British Unemployment Problem
A Serious Menace to the Nation

London, England-The British un-
employment problem continues to
grow acute.
During the three years following
the 1920 slump trade unionists reduc-
ed wages 91O,5OO,OOO weekly because
of employers promises that this
would improve conditions. The con-
trary has proven true.
"It is idle for employers to say that
the path to industrial revival lies in
wage reduction" said A. B. Swales,
chairman of the Trades Union Con-
gress general council.
"At the end of last year, when the
cost of living was 80 per cent above
that of 1914, the increase in wages
was only IA per cent in the case of
engineers, while shipwrights had an
increase of 35 per cent; ship joiners,
A per cent; South Wales iron and
steel workers, 80 per cent, and South
Wales tin plate workers, 45 per cent,
to quote but few typical cases."
On the first of June, this year, the
number of unemployed increased over
100000 in two weeks and on June 8
there were 1921 900 workless in the
kingdom. This is an increase of $685.

685 over the corresponding date last
year.
That this distress only reaches
workers and the middle classes is in
dicated by last years report of in
heritance taxes on large estates. This
tax amounted to 959,500,000, as
against $50, ,250,00O five years ago.
The unemployment situation threat
ems to become more intense because
coal owners have given notice to end
their agreement with employees. They
also propose a reduction in hours and
wages. The miners will resist these
claims. The agreement ends July 81.
The railways have suffered because
of the coal slump and these mana
gers and other large industries are
calling for cheaper labor, which
means reduction of purchasing pow
er.
The governments emigration plan
has failed, as loud protests are heard
from Canada and Australia against
the policy of dumping out-of-works
on an already overcrowded labor mar
ket IN these countries. In Melbourne,
the capital of Australia, street collec-
tions were recently held for the ben
eft of 10000 unemployed in that
city.

PEN CROWDED
NEVER HAVE so MANY MEN
BEEN HOUSED THERE
Claim That Prohibition Would Empty
All Prisons Not Panning Out
AS Was Promised
Especial to The Leader)

Columbus, o. Work has been
started on a survey of Ohio's penal
institutions by DR.. E. A. Doll, of the
department of psychology Of Ohio
State University, under the auspices
of the special legislative committee
appointed during the last session of
the general assembly. This commit
tee is trying to find out why Ohio
from the present crowded condition.
DR.. Doll conferred with John E. Harp
er, director of public welfare, imme-
diately after his appointment and
was told that the greatest problem
confronting the welfare department
was the continuous and profitable en-
ploymetn of prisoners. \,
Never in all the history Of Ohio
has the penitentiary had such large
population. And every day this pop
ulation is being added to. The nor
NAL capacity of the prison is 1900,
yet more than 5000 are being taken
care of there. Hundreds are in the
idle house with nothing to do but
brood over their confinement; a con-
dition which helps to make enemies
of the men who are able to survive
mentally and physically the handicap
Of being compelled to sit in silence
with only the four walls of the build
ing to look at from morning until
night.
Solving the problem of putting
these strong and able bodied men to
work is his greatest worry, Director
Harper said, and if the legislative
committee can offer a workable So
luton it will have done one of the
biggest things in many years.

A POOR EXCISE

The Columbus Board of Education
has displayed poor business judgment
in awarding the contract for its win
ter's supply of coal to an unfair Ken
lucky mine in preference to giving it
to an Ohio company working under
fair conditions-which act cost the
board a large increase in price.
And the excuse they give for spend
ing the capital city's taxpayers money
outside of Ohio is, forsooth, that the
contract of the Ohio company con-
tained the usual strike and accident
clause, which the scab mine owners
did not embody in theirs.
Now anybody with common sense

POSTMASTERS TOLD
 OF ALASKA SERVICE

The following communication has been received from the office of the Postmaster General:
 Daily air mail service on a route from New York to San Francisco has been established. The postage paid by the public is 8 cents per ounce for each of the. three zones. The value of such service to busi- ness and to the development of the science of aeronautics is readily seen and fully appreciated by the public. The schedule is every day, including Sundays and holidays, and the time for the trip is 34 hours and 45 minutes going west, and 31 hours and 45 minutes coming east. New air-mail stamps, cents, 16 cents, and 24 cents have been is- sued.
 This is the longest air line in the world and is the only route upon which night as we'll as day flying is employed. Air mail was recom- mended by Postmaster General Hays and Work and the first transcon- tinental route was put in operation ty men on July 1, 1924, by and with the approval of President Coolidge and Congress.
 An airplane service was estab- lished and run as an experiment in Alaska, covering a route from Fair banks to McGrath which ordinarily takes the dog sleds 35 days. Larger cargoes of mail were carried than possible to accommodate in the dog sleds, and the round trip was made il one day, going out in the morn ing and back in the evening, two and a half to three hours being re- quired for each journey of the plane.
 The outcome of this experiment will undoubtedly be the rather uni- versal application of the airplane to the postal service in Alaska.
 Conditions for delivering mail in Alaska are difficult. We have there 3S dog routes which are run in re- lays and which altogether employ about 2,000 dogs.

 Nevertheless, high-grades are LOO apt to be somewhat Of a curse ,nstead of blessing.

