MAYOR FIRST SPEAKER

Mayor McMullen stated it gave him much pleasure to welcome the members of Congress to Sew ard, not only welcoming them in behalf of the citizens of this city but for the personal delight it has given him.
 T have been a resident of Alaska for 20 years" he said, part of which time was spent in Nome but for the most part, here in Seward. And I am not only proud of Alaska but par ticularly so of Seward. You have been in the hands of Colonel Ohlson, general manager of our railroad, for the past week. We all are confident he is the man. an Empire builder who is go- Ing to make the railroad. His first move, as you know, is that of obtaining settlers. Again, as the official representative of the town, I welcome you and hope we have made a good impression with you as progressive Alas ka town. I thank you

SPLENDID REPRESENTATI o N OF SEWARD CITIZENS

Seward was especially honor ed last evening in that, at the brief time at their disposal, an opportunity was afforded where by they were able to personally meet and hear the individual mem bers of the Congressional party which returned from the Inter ior about o'clok- and departed for Seattle at 9.
 The ocassion was the supper which began at 6:30 lasting to 8:30 o'clock, followed by a talk from each of the four members of the Agricultural Sub-Com- n2ittee on Appropriations, L. J. Dickenson of Iowa, chairman; J. w. Summers of Washington, John N. Sandlin of Louisiana, and James P. Buchanan of Tex as.
 Long before the presiding of ficer, Leon Urbach, president of the Chamber of Commerce call cd first upon Mayor P c. Mo Mullen for the opening speech, every chair in the capacious ban Quet room of the Seward Grill had been filled; it was without any question one of the foremost gatherings of local citizens in many years. And the Congress ional party appreciated to the highest degree this evident tes- tirnony of sincere appreciation.

PROHIBITION Dirt
AIRED IN SENATE
Reed Tells Some Well
Known Facts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The
senate today adopted the Jones bill
for higher penalties on those con-
victed of violations of the prohibi-
ton law. 1t now goes to the house.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Tha
Borah answer to Senator Reeds at
tack on the prohibition enforcement
act, the Jones bill, increasing penal
ties for violation of the dry law, is
taken here as a statement of policy
if Borah receives the job of attorney
general from Hoover.
There is a definite and apparently
we'll founded rumor that this offer
has already been made to Borah. The
Idaho senator used to be anti-ad-
ministration, and was called an Gin
surgent." He was the chief advocate
in this session, however, of the Kel.
! logg pacts, an administration i'm
Iperialist measure. He opposed" II
harmless, perfunctory manner, the
fifteen cruiser bill, refusing to per.
nit a filibuster against it. Fol
these services, and others, say the
chieftainS here, III will be rewarded
by a cabinet position.

Miners RELIEF
Cleveland Conference
First of Series

CLEVELAND, Feb. 21.-The
first district conference called by the
Workers International Relief to
start the campaign for miners relief,
will be held Sunday, February "a,
at 226 w. Superior Street, Cleveland,
Ohio.
This begins a series of confer
ences to be held thruout the country
at which plans to raise funds for the
destitute miners and their families
will be acted upon. John Fromholz,
secretary of the Ohio district of the
Workers international Relief, will
deliver the report. Many coal miners
are expected to attend the confer
ence as delegates.
Mine delegates will report on con-
ditions in their respective towns, the
data gathered to be used in future
work. One of the most important
questions on the agenda of the con-
ference, according to Fromholz, will
be to organize rank and file COM
mittees in every coal town, which
will work with the local Workers In
ternational Relief branch in their
activities. A special effort will be
made to draw the inorganic
miners into the work.
Contributions should be sent at
once to the Workers International
Relief, Room 604, One Union Square

