RETIREMENT IN ALASKAJUNEAU
 BE PERMANENT
Bradley Arrives on Annual Trip-Comments on Re-
 cent Operating Results

The improved showing in op- Gold Mining Company is conf dently expected to be permanent for many years to come, declared P. R. Bradley, consulting en- gineer, who arrived today on his annual trip to go over the prop erty and visit other mining prop critics owned by allied interests in the north. He will remain here until about July l, leaving then for Mayo.
 While the local company is gratified with the operating re- suits so far this year, they were not unforeseen.
 "In mining known ore bodies, engineers fix fairly definitely the average value for the entire de- posit. Perhaps in no single year do the operations show acord- ing to this average, some being above and some below it. That is what has happened at the All aska Juneau. For several years we have been below the average Now the scale is reversed and we are getting better than the aver age, compensating for the under normal years experience, MT. Bradley said.
 The most striking recent devel- opments in the northern mining industry, MT. Bradley said, have taken place in the Mayo district That area never looked better than at present." he declared.
 Recently the Treadwell Yukon Company, operating at Wernecke, optioned the properties of c. K. Settlemier and associates, and two other groups are also held under option. Work will be done on these this season. Livingston Wernecke, general superintendent at Wernecke, who is now in the States will come north shortly.
 MT. Bradley left San Francisco about a month ago. Since then he has been in Eastern Canada inspecting operating properties and also made a trip to Idaho. He left Mrs. Bradley and their two daughters at Seattle. The latter will spend the summer on Orca Island in Puget Sound.

Zellerbach Man Visits Im- portant Areas-Is Fav-

K. 0. Posse, representative or the zellerbach Paper Company and one of the heads of the South eastern Alaska timber survey now being carried on, has returned to Juneau on the gasboat Valkyrie after a one week tour of western Admiralty Island and the Icy Straits district, touching on both Chichagof and Baranof Islands.
 Hundreds of miles were cover. ed by the party on the boat. which visited majority of the bays and inlets on the west coast of Admiralty Island and spent two days in Icy Straits while MT Posse and Don Meldrum made an inspection of the finest timber areas in this part of the Terri. tory.
 All the timber areas visited on the trip are close to tidewater MT. Posse said, because of the numerous indentations in the land. This is an important item in his opinion for it means the trees can be taken to the shore with little trouble, thus Ike cpinp down the cost of taking the lum Der out.

 There will undoubtedly be nc decisions made as to the loca. tion of any pulp plants the Eel. lerbach interests may build in Southeastern Alaska, MT. Posse declared. The survey now being made in this area will be com. pleted late this summer, when the party will go to Ketchikan to con tinue work begun there some time ago. It will take until next summer before the cruising is completed, he added.

'FPeace-Time" Soldiers.

Communists do not need to be reminded that
peace is not one of the blessings of capitalist
society. War, which the liberals and the
pacifists seem to consider as a temporary and
unnatural occurrence, the Communist under
stands is not only inevitable under capitalism
but is actually incessant. Should he be
tempted to forget this fundamental lesson so
frequently impressed upon him with the en-
phasis of the policeman's billy, the Jail SEN
tence, the gangster squad, a gentle reminder
from any one or all of these will soon refresh
his memory
The Communist is "peace-time" soldier on
duty in battle fields in every section Of the
land Yet it must be admitted, strange as it
may seem, that in the case of a number of
Struggles nearest to us less energy and atten-
ton has been expended than in the more spec
tacular battles at a distance.
One of these is The DAILY WORKER.
We should Immediately explain that the
criticism is not made in reference to the re-
Spouse to appeals for financial support of our
paper. Such responses have frequently ex-
ceeded the expectations of everyone. The point
is made in connection with the agitation to
spread the influence and increase the readers
of The DAILY WORKER.
Considerable more can be accomplished here
than is now even being attempted. The DAILY
WORKER in appearance and in the range of
news it attempts to cover has become metro
politan paper. No one more than the members
of its editorial staff are conscious of its weak
nesses and its shortcomings. AS rapidly as the
financial and other limitations permit these
vii be fought against and overcome.
But the larger problem of extending the in
fluence of our paper remains still to be solved
L
problem. No hope of its successful solution,
however, is possible without the cooperation
of the members and sympa thizers of our Party
An earnest appeal is made here for the de-
velopment of sort of DAILY WORKER con-
seriousness, and a response to the demands
which will be made upon the Comrades in the
course of the drive.
This is one of the very important tasks of
the "peace-time" soldiers.

Rich Mans Perjury, Monsieur

counselor of the United States embassy at

Teapot Dome case. 1t appears, according to
charges, that the gentleman committed perjury
in swearing out his income tax report after the
big steal Of course Mr.. Blackmer is not a
common perjurer-Oh, mercy no!
The American embassy is justified in con-
sidering the extenuating circumstance that Mr..
Blackmer could not report his full income with
out revealing the theft of some millions of
dollars His Withholding of information from
the income-tax office was due to the unfor-
tunate predicament he found himself in in
having some hundreds of thousands of dollars
of stolen money the source of which he could
not reveal and not to any intentional dis

plicable to millionaires

now is to secure a thousand petit

within the next ten days. The So

as follows: Nine workers, two shoe
makers, one tailor and one sign
painter, the latter four being self
employed. Of those only one was
Communist, but since they joined
up as electors three of them joined
the party. Three more have prom
ised to join next week" 1t looks
as if the south is thawing out bit.
Slogan: For the organization of
the unorganized! This shall be the
answer of the Workers (Communist)
Party to the latest empty threat of
the executive council of the A. F.
of L. to drive them out of the trade
union movement. That there are
any Communists left in the trade
unions is not the fault of the bu-
reaucrats. The Communists simply
cannot be driven out. They may ex-
pei one here and there, but there
are always others to carry on the
work, and in the expelling process
the Communists succeed in getting
across their propaganda.
But the Communists are not con-
tent with fighting inside the exist
ing trade unions, important though
that is. They are insisting that the
millions of unorganized workers
must be organized into industrial
unions under a militant progressive
leadership. So one Of the main slo-
gans of the Workers (Communist)
