Sending Back to Alaska Flower and Sugar Beet Seeds for Expert
 mental Purposes

The Alaska Railroad needs another six or seven millions of dollars to properly ballast the road alone, F. c. Mccoy, we'll known contributor to the Los Angeles Examiner stated to the Seward Gateway during his brief visit in the city last week. Stating further, MT. Mccoy said that large sum should be appropriated also for the sole purpose of inducing settlers along the right of way and assisting them in getting a start. He heartily believes in some form of a cOlOniza- tion scheme for as he stated, it was along these lines that the West was populated. "Pioneering in these days and especially in Alaska, is not nearly so hard as it was in the early days of those who came Vest"
 Alaska Is In It's Infancy
 Alaska is yet in her infancy, MT. Mccoy continued, and this is right 1 from the heart when I make that re- mark. You have a wonderful future before you, but like everything else, ] it is hard for those living here to grasp the fact. A newcomer realizes these things much quicker, everything being new. Upon my return to Cali fornia I will have a story in the Ex- aminer entitled, Alaska as I See It. This will deal entirely with facts and material I have gained on this trip. There is a great deal of agitation in Los Angeles with reference to trip to your Territory, inquiries relative to travel in the country, ways and means, etc."
 Sending Sugar Beet Seed
 MT. Mccoy is mailing to the Mata-
 nuska experimental farm sugar beet
 seed Agriculture is one of his hob bies and he is anxious to see whether
 or not sugar beets can be raised in
 this region. To the Fairbanks exper- flower seeds which he is under the impression will thrive in the Interior valley While in Fairbanks he re- lated to the superintendent of the
 farm the facts in regard to Burbank s most recent product, corn stalk with two ears of corn on each stalk Sourdouqh Can Live CheapIy He ventured the prediction that providing agricultural production be followed more extensively that a sour dough could live on $15O a year. Aside
 from raising vegetables in a truck
 garden the Alaskan could put up fst
 and game sufficient for his needs. l Formed Club on the Road
 An Alaskan "Why don't you" clut l was formed by the party MT. Mccoy travelled with. The idea for the for
 nation of the club received it's inspi ] ration from various places visited o1 the tour, at which it appeared Alas , kans were asked right off, Why don you do this; why don't you do that?' If the party could have obtained but tons at the time they would have haC them made bearing the organization name on them.

FARMERS LOST 5
BILLION LAST
YEAR, IS REPORT
Average Income $671
per Family

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Ameri-
can farmers actually ran behind, in
the year 1924, at least s5,144,00O, 900,
despite all the hue and cry about their
restored prosperity, says Benjamin c.
Marsh. managing director of the
Farmers National Council, Analysing
reports from the federal department
of agriculture.
Marsh shows that the combined
value of crops and live stock was
$12,404, 100000 in 1924, while the APP
proximate cost of producing them, ex-
elusive of labor of farmers and their
families, was sS.24S,OOO.0O0. This left
an average of s671.9S per farm family.
Federal taxes. payments on interest
and principal of $4,000, 100000 of
mortgages and short term debt, pay
ment of insurance, purchase Of clothes
and food not produced on the farm,
upkeep of farms and buildings, sup
port Of churches, etc, and savings for
old age had to be covered by this
pitiful sum. Figuring the minimum
average return for the labor of each
farm family at $1,000 for the year,
the total due for this farm labor was
S9,S0O,00O, 900. Taking from 1t the
S4,156,0O0,O00 actually received, we
have an unpaid difference OF $5,144,-
100000.
Marsh argues that IL the admins

LONDON, April 15.--Accordina to
reports of the latest shooting fatality
in Bulgaria, King Boris had a close
shave. This must be taken literally,
as the royal parsonage had his mus
taehe partly annputated by bullet
which missed penetrating the august
anatomy by several hairs.
The capitalist press have blamed
the shooting on the Communists, tho
they admit the marksmen were not
visible. The king was on his way
to the capital when the incident took
place. Two of his aides were killed
and his chauffeur was wounded.
One of the generals prominent in
the movement that overthrow Siam
boulisky in 1923 was killed in the
streets Of Sofia yesterday. The pres.
7nt government Of Bulgaria holds
power by the dagger and the bullet
md it seems thatsall the bullets are

On the strengthen inspired rumors
that a revolutions was scheduled to
take place in Bulgaria on April Is,

permitted the Zankoff government to
recruit an additional force of three
thousand soldiers Ito put down any
possible uprising. The remnants Of
Baron Wrangels troops are CHARTERED

GOOD REASON FOR
CHINESE HATRED
OF FOREIGNERS
$4,000 Children Under
10 Doomed to Mills
Especial to The Daily worker.l

SHANGHAI, China, April 15.-
Quite to the expectation of the Com
munists among the Chinese workers
in the textile mills of Shanghai, but
coming as surprise to the liberals
who, in the so-called "anti-child labor
committee" proposed that the annual
meeting of foreign taxpayers approve
of law forbidding children less than
10 years old to work in the mills
the said foreign taxpayers simply boy
cotted the meeting and thus defeated
the law.
This is possible because, under the
beautiful arrangement of the interna-
tional capitalists rule over Shanghai
and its hundreds of thousands of Chi
nese wage workers, no municipal ordi-
nance is effective in the International
settlement without the foreign taxpay-
ers' meetings, held annually, vote ap-
prevail.
So the law-even though it limited
the age of child workers to no higher
than 10 years, and permitted chill
dren over 10 years to work along with
other workers and fixed the mill work
ers by law to a 12-hour day and a
seven-day week with only one day off
in two weeks, failed.
The municipal council invited the
foreign taxpayers to the regular an
nual meeting of taxpayers so that the
measure the council was willing to
pass might be considered. The lib
erals awaited the meeting of taxpay-
ers with fond hopes. When it was ap-
parent that the foreign taxpayers were
boycotting the meeting, the attend
ance falling 300 below the necessary
number to make quorum, the hope
full committee became indignant, but
remained helpless.
The $4,000 Chinese children under
10 years of age now working as long
as IA and is hours day in the Shang-
hal textile mills will keep right on
doing so il they can stand it and live.
This is the verdict of the foreign tax
payers.

BELIEF FRENCH
INCITED ARABS
AGAINST BRITON
London Angered Over
Lords Flight
Especial to The Dafly worker.)


PARIS, April Is. The bitterly
hostile feeling that exists between a
section of the French bourgeoisie and
the ruling class Of England is ac-
centuated by the severe criticism
launched against French rule in Syria,
by the London press as result of the
stoning of Balfour by a great mass
of Arabians. The British are incensed
because they believe the precipitate
retreat of their ambassador will have
damaging effect on British prestige
in the Near East, and will increase
French prestige in inverse ratio.
Hostile to Both Powers.
It is even limited in British official
circles that the riot was instigated by
the French. If this is true, it must
be said that it did not require any
great efforts to incite the Arabs
against the British In fact, the
natives are hostile to both French
and British, but they hate the British
more, because they see the latter's
power spreading out to bring under
the imperial heel peoples of the east
from the Golden Horn to the Straits
of Malacca.
The Turkish government which is
supported by France is making war
on the opposition party, which is
secretly supported by England. The
opposition is believed to be implicated
in the Kurdish revolt, a British I'M
dertaking having for its aim placing
the rich oil territories in Mosul under
the control of England.
