WASHINGTON, Aug, 29., (P)- Seal skin coats, long symbol of feninine luxury, are guaranteed a continuous lead in the fashion parade, thanks to Uncle Sam's strict policy of conservation.
 Under the guidance of the bur- eau of fisheries, the seal herd on the Pribilof Islands, once near destruction because of indiscrim- mate slaughtering, has grown un- til it now comprises nearly 90 per cent of all existing fur seals.
 With the completion of the re- gular sealing season in July, w.. TT. Bower, chief of Alaskan in vestigations, reports that 39,253 skins have been taken. Between TOO and 1000 skins will be taken in the fall to increase the total more than 5000 beyond the take in 1928.
 Tt is necessary to go back 40 years" he said, ito find a year in which there were as many skins taken at the PribilofS as in the current season. Tn the in tervening> period the take has been so small that in 1913, it amounted to mere 2,4O6 skins" :"
 The seal industry is strictly a government venture, based on an international agreement with Ja- pan, Russia and Great Britain to stem the wholesale destruction of the once plentiful animals. When Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867, the herd is estimated to have numbered se- verdi million animals. Pelagic sealing, the taking of seals at sea, was particularly destructive
 because no discrimination was made in the slaughter and the herd faced extinction.
 Tn 1911, the four nations out lawed pelagic sealing and the United States was charged with building up the herd. No killing of seals is allowed, except by government agents and natives who depend upon the animals for suStenance.
 Seals are killed for their skins by government employees, who se- lect pri m rily three-year- -old bachelors but guard the future (Continued on Page Four)

PLANE PATROL SOUGHT
 FOR ALASKAN FORESTS

WASHINGTON, Aug, 30, P- The forest service hopes to install, within the next two or three years, seaplanes for use in patrolling the two national forests in Alaska, to supplement the patrol boats now in use covering the coast line.
 Seaplanes to look out for fires, and for other patrol purposes, are necessary to supplement the boats, the department explained, on ac- count of the peculiar nature of the Alaskan national forests that makes it practically impossible to reconnoiter the woods by land

The Civic Repertory Theatre is in
position to announce the play which
will begin it's fourth season next
fall. According to Eva LIE Gallien-
ne, founder ana director of the the
atre, the season will open the first
week in October with Anton Tche-
kov's "The Sea Gull" ALA Nazimo-
va will appear in the role of Trina
Nikolayevna Arkadin.
'The Sea Gull' will be the fourth
play by Tchekov to find perma-
nent American berth in Fourteenth
Street; "Three Sisters" and "The
Cherry Orchard" during the first
season and "On the High Road" this
year. 1t is Miss LIE Gallienne's de-
termination to make her theatre the
home of the works of the Russian
master modern dramatist.
Tchekov's entire career as a play
wright was closely connected with
the fate of this play. Produced first
by Nine. Kommissarzhevskaya in St.
Petersburg on October IT, 1896, it
was accounted failure, and the
author in despair gave up playwrit-
ing. 1t was the faith of Nemirovitch-
Dantchenko in the play and the Mos
cow Art Theatres enormously sue
cessful revival Of it during that the
atre's first season in 1898 which re-
kindled Tchekov's interest in the
theatre and made possible the writ
ing of "Three Sisters" and "The
Cherry Orchard, which followed it.
The only previous production in Eng
lish of "The Sea Gull' in New York
was made by the Washington Square
Players on May %, 1916.

Loggers Must Make
Militant Demands

SEATTLE, Wash. (By MaiD-
Most OF the logging operators of
the state Of Washington are de-
Quoting medical aid and accident
fees from our wages.
Furthermore, in many cases,
workers, on arriving in camp, are
forced by the lumber bosses to sign
certain company requirements which
releases the company from all OBJ
legations, and if the worker refuses
to do so, he does not get the job.
The state of Washington Indus
trial and Medical Aid Law, Section
1880, reads that books and records
of all employers shall be open to
the examination of the Industrial
Insurance Commissioner. Section
1897 of the same law says that at
shall be unlawful for employers to
deduct any part of premiums re-
CURED by this section to be by him
(the employer) paid into the sick
and accident fund from the wages
of the workmen"
Neither of these laws are being
observed in Washington, the lum-
Der barons' paradise.
Therefore, fellow lumber work
crs, it is necessary to make demands
on the employer as to wages, con-
ditions, hours ard so forth, through
the power of the strike. We must
also, through the power of the
strike, make demands on the state
as to sick and accident insurance.
The following demands Of the
lumber workers should be made on
the employees:
Eight hours from camp to camp,
with a minimum wage of S..
Double pay for all overtime work.
A minimum wage of SIS day for
all piece-workers.
All beds must be at least three
quarter size, mattresses at least six
inches thick, with plenty of wooden
blankets to keep the body warm. No
double-deckers to be tolerated.
All camps to have shower baths
and dry rooms installed, to be in
working order at all times.
All mulligan cars must have suf-
ficient seating capacity for all of
the workers who ride to and from
work. In inclement weather the
cars must be heated.
Eight hours will be considered a
days work in all kitchen and dining
room work; sufficient labor must
be employed in this work to assure
an 8-hour day. This refers to bull
cooks, head cooks, second cooks,
dishwashers and dining room wait
ers.
No hog pans or garbage piles are
to be allowed in the near vicinity
of the camps.
All employment to be furnished
free of charge. In the event the
worker is not employed on arriving
at said place of employment, his
transportation is to be refunded to
him both ways, with full pay for
time lost travelling both ways.

