Realize Importance.
DAILY WORKER,
Greetings:
"The American Negro Labor Con-
gress is adopting this method of ac-
knowledging the value and Importance
Of your present campaign in the
Union Stock Yards for better pay and
better working conditions for the
workers there.
While, what you are doing is for
the benefit of the working class in
general (as it should be-, we of the
American Negro Labor Congress know
that it is at this time of special bene-
fit and help to the Negro workers en-
ployed in the meat packing industry.
1t is a fact, widely known and well
understood, that the Negro workers,
of all the workers who are under the
iron heel of oppression in the meat
packing industry as the most op-
pressed
Packers Stir Prejudices.
1--WE are alive to the ract that there
is deliberate and persistent attempt
on the part of the packers to drive a
wedge between colored and white en-
plcyes that there might always re-
main means at hand to keep these
two groups Of workers antagonized.
Pledge Cooperation.
Knowing the Importance of the
stock yards as an industrial and en-
ploying center we consider your pres
ent campaign to be of major import
ance toward the shaping of definite
work among the workers themselves
for organization that will be per-
manent in its nature and activity.
Wishing you all the success in the
world, we stand ready as workers
organization to cooperate with you in
any manner possible.
Yours for the cause of labor,

gress,

POLISH WORKERS
WELCOME DAILY
WORKER EXPOSE
'TrybunG RObOtniczG' to
Aid in c Campaign


In the meet packing houses Of the
nation, wherever we may 60, we will
find great masses Of Polish workers
working long hours for small pay pro-
duelng meat and lts by-products. These
Polish workers most Of whom are not
able to speak English to any great
extent are made the victims Of the
most intensive exploitation. The work
they perform s hard and heavy. They
must stand in slime and muddy water
day in day out.
They are the ones who are com
PEELED to do the unpleasant work in the
yards along with the Negro workers.
The Negro and Polish workers are
the worst treated in the yards. The
DAILY WORKER which is at present
carrying on campaign in the stock
yards of the nation exposing the vile
conditions and the exploitation of the
workers in this industry received
letter of congratulation and greeting
from Trybuna Robotnicza, the organ
of the Polish bureau Of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
Send Stories TO "DaIIy"
In its greeting Trybuna Robotnicza
points out that the bosses fear an
expose of the conditions and that they
call upon all Polish workers in the
yards to send in stories to The DAILY
WORKER and Trybuna Robotnicza:
DAILY WORKER,
lib w. Washington Blvd.
Chicago.
Dear Comrades,
"Your campaign in the stockyards
is only one of many good things that
The DAILY WORKER has done for
| the workers. 1t is a Communist duty
to expose conditions under which
workers live and work. And this ex-
pose has done much good. It is very
important because it is the workers
themselves who write Of the condi-
tions. With the mass distribution of
The DAILY WORKER In front of the
slaughter-houses your message is
reaching the clearinghouse workers.
1.-THE bosses fear an expose of the
conditions In the plant. One of the
workers in one Of the Chicago pack
ing-houses in story to our paper,
Trybuna Robotnicza, and after this
story was published and q number of
copies were distributed by him he was
| fired.
There are many Polish workers in
the stockyards, who are exploited by
the bosses along with the other work
ers. Many of them are under the in
fiuence of the Polish reactionaries,
who preach to them and tell them
they should have nothing in common
with the other workers. These Polish
workers will now see that the other
workers in the yards are their true
friends. Not single Polish paper is
writing about conditions in the
yards-but this is being done by
Communist daily.
| To Aid DAILY WORKER.
I'm the next issue of Trybuna Robot
nicza there will be number of stories
on the conditions existing in the
yards and we are joinin your cam
paign and will help you reach the
Polish workers.
We appeal to the Polish workers to
help The DAILY WORKER in its cam
paign and write in their stories about
their conditions.
Hail to The DAILY WORKER,
champion of the workers cause.
Your in the struggle,
"Trybuna Robotnicza,

GOOSE WOMAN AMAZING
DRAMA PLAYS LIBERTY


When one hears that a murder
mystery story is to be screened at
certain theatre, he may be fol-
lower of that. type Of picture He
will rush to the first performance.
On the other hand, there are
many who avoid !. pictures with a
murder. To this latter class as
well as their more daring brothers,
"The Goose Woman" a Universal
Jewel, written by Rex Beach, which
is now at the Liberty theatre, is
recommended.
While murder is involved, the
story is one Of the most unusual
and heart gripping dramas that has
ever been shown in a motion pict-
ure theatre.
Thrills follow thrills as the story
starts from novel beginning and
rushes through a dramatic but hap
py ending, passing on the way
many unusual developments, which
make this picture one that pleases
all.
"A publicity-mad, degraded opera
singer and murder near her home
start the story. Then she falsifies
a story about seing the murder and
accidentally brings about the arrest
of her son. She is forced to
reveal who she is and the succeed
ing events are damned with sus-
pense.
Clarence Brown directed, while
Melville Brown adapted the story
for the screen. Both achieved tri.
umphs.
Louise Dresser. plays the title
role while the other members Of the
all-star cast are Jack Pickford, Con
stance Bennett, Spottiswood Ait
Ike, Geroge Cooper, Gustav Won Sey-
fferitz, George Nichols and Marc
! MacDermott.

