preventative Parker w. N. Doak,
legislative agent in Washington of
the Brotherhood Of Railroad Train
men, likes Willis, because 1t is
claimed he is a White House favor
lite, which means that he stands in
well with the Coolidge gang.
Senator Willis is denounced by
the A. F. of L. officials because of
his hostility to the Ohio Workmen's
Compensation Law. AS Ohio COVER
nor he signed the Gallagher Bill,
which repealed the mine run law
which the Ohio miners advocated
and for which they had fought for
% years. So that's Willis.
Thus the nonpartisan policy of
the American Federation of Labor,
clashing with the nonpartisan policy
of the railroad brotherhoods, eff
fectively cancel each other. Labor's
vote is thus neutralized on the ad-
vice of the old party politicians in
leading places in the labor move
ment. No greater service could be
rendered the anti-labor capitalist
interests.
But this isn't all. Laurence Todd,
the Federated Press correspondent
at Washington, reports that the In
ternational Association Of Machin-
lists has refused to take sides as
between the "two bad political
eggs in Ohio, and that President
Robertson of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen was likewise
loath to find any difference be-
tween them" Yet these same neu-
trality politicians become highly in
dignant at the Indifferent attitude
that workers display toward the
electoral struggle. They do not come
out for labor's own party. They are
just a dead weight in the class
fight.
Great masses Of workers in Ohio
will not be deceived by this mon
partisan" spectacle presented to
them by the oflcialdom as workers
political action. They must inevi-
tably come to the conclusion that
all so-called friends" as well as
"enemies" in the employers polit-
ical organizations are equally black
foes of the workingclass.
Evidence of the awakening of
Ohio labor is seen in the renewed
efforts in that state toward the
building of the Labor Party
The struggle for independent po-
litical action in Ohio, developing
during this campaign in spite of the
betrayal Of the oficialdom, must be
redoubled after the election day has
passed, when the so-called mon
partisanism," no matter which way
the election goes, viii be thoroly
discredited.
Ohio labor, turnout the great In
dustries of that state, can well set
an example to the workers of the
land in the capitalization of the
demand for independent political
action of the workers thru their
own Labor Party.

for authentic foreign news should
have his head examined.
THERE was a free tag day in Chi
l. cago yesterday. Girls nattily
dressed were giving away nayy-day
tags free. Admirals, rear-admirals (so-
called because they are usually to be
found sitting in swivel chairs), boosted
Of the strength of the navy before ro-
tary clubs and chambers Of commerce.
Excessively enthusiastic big-navy men
rallied against the Washington confer
ence and pulled the British lions tail
and the Mikado's mustache. The
American navy was crippled by Brit
ish diplomacy, they said.
A ND William Green, president of the
"A American Federation Of Labor did
his bit to help the big navy populari-
cation plan of the American imperial
lists. The keel of new cruiser was
laid in honor of Teddy" Roosevelt
yesterday, the anniversary OF terrible
Teddys" birthday. Green agreed to
drive the first rivet into the keel.
When will the American working class
drive a spike into Green's political
career? American labor is officially
in united front with the most reac-
tionary section of American capital
ism.
THERE are some people, well-inten-
toned liberals, who believe that
the officials of the A. F. of L. formu-
late national and international policies
Independently of any consideration Of
the policies of the. government which
is the executive committee of the
American capitalist class as a whole,
with particular regard for the-at the
time-dominant wing. The Mexican
question is case in point. Gompers,
ostentatiously, took the Mexican labor
movement under his wing at the same
time that American capitalism substi-
tuted a policy Of cautious diplomacy
for the mailed fist.
WALL STREET was out for hege-
w mony over South America and
the function of the A. F. Of L. was to
act as an auxiliary to Wall Street.
Gompers coddled the Mexican labor
leaders, got them to denounce Com
munists and to expel few Commu-
nists from the federation. But some
how or other Wall Street did not fare
as well as it expected. There was
trouble over the mineral and land
laws. Trouble developed with the
church. The o. s. government re-
sumed its threatening attitude and
now we find the A. F. of L. looking
coldly on the Mexican government
and unoficially threatening to with
draw from the Pan-American Fedora
ton of Labor, Of which the Mexican
labor movement is the second biggest
chunk.
NOW that our state department is
IN unoficially charging Gales with
trying to organize a Latin-American
bloc against American imperialism, all
those signs are worthy of serious con-
sideration. Intervention in Mexico is
not out Of the question. And with
William Green, driving the first rivet
in an American warship there is little
hope that the A. F. of L. bureaucracy
will raise any serious objection to a
southern march Of American troops
and navies.