WORKERS IN
TENNESSEE HIT
BY Big FLOOD
Negro Slaves Suffer
Greatly
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, (By MaiD
The flood waters of the Tennessee
River have receded, and the danger
of more floods is practically over,
but not after the workers in this
section suffered severely.
During the flood over 500 work
ers' families in this section were
made homeless. These 500 families
lived in 200 homes. A great deal of
sickness broke out among these
workers.
Poverty Stricken.
The workers affected by the flood
are all poverty-stricken, and those
who were not unemployed were paid
miserable wages. The workers in
McMinnsville, Sparta, Smithville,
and Hartman, the latter city having
suffered the height of the flood, are
suffering terribly.
Workers proved to be heroes in
many cases in the flood. They were
put to work on repairing the roads
and doing other repair work, and
were paid miserable wages.
Workers Were Heroes.
In Oakdale, workers braved a
heavy rain to clear the streets of
the debris and wreckage. Many of
the workers were injured. One
worker, William Engert, railway
worker, had his arm mangled when
box car being hoisted in the yards
turned over.
Chattanooga workers also suffered
in the flood. The Tennessee river
4 here rose to 80 feet. The flood
played havoc with the lower work
ers' quarters, making 200 workers
families homeless. The workers
districts affected were Bushtown,
Orchard Knob, and South Chat
tanooga.
Negroes Suffer.
The Negro section of Churchville
was one of the hardest hit by the
flood. And, too, the Negro workers
get little help from the Charitable
relief" agencies. Many workers were
thrown out of work as result of
the flood.
Besides the flood, there also was
an avalanche. Stringer's Ridge Tun-
nell, and Bachman Tunnel, were COW
cred with earth.
Several workers of Hartman were
heroes of the flood. They saved the
lives of many people. Among the
hardest hit were the farmers of
Jasper.
The whole Negro section of Viola
was flooded. The water rushed in
so suddenly that the Negro workers
could save nothing of their belong
ings, and as a result are suffering
great privation, with little relief.

 This constitution prescribcs that the mandatory powers are to assume the guardianship over colonial peo- pies as mandatories of the league and in it's name" he said. How then can Chamberlain claim that man. dates do not originate with the League? There are no other man. dates. and no mandate can be ex- ecuted except in the name of the league and, as is evident from an- other provision of the league con- stitution, under its supervision.
 Tn the dictate of Versailles it. self, Germany is compelled to re- nounce all her rights and claims to overseas possessions in favor of the allied and associated powers, that is. to these powers in their entirety, in- cluding the United States of Amer ica.

John Hennessey and John Van Ryn Relieve Anxiety With Play in
 Doubles Match

Washington, May c5 R-Enjoy- ing a lead of two sets to one, John Hennessey and John Van Ryn, young American Davis Cup tennis stars, were comfortably-though not safely-advanced today in their eff fort to repel Japan's contestants and remove the spectre of elimination from their path toward a challenge to France for the trophy.
 The masterful stroking of Yoshiro Ohta, captain of the Japanese team and winner of gruelling five set triumph over Van Ryn in yester- days play of the American zone semi-finais. brought fear to Amert- can tennis followers, who had anti cipated . fairly easy triumph for the New Jersey youth. The score was 6-4, 5-7. c-6. 6-4. 7-5. Van Ryn's victory in the doubles with Hennessey against Ohta and Tamio Abe, however. did much to allay anxiety. Their score was 63, 6-4. s-2.
 Abe was assigned the first of to- days two concluding singles matches against Van Ryn, with Hennessey pitted for the final against the hard driving Ohta. One more victory is required to give America the right to meet Cuba in the American zone finals at Detroit, May 30.
