NEEDLESS AGITATION
 SAYS HENRY LUCAS
 EXTERM|NATE BEAR

Big game brings apprpNimk tely $100,000 to Alaska in a season, and any sheep or cattle that bear or other predatory animals may kill are neg lible quantity, according to Hank Lu- cas, of the Alaska Guides Inc. Agitat ion that aims at the extermination of big game, to protect the livestock in- dustry which may or may not become a flourishing vocation in Alaska is too farfetched to be given serious consid- eration, he says.
 The interview with Mir. Lucas was brought out by the question propound- ed at the meeting of the Seward Cham Der of Commerce Tuesday, where dis cussion was introduced to the effect that bear on Kodiak Island were des- troying livestock, and unHass some thing be done about it, big Outside in- tersts might refuse to invest in Alaska livestock ventures.
 T feel that the matter is not ser ious one, as far as the destruction of livestock is concerned" said MT. Lu- cas. T beleiue that checkup, if such a thing were possible, would show very few losses in either sheep or cat tie through the depreciation of wild animals
 "On the other hand we have an ever increasing army of wealthy men from the States who come to get their reasonable quota of big game. They leave here an average of $2,500 each and under the protection now garan teed by territorial and federal laws and regulations. there need be no appre- hension that the big game of Alaska will be killed off
 There is also a provision of the game laws of the territory that permit any farmer. homesteader or livestock man 10 kill pradetory animals if they encroach on his preserves or threaton to destroy his property. III ny opinion that is all the safe-guad we need and any furor that might bring unreasona- ble regulations would not only do Alaska much harm but would not help the livestock industry in the mildest degree"

Brownsville, Harlem
Workers Active in
Signature Campaign

The work of the members of the
Workers (Communist) Party in
Brownsville in the signature drive
has been such that not only will the
Twenty-third Assembly District be
placed on tht ballot, as originally
planned, but also the Twenty-second
Assembly District. In the Bronx,
due to the splendid signature drive
carried on by the workers there,
leading needle trades workers have
been placed prominently before the
workers as the candidates of the
Workers (Communist) Party.
In Harlem, several Red Sunday
notifications have safely accounted
for Communist candidates in the
Seventeenth, Fig hit enth, and
Twenty-first Assembly Districts as
well as in the Twentieth Congress
sional District. Negro members of
the party in Harlem, as well as
white, obtained hundreds of sigma
lures in Negro Harlem. For the
first time in the political history of
the Party, an intensive signature
drive was carried on in Boro Park,
which, due to the nature and size of
the territory presented many diff
culties.

Tour of Connecticut Rallies Negro Workers Red Election Campaign
Failure to Declare Gin
and Women's Apparel
Costs Priest. S539.58

The Rev. John J. Rongetti, of 400
North Second St., East Newark,
N. j., pastor of St. Anthony's Ro-
man Catholic Church, was yesterday
fined S539.58 at the customs house
for failure to declare quantity of
women's apparel found in his lug
gage when he arrived on the motor
ship Saturnia Monday night, and
because 90 bottles of liquor were
found in one of his trunks.
Of this sum, $115 was penalties
for having the liquor, which included
whiskey, brandy, gin, benedictine
and wines. The righteous priest in
dignantly denied any attempt to
smuggle goods into the country,
maintaining that both the women's
apparel and booze had been given
to him by friends, and that he did
not think they had to be declared
for duties.
Later, at the church, his holiness
said that he had never touched
spirits" in his life, but that he had
intended to use it in his "work as a
priest"

threaten and eajole the Philadelphia
bosses to refrain from signing a
pact with the RED International,
as they termed the Philadelphia
unions affiliations.
Not all the offers of concessions"
to the employers could remove the
spectre of empty factories, which
the workers there presented by their
threatening strike action. The
bosses minds were made up for
them when 100 per cent Of the work
ers answered the union call for a
1-hour strike recently. Another
factor was responsible; the workers
were busily engaged in modifying a
general strike machinery if the en-
ployers were to decide to sever re-
lations with their union and instead
tender it to the dual scab union
which the A. F. of L. had set up
here overnight in the offices of the
Sigman cloak union.
The fact that official recognition
was granted is in itself tremend-
Gus victory, but when it becomes
known that the workers retained the
40 hour week and an additional i'm
portant concession over last years
agreement, the brilliancy of the VIC
tory is easily apparent. The clause
referred to is that instead of equal
division of work during slack sea-
sons only" with interpretations of
slackness in the hands of a boss
agent impartial chairman" the
new agreement provides for division
of work from May to March l, or
over ten months year.
A telegram of congratulation
greetings and warning to fight
for the new national union was re-
ceived here from the New York

the workers enthusiastically cele-
brated their victory last night and

motion to thank the conference Com
mittee.