He did not realize the seriousness of his condition until after leaving Ketchikan. As a re- suit of a leaking exhaust in the en- zine of his boat, his system had ab7 sorbed fumes which poisoned his entire system. He came to Peters burg md was under the care of Drs. Standard and Standard from W ednesday until Saturday, when he returned to Juneau. Reports from Juneau state that he immedi- ately went under medical care but was unable to withstand the rayages of the poison. He died very shortly after returning to Ju- neau.

INDUSTRY GROWS

The reindeer industry in Alyaska promises to become an important factor in the future of the Terri tory, says the Biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is comparatively a recent undertaking and as a com mercial enterprise dates back only few years. The original stock of 1,28O animals imported from Siberia 25 years ago has increased t oabout 350.000, distributed thru out the Territory in no herds.
 The rapidly growing industry re- .quires that scientific studies be made for it's best development, and under Congressional authorization such studies were begun by the de- partment in 1920 thru the Biologi- cal Survey. Improved methods have been recommended to herd owners for handling reindeer. and utilizing the range. A study of the range is now being made with a view to inadgerating a permanent system of grazing allotments. Care full and continuous inspection will be required to determine whether an area is being under or over- grazed.
 bou. adoption of improved methods oy.. cross breeding with native cali of corralling and branding, keep ing eled reindeer in each herd, and providing for herd ownership on the percentage basis for incrs ases with enc registered brand fo. a community herd. fl
 The Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. has copies oe the ne;g bulletin now ready and copies of same may be had for the asking.

 SKELETON

The skeleton in the closet" of the Harding administration was nu- covered and the bones of Jesse Smith made to rattle whn Senator J. Thomas Hefiin of Alabama de- ciared this week that Smith was murdered because he knew too I, uch and it would open the eyes of the nation" If the inside story of the Fall-Doheny acQuittal was also revealed.
 He declared that Secretary Mel lon advanced s5,00O,000 to the Re- publican National Committee and Smith was delegated to receive back -s2,0o0,000 of it from bootleg gers throughout the United States through the aid of District Attor- hes. He pictured Mellon as re- ceiving funds collected by Smith in payment for advances made to the Harding campaign funds.
 Testimony of former District boyles of Southern Alabama in the Mobile Court proceedings were read to substantiate his statements.
 Senator Hefiin said. Smith knew more than anybody else con- nected with the Department of Justice of the high handed work of former Attorney General Daugh- erty. The reason for getting rid of him, was a vry strong one. We conducted an investigation into the whole thing. It was rumored that Smith grew exceedingly nervous over it and had decided to make a clean breast. He was murdered. |"

GOES EAST

F. A. Rasmussen, President of the Bank of Aalska is reported as being enroute to Washington for the purpose of completing with the Secretary of the Interior, a lease of the Metlakatla cannery to Rev. Henry R .Sanborn of Ketchikan and associates. The lease is to be effective next year and is to be for seven years.
 Rev. Sanborn president of the corporation has appointed A. H. Z..,gler of Ketchikan. Herbert Mur- cnison of Metlakatla, Mr. Rasmus- on, of Skagway and Mrs. N. R. San- torn of Ketchikan as represents tives of the directorate.
 The company expects to get all it's boxes from the Metlakatla saw mill, receipts of which will accrue one hundred percent to the city.
 We have wondered why 1t is that the lease of the Metlakatla cannery should be made for a number of years. In the instance of the last Ioaaa &o Ctmorda fho %ouc o% No% lakatla did not benefit as fully as they should have, had the matter been made more competitive. We wonder further whether or not the Secretary of the Interior made lit a uoint to secure competitive bid ing before making this lease.

|AlAsKANs URGED SUPPORT
 NEAR EAST RELIEF

teen days, seventy-five shocks being registered. Tn the entire district, five hundred people were killed out right, twelve thousand houses are in ruins and eighty thousand home less people face the long severe winter of the Caucasus. Their extra clothing and bedding are turied under tons of debris and stones, now frozen into a solid mass after having been soaked by days of rain, sleet and snow. Their poultry and cattle have been killed and food supply of the entire region destroy ed.
 scarcely know which to admire the more-the heroism of the Am erican relief workers, the unselfish- ness of the children who gave up their food and blankets to children less fortunate, or the people of the thirty-fve wrecked villages who, af- ter years of hardships, had just be- gun to come back, now finding themselves deprived of food, cloth. ing and shelter. In spite of their hopeless circumstances, they grim ly went to work again cheered by the knowledge that America which had saved from death more than 135,000 of their children, would again extend aid in this crisis. Shelter was immediately provided by the Americans for eighteen hund1 ed village children. To re- store the wrecked buildings and to care for this additional number of children will require an outlay of at least $300,000 by the Near Fast Relief Work this winter.
 Because I am so sure that Alas ka people, when they understand this situation, will not be satisfied to do less than they have always done in such an emergency, I am asking their generous contribu- tions to be sent to Western Wash ington and Alaska Near East Re- lief Headquarters, 339 Burke Build ing, Seattle.
 Next week I am to tell you the story of a man, who, almost single handed and alone, is responsible for the saving of the lives of four thousand children.

