SALMON SPAWNING IN THE
 FRASER RIVER EXTINCT

VICTORIA. Aug. 25, (R ---- It has been found that salmon spawn ing in the upper Fraser river. once the greatest breeding waters of the world is now like hunting for a needle in haystack," says an off, cial report of the Provincial Fish cries Department.
 Deputy Commissioner John P. Babcock says that during the last fishing season i've saw and heard of less spawning of sockeyes in the aea of the Fraser basin above Hells Gate Canyon in September than any preceding September in twenty-four years of the experience of the De- partment."
 Babcock added there can be no considerable run of sockeye salmon four years hence from the sockeye which spawned in the upper lakes of the Fraser basin.
 Reports of the halibut situation in northern British Columbia Is likewise pessimistic and there is a necessity for measures to conserve the halibut. .a
 The Fiheries Department stressed the fact that the combined pack of sockeye in the provincial waters, Washington and the Fraser river re- zion totalled 15s,9s7 cases more than the largest pack since 1917. and is . hundred per cent greater than four years ago.

BAKERS union
WINS STRIKE
Local l Forces Silvers
to Settle

The six weeks strike of the Anal
gamated Food Workers, Bakers Lo-
cal 1, against the Silvers' Cafeterias
ended yesterday with victory for
the union and the granting by the
company of the demands of the bak-
ers.
In surrendering to the union which
has been fighting militant battle,
the company agrees to employ only
union help and to meet other union
standards. The strike was called six
weeks ago when the restaurants shut
out members and attempted to oper-
ate open shop.
Union officers yesterday attributed
considerable credit for the victory be-
sides the fighting spirit of the bakers
themselves, to the cloakmakers, fur
riers, printers and other workers OF
the sections in which the struck res
taurants are located for their soli-
darity in supporting the strike, by
withholding patronage from those
places.

NEGROES OBSERVE
HAYWOOD'S DEATH
Memorial Planned Here
For June !

Many Negro workers are planning
to attend the huge memorial meeting
in the Central Opera House, 9th St.
and Third Ave, Friday night, June
L, in honor of William D. Haywood,
Communist and pioneer enemy of Jim
Crow tactics in the labor movement.
When Haywood first started to or
ganize American workers, even many
l. w. w. representatives segregated
Negro workers from the whites in the
South, comrades who were closely as
sociated with Haywood recall.
One such case was the huge lumber
strike in St. Charles, La. big Bill''
came to address the workers and
found they had assembled in two
halls, one right above the other, the
blacks in one and the whites in the
other.
"What's this for? Put 'em together" )"
thundered big Bill"
"But it's never been done in the
South" gasped the local organizers.
"Then it's time it was" SAID Hay
wood, and he did not speak until all
the workers, whom he called "com-
rades," were seated together before
him. From that time on Negro work
ers by the thousands rallied to Hay
woods call.
Haywood's friendship with Negro
workers dated back to his youth when
he shaved in the mines of Nevada,
Utah and Idaho, swinging his pick
side by side with Negro miners. One
of his regrets about being exiled from
the United States was that he could
not help organize the Negro workers
along with the whites.
The memorial meeting is being held
under the auspices Of the New York
district of the Workers (Communist)
Party. Haywood, who died recently
in Moscow, will be buried at the wall
of the Kremlin.
The district committee of the Young
Workers (Communist) League has
decided to call off the League ami
versary mass meeting, June l, in or
der to make is possible for all work
ers to attend the Haywood memorial

TRY GAS BOMB ON
JAILED STRIKERS
Workers in Cells Used
for Police Experiment

KENOSHA, Wis, May 25. - Ken
osha police exhibited a hitherto un-
heard of cruelty when union hosiery
workers, locked up in cells under
charges of shouting at scabs, were
made the targets for police tear
bombs. Helplessly exposed, without
warning and without chance to get
out of range of the poisons, IL union
lists were bombarded with tear gas as
part of a so-called police "experi-
ment." The burning sensations and
acute pain in their eyes, nostrils and
throats persisted for many hours
causing them to shed involuntary
tears even the next day in court.
Police smilingly pronounced the ex-
pccinents as satisfactory.
Pc ,ests by the whole population
are gathering strength, particularly
as the victims were held over night
on charges that were later thrown out
of court, while a strikebreaker arrest
ed by deputy sheriff for firing at
pickets was released by the station
police without booking.
The Kenosha Trades and Labor AS
sembly has vigorously denounced the
use of the police as strikebreaking
agency in behalf of the Allen A
Hosiery Company.
