the revenues received are only $125,OO0 The Department for the current fiscal year faces prospec- tive deficit of s80,000,000 and al- ready it is urging economy in all branches wherever possible.
 Air Mali Service
 Briefly he explained, the plan for Seattle-Juneau air mail service It is proposed to dispatch mail by plane from Seattle each Monday morning, 48 hours after the Alaska Steamship Companys Satur d a v sailings. This would include all accumulated first class mail for Southeastern Alaska towns and for those westerly and in the interior. That destined to points west of here would catch the steamer here and be loaded aboard it.
 He said this plan had been rec commended to the Department. The legal advisers of the Department, however, said the law would not permit such an arrangement, and that mail carried by plane on a regular schedule must be carried only at air-mail rates. It would be necessary to get Congress to amend the law in order to carry out the plan. Congress will be asked to do this. The Department is behind it unreservedly, and MT. Vandervoort said he was hopeful that the amendment would be made at the current special ses- sion of Congress. In that case, bids for the service will be called for without delay

 The Bureau of Census desires that contacts be established with local organizations and officials, to secure their cooperation and as- sistance in connection with the census. The Supervisor of the Census is expected to encourage and welcome the cooperation of organizations interested in cor rect census.

 We will follow the same mer- chandising system in the new de- partments that we have followed in our grocery business" MT. George said. We will handle nothing but the finest goods we can buy sell on small margin of profit and make as many annual turn overs of the stock as is possible.

sponsible for the breaking up of

Lewis thugs is evident from an
article appearing in the Farmont
Times, leading organ of Fairmont,
which states:
Country officials last night de-
clared that they had reliable in
formation that both on Scots Run
and at Greentown (Riverside) Nick
Aielo. Tony Teti and George True,
organizers of the United Mine Work
ers, were present and led their fol-
lowers in breaking up the scheduled

"The growth of the National
Miners Union in this section has
been watched with alarm by the
United Mine Workers. who are de-
termined not to permit it getting a
foothold in Northern West Virginia,
and yesterday when scheduled meet
ings of the new union were to be
held, the United Mine Workers were
present in sufficient numbers to
break it up."

are employed. In the group reported
by the Urban League, 463 out of a
total of 1925 women, are employed
as domestic servants, and APO as
| factory workers. This is indicative
of the trend in industry for it shows
that of this group more women are
employed in factories than men. I'm
skilled women labor is even taking
the place of unskilled man labor be-
cause it is cheaper.
In addition, nearly every family
must take in dodgers to pay the rent.
Even in the group examined by the
Urban League, which was somewhat
higher placed, there was found to
/ be an average of one lodger to each
family.
''Hit Reds"
In some sections of Harlem, over
crowding is so bad, as a result of
the high rents, that the repeating"
or "hot-bed system" is in vogue. The
"Hot-bed system" keeps the bed
always occupied. The same room is
rented to a day worker and night
worker. One tumbles out to go to
work as the other tumbles in from
a days work.
We saw this overcrowding when
we visited the Williams family on
East bath Street, where 10 people
lived in A rooms. We saw the same
thing on Seventh Avenue, where
rents are much higher, and where
every available bit of space is sub
rented to dodgers.
This case is reported by social
worker: "a recent migrant from
South Carolina, his wife and nine
children are living in 2 rooms with
an elderly woman who is i'll. The
wife by looking after this old woman
is given credit for half the rent. All
of the children are under IL years
of age. Two beds were in the apart
ment. Seven of the children slept
on pallets on the floor. 1t happened
that one of the smaller children de-
veloped pneumonia which was
quickly transmitted to other mem
bers of the family. The father was
employed as laborer, but was in
jured shortly after coming to New
York. The rent was $34 per
month"
Wages and Rent.
COCIAL workers for the capt.
y talist state say that no more
than 20 per cent of the wages
should be spent for dwelling.
That remains SO only on paper.
Among the 1926 apartments re-
ported by the Urban League it was
found that II per cent of the ten
ants give away between 20 and 80
per cent of their total wages for
rent; rs per cent are forced to
give between 80 and 40 per cent
of their total wages, and 48 per
cent give ~ landlord more than
40 per cent of their total earnings.
These figures, although low be-
cause they do not include totally
representative group, illuminate
the robbery of the landlord system
on one. hand, and the extreme
slavery of Harlem tenants, on the
other.