ed organization had ordered the en-
dorsement of the Indiana senator be-
cause 'the khan was under an obliga-
ton to him."
Meyers also drew the name of Will
liam F. zumbrunn, general counsel of
the khan, into the inquiry. zumbrunn's
duties in Washington, he said, con-
sisted partly of exacting legislation
favorable to the khan and partly in
seating senators"
To Consult Wizard.
Another amazing story of khan ac-
tivities was told by James V. Bolen,
former khan secretary of the state OF
Indiana. who declared a delegation of
klansmen took the mayors of Indian
apolis and Evansville to Washington
to get the approval of Imperial Wizard
Hiram w. Evans on local appoint
ments. The trip was taken on khan
funds, he added, chiefly to get Evans
TO approve the appointment of Charles
]. Orbison, a democrat, as corporation
counsel Of Indianapolis by Mayor John
L. Duvall, a republican. Duvall was
one Of the party.
The same trip also was described by
Meyers, who said the klansmen met in
the ONCE of Senator Watson while in
Washington.
Bolen told Of a second visit to Wash
lngton by Indiana khan leaders for the
purpose of ousting Walter F. Bossert
as grand dragon because the latter
would not go down the line for Wat
son" The witness confirmed the tes-
timony of Ralph B. Bradford, former
Grown Point, Ind, klansman, that
Watson had attended a session Of khan
leaders at Washington, over the GUST
ing Of Bradford.
Meyers, now attached to the office
of the secretary of state in Indiana,
said he worked as an organizer for the
khan in Indiana and Minnesota. He
was a "knighthawk" and trouble
shooter for the khan.

Officials Of Labor Show
Their First Concern Is
with Old Party Politics
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

THE present congressional cam
4 paign has again revealed many
outstanding officials of labor as be-
ing old party politicians first, and
secondly, or, not at all, concerned
with the actual problems of the
working class.
This is the only explanation for
the fact that President William
Green, head of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, shouts democrat,
while the heads of the various rail-
road brotherhoods are yelling re-
publican in the present senatorial
struggle in Ohio.
Under the tutelage of Samuel
Gompers, the A. F.. of L. always
trailed the donkey in its political
aspirations. The democratic middle
class politicians were willing to
listen to Gompers- at greater
length than the politicians of great
capitalism in the republican ma
tional conventions, that Gompers
habitually attended. William Green
has the additional incentive, how
ever, of having always been an
Ohio democrat. Instead of develop
ing the independent political power
Of the workers, as he was repeated
ly ordered to do by numerous con-
ventions of the United Mine Work
ers Of America, in which he rose to
the position of international secre-
tary-treasurer, Green kept glued to
the donkey's tail, had himself elect
ed democratic state senator from
his home town of Coshocton, and
so loyal were his services on be-
half of the ruling class Of the state
that he was lifted" to the presi-
dency of the state senate. Green,
therefore, in order to maintain, his
political alliances in Ohio, issues a
letter endorsing the candidacy of
Atlee Pomerene, the democratic
candidate for United States SEN
ator.
This Pomerene, who has an anti
labor record already in the United
States senate, is denounced by the
railroad brotherhoods as positive
ly dangerous" The railroad officials
ask how any worker can vote for
man whose preiudices against the
labor movement are so intense and
personal as Pomerene's seem to be-.
In the senate, Pomerene was just as
loyal to the railroad corporation in
terests as Kellogg and Poindexter,
the former now secretary Of state
in Coolidge's cabinet. 9y
But the railroad brotherhoods
offer in place of Pomerene, none
other than the republican, Senator
Frank B. Willis, candidate for re-
election, who is attacked by the A.
F. of L. officials.
The railroad outfit is closely tied
up to the republican crowd. The
infamous Watson-Parker bill was
sponsored jointly in the house and
senate by these two resctionary re-
publicans, Senator Watson and Re-

