in Alaska in 1924 and produced $1,- 565,OOO worth of gold, as compared with A dredges in 1923 that produc- ed $1,S4S,OO0 worth of gold. Of these dredges 15 were in Seward Peninsula, three in the Fairbanks district, two each in the Innoko and Iditarod dis tricts, and one each in the Kusko- kwim, Circle and Yentna districts.
 A decrease for 1924 in the copper production was ascribed to an aver age price which was considerably below the already low average of 1923.
 Oil drilling operations continued throughout the year and the results are awaited eagerly. These re- sults," said the report, "have not yet been studied sufficiently in the office and laboratory to warrant statement regarding the possibility of obtain ing oil in the region. The work done, however, confirms the finding of the expedition that visited the coastal portion of Naval Petroleum Reserve Number Four in 1923 and reported the occurrence of seeps of oil there.

CAN WE PAY THE BILL?

In an able and interesting article in Saturdays paper Prof. Guy Barnett of the Seward schools, points out the needs of the city in this direction, and says that "all enterprising citizens will vote for the new building when they go to the polls at the special elec- tion.' We believe that the man or woman who would vote for $100,OOO bonds without first considering where the money is to come from to pay the bills, would be about as enterprising as the man who bought high priced car without no means of paying for it. There is no citizen who does not know that Seward needs better school building, or who does not de- sire the children to have the best obtainable in the way of equipment. But the Professor omitted to touch the financial side of the question in to raise the money. To our way of thinking this is the ultima thule of the subject; the meat in the nut The town has about $S,000 on hand
 at the present time, with taxes for the year 1924 paid up to a point where the remaining sums unpaid are being advertised as delinquent. By fall, the council will undoubtedly be forced to borrow again. An article in a previous issue of the Gateway said that interest on the bonds would be from 4.5 to per cent. The best post ed financiers in the city claim it would be nearer seven per cent. If this be true $7,000 in interest and $4,OOO in
 principal would need to be raised by the city, in addition to what is already
 paid in. Can this be done without causing a general increase in all ne- cessities. The consumer pays the tax in the long run. The more our busi- must go.
 The council could place S5 poll tax on every man or woman of voting age in the city, which would bring
 in about $500 of the required amount Taxes practically doubled the past year in some instances. The rate re- mained the same but the valuations were greatly increased. A small town cannot react from money stringen- cy so quickly as large one

SENATOR DECLARES
 U. 5. OUT TRADED
 BY GREAT BRITAIN
(By Associated Press)

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 1O.-Assert- ing that British statemen, 'out-trad- ed" the United States in the nego- tiations of the limitations of arms agreement under the Harding admin istration, Senator Kenneth D. Nc Kellar, declared in statement here tonight that the American navy should be second to none in the world
 The Tennessee senator said the difference in the elevation of British and American naval guns precluded the possibility or equality in these forces of the two countries, which he asserted, was "the professed pur- pose of the agreement" Senator McKellar declared himself in favor of elevating guns on American bat tleships immediately.
 Our capital ships are still com paratively valueless, not being able to shoot from two to five miles as far as British naval guns aand per haps not as far as those of Japan, the senator said. That President Harding and Secretary Hughes were out-traded by the British diplomats is of course certain.
 we should elevate our guns and make our navy the equal of Great Britain's according to the true intent of the agreement. That would make 1 it almost absolutely certain that the two countries would never go to wal and with Great Britain and America acting in concert, no other nation could afford to go to war without oul approval"

Gold Output Shows
 Increase Past Year;
 Other Minerals Fail

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 12-- (AP)-By Mail Alaskan Mines pro- duced $17,670,000 worth of minerals during 1924, as compared with $2O,- 33O,OOO during 1923, it is shown in estimates the Geological Survey is preparing for publication in it's annu- al report. The gold output was es- timated at $6,350,000, compared with s5,9S5,314, this being the only metal to show an increase over the preced- ing year.
 Copper production declined from $112,63O,335 in 1923 to approximately s1O,OOO,OOO in 1924 Silver decreas- ed from s66S,O12 to $45O,0OO and coal production fell off from $755,459 to $55O,OOO
 The total value of Alaskas mineral output since 1880 is s635,0O0,00O.
 The increase in the gold output was due mainly to activity at the lode mines in Southeastern Alaska, as there was a slight decrease in the amount of gold won from placers.
 'The benefits to the gold-mining in- dustry of interior Alaska that are cer- tain to result from the completion of the Alaska railroad" stated the sur vey's report, "are rather slow to ap- pear in the figures showing the pro- duction of gold, for the work of test ing large areas of placer ground and
Seward daily gateway., 1925-01-12

