MERCHANTS AND MERCHANDISE

--t------
 The Juneau Empire waxed wroth recently because prohibition agents ''raided prominent merchants of Jul rcau" and confscated certain bever- ages used for intoxicating purposes. The Empire holds that the goods net the requirements of the law, an! dispensed hereunder by law prescribed; and that the raids b.r tle officers was unnecessary, unwar ranted. ungentlemanly and interfe~- ed with traffic otherwise permitted
 Did any non-advertiser of the Elm pire go down the street peddlns lemon extract, vanilla and other ex- tracts high in alcoholic percentage, or other beverage with plenty of vol atile content he would be arrested and receive mighty little support from that organ which shouts If constitutional liberty
 Was ordered to Morninggside last week from Wrangell one Oscar Ka- sheets, Indian who purchased con siderable of the extracts, hair tonica ard various other bug juices. 9th CTS will follow and still others will become blind or die by reason of such purchase and use of so-called legal commodities
 When extracts ct cetera go out of mercantile tablishments by the dozen or more, into the hands of pcrscns not eligible to purchase i'll wholesale quantities, then it is be- irg purchased for no other purpose than for immediatae intoxicating purposes.
 The buyer then is selling for no ie- gitimate purpose. To condemn the the prohibition agents for stopping this nefarious business is rather out Of order fer any law abiding person or publication. The officers should be commended, not damned.

WILL, FIT FISHERIES SYSTEM

Dr. John Mcdowell, secretary of tie Presbyterian Board of National Missions gave Labor Day message which might we'll be read and ap piled to the seiners' situation in Alaska in view of the fact that it is the only industry which employs or con employ the major portion of the population total:
 "The most significant feature of tHe industrial world today is the passionate cry for social justice Pity and charity are scorned by the frank and file. They insist tha. Iequity, not charity, is the only ado quate basis for industrial relation. ships.
 Luxury can justiflably come into
 existence only when honest penury has vanished.
 Let us, therefor, affirm again an tLis Labor Day that any social and il dustrial system which grinds up men and women and children to ra',e cheap goods, is an un-christian system; that no social and industrial syst em can be christian until it is s3 or ganized that every honest and will 1 ira worker can find work, and work so remunerative that he cannot only r aintain his own working powers in health and efficiency, but shall al so he able to give his wife and chil- dren a decent, healthy, joyous and honorable life; in other words, 'the abundant life which Christ came tj

"DEvELoPs LATE FIsP

No canneryman in his senses de- nles that the June and July runs of su:.lon are runs of the past. Those runs of salmon used to insure the Alaska Packers at Wrangell a pack of so to S5 thousand cases before t1a end of August. Since the cycle has been destroyed the Packers have discontinued operations there; the Northwestern Fisheries have closed down their plant at Santa Ana and those canneries going to rack and ruin.
 The present run which is very slotty is the salmon conserved by the closed season. The conserved seed of previous years has develop ed a run that now appears after the seasonal closing date. The fact is incontrovertible in view of the con dicon of spawning areas and imme- d1ate vicinity.
 Late fish begets late fish, Black feed begets black feed and cannot reproduce any but their own kind.

definitely from it. Even before the
XIV congress was opened, about 702
people had left the Opposition. Dur
ing the congress another $40 people
left it.
This desertion of the Opposition in
creased still more after the congress.
G,550 people left it,
Thus, 3,068 people have already dis
ISOLATED themselves from the Trotsky-

the ranks of the Party. But the de-

URGES STRIKE IN
BOMBAY; Jailed
Roy Asks Struggle for
Release of Spratt
BY N. ROY.

PARIS, (By Mall Philip Spratt
who was recently acquitted in India
of a charge Of sedition, has again
been arrested, this time for Com
munist propaganda"
He was arrested while distributing
leaflets to the Bombay textile work
ers who are on strike for the thirc
cine in two years against wage cuts
This last Offence" is thus as much
Communistic" as the former one was
"seditious."
Spratt's 'crime" is that he put into
practice the promises made to the
Indian workers by the British Labor
Movement.
Repeatedly Prosecuted.
Even now, two officials of the
British T. U. C. Purcell and Halls
WORTH are touring India to deliver
the message of solidarity. But Spratt
is an ordinary member of the British
Labor Movement, and is repeatedly
prosecuted for his efforts to act ac-
cording to the decisions of the British
Labor Movement
The Bombay strike has a direct
bearing on the wage attack in Lanca-
shire, and Spratt's action in helping
the strikers was in defence of the
Lancashire operatives as well as of
those in Bombay.
This being so, will the British
Movement demand the release of
Spratt, and also freedom for any
Britisher to give assistance to In
dian Labor?
Failure to do this would give the
Indian workers one more reason to
doubt British labor leaders.

he and his men disappeared into the

A German employee of the planta-
ton gave Gen SANDING his dinner
and was warmly thanked by the re-
evolutionary leader, who told him that
British property was safe, so far as
he was concerned
Before leaving the plantation San
dino asked for writing materials and
addressed an ultimatum to the Mica
raguan officials at Matagalpa. A copy
has been sent to Washington by the
u. S. marines.
SANDING in his ultimatum chal-
lenged the marines to meet him in
the surrounding hills when, he said,
''the blood would flow" The nation
alist leader denounced air attacks
against his forces at Nueya Segovia
as "cowardly."
SANDING is said to have broken up
his force into small bands once more
in an effort to elude the marines and
native constabulary pursuing him.
The air attack by marine aviators at
Nueva Segovia in January forced
SANDING to split up his band into
small groups and travel at night to
avoid detection. 1T was these move
nents that brought about a lull in
the fighting between the Americans
and the revolutionists.

Georgia Workers Suffer
Unemployment Wave

WEST POINT, Ca, Feb. 9.-There
is widespread unemployment in
Georgia. There is scarcely an indus
trial district in the whole state where
there is not large surplus of work
ers. This is the admission even of
manufacturing interests here, the
majority of whom are making textiles.
Unemployment in the southern tex
tile mills is declared by experts to
be a more serious sign of general
crisis than northern unemployment
because of the nearness of southern
mills to the raw material and to a
cheaper labor supply.
