Many workers are under the i'm
preston that Tammany Hall will do
personal favors for them if they are
in good with the Tammany Hall
bosses. l, too, was under that i'm
preston once. | was once a member
Of one of the Tammany clubs in New
York City. I always voted the demo-
cratic ticket. | knew that Tammany
wasn't very honest, but still had
hopes that, if l was in good with
them, would some day receive a per-
sonal favor.
About two years ago l was unem-
ployed. I tried all over to find a
Job, but I was unsuccessful. I de-
cided to apply for a city job. told
one of the captains of my district
about it, and he told me that he would
use his influence in my behalf. After
hearing this promise l filed an appli-
cation for job in the street cleaning
department with the Civil Service
Commission.
1t is already two years since was
examined and l am still on the wait
ing list. The politician who promised
to use his influence in my behalf did
nothing for me. He told me that he
was not able to do anything for me
because there are too many men on
the waiting list for city jobs.
Let my instance be an example to
other workers who may expect per-
sonal favors from Tammany Hall. The
politicians cannot and will not do any
thing for you. They are not in
terested in you at all. They are only
willing to use you as tool for their
own crooked ends.
l am now in favor of Labor Party
and would support it in the corning
election. "A WORKER.

DEVELOPING REINDEER HERDS PASSES EXPERIMENT STAGE
 NOW AN INDUSTRY

SEATTLE, Nov, 14, P)--Leonard Baldwin. New York financier repre- senting Eastern capital in develop ing the Lomen reindeer herds on Seward Peninsula, said Alaska reindeer production will be increas- ed 100 percent next year. Baldwin declared the last decade has witnessed the evolution oi the industry from an experiment. to big business assuming nation wide pro- portions with Seattle as the distri- button center and base Of surpEes $.
 HE POINTED OUT
 his company spends $25O,000 yearly iu Seattle directly in addition to a million dollar Alaska payroll which finds it's way here. He said these figures face an increase next year when they will produce 3O.0O0 head as compared to 15,O00 this year
 He said the industry has passed thru it's first stage of development and is a problem no longer in find- ing 2 market but is 9 question of production declaring killing 30,0DO head of reindeer and preparata- tions for shipment inside the Arctic Circle is by no means simple"
 HE OBSERVED
 the demand for reindeer increased raosc7aenal1y this Hear and has be- come recognized in leading cafes and hotels as 9 staple article of diet adding There's no danger of creat- ing @ demand greater than the sup ply We have 180OO0 reindeer thlS year and 65.000 more will be born next year. We will be able to kill s0,O00 without depicting the herd bit.
 The possibilities Of expansion IS unlimited and government experts have estimated there is ample pas turage in Alaska for three to four million reindeer and the industry should eventually surpass the min eEal industry of Alaska ranking second only to fishing"
 Baldwin expects to remain in Seattle a week preparing next years financing.

NEW YORK, Nov, 14, (R)-Criti- ciSms of Capt. Carey, master of the IS. S. Vestris were voiced by some Of the. 125 survivors of the liner who reached port on the S. s. American Shipper.
 The rescued passengers and members of the crew alike are se- were in their references to the Cap tain's delay in sending out an s O $ Monday morning and in ordering life boats out. Not life would have been lost the passengers said had the boats been safe and pro Iperly equipped or had they been launched before the awkward list ling angle which she took and made every descent into a fife craft la trip of terror and confusion. THE EXPERIENCE
 they have been thru is written on the pale and drawn faces of the survivors; several received medical attention. Some said the Gulf Stream was responsible for saving many of their lives for the water winch drenched their clothing was warm
 Capt Frederick Soren3on, a pas senger on the Vestris and who holds a masters license, is particu- larly bitter in bis eriticjgsn of what he called Criminal neglect" which he said marked the disaster.
 He said T know about ships and ! the reason the vessel 'foundered is criminal neglect. The Captain did everything wrong. He should have had ships standing by us long be- fore he did Not a passenger should have been sent overheard before other vessels were standing by"

A negro seaman in her own boat, she said, refused to go to the aid cf those struggling in the water after their craft was lost.

