Fighting the Trade Union Bill

chiefly from collecting small sub
scriptions among the workers. The
Bill perpetuates and accentuates the
advantages of the capitalist parties,
which get big sums of money by sell
ing through its agents in the Govern
ment, titles md honors as well as by
secret subsidies from the wealthy.
The resolution thon goes on to say:
eve warn tn government that the
consequence. Of placing in the hands
of the Law Courts such vast powers
of repression and obstruction pro-
posed in the bill will be to
bring the law into contempt. To en-
force against the Trade Unions the
provisions of the bill must inevitably
lead to widespread and concerted re-
sistance on the part of the organized
millions Of trade unionists, and will

flicts.
Minority Movement Fights.
Gossip, member of the Executive
Committee of the Amalgamated Fur
nishing Trades Society and repre-
sentative of the Minority Movement,
brought the following amendment:
THAT this conference asks the parlia-
mentary Labor Party to obstruct the
whole business of government in the
House of Commons, and to do every
thing possible to force the Baldwin
Government to resign, and also in
structs the General Council of the
T. U. C. to make all possible prepara-
tions to use the industrial weapon by
general strike, if necessary, in or
der to defeat the Government"
The Conference turned down. the
amendment and adopted the resolu-
ton by an overwhelming majority.
Such is short summary of the la
Dor Of the Conference of Executives.
The trade union bureaucrats did not
allow the Left Wing delegates to
take active participation in the CON
ference. Gossip thrice asked the floor,
but was not allowed to speak. The
same thing happened to Cook when
he endeavored to com e forward
against the resolution. The Confer
ence allowed no discussion of the Chi
nese question. It's machinery worked
smoothly enough. The bureaucrats
don't want fight and have no faith
in successful resistance to the Gov
eminent. All their hopes are cen
tered on one thing: when the Labor
Party comes to power, it will repeal
the outrageous act.

Attorney A. Driscoll, in Part /,
Special Term of the Supreme Court,

Our hesitation is not caused by any

"They will take the place OF the old

The breakfast wigs" will be in
various colors to suit the mood, she
explained.
Another noticeable part of this

are called-are attempting to elm
mate the tlappers.
Mrs. Florence Harris is demon
strating a method of bringing back
that schoolgirl complexion" with
out the lavish use OF rouge and tint

getting tired of the "over painted
fapper." and that the modest.
smooth faced and daintily coiffed
young women will be more popular
this year than ever before.
Young women with graceful head
shapes are going to be in style this
season.
Girls will roll or coil their hair
at the napes of their necks," one
of the leaders of the association an
nounced. In this way the grace

The newest wave is the Shadow

the shadow effects it makes over the

Americans are apparently more adj

food fads of one type or another.
The explanation lies, no doubt,
in high-pressure advertising meth

The most vicious of all OF the
food fads. strangely enough. is the
starvation fad. Undoubtedly most
Americans overeat. The obvious
corrective Is to eat just enough
food to satisfy the bodys needs.
Investigators have estimated that

the person of leisure. 2450 calories

Cab
Rewards conscien=;
tious service

Merit alone wins promotion for the men in
YELLOW CAB service. Recognition of con-
scientious effort is prompt and liberal, but the
Stacker soon automatically eliminates himself.
There is not a job in organization beyond
the attainment of the driver Of the YELLOW
CAB you may use today. You can safely place
reliance in him for he is a potential executive
of this company. BY an unmarried record for eff
fciency and courtesy, he keeps himself in line for
higher place.
That is a YELLOW CAB way. We realize
the Importance Of the human equation. lie know
that we must have the right kind Of man power.
for our commodity is the service of an individual,
backed by organization.
Sincerity of purpose cannot be pretended.
Our men reflect the earnest character of the Or
ganlzation they work for. YELLOW CAB wants
to give the citizens of this city the best cab
ice that money and experience can create. 1t is
on this platform we ask your patronage.
YELLOW CAB men collectively and jndi-
viduallN are constantly alert to serve better.
not this fact in part account for the cons

