BACK FROM
 D0WN RIVER
Carl L0ttsfeldt Returns and Tells of Roads
 and Trails.

C. L. Lottsfeldt, local head Of the Alas1sa Road Commission, has just returned here from a trip of inspec- tion of winter trails in the Lower Kusk6Kwlm and Yukon river dis tricts.
 General outlines of the trip made by Mr. Lottsfeldt are as follows
 Leaving Tokotna, he traveIed to Flat, and. thence to the mouth of Crooked creek, on the Kuskokwim, and from there straight by the river to Akiak. Leaving Akiak on his re turn trip, he went up to the head of Bear creek, and then over the divide to the head of Ophir creek, which he followed to the mouth, and across WhiteHsh lake and back to the Kus- kokWim again. From Kalishak he journeyed to Pimute, on the Yukon river, and thence to Holy Cross, and returned to Tokotna via Anvik, Shageluk and Iditarod.
 Mir Lottsfeldt reports most of the trails he travelled over in very good condition The rivers froze up rather rough, and late overfows along the shores, after again freezing, made a splendid trail
 One hundred and ten miles of new trail was cut and tripoded in this sec tion. A new trail was tripoded for twenty miles across the tundra from Tuluksak Landing to the Foothills cabin, on Bear creek. This is the trail used by the New York-Alaska Dredg- ing Company for freighting all thei1 dredge equipment. The two shelter cabins along this trail have also beer covered with new corrugated iron. A new winter portage was also cut from Kaltshak, on the Kuskokwin, to Pi. mute, on the Yukon. This trail has been well cutSand tripoded with gooC beacons on the larger lakes, making 1t perfectly safe for any winter traV- cling over this route route. { Sixty miles of new trail was also cut from Shageluk to Iditarod Excellent work was done on this trail. Across the tundra tripods were placed every hun dred yards, and inathe timber the trail was cut olt about fourteen feet wide, making itimpossible for anyone to lose the way.
 Two new shelter cabins have beer constructed in this district, one at the mouth of Eldorado creek into Bo- nanza creek, near Flat, ana the other at the mouth of Ophir creek or Whitefsh lake.

MINERS EXPEL
LAWMAKERF FOR
AIDING BOSSES
Stavitski Didn't Show
Up for Trial
Ry Par TooHEY.

NANTICOKE, Penna., Jan. H.
Local Union 1899, United Mine Work
ers of America today expelled from
membership John Stavatski, mem
Der of the labor bloc" in the state
house of representatives and mem
Der of this local union. Until now his
case was indefinite and was referred
to the Nanticoke policy committee
for action. The policy committee re-
ferred it back to the local union with
authority to act in any manner the
local union saw it fit to. His expul-
sion followed.
This action was taken Immediately
after Stavatski signed his name to
the infamous Legislators plan" of
settling the strike, containing clause
after clause against the miners, word
for word the attitude and position of
the operators. This plan was con-
demned by the miners thruout the
anthracite and the legislators were
characterized as pawns of the bosses.
Stavatski, whose constituency is 1909
unionized, were more violent in their
condemnation than any others.
Never Showed Up. .ea a.,
Stavatski was called upon three
times to appear before the policy
committee and his local union to ex-
plain his actions but apparently Mr..
Stavatski thought the climate more
serene in and around the state cap
itol The local then referred the case
to the policy committee, then the
above action was taken. The policy
committee represents 10000 miners of
the Nanticoke territory and indica-
tions are Mr.. Stavatski will have one
sweet time being reelected.
This action on the part of the legis-
lator who posed as a miner and a
member of the union in selling out to
the bosses is being utilized by the
progressives to point out at the various
local union meetings they go to, the
logical consequence of electing men
to Office who run as workers friends"
on the republican ticket. This be.
trayal of Stavatski, who posed as a
union miner, will show the miners
how beautiful is this policy CT IRE.

Shop Crafts Hardest Hit.
The shop crafts have suffered most
in these layoffs with approximately
$4,000 fewer jobs than in October,
1928. The train and engine service
employees follow with about $4,000
fewer employed in 1925 than in 1928.
Since 1923 the shopmen's October
payroll has dropped from $76,026,274
to $65,2S4,S59 or more than IA per
cent. While in spite of the general
s per cent wage increases secured by
the transportation brotherhoods the
total amount paid them in wages has
increased only about 1 per cent.
100000 Less Than 1920.
Comparison with October, 1920,
shows an even greater saving for pro-
fits at the expense of Jobs and wages.
The number of employees has been re-
duced from 2,113,010 to 1,SO0,45S, or
by more than 100000. Total wages
for the month have been reduced
from 1890, S97, 666 to $3.50, 50S,S2S, or
more than SSO,O0O,O00.
This means that since October,
1920, the railroads have Topped "a per
cent off the amount paid out in wag-
es. In the same period the average
wage paid per employe has dropped
about IL per cent from s156 to $1S9
for the month.

BOSTON, Mass.-As l write about

template on its various phases, my
mind gypsies somewhat and l find
myself reverting to the last national
convention of the A. F. of l.. have
distinct and vivid impression Of the
very cool and rather discourteous re-
ception given to A. A. Purcell, the
English labor leader, when he voiced
there his plea for workers brother
hood, and can't help thinking, profane
tho the thought may be, that the at
titude displayed toward Purcell at
that convention would not have been
melted out had his audience been
these present striking miners.
The striking miners have the fore
ground position in today's picture, but
back OF them and extending even
beyond our limited vision are the
forms OF little children, on whose faces
Is Enthusiastically written the story of
successive and unsatished wants. Very
early in life they learn the lesson OF
industrial landlordism, and ideas are
being planted in their young minds
which will grow with them to be
erased only when the scheme OF things
which left the black impressions will
have beeen totally eliminated.