NEW JUDGES

The Alaska Weekly is the father, or is it mother of the report, that Judge Wickersham of Juneau Is slated for the judgeship of the Third Division in place of Judge Rltchie who could not prevail upon the Senate to confirm his nomina- tion while they also state that At torney General John Rustgard is slated for judgeship in the First Division. Wonder if this Holiday trip of certain editors of this Divi- sion has anything to do with or against the appointment of these candidate. There are others how ever.
 Anyhow, somebcdies uncle to a very dear friend heard it whisper ed to somebody elses sister-in-law that such is the lineup in Washing ton. We wouldn't be sorry, were it true. Judge Wickersham and Attorney General Rustgard need no introduction to the citizens of Alas ka and with such material at hand we fail to agree with the politicians of Juneau that theer is mo avail able material" for those offices in Alaska.

The gasboat Reliance, capt B. w. Stagg was destroytd by an explo- sion off False Point Arden, Taku Inlet while bound for this port.
 Stagg, owner of the boat was in the engine room at the time of the explosion and was blown through the window into the water. His partner, H. A. Johnson, who was on the after. deck showed off in a skiff just as the boat sank from following explosions.
 The two men tore a seat from the skin and used it for an oar and got ashore
 boatmen who saw the explosion reported the matter to the Coast Guard Cutter Unalga, which i'm IT mediately to the aid of the two men. Stagg was severely burned and his ears frozen while Johnson was apparently none the worse for the experience.
 The explosion was thought due to hot engine caused by the wa ter leaking out of the jacket The oil in the bilge took fire while stagg was attempting to fix the en- zine.

Seattle, Washington December S.1926

To the Editor:
 Last week wrote you concern ing friend here in Seattle who has been telling me about conditions In the east. He has left my apart n ent, having read to me the most c ,ncerning the situation in the earthquake zone in Armenia.
 It seems that On October 23rd, the American Relief workers had put thier nine thousand orphan children to bed when severe earth quake centered in the orphan dis trict. Amid falling chimneys and walls the American doctors and nurses rushed back into the build ings and brought all of their ter on this earthquake said that to the coolness and courage of these Americans was due the fact that not one of the nine thousand children was killed.
 After the children recovered from their first excitement, they thought it quite a picnic to sleep in the alfalfa fields all night, as the we ether fortunately was not very cold and the children are hardened to enduring suffering which our child ren could not stand.
 Six days later, the children wakened in a blizzard. Many of them forgot their own sufferings in the fact that thousands of other children from the villages were, if possible, in a worse plight than they were, and they cheerfuily df- vided their blankets with these other children.
 Fortunately the Near Fast Re- lief hospital was not destroyed, al- collapsed. Six hundred patients i'll the American hospital were rush. ei out into the wheat fields. Hos pital tents were erected, and one physician operated continuously for 48 hours, when he stopped for eight hours of exhausted sleep. He was awakened from this to reorganize his first-aid stations in twenty villages which had been wrecked by the shocks. Twenty-eight earth quake babies were born in the tent hospital.
 The shocks continued for fif-

BIGGEST REAL ESIAIt DEAL

While General Rousseau and his American troops attended the cere- monies on the parapet facing Prince Maksoutoff's castle at Sitka, anoth- IT American officer caused the stars and stripes to be raised at Chilkat in place of the Hudson Bay flag.
 The Lincoln" Captain Howard, was obliged to seek shelter at Chil- kat on the evning of October 16, 1867, according to Rev. A. P. Kashervaroff in the January Alas ka Magazine.
 The next morning it was blowing SC hard that he did not send boats ashore, but about noon the wind died dwn and at 1:3O five large war canoes came alongside, one fly ing the Hudson Bay Company's fiag and piloted by Jack, an inter preter, who was dressed in the full uniform of an English officer.
 Soon afterwards the head chief arrived, accompanied by his wife, the daughter of the great chief of the StikineS, and Cant. Howard re- ceiyed the party on board. The Captain reports that the chief was very quarrelsome Indian who was much incensed when whiskey was not offered. ''If you have no pre- sents, coats, trousers and shirts, why come?" he demanded, Talk without whiskey is nothing sup pose plenty of whiskey, then talk good"
 Pacifed with a red-lined over coat and gifts of molasses, tobac- co and bisuit, the chief departed in charge of an American flag and staff, which promptly replaced the Hudson Bay Company's banner in the prov of his canoe, and Capt. Howard reported, "The flag was hoisted at Chilkat within a few
 
 minutes of the time 1t was hoisted at New Arkangl, as it was after wards ascertained.
 Father Kashervaroff, who is cu- 1ator of the Territorial Museum, also confirms the story of the tangl- ed Russian flag dropped from the staff to flutter down on the bayon- cts of the Russian soldiers. His story is illustrated with rare pho- tographs of tn America nand Rus sian officials involved and views of the old Baranoff Castle.