the engineering work needed to con- or other power-driven mining ma chinery require considerable time. The results of operations so large and of increased prospecting for me- tal-bearing ledges will eventually be an increase in production The de- crease in the total value of the min- eral output of Alaska in 1924 from that in 1923 may be attributed al-- most entirely to the smaller produc- ton. of copper and the much lower average price of that metal"
 Development work in various dis tricts was described in detail. The Survey said ore shoots have been discovered in the Hyder district that are considered sufficiently rich to warrant the construction of mill, and that several other properties in that district are likely to become productive. It adds that prospecting has been active throughout the Jul neau district, and promising ore bod ies have been disclosed on several properties between Funter Bay and Hawk Inlet. Other observations in clude increased mining activity on Chichagof island, further discoveries of gold quartz lodes at Nuka Bay production of somewhat less lode gold in the Fairbanks district, and production of considerable gold in the Kuskokwim district.
 The 1924 gold output of s2,750 from 20 quartz mines, an increase of more | than $4OO,00O over the output for 1923, came mostly from the Alaska Juneau mine.
 It was stated that although the production of gold by dredges in 1924 was less by nearly $300,000 than in 1923, this decrease must not be taken to indicate that dredge mining in the Territory is declining.
 Tt may be predicted" the Survey continued, that before many years the output of gold by dredges will exceed that made by other methods of placer mining.'
 l Twenty dredges were in operation

In our party meeting, it was un-
derstood that the Finnish branch in
Norwood has somewhat failed to par
ticipate in our campaign to support
the central organ of the party.
AS the members of the Finnish
branch in Norwood are also majority
in local cooperative movement, so
we decided to give part of our 1924
profit to the DAILY WORKER.
May also say that we ought to get
the cooperative societies a real part
of the party. The DAILY WORKER
should publish an article on this sub
ject. If we get the cooperative So
cieties to participate with the Com
munist movement as a whole, then it's
worth while to work for them.

into union. The remedy must be
the establishment of a workers gov
eminent.
Despite the base betrayal of the la
Dor party movement by the entire Of
fetal family of organized labor the
progressive steel workers see the
need of united class political action
by the industrial workers and exploit
ed farmers. We pledge ourselves to
carry on the struggle for independent
class political action by labor as
means of the establishment of work
ers' government.
Recognition of Soviet Russia.
The Russian workers, through their
heroic struggles have abolished cap
italist exploitation and taken control
of the industries which are now be-
ing run in the interests of the workers.
The Russian working class republic is
in need of the things we produce in
this country. We therefore demand
the unconditional recognition of and
establishment of trade relations with
Soviet Russia, not only as means of
stimulating industry in this country,
but as an act of solidarity with the
Russian working class.
Glass Struggle Against Class coIIab-
ora:ion.
We have already pointed out that
the working class and the capitalist
class have no interests in common.
1t has been effectively proven to US
during ali the struggles of the past
On the basis of these experiences we
propose that the officials of the Anal
gamated Association recognize the
class struggle and frame and execute
the policies of the organization ac-
cordingly. Our slogans must be: Re-
lentless struggle against the oppres-
sive methods, wage cuts and the ex-
ploitation by the steel corporations"
For the organization of a powerful
union in the steel industry ready to
fight for the interests of the working
class-a union which will become one
of the battalions Of emancipation of
the workers" VIC
We submit this program to the steel
workers in general and to the mem
bers of the Amalgamated Association
in particular. We challenge criticism
and invite suggestions for further i'm
provements. We suggest that the col
umns of the official Journal of the AS
ISOLATION be opened for discussion of
this program and for the problems of
the organization as a whole. We pro-
pose that all contributions submit
ted by individual members or lodges,
be printed in full without any censor
ship, so that we may find the best
possible means of constantly building
and Strengthening the union.
We urge all progressive, thinking
members of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton Of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
to unite for the building of a
bigger and better union-a working
class union covering the whole steel
industry.

TO FIX TAX RATE TOMORROW EVENING Board of Finance to Meet in
 Office Of Town Clerk
 HOPE FOR REDUCTION
kensinston Man Kicked By Horse Mems Lyceum Tonight--Lenten De'otions on Tuesday Night This Week-Reckless Drivers Arrested,

The board of finance will meet to- morrow evening at o'clock in the office of the town clerk to fix the rate of taxation for the next fiscal year. Notices for this meeting have been sent to members of the board by Town Clerk Arthur l.. Woodruff.
 The tax rate will not be any higher and it may be lower than it was during the past year, it was stated today by a well known town official. The exact rate is ascertained by di- Vlding the amount to be raised by taxation by the grand list and the matter is merely question of ma thematics.
 The members of the board of fin- ance are Robert o. Clark. Rcpresen- tative Francis Deming, Miss Johann Murray, Bernard r. Moore, Claude w Stevens and James J. Fitzsimons.
 Berlin's tax rate has worried resi- dents for several years and, with the tax paid to the fire districts. the rate mounts to about 36 mills, eX- ceptionally high for a town of it's size. With steps already taken to- ward Inauguration of equalization of taxes, the rate will probably drop considerably when it is drawn up the next time.