REACTION FIGHTS
BIRTH CONTROL
Priests and Politicians
Oppose N. Y. Bill

ALBANY Feb. 21.-Catholic
priests and Tammany politicians
combined with DR.. John Roach
Stratton, head of the fundamental
lists, in solid phalanx Of reaction
today before the assembly codes
committee which is hearing evidence
on the Remer bill to permit physi-
clans to give contraceptive informa-
ton to married persons.
Stratton and Charles Tobin, chair
man of the Catholic Charity Aid
Council, which fears that too few
children in poor families will inter-
fere with it's profession, condemned
the bill as irreligious.
Francis E. Franczak, health COM
missioner of Buffalo, made a NOR
bid demonstration against the bill by
exhibiting on a table number of
surgical instruments used in abor-
tions, something that the bill does
not contemplate. Franczak argued
that the New York birth rate should
be raised, as it has declined from
23.7 per thousand in 1916 to 1872
per thousand in 1928. He refused
to take into account the increasing
exploitation of labor which makes it
difficult for workers to support chill
dren.

Friends of U.S.S.R.
Announce Release of
Graphic Soviet Film

Workers who were unable to visit
the Soviet Union during the tenth
anniversary celebration will have an
opportunity of viewing the first
workers government in the 10-reel
motion picture "a Visit to Soviet
Russia" to be shown here shortly
under the auspices of the Pro-
visional Committee of the Friends
of the U. S. S. R., it was announced
yesterday.
The motion picture was taken in
the Soviet Union during the celebra-
ton of the tenth anniversary of the
October revolution and has been
shown in many European countries.
According to film critics of Ger
many and France, it is the best pic
torial ever filmed.
The achievements of the masses
of the Soviet Union are brought to
the screen in graphic fashion, so
all friends of the U. S. S. R. can
view the progress being made. None
of the scenes in the picture are
staged. They are actual happenings
in the day by day life of the work
ers and peasants living in the Soviet
Union.

GERMAN BOSSES
TRY TO HEAD OFF
FUTURE STRIKES
Textile Magnates Ask
for Govt Board

BERLIN, Feb. 21.-In an effort
to head off the big struggles loom
ing in all centers of the German
textile industry when wage agree
ments expire at the end of this
month, the employers organizations
are proposing that the government
create a BOARD of Arbitration"
which will devote itself to prevent
ing the strikes that are expected to
break out.
Due to the offensive of the en-
ployers against the textile workers,
in which wages were cut and hours
increased despite the known general
improvement of this industry, many
strikes kept breaking out despite eff
forts of the reactionary trade union
leaders to stop them.
In this movement to get the gov
eminent to take steps against pos
sible strike action, the reactionary
union officialdom not only fail to
mobilize the workers against it, but
aid and abet the bosses in their eff
forts.
No head-off measures are likely
to succeed, however, since the work
ers are determined to fight for i'm
provement of conditions, it is de-
clared.

HAND OF WALL
STREET seen
IN GUATEMALA
Two Held as American
Agents in Uprising

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-That
American imperialism takes care Of
its agents sent to stir up revolts in
Central America, in order later TO
justify invasion to bring about
peace and order" is seen in the in
tervention of the U. S. minister TO
Guatemala, Arthur H. Geissler, to
prevent punishment being given to
two Yankee agents charged with
completely in the recent unsuccessful
revolt against the government of
President Chacon.
The two Americans are Zeanon
Posados and Alessio F. LOST. Posa-
dos was born in San Francisco, SC
he says, but lives on the coffee
plantation of his father at Samayao,
Guatemala. He is charged with
having furnished money and auto
trucks to Colonel Fernando Morales,
Jr., one of the chiefs of the military
revolt, and having directed the re-
bellious troops.
Losi, who gives his address as 178
Verona Avenue, Newark New Jersey,
is a representative of the Erie
Chemical Company of Cleveland,
Ohio, selling gas bombs on COM
mission basis. He is charged with
completely in the bomb attempt on
the life of President Chacon.
When these characters were ar
rested, they appealed to the U. s..
minister for protection, and Posados
was released on bond pending a
hearing" by the military courts,
which may never take place. LOST
is defended by an attache of the u.
S. legation, who says LOST sold 3d.
700 worth of gas bombs to the
Guatemalan government, but none at
all to the rebels, though he was
working on commission.