ANOTHER CARPET BAG APPOINT.
 MENT

The following taken from the Alaska Weekly seem quite apprO- priate in view of pledge of the pro gressive Republican ticket:
 Edgar Adams has been appoint ed to the judgeship made vacant by the death of Judge Reed We have nothing to say as to the judicial al illty of MT. Adams, in fact know nothing about it. As nearly as we can check his record, his lifetime since he reached the age of majority has been spent in public office of one sort or another, as a representative n the legislatureof Michigan, as pri- vate secretary to Senator Stanfelo of Oregon-in some minor capacitv on the Shipping Board-always in 8 public office. We understand that his appointment wa sdue to the re- commendation of MT. Clark, secre- ,ary to President Coolidge, and was made without the endorsement or consultation with the Delegate iron, Alaska. He may be good judicial timber brilliant jurist who simply has not been given the op- portunity to let his geniusshine forth. We hope so.
 What we find hard to understand is the attitude of treating the Terri tory of Alaska as a dependent princi, pality of a sovereign nation-a pro- Der home for political remittance men. If the Territory is ever to be allowed to work out her own saliva tiOn 1t must be her own people who do it. Among the attorneys of Alas ka we can name a dozen offhand who are fully as capable from a standpoint of legal training and ju- dtcial temperament as any judge now gracing a federal bench. The statement that the reason for the carpetbag appointment was due to lack of material in the Territory is as ridiculous as it is untrue
 We do not wish to be misunder- stood slaunching a personal at tack on the newly appointed judge

The catch, per unit of halibut gear has dropped from 43O pounds to 43 pounds in less than 15 years At the rate of present day intens- :ve fishing, how long will it be be- fore profitable operations are his tory of the past?
 With the 1000 or more trollers from Seattle competing with the trollers, halibutmen and seiners turning to the trolling end of the game, how long will it be before that industry will have no more sal nan to fish for?
 With intensive production of fish neal" commonly called manure in trade parlance, how longs will it be before the herring industry is on par with gold diggings which have been cleaned out?
 With the present production oI salmon by the canners, how many more years will it be, before a sal- mon will be as much of a curiosity in Alaska as it is in New York City?
 When the herring are gone as Is now evident to all it will go, what will the troller do?
 Let the Chronicle, the Empire and their cohorts shout what bfgotry. acial animosities they will, it wi 7: not remedy matters Petersburg, unless other industries develop and winch at this writing are not even vague hopes, will not be worth a hill of beans. Property values will tumble. Clique, clans and tribes will vanish to other labor markets and like Dou.'la we will live in the hope of some big strike that will rebuild the town.

LEST WE FORGET

Across the channel is a little spot sometimes called a cemetery-for that is where are buried our dead Are planted their until eternity our friends who have gone before; are planted there men who served their country's call to arms.
 It is fitting that good Americans bear in mind that those who offered their all in their countrys need are resting in that neglected spot with no loved ones to put the loving touch of memory upon their deserted graves. In memory-in their honor it is hoped that effort will be mad to clean and clear up the cemetry before Memorial Day.

ALL FROM SAME ROOT

We listened to a conversation the other day on one of the floats. It was between a group of trollers and the gist of which was as follows:
 T came in from Dall Island with about $100. worth of salmon and sold my catch in Ketchikan, last week. At the float were more than a hundred Puget Sound trollers and whe nthey learned where we got ou.' fish, there was a rush to their boats Sand a scurrying to the fishing grounds. When we got back there we did not have a chance to make expenses for competition from those Seattle birds.'
 A second speaker said: Those fellows ought to be taxed at least $500. for fishing in Alaska. We can- not fish in Oregon or Washington unless we are residets of those states for at least 12 months. Why should they come here and fish in com petition with us and not be required to pay tax or be bona fide resi- dents?"
 And why shouldn't they be tax ca or compelled to be residents as in the Coast States. The Progressive Republican ticket, up for election next November, are pledged to put a prohibitive tax on these migra- tory birds and to work for "resi- dent law. Remember the ticket next fall. A vote against them is a vote for the perpetuation of the present unfair system.