MELLON AGAINST
 SILVER PURCHASE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 10. (P) A breach in the Senate banking com mittee disclosed six democrats were backing Andrew Mellon, secretary of the Treasury in opposing the silver purchase. During the legislation the republican majority voting tried to override the secretary.
 The Pittman bill, which would re- quire the treasury department to carry out the terms of wartime silver was contained in the purchase act. Mel lon declared this will be five million dollar gift to the silver producers, and will compel the purchase of fourteen million ounces of silver metal which the government doesn't need.
 Phipps, republican of Colorado, de- clared the Pittman law required that silver be coined into standard silver dollars at a price which the Treas ury would gain more than four mil lion.

 Spain withdrew from the league.

transportation depends as to our prog ress with this. If we can compete with the local hardwood of the coast, nam ly, maple and alder, we can develop big business from our birch.
 Tacoma has big market for clear birch logs and will take all that can be supplied from ten inches in cir conference and larger, in any length and at price of S60 a thousand in the log. The present rate of the Alaska Steamship Company from this section is S10 thousand, and MT. Stannard advises me that they are ready to CO., operate at any time and will lower this rate if possible.
 In the Portland market, the price va ries in statements ranging from $60 to S70, and in cases to a S100 for cants or dimension and they can use stuff that will square as low as two inches.
 Get Logging Cost Down.
 However, while I look to see in the course of time a big business in our birch, it is not a promotion proposi- tion for anyone to go outside with; at least not now. We have a lot of work to do among ourselves to get our log ging cost down to the lowest figure and when sending out any test ship ments we must only send the best stuff we can. Not all of the birch is good. Good clear stuff is demanded, and a clean heart. The color of the bark makes no difference.
 Tourist Season, 1926, Huge.
 It is predicted we will have more tourists than ever before. A million ollars are to be spent jointly by Wash ington, Oregon and California in ad- vertising with slogan, See the Pa cific Coast and Alaska"
 Many eastern railroads in their fold CTS and pamphlets advertise travel over "our" road on your" way to AL aska Many middle western states and all of the coast states are using Alaska as a pulling power to bring visitors through and to their states.
 I am closing this by saying, we are living in the best country on earth, among the best people on earth and none of us fully realize our wonderful resources, possibilities and opportuni- ties. Alaska will hit her true stride some day, and will astonish the world. We may not all share in this, but we have been part in the making.
 More power to Alaska and to us who are fortunate to live here.

PACIFIC FLEET
 MAY USE BAY
 AS NAVAL BASE
JUNEAU CHAMBER EXTENDS IN- VTATION TO FLEET CALL
 FOR VISIT
DEFINITE AS VET
Rumor of Visitation of Fleet Cur. rent for Last Three
 Months.

Two months ago, The Seward Gateway published local rumor to the effect that to all intents and purposes the Pacific Fleet would maneuver in this district this sum- mer, and that Resurrection Bay would be used as the Fleets base. The Gateway dispatched an Associa- ted Press wire to Seattle to that ef- feet, and in reply, from naval head quarters in San Francisco, officials pronounced no official orders for such a cruise or maneuver had been received.
 However, it is evident some such move by the naval forces is being contemplated, for the local chamber of Commerce received letter from the Juneau Chamber recently, in which they state it has been re- portedthe Pacific Fleet is coming to Alaska and they believe it would be appropriate for detachments from this fleet to visit Alaska ports. The letter continues that the Juneau chamber is extending an invitation to the Secretary of the Navy to have such visits made that they believe a similar action by other chambers in the Territory would assist in the matter.
 By reason of other local activities, due to recent communications re- ceived from the States, naval pre- parations of some sort are being made and that these activities are directed toward Seward, is conf- dently expressed through local chan nels.
