ny A Worker correspondent

NEW YORK CITY, January S.
After the New York district council
had refused to seat Morris Rosen as
delegate to the district council, for the
second time, because he was a candi-
date for general president on a pro-
gresslve program against Hutchinson,
Local Union 376, In communication
to the labor takers informed them that
the time has passed when the local
could be dictated to, as to who should
represent them. The members will
elect only their most militant fighters
for their welfare, as representatives.
The local then called their atten-
ton to Local 2717, where three differ
ent delegates were elected, and were
not seated because they opposed the
reactionaries. Later a non-elected
delegate, who is a staunch supporter
of these takers, was seated by the
machine.
Elect Rosen Anyhow.
Then. to hurl their defiance in the
teeth of these takers, Local S76 elect
ed Morris Rosen as business agent at
a special meeting held on December
II. The membership discussed the
issues freely and pointed out that
Rosen fought for election of district
council officials every year by refer
endum vote, a fve-day week and S12
per day wage, job control, for world
trade union unity, labor party, ANAL
gamation of the building trades, and
other progressive measures.
In reply to the arguments that the
local ought to elect someone else be-
cause Rosen would not be seated, the
another is to admit defeat by the re-
dictionaries and give up the fight for
the progressive program. One mem
Der said they would not seat anybody
unless they were certain that he could
be controlled, and that he would not
fight for the membership. 49,
Complete Victory in Showdown Fight,
Rosen took the floor before the bal
lots were distributed and said that he
did not expect to be seated as a bust
ness agent. because he will not com
promise one bit from the progressive
carpenters program, that it may be a
struggle for years before the member
ship will force the district council te
seat progressive delegates and busi-
ness agents. sha
Attic he was the only candidate
nominated, he asked all the members
TO express their opinions by voting or
leaving their ballots blank After the
votes were tailed Rosen received 254
votes and only three ballots were
blank. With such a fighting spirit a
few locals could easily clean the
Hutcheson machine out of New York.
AS business agent, Rosen becomes
a delegate to the New York building
trades council. This is the first real
left wing fighter elected to that king
dom Of reaction and graft and it is to
be expected that not only the carpen-
ters' council, but also all the corrupt
and reactionary officialdom of the en-
tire building trades will organize to
exclude him.

j. " FRANKLIN ESTATE.

Coming in a recent mail to Jack Mutchler was a letter from Carrie Preece, of Anchorage, administratrix of the estate of J. w. Franklin, en- closing $142.92, the same being re- fund in payment of moneys advanced to MT. Franklin, through petition cir culated by MT. Mutchler.
 Receipt of the refund was acknowl- edged by Mr. Mutchler as follows:
 Received from Carrie A. Preece, administrative of the estate of J. w. Franklin, the sum of S142e2, and being in payment of money advanced to said J. W. Franklin by signers on attached list, to-wit, the sum of $315.50, at the rate of S.453 an the dollar, and to be distributed by me to said signers at such rate.
 ''Dated at Tokotna, Alaska, this 9th day of January, 1926"
 Owing to the fact that many of the signers have departed from here, Mir Mutchler states that 1t would be no small task to return the various re funds to original hands. For this req son, and still in view of the fact that the money may be needed for sim liar purpose at almost any time, he has decided that perhaps the best way out of the matter is to place the money in escrow until such time arises. The money, accordingly, has been placed in the N. C. Go. vault, where it will remain until occasion suggests proper use. However, Mr. Mutchler says, anyone dissenting from this view may obtain his pro rata back if he so desires.

To be attacked by four grizzly bears, to come off victorious, and to secure photographs of the game after the battle, is an experience few peo- ple have had or would wish to have, but uch was the experience of Ed An ,derson, hand logger and trapper, re gently, at Khutze Inlet. According to the story Anderson was out with the object of locating new trap line at the head of Khutze Inlet, and was crossing a bare spot on the side of the mountain when h. was suddenly charged by four grizzlies. He made "a dash for a high boulder and man. aged to get to the top of it before the bears reached him. The first made an ,effort to scale the boulder. but An .derson had the advantage of location sand pumped two bullet into him be- fore he rolled over. The second bear ithen charged up the rock. and was .also killed. The other two were smaller and were dispatched without difficulty

This IS the third time the question

quickly reported a verdict Of guilty
and Wan was sentenced to be hanged.
A new trial was granted by the United

perpetrator Of the crime. He urged
that the evidence submitted by the

cluded the argument for the Govern
ment. He drove homo the points Of

by Horning and asserted that there

HAUGEN ACCEPTS
S2OQ,OD0,0)D CUT
Compromise on Farm Bill Also
Would Levy Equalization
Fee at Once.
b. the Associated Press.

b. tne Associated Press.
Important changes in the Haueen
farm-relief bill, including reduction OF
the price stabilization appropriation
from 1876, 100000 to SITE, 900 900, were
agreed upon today by supporters of
the measure.
One of the amendments decided
upon was immediate imposition Of an
equalization fee on sales of basic crops
to furnish funds for handling the
surplus problem. AS drawn, the bill
would have deferred this fee for two
years.
Offered as Compromise.
In announcing the changes. Chair
man Haugen Of the agriculture com.
mittee. author Of the bill. explained
that he would offer the amendments
tomorrow in an effort to reach q com
promise with opponents Of the legis.
lation.
One Of the principal attacks on the
bill has been based on the large ap-
preparation and postponement Of the
equalization fee. BY levying the fee
at once, Mr.. Haugen said, there win
be no ground for charges Of subsidy.
because the funds advanced will he
secured by this assessment on the pro.
ducers.
The decision to amend the bill was
reached after conferences Of MANY
House members and delegates from
Middle Western farm organizations.
Acceptable to Corn Belt.
Mr.. Haugen said the bill in its
amended form would be acceptable to
the corn.belt delegation.
Another amendment to be offered
by Chairman Haugen will provide
that the maximum amount to be
charged cotton growers to repay loans
would be 50 a bale. There would be
no equalization fee on cotton. but
members of cooperative associations
would be assessed to secure funds ad-
vanced by the proposed Federal Farm
Board.
