per cent of my pictures have been

John B. Jackson, aged 37, passed
 away in Juneau from pleurisv which developed into pneumonia. Jackson,
 l halibut fisherman was taken I'll
 several weeks ago during one Of his

 Little hope fer his recovery was ex-
 pected at the time. Mr Jackson came to Juneau in 1914 and since
 that time has made his home here
 He was employed at the Alaska Jun eau Mine for several years, later buying a halibut boat, and at present, owner Of the boat Ina T.
 Frank A.

The General Petroleum Com pany under the supervision of Morris Clark is now down over 1900 feet and it is expected oil will be struck anytime Oil seepageS may be seen for over 20 miles along the beach The drilling has been going along slow according to Aldrich because of l the sandstone which has been struck about 1900 feet underground and the l, eek is So hard little progress can be made It is rumored ;n Yakutat l hat M J.

COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP IN STRIKES

The number of the United Mine Workers Jour
nal carries article purportng to that Communist
leadership in strikes disaster for the strikers Mr.
Lewis editor is, however somewhat unfortunate in his
selection of examples to prove his
Lewis starts out by Boosting that the anthracite strike
ended in victory for the miners We will allow the anthra-
cite coal dggers get hearty laugh out Of this lying boast
and let il go at that
The three failures that Lewis chaks up against the
Communists British miners strike the Passac strike
and the New York cIOakmakers' strike
Let tax ethe British miners strike first That strike
practically when the miners betrayed by the
right wing British labor leaders, of the type
John L. Lewis They suddenly cancelled the general strike
called by the trade unionists to help the miners and these
traitors spent the of their time abusing leaders
the miners federation Lewis showers abuse Cook
he fought He and his tribe have nothing but praise
for the leaders that surrendered.
1t is true that the Passaic strike led by Communists
They organized it, From the inception of the strike the
leaders tried to get the American Federation of Labor in
erested in it but only when the sentiment throughout the
labor movement became Overwhelmingly in favor of the
strikers did the A. F. of L. take action. Matthew VOL
vice president of the A. F. of L. issued several interviews
which he denounced the strikers but not the employers
Due to the mltancy of the Passaic strike leaders the
workers in several mills substantial victories including
the right to organize But for the activity of the COmmun
lists there would be no A F. of L. Unions in the Passaic
textile mills today.
The story of how the coakmakers strike was sabotaged
by the right wing labor leaders makes painful reading
The reacOnaries from the yellow socialists to the bur-
eaucras of the A. F. of L. council joined in unhOly ALI
against the workers. esOrng every trick in their
bag to smash the strike. Failing to inmdae the workers
by the of thugs and police they proceeded split the
union policy which they continuing with demoraizing
effect the organizations
Not only Lewis, through his official organ con-
scOusy sanderng Communists in saying that Communists
never strike anywhere but it the
only outstanding victories years were those won by
the urers of New York and by the Passac strikers Both
under Communist leadership.
