CHILKOOT SOLDIERS TO BE COACHED IN
 SKIING THIS WINTER
zN%---E-~@zz

As an lnvigorating and thrilling winter sport and also to serve a useful purpose, the soldiers at Chilkoot Barracks are going to take up skiing this winter on an intensive scale and ale determin- ed to master seme of the finer points of the sport.
 F. ". Byerly, who arrived in Juneau on the Alameda, from Pe- ters0urg, told of the plans that are now complete for the undertaking. MT. Byerly is an expert with the skis and when he visited the post in September he interested Major Thornton Rogers with the idea of coaching the men during the pres ent winter months. The men them selves were told of the proposition
 and at once became interested. Most of the enlisted men and sev- eral of the post officers had used the skis each winter but lacked a capable instructor to drill them in their application.
 Nearly to a man, the boys voiced their approval of engaging Mr Byerly as ski instructor and a plan was formed whereby each was to pay a small tuition for the coach ing. After all was decided upon the problem of q suitable practice ground was next solved. The offi- cers of the barracks decided that preparing a skiing course W a 5 every bit as beneficial and called for as much exercise as any calis- thenics or setting-up exercises that are held. When MT. Byerly was at the barracks a short time ago the ground was nearly complete and the men were looking forward with enthusiasm to the coming lessons.
 MT. Byerly will go to Ghilkoot Barracks on the next boat and will start the coaching as soon as there is plenty of snow He pointed out that the conditions for the sport were very good in the vicin- ity and predicted that in a short time the men would be proficient in handling the tricky skis.
 Major Thornton Rogers of Chil- koot Barracks has always been very much interested in the out door sports and has created every possible opportunity fer the men to enjoy them. MT. Byerly in speak ing of the classes said that due to the past experience of the men, they should progress rapidly and in short time would be ski-jump- ing and making long, cross-coun- try trips.
 U. s. Army posts around the Great Lakes are scenes each winter of the soldiers drilling and ma neuvering on skis. During the period of snows, skiing is a part of the daily drill and the men are very adept in the handling of the slippery hickories" as the skis are called. The men at Chil- koot Barracks are determined not to be outdone by their fellows in the south, so have entered the spirit of the coming program with a will.

SERBIAN-FRENCH
PACT REVEALED
Talk Of Italian War in
1880; to Cross Germany

VIENNA, Feb. alleged "reyela-
tions" of Jugo- Slav secret treaty
with France purports to disclose the
efforts of the French financiers to
GUST their Italian rivals in the
Balkans.
The treaty, according to the "reye-
lations,P is based upon nine points.
France is to send a naval mission to
Jugo-Slavia while Jugo-Slavia is to
send France an increasing number of
naval officers for special instruction,
Francs is to organize a Jugo-Slav
fleet composed mainly of submarines
and light craft. Other measures call
for French reorganization of the ar
senal at Cattaro on the Adriatic, and
of the seaplane service, fertilization
of the Adriatic coast and the closest
contact between the staffs of the
French and Italian navies. In event
| of war, the Jugo-Slav navy is to take
its orders from the commander-ip-
chief of the French fleet. In return
for these favors, Jugo-Slavia is to
buy her naval materials and supplies
from French armament concerns.
The Italian fascists are reported to
be making capital out of the "reyela.
I tons" in furthering their war propa-
ganda against Jugo-Slayia and theil
rivalry with France.

By THOMAS BELL.

LONDON (By Mai) Without any
doubt the labor movement in Great
Britain is passing through severe
crisis. This crisis is more than de-
feet in organization. Organizational
weaknesses are there, but the crrlx of
the crisis is political. We may bewail
the imperfections in organizational
machinery.
We cannot, nor must not, ignore
the failure to organize 100 per cent
membership in our most important
unions. We cannot ignore sectional
ism, for example, amongst the miners,
where each district and county is
law unto itself. Closer amalgama-
ton and one union for engineering
and metal workers is as, urgent as
one union for the miners. We want
more power vested in the General
Council as a means of coordinating
the whole industrial struggle of the
working class, not forgetting, of
course, a change in leadership.
Leaders" Sidetrack Issue.
But these things given, still the
urgent problem is the question of poll
tical policy. Organizational weak
nesses are invariably bound up with
political policy. The way out of the
present crisis is to be. found more in
an examination of the direction in
political policy.
Those leaders who rail at politics in
the unions, and try to revive the 18th
century Lib-Lab policy of Neutrality
either ignore the character of the
modern labor struggle, or, and this is
nearer the mark, are deliberately side
tracking the workers. movement in
the interests of the capitalists, with
whom they are collaborating. This
type, of which the Spencer-Wilson
crew are examples, are manifesto
ton of the present crisis rather than
an adequate cause. The greater dam
ger comes from the type of leader
now to be found at the head of the
great trade unions; the bureaucrats
who still have the confidence Of large
numbers of workers. These elements
form the most important factor in the
present crisis and the most serious
menace to the advance of socialism.

SOCIALIST TRADE
UNION CONGRESS-
ENDS IN FIAsC0
Germans and sBritish
Squabble for Power

BERLIN, Jan. 81. (By MALL. The
Berlin session of the international
Federation of Trades Unions has end
ed in a complete fiasco. The session
reflected faithfully the internal weak
nesses and national limitations of the
Amsterdam International. The urg-
ent questions of the class struggle
were not even mentioned. At the con-
clusion of the sessions only a week
declaration was adopted concerning
the eight hour day, but this was more
to cover the hollowness of the session
than with any serious intent.
The three questions which faced the
session, i. e., the question of the future
seat of the headquarters of the |. F..
T. u, the election of the chairman and
the election of the secretary, were
none of them settled. 1t was decided
to postpone a decision in all cases.
Amsterdam will therefore remain the
headquarters of the /. F. t. u, and
Sassenbach will remain the provision
al secretary of the International.
There is no chairman at all.
The official report says towards the
end: SIT can be taken as a certainty
that the executive will come to pos
tive decision in it's next issue" A
similar promise was however, made at
the Paris conference. Despite this the
Berlin session did not dare to come to
decision by majority vote, because
this would have led to the disruption
of the l. F. T. U. and the detection of
one or the other of the national
groups.
The Germans wanted to have the
headquarters in Germany under all
circumstances, they also wanted a
German secretary and if possible a
German chairman, but in any case
they did not want the candidate pro-
posed by the British section, i. e.
Purcell. The British group demanded
that Brussels be made the headquar-
tiers, opposed the idea of a German
secretary and insisted on their own
candidate for chairman. The whole
session was typical of the present
state of the Amsterdam International