 The industry is unfortunate in being up against situation in which the public, through its igno rance of mining fundamentals and its penchant for sensationalism, fail to look far enough ahead.
 It is the low-grade ores of this district that will make it a great and steady producer of mineral wealth, and not the high-grades. The mining engineers know this, and George Clothier,, resident engi- neer for this district, has emphasiz- ed the fact many times, but the pub lie has yet to learn it.-Portland Canal Stewart B. O.

Low Grade vS. nigh Graae

Did any of you take the tune or trouble to anaiyze a Httle news Item mat appeared ln last weeks issue about the Alaska Juneau mining and milling operations! It is worth while.
 This Alaskan enterprise treated, in the month of October, 2S1,600 tons of ore, from which s1ss.Soo was recovered, or 66.1S cents per ton. After deducIing operating eA- penses 8 profit of so2,000. or l7.S3 cents per ton, remained.
 In these operations it would seem that the acme of efficiency had been attained; yet the management have improvements planned and under construction which will still fur ther reduceethe operating cests
 Compared1 with the scale on which the Alaska Juneau is ex- tracting ore, the operations of the Premier, which is considered some what of a mine in these parts, fade away into the realms of insignifi- canoe. The Premier produces about 300 tons of ore per day, 5000 tons per month. It would take 32 1-3 Premiers to equal one Alaska Ju- neau at this rate of production.
 We cannot compare operating costs or values of ore between the two properties, because We do not know the figures for the Premier. Dividends paid by the latter show that it is in an entirely different class from the Alaska property.
 The main point we wish to em- phasize is that high-grade ore is not essential to successful mining. in fact the history of the industry shows that nearly all the revenue is produced by large-tonnage, low grade mines.
 High grades are a fine thing to have, especially in the formative stages of a mine, when operations, as a rule, are conducted on shoe string basis. Ore that can be taken from near the surface and shipped to smelters at profit helps wonder fully in paying for necessary devel- opment and equipment. and with out 1t a large number of mining companies would be wrecked before they had even started upon the sea of business venture.

Is the day of the prospecttor past? Many Alaskan papers believe this to be true, but the numerous strikes being made throughout the territory show that the oldtimer is still going strong. There are many men today who, if they had the capital for 8 grubstake would be in the hills. In the old days it was pos sible to get a grubstake from nearly any acquaintance, business man, saloonkeeper or dealer, whose money was freely given with but little hope of reward. Today, the prospector who can pry grub stake out of a man must be able to talk high finance, and have the tact of a bank cashier. Money is lav- ished for everything but mining, and this industry is yet the one best bet of the Territory, despite its many hard knocks.-Seward Gate way.

ALUMNI DEFEAT ,
THE IUWN IEAhi

At the RlnK on Monday evening tne 1924 cnamplon nigh school bas- ketball team ot Alaska trimmed the Iast Wrangen town team to the tune ot eighteen, to eleven. Both teams showed up in tine form. The nigh school alumni started the game ofr with rush playing together with the consistency of clock works. uunderson found the open places on the floor and scored consistently. on the passes from his teammates and the first quarter ended with a score oi ten to nothing in favor of the All aska champions In the second quarter Bowman scored two baskets for the Town team and the half closed with a ten to four score.
 The second half opened with Lynch substituting for Bowman and u. Gunderson for Myers. The third quarter, closed without an addition al score being made on either side. In the final quarter the Alumni loosened up for a couple of minutes and the Town team scored an addi- tional seven points on two field goals and free throw by Loftus and field goal by Lynch. After this short spurt of luck the Champs frightened up for whirlwind finish and caged an additional eight points on two field goals by G. Gun derson and a field goal and two free throws by Coulter.
 The game throughout was much rougher than permitted under standard rules, and but very few fouls were called. Both teams play ed good ball but the Town team was clearly outclassed by their oppon- ents. The lineup was as follows:
 Myers & G.Gunderson (F) Loftus F. Gunderson (F) Bowman & Lynch Coulter GO Lewis Grant GO Lee Engstrom co Prescott
 As a curtain raiser for the feature game of the evening the grade school and high school teams played their second game against each other. The grade school was crip- pied by the loss of Marion Good rich, who was on the sick list, and Herbert Bradley, who happened to be out of town. In spite of the hand icap they put up fast game, Call breath and Loftus executing some very clever floor work. The high school team showed up in much bet ter form than at the previous game. Their playing was marked through out by consistent teamwork Wheel CT showed up in his old form and caged five goals in spite of the fact that he was closely guarded. Grant played with good judgment as running guard and Waters played a good game at center and figured in on some very fine pass work. The whistle found the high school in the lead with the long end of fourteen to ten score. The lineup of the two teams was as follows:

MORE EAST THAN WEST

Tourists are travelling on the road
through Winslow at the rate of one
svery three and half minutes
throughout the day, according to test
counts made by Il. II Bruchman on
two different occasions during the
last ten days.
The first test was made between
Winslow and Navajo, a 7G-mile
stretch. The second count was made
Saturday afternoon between Winslow
and Joseph City, and both times the
average was the same. Mr. Bruch-
man Counted the cars he met and
also those that passed him, but none
OF the local traffic was included in
he count According to the figures,
about as many cars overlook HIM go
mg east as he passed going west. In
view Of this fact many more cars
probably are passing eastward which
should be included in the count, as un-
doubtedly many cars were gong the
same direction as Mr. Bruchman that
did not overtake him.-W Winslow Mail.
