Box Makers Approve
Collective Bargains;
Union Campaign Grows

Opinion prevailed at conference
between members of the Paper Box
Makers Union and group of manu-
facturers yesterday that an associa-
ton of manufacturers dealing with
the union would be advantageous to
both sides. Union representatives
brought out that conditions in the in
dustry were chaotic, with wages re-
duced and hours increased.
Of several manufacturers associa-
tions that existed during the recent
strike, none is left. Competition is
keen and boxes are being sold at less
than cost, spokesman said.
The Paper Box Makers Union, with
headquarters at GAO Broadway, to ex-
tend organization. has opened an Of

LADY POLITICIAN
UNDER CHARGES
OF PLAIN CRAFT

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. Is. - The
Tammany fixers around Al. Smith are
busy trying to -entangle the .republ-
cans in graft scandal as a counter
blast to the barrage hurled against
them by the Roosevelt ''red light"
speech at the Syracuse republican
state convention,
For years it has been notorious that
Mrs. Florence E. S, Knapp, an ele-
giant lady and leader of the feminine
forces in the republican party, squan-
dered hundreds of thousands of dol
lars during her extravagant term as
secretary of state 1t is alleged by
the Tammanyites that she burned cen
sus records that would prove that she
wasted the sum Of S1,200,000
Political Mud-Slinging.
This scandal would have been COW
cred up by Tammany, had it not been
for the fact that the present campaign
in New York State is being conduced
with the object of defeating the pres
idential aspirations of Al. Smith. In
the keynote speech young Roosevelt
assailed the corruption and incompe-
tence of the Smith administration,
without considering the effect a mud
singing contest would have upon for
mer republican office-holders.
Investigation" Now On.
Governor Smith, under the author
ity of the Moreland act, has appointed
q young Tammanyite named Randall
!. LeBoeuf, Of Albany to investigate
the charges made against Mrs. Knapp
and the rest of the republican gang.
It will be easy to furnish Tammany
with defensive weapon because Mrs.
Knapp believes in the political spells
system, but confines it to her own rel
atives. Her mother, brother and sis
ter-in-law are alleged to have been
paid some $4,000 simply as orna-
ments in the census bureau.
May Compromise on Graft.
There is a possibility that little will
come of the cases, if the republican
campaign managers can be induced to
lay off the graft and vice charges
against Tammany. If no such deal
can be made the sovereign voters will
have q chance to see the leaders of the
two old parties as they really are dur
ing the course of the mutual exposes.
Most observers here state that one
can believe both of the camps,

DenOunce Fascism.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. IS,
"Mussolini has taken from the
masses of Italy every vestige of
liberty"
This was the declaration made be-
fore the American Federation of
Labor convention here tdoay by its
president, William Green.
Green told the convention "fas-
cism is the kingly theory under an
other name, and we are just as much
opposed to fascism as we are to COM
munism."
"The government by fascism is
reprehensible dictatorship" the Am
crican labor chieftain added. Mus
solini was at one time a socialist, and
think, now Communist"
EDITORS NOTE: Agitation of
the Communists and the left wing, by
arousing the mass sentiment of the
American workers, have compelled
William Green to take formal stand
against fascism. But he retaliates by
trying to confuse fascism with its
opposite, Communism. The Commun-
list Party is the only force that is
organizing the working masses
against fascism in Italy, where the
Communist press, although outlawed
by Mussolini, has an illegal circula-
ton of 500,000.)

COST OF GOVERNING LONG BEACH, CALIF. GIVEN

The Department of Commerce has just announced a summary of the financial statistics of the city cor poration of Lang Beach, Calif., for the fiscal year ending June 30 1926. It should be noted, 1t says, that in order to put the city of Long Beach on a basis comparable with those cities in which schools are a part of the city corporation, the figures here given include SAG per cent of the transactions of the high school district and 85.4 per cent of the transactions of the elementary school district of Long Beach, both for the fiscal year closing June 30. 1926, the percentage in each case being based on the ratio of the as- sessed valuation of the city to that
The Alaska fisherman., 1927-09-15
By E. P. Walker,

Of the U. s. Biological Survey
 Few persons realize that vegeta tion is essential to all forms of ami nal life. The animals or birds live directly or indirectly on the vegetation.
 The burning of timber, brush, grass and tundra lands in Alaska has received little attention be- cause it is not generally realized that while the timber burned may be of little commercial value the damage may nevertheless be ser ious because of it's effect on other resources of the Territory
 Such fires kill, by burning or suf location, practically all the small animals which are food for fur bearers or game as we'll as many fur bearers themselves.
 The devastation is usually com plete and lands are made unpro- ductive for a period of years The length of time such lands are thus made valueless depends wholly on the length of time necessary for ve- getation to become reestablished and for the animal life to gradual ly come in after the vegetation has grown again. If the burned area is small and soil conditions are favor able the land may begin to produce again in few years, but if the area is large and conditions are not fa- vorable for plant life the time may run into many years. Such burned areas are subject to erosion which carries away the soil and further handicaps plant growth and limits the productivity of the land.
 It may thus be seen that the loss es to wild life by fire is serious not only for the year of the fire but for succeeding years. It takes but a small fire to burn an area which will annually produce $500 worth of furs and an equal value of game. Thus an area which would annually

The Importance of Preventing Forest, Brush, Grass and Tundra Fires For The Wel-
 fare Of Alaska Wild Life

are greatly reduced for a longer period.
 As this land was capable of p?o- ducing $1,0OO worth of wild ami mal life per year and has produced only $2,775 during the fifteen years period of recuperation the fire did damage to the extent of $12,225 in addition to the destructon of stock originally on the land. Examination will show that these figures are con- servative for burned-over areas of timber lands.
 In his report Progress of Rein deer Grazing Investigations In Alas ka," United States Department of Agriculture, MT. Lawrence J. Palm CT writes as follows:
 One of the greatest sources of in- jury to range and losses of forage in Alaska is in fires, either delib- erately set or due to carelessness. Tundra fires along the coast are common, and burned-over areas may be frequently found.
 Possibly on account of the inn mensity of the country and the sparse population the injury by fire does not appear very important nor a need of it's suppression important. It has not, perhaps, been called suf- ficiently to peoples attention in th- past, although a Territorial law is in effect providing penalty for the deliberate setting of range fires. What is needed for Alaska is a gen eral fire-prevention program, and in that connection wide, educa- tional propaganda against forest and range fires, particularly in the northern and western sections of the Territory.
 Damage to range by fire involves not only a loss of forage and trees but also of game and fur animals, since the small ground animals as we'll as the cover of vegetation are destroyed by the fire. The dam age to lichen range is particularly

yield $1,OOO is made wholly unpro- serious. It may take a burned-ov- CT lichen area as much as 15 years to come back. In view of the i'm portance of the lchen areas for reindeer men to guard against fires; and because of the damage to game and fur animals and to tree growth, it is the concern of everyone that fires be prevented and fire protec- tion sought.
 The absence of vegetation per mits rapid run-off of rains and rap i'd melting snows so that the stream flow becomes very irregu- lar so that floods and low water often follow one another in close succession. Such conditions are un- favorable to fish in the streams. IL those interested in our fisheries were fully aware of this damage, they would be keenly interested in the prevention of fires.
 Alaska has such a large percent age of lands useless for the DrOduc. tion of any crops other than ful and game and for reindeer grazing, that such lands should be kept well clothed with vegetation and stock ed with all the fur and game ami support.