AMERICAN FISH,
 FRIES EXPANDS

The catch of food fish in terri torial waters of the United States has increased from 1,600.000 900 pounds annually in 1880 to 2,300, CO0,O0O in 1926, according to O, E. Sette of the Bureau of Fisheries in an address before the Conserya- ton Conference held at Washing ton.
 Tn those 46 years the fisheries on the Atlantic Coast have de- clined while those of the Pacific have grown steadily, until now the ocean yields seven times the amount of food fish that it did in 1880.
 Dr. w. H. Rich of Seattle re- viewed the Pacific Coast Fisheries; Dr.. Charles H. Gilbert of Stanford University spoke of Salmon Inves- tigations; George A. Rounsfell of Seattle spoke on Herring: and several other doctors spoke on mat ters pertinent to the industry.
 F. w. Wallace, editor of the Fishing Gazette of New York de- clared that the outstanding prob lem confronting the fishing indus try today is that of providing profitable market for all that the fishermen catch.
 "The prosperity of the industry rests upon two things: CD Larger markets and CD utilization of ed ible fish and fish waste"
 At this Conference for the Con- servation of Fisheries were six doc tors speaking on we'll chosen topics and NOT ONE PRACTICAL FISH ERMAN to give a thought to the human side of the fisheries ques- ton.

The regular session of the Town Council was held on Monday even ing January IT with Mayor Lock e.: presiding and Councillnen Ohm CT, Allen, Enge and Gauffin.
 John Mjorud, Town Marshall, re- ported that the work of transport ing lumber for the repair of the cam was completed. He stated that he had surveyed the grounds and that he thought it would would be moro economical to build a con crete dam 150 feet below the pre- sent site. He estimated the cost of a dam 60 feet long, 12 feet high and feet thick at approximately $2,50O He said that atsthis height the water would be brought to the same level as that of the old dam. This proposition was discussed at length and then laid on the table for further investigation.
 J. l.. MacKecknie, Town Electri- clan, reported that the telephone to Blind Slough was repaired.
 The second reading was had of Ordinances Nos. 77 and 78.
 The Mayor reported that certain citizens of the Town had proposed an ordinance compelling dances to close at 12:3O or 1 o'clock. It was the opinion of some that this mat ter could be controlled by the mu scians and those giving dances so that no action was taken.

CARL CARLSON BURNED TO OEfIH Al ktICHfKAN

Carl B. Carlson, prominent Ketchikan halibut fisherman and fish buyer was burned to death re- gently and another man very badly Turned while they were working on Carlson's boat the Virginia.
 Carlson was burned beyond re- eognltion when he upset a pot of burning tar while repairing the seams of his boat.
 Through an interpreter Simon Hanson told his story to a reporter on the Ketchikan Chronicle as fol- lows:
 We were just completing our work in caulking seams when a pot of tar on the stove burst into flames. Carlson put a broom-stick through the handle and rushed up the ladder. I was right behind him. The pot slid back and tipped over when Carlson was halfway up the ladder and the tar spilled over both of us and On the floor Carlson fell down before me. Our clothes were a.! afire. tried to help Carlson but there was nothin I could do. He was like human torch. That's all I can remember About that time some man came down the lad der and led me out. They went back for Carlson-but I guess it was too late.

Prohibition Director Andrews, Wayne B. Wheeler, MT. Birgfeld of Alaska's "prohi" force, nor even former prohibition director Means and his Lordship ex-Marshan George D. Beaumont were never SD successful in making Petersburg as arid as the Sahara Desert as Old Man Winter did this week.
 Late Wednesday night, men, boys and even the ladies were seen rush. ing the growier in buckets, cans, boilers and tubs. Various houses did land office business ineo the wee hours of the morning. Those who waited till morning to get water were without coffee and some did not get their usual home shave. Tho bath houses were deserted, but
 
 one could get shave.
 Tn spite of the inconvenience, the people took the matter in happy go lucky way and made the best of things, going back into the swamps chopping into likely places and bringing back enough to get by with
 The need for adequate fire pro- lection was never so forcefully em- rhasized as this week. If fire once got started and took hold in spite of chemicals, losses would go up in astonishing figures.
 There is not sufficient pressure on the main to keep two inch hose going very many minutes. The cid bucket brigade would be out of luck if fire started while the tide were LOW.
 Some of the other towns have salt water auxiliary fire protection fine.
 We again call attention to fire traps around town without any fire protection. An ounce of pro- lection is worth pound of cure: it is useless to be sorry after calam- l ity has struck us. Being sorry will not pay insurance. The measure calling for $250O for permanent repair of the dan is matter worth giving serious thought. Tn the summer we cam fix up the dam on account of the need of water service to the can
 nery and in the winter we just don think of it. Let's go.

: The bill to extend the grazing homestead act to Alaska has not met with the approval of the Sec retary of the Interior.
 Under this act it would be pos sible for a resident of the Territory to secure patent to GAO acres of grazing land. It was thought that under the word grazing" could be included the fox industry.
 Tn his annual report for this year the Secretary recommended that the grazing desert land act should be repealed by Congress: This of course means that the time is past when title may be obtained to any larger area than 16O acres as provided by law.
