POLISH STATUTE
TAKES RIGHTS
FROMPRISONERS
Politicals Treated as
Criminals

WARSAW, (By Mail)-After the
amnesty promised in Poland had not
been granted and all hopes for the
release of political prisoners had
been disappointed the new prison
statutes went into effect on July
1st.
No Rights.
Political prisoners in Poland have
had until now certain rights and
there was an understood difference.
between the treatment of criminal
prisoners and them. In a certain
number of prisons they were allowed
to wear their own clothes, receive
books and newspapers, allowed to
take longer walks in the prison yard
and were supposed to be treated in q
decent manner. These privileges"
were only granted after ten year
long battle. Hunger strikes were
engaged in in order to procure these
small privileges.
Prosecuted.
According TO the new statute all
prisoners are to be dressed in the
regular prison clothes, the right is
taken away from them to receive
books, they are forbidden to be to-
gether, and they can be forced to dc
any kind of work. The smallest re-
sistance can be suppressed with the
use of weapons,
In numerous mass meetings the
Polish proletaria has protested
against this latest blow of the fas-
cist regime against the 5000 politica
prisoners. 1t is also important tc
note that workers of other lands
have demonstrated their solidarity
with the prisoners of Polish fascism
in protest mass meetings.

THE ETHICS OF SEAFARING MEN

They say all the worlds stage and all men and women merely players, and that in his time plays many parts Ths undoubtedly is true and the man holding the center of the stage today in Seward is Captain Vic Westerlund of the Steamer Alameda, of the A. S. S Co.,, due to his valiant and effective of the pas sengers and the S. Starr tself from might have been tragedy of the sea- his efficient officers and capa be crew likewise are to be appauded for their part of the episode
 Capt. Heine Berger, of the Motorshp Discoverer and his crew, John Rasmussen first mate; Nels Ande sen, seaman; Emile Jacobson, cook, and Robert Stuart engineer deserve the highest praise for their efforts in connection with saving the Starr in the face of adverse conditions. And too, the men on the Olve Kodiak and Oregon Wo deserving of laudation for their hard work during the period of stress.
 It is beyond question of doubt that if the small boats mentioned had delayed not available during this particular period of time the S. S. Starr may have suf fered serious loss and is due to their efforts that the vessel was lowed away from dangerous shoals to point of safety at for the Alameda to take in tow to the Port of Seward
 Capt Albert Barron, master of the s. s. Starr is worthy of the highest praise for landing all passengers safely on shore while weather conditions briefly per- mtted He took chances and stood by with the crew on the vessel until she was lowed safely port Seward
