DISTRESS SIGNALS
 FLOWN BY LONE MAN
 ON TILGADA ISLAND
OLDTIMER INVESTIGATES THIRTY YEAR OLD PROSPECT
 IS MAROONED

H. Martin, an aged prOspector, said to be over 70 years of age, returned to Seward Sunday on the Starr, from Tigalda Island, where he has spent the past three months, Investigating ledge he discovered thirty years ago. It is stated the prospect did not come up to his expectations fol- lowing further examination.
 The elderly gentleman experienced quite lot of hardship on his recent trip, it is reported, owing to the fact that on last months trip of the Starr, due to the severe weather prevailing off the island, the vessel, which was to have picked him up, could not heave to, being forced to proceed on to Seward. Mir. Martin had hung up distress signals all over the is land, following the Starr's departure last month and kept fires burning at night in an effort to attract the at tention of passing boats. When the Starr. stopped this trip, MT. Martin told passengers on the vessel that he was under the impression he would have to remain on the island all winter and to that end had built a shelter and was preparing to lay in quantity of sea gulls for winter food. When picked up by the Starr the other day, the oldtimer had but sufficient grub for a few days long CT.
 MT. Martin continued on to Seattle Monday on the Starr.

The Progressive Miners Committee
points out that the method for ultl-

possible for them longer to cling to

Instead Of njunetions-a hated
word to every miner-the miners
must call mass meetings, mobilize
every miner to support their fight,
elect delegates to the convention,
fight on the floor Of the convention
for reinstatement Of the member
ship and for seats as delegates.
The progressive miners counsel
| the Anthracite miners to re-
tain their Grievance Committees, to
call mass meetings Of the local uni
ons and where possible to march In
a great body to the convention, de-
handing the seating of delegates
and the reinstatement of the MEM

Committee warns their brothers

in the Anthracite, to use the great
est care lest their tactics in the
struggle worsen instead of better
their condition.
The Progressive Miners Commit
tee feels that the miners Of the An

means to protect their rights than
to appeal to the capitalist courts

are a part of the capitalist govern

In this matter, The Progressive

RULED ILLEGAL

Says Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Ore
gon School law, requiring all children
between eight and sixteen years Of
age to attend public schools exclusi-
vely, was declared unconstitutional
today by the United States supreme
court.
Validity Of the law, passed in 1925,
was attacked by the society of sisters
of the holy names of Jesus and Mary,
catholic educational corporation,
and by Hill Military Academy, a nom
sectarian educational institution.
Lower federal courts held the state
law void because unconstitutional. An
appeal was taken by the state, which
the supreme court over-ruled in its
decision.
Protects Private School
The decision of the court was head
by Justice McGreynolds:
"The inevitable, practical result Of
enforcement Of the law will destroy
these private schools" said the
Justice. "These schools have long
been recognized as filling lawful
need and purpose"
The attack on the law in the
supreme court here was broadened by
challenges OF its constitutionality in
general by the American Jewish COM
mittee and the north pacific union con-
ference of seventh day adventists.

UNIV. Of A., and just as The Pro-
gressive Miners Committee has as
often warned against any dual uni
on to the UNIV. of A., so in this
instance does The Progressive Min
ers Committee caution the miners
Of the Anthracite against either du-
alism or appeal to the capitalist
courts.
INSTEAD of appealing to the capt.
lalist courts, the Anthracite miners
should appeal to the wide mass Of
members OF the UNIV. of A. and
rally their union brothers to strug-
gle with and for them. The fight
against the Lewis machine is not
limited to the Anthracite region.
On the contrary thruout the whole
nation, the rank and file Of MEM
bers of the United Mine Workers
are In revolt. And furthermore,
they are following the policies and
program of The Progressive Miners
Committee.
Miners of the AnthraelteI Re-
aIize that The Progressive Miners
Committee program and candidate
were tremendous factors in the last
international election. Realize that
even Lewis machine admitted that
Voyzey poIIed $1,000 votes. Realize
that voyzey actually won the cleo
ton, and that Lewis has refused to
issue tabulated returns Of the vote
by local unions. Realize that your
fight must be made an issue thru
out the International, but that to do
so you must make the fight within
the international and not In the
capitalist courts.
The fight against the Lewis ma
chine cannot be successful in the
capitalist courts. The mass Of min
ers Of America have had bitter ex-
perIence with capitalist courts and
will not approve of an appeal. to

csc against the bloody autocraey -
the foreign police in the international
settlement, the clash between the al
lied imperIaIlsts and the exploited and
oppressed Chinese who are shot down

assuming the proportions Of war.

Strike Against Japanese Bosses.
The strike which started the whoIa
affair was directed against the Japan

mands were headed by such elemen-

Of workers by foremen and similar
moderate questions.
When the international mixed court,
acting in the interests Of the Japan

living on the sweat Of the Chinese
workers, convicted seventeen Chinese,
some of them college students who
had aided the strike, of conspiracy,
5000 students attempted to march in
peaceful demonstration thru the for

Marching down Marking road, car
rying banners, they were set upon by
Sikh police Of the British forces and
those carrying the banners at the
front were arrested. The students at
tempted to rescue their comrades and
the British opened fire, killing ten stu
dents and wounding a great many.
Still more were arrested merely for
possessing literature concerning the
textile strike.
This morning crowds Of Chinese
students and workers packed the Nan
king road and were attacked again
by the police detachments. The crowds
becoming angry at the use of fire hose
turned upon them by foreign oppres-

were driven back only after three

The street carmen Of this city will

ton Of the Chicago Surface Lines, ac-
cording to a statement made by Will

The proposal that the men accept a
five per cent cut In wages was made
by Guy r. Richardson, vIce-presldent
Of the company and superintendent
Of operation. The men are demanding
a wage Increase of five cents an hour.
These demands are very modest,
considering the hard work required of
motormen and conductors. Their
hours are irregular, until after they
serve several years. when they may
secure steady runs. 1t is a nerve
wrecking task, particularly the work
OF a motorman in this age Of reckless

II is the belief OF many Of the union
carmen that they could have won
their demands at the time the present
agreement was signed IL they held
out for another while. The rank and
file OF the unions have no confidence
in the company officials. They know
that President Blair is paid by the big
stockholders TO make as much profit
out OF the street car system as is pos
sible. The profits must come out of
the labor OF the men who operate the
lines. Blairs business is to make the
employees work as cheaply as possible.
Unless he can do this somebody else
will have his job. Therefore those car
men who believe that Blair is friend
OF the union are mistaken. Blair would
like to smash the union, IL he could.
But he knows that the carmen will
