drawn to his support the same in
domitable band of league foes who
overcame seemingly the same great
odds in the league fight.
The anti courters found a forceful
ally in Representative George H. Tink-
ham, republican of Massachusetts, re-
presenting the wooden industry, who
altho supporter of Pres. Coolidge
in almost every other respect, differs
violently with the administration
espousal of the court.
Tinkham announced he would in
troduce on the opening day of con-
gress a resolution providing for the
establishment of an impartial interna-
tional tribunal and the codifcation by
it Of international Law.
AS at present constituted, he said,
the court could be compelled to sane
ton the French war on Syria, the
Franco-Spanish war against the Riffs,
and as a subscriber to the court, the
United States would be morally bound
to support those decisions.

The Alaska fisherman., 1925-07-15

The many petitions sent to MT. Hoover by Alaskan fishermen who have been despoiled of their rights under the regulations prepared in the interest of the trap monoply have been of no avail.
 The escapement provision of the Wh't te bill must not in any way af- feet monopoly nor interfere with the pack of the big canners. The small canners and fishermen are poor, and if what little they have is taken away from them in order that big business may continue to flourish, it is o~ly in keeping with the theory of the survival of the fittest by gov ernmental arrangement, which is evidently the present policy of the Department of Commerce.
 We of the fishery class must let the salmon pass through the waters where we have been accustomed to take them even though our children suffer from hunger. The dividends on trap investments must not be lessered. Such is the will of MT. Hoover in providing for the pre- scribed escapement.

THE DICTIONARY

In another place, we answered the offusions of the Valdez Miner, edited by Chas. H. Wilcox, when he spoke of the "Common People" as being something Glow, vulgar, etc." because the dictionary gave those words as definitions of the word "Common." Here is another sample of the said WilcoN's brains ard habits of drought.
 In discussing the law on the case of Canvassing Boards, the said Viii CON argued that such Boards have complete power to go behind the returns and exercise judicial powers, thus: "What does the word 'canvass' mean? The DICTIONARY says it means to examine searchingly; as certain the number of or the facts concerr ing the going-over in detail; scrutinize; sift; original meaning being to sift through canvas; a de- tailed examination or scrutiny; an official scrutiny, as the canvass of votes at an election.'"
 So now it is not orly Editor Viii cox, he of the Uncommon" people, but also Lawyer Wilcox who needs but Webster's Dictionary to give you the Claw of the case"

WE DO

Printed on the back of a program recently put over by the children of the Petersburg school we note the following:
 Do you realize that:-
 "The uneducated laborers earn on an average of $982 per year, or for forty years total of $39,28O? The high school graduates earn on an average of $1,729 a year, or for forty years total of $69, ,16O. This education required twelve years of school. In 216O days the school add ed $29,88O to the income for forty years, making each day in school worth $13.83.
 "Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined" d"-Alexande Pope.
 What we are looking forward to: Every eligible student in"-Alaska -"in the High School" And every eligible student in school.

FIFTY PER CENT
 ESCAPEMENT

mon nSnefleS or AldSkd over to Clle big packing companies by his reser- vation system was frustrated and Congress enacted a fishery law that in it's phraseology guarantees to all fishermen equal rights in the pur- suit of their calling, we believed that those rights would be protected and felt that it was the intent of Con- gress that the burden of conserva- tion of the fish supply should be borne equally by all who took fish from Alaskan waters. It was intend- ed that Mr. Hoover, in formulating restrictive regulations should have them apply proportionately to large ard small operators of fishing ap- pliances. It was surely the intent oi Congress when it enacted the proVl- sion for a 50 per cent escapement of salmon to the spawning grounds that the individual or corpo, at.on operating trap capable of taking ore million salmon during fishing secson should permit an escapement in the same ratio as the individual whose portable appliance is capable of taking only fifty thousand sal mon in season, or one twentieth as much as the stationery appliance. The outstanding feature of Mr. Hoover's regulations for this season is that almost the entire escapement of fish is to be taken from the small fishermen. All through the ages this eternal conflict of might against right has been Waged. There is no possible justification for the discrim- ination Tn favor of the strong ard against the weak in the administ,a tion of fishery laws, but there has never been a time in the worlds history when the strong were more ruthless in eNerc sing their political power to destroy the rights of the weak and to appropriate those rights to themselves than at the presert time in America We can remember the time when the strong and pow erful would pretend justification of their exploitation of the weak, but today there is no necessity for doing so. It is enough to say that big DuSlneSS must not De h&mpefed Tn it's onward rush toward complete ard uncontrolled monopoly, and the individuals who may have the temer- ity to suggest that certain human rights should be recognized are b Il q 10 be crushed by the "big business" juggernaut.
 MT. Hoover stands today the prophet. the deifcation of big busi- ness, of arrogant, overbearing, un- scrupulous big bus ness, and a payer to him for equitable adjustment of fishery laws, so that the powerful might bear their just share of con servatioH would have the same effect