ENDORSE WORKER
PARTY PROGRAM
Robert Minor to Speak
in Rochester
BY DONALD BURKE.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 90
Rochester. will show a very differ
ent attitude toward Robert Minor,
candidate for United States senator
from New York State on the Work
ers (Communist) Party ticket, when
he speaks here tomorrow at the
Labor Lyceum, $50 st. Paul Street,
than it had the last time he was
here several years ago. This will
be due to the intensive work that
has been done here by the Roches-
ter section of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party.
Rochester workers have not been
satisfied merely to devote them
selves to routine propaganda, but
they have been very active in sew
eral large plants located here.
The Eastman Kodak plant is the
most important point for attack.
Here a shop paper has been dis
tributed for many months. In this
paper letters are printed every
month showing the eagerness with
which the paper is read, and the
great desire for a union. Workers
are coming to understand that the
Communists are the only ones who
really want them to organize.
In every issue of the Kodak
Worker, issued in the name of the
Eastman Kodak Nucleus of the
Workers Party, MONDAY meetings
held each Friday at the Lewistown
gate are announced. Speaking at
one of these meetings on the sub
ject of the election campaign of the
Workers (Communist) Party, was
very impressed by the behavior of
the audience.
They gathered many minutes be-
fore the meeting was opened some
approaching very directly to the
scene of the platform, others drift
ing up casually as tho they had no
particular interest in what was
about to happen.
But before the meeting opened,
an audience of about two hundred
had assembled, and more were COM
ing. By the end of the meeting,
timed to allow them to return to
work without missing the end of
our remarks, over five hundred had
gathered.
Minors audience will be repre-
sentative of George Eastman's
slaves as well as those of the North
east Electric, Bausch and Lomb, and
many other large plants. And
among these workers the Rochester
section will continue its agitation.

Three MEETINGS
ATTRACT MASSES

Expect Great Response
to Red Drive

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept 90
The Workers (Communist) Party
presidential election campaign is
proceeding at full speed in the state
Of Connecticut. Through the in
strumentality of Charles Mitchell,
district organizer, and a well-organ-
lied campaign committee, all the
workers in the various towns have
been modified TO carry on the work.
As a result the Party hopes to be
placed on the ballot within few
days. This success has added much
impetus to the spirit of the work
ers, who are leaving no stone I'M
turned to see that the Communist
program reaches the broad masses
Of workers in this industrial state.
Open-air Meetings.
One Of the principal forms of ac-
tivity conducted by the campaign
committee is holding of open-air
meetings in the most thickly popu-
lated centers of cities. These meet
ings have met with much success,
and are bringing the Party excel
lent contacts. The workers who are
unorganized and terribly exploited
ere realizing their true condition
more and more and are rallylng to
the Party's leadership. This Is
especially so among the Negro
workers, who are in the most desti-
tute condition. These workers are
engaged in the basic industries Of
the state, where they are given the
hardest tasks for the lowest wages.
Their living standards are, there
fore, very low; many families are
reduced almost to starvation.
Padmore Makes Appeal
There is healthy spirit Of revolt
among the Negroes against the
other parties--republicans, demo-
Gratis and socialists. George Pad
more has been touring the state, ad-
dressing large audiences Of Negro
workers who enjoy his message and
ostOW GuSlL app SSldIlOA ny eNPISSS-
ing their willingness to support the
Party in the coming election.
Padmore, after much difficulty,
succeeded in obtaining a permit
from the mayor of Hartford, a
dyed-in-the-wool republican, to ad-
dress the colored people Of that
town. Meetings were held for three
nights in the Negro section and
were we'll attended. 1t was the first
stime that the workers heard 4 mill
stant tell his message of struggle for
their full freedom from the yoke of
wage slavery. Night after night
the corners were packed for hours
by both white and Negro workers,
who applauded the speaker as he
sexposed the role of the capitalist
parties and the labor takers.

Imperialist Joint Action.
The pact provides, first, for a

provides for common policy in the
Balkans in order to weaken the Ital-

on naval ornaments which is calcu-
lated to provide the most efficient
fleets for both powers.
War Alliance.
The pact further provides for full
cooperation in the case of war, as
was originally reported. There is
to be full cooperation in the devel-
opment of aviation, as is evidenced
in the recent plane maneuvers over
Paris which were attended by lead
ing British military officers. An
agreement on land ornaments Is
also incorporated, which, it is be.
