niger of the Illinois Mines were
Kissed.
Virden day is the anniversary of
the heroic battle in 1898, when the
newly organized Illinois Miners
Union members took their rifles and
went out to repel a trainload of i'm
ported scabs and armed guards.
Reviving Virden Day.
The result of the battle was that
the train went back to where it came
from, taking its scab cargo, and that
the miners lost nine of their men,
bers, killed. An unknown number
of scab herders were slain. Every
year since then there has been a
Virden Day celebration. Recently
the bureaucrats of the U.M.W.A.
have made Virden Day an occasion
for class collaboration speeches. The
N.M.U. celebration re-establishes
this miners anniversary as revo-
lutionary holiday.
The miners at the Stanton meet
ing enthusiastically endorsed the
N.M.U. program, which includes be-
sides the two points above: the six
hour day and the five-day week, So
cial insurance for the unemployed,
paid for by the companies and adj
ministered by the men; no more
check-off, against the speed-up. The
vote for these propositions was
taken by a show of hands, and was
unanimous.
The National Miners Union has
issued statement on the Fishwick-
Lewis dog fight, as follows:
"The present controversy between
Lewis and Fishwick is fight as to
who is going to get control of the
Illinois Miners treasury. The charges
and counter-charges of Lewis and
Fishwick now bring out into the
open again a situation that has been
described long time ago by the
National Miners Union. The min
ers of Illinois are beginning to see
more clearly the graft and corrup-
ton dominant in the remnants of
the U.M.W.A., as well as the lack
of policy which has led to its des-
truction.
"The thousands of miners in this
district are turning to the only force
that is capable of giving them lead
ership, the National Miners Union.

WASHINGTON.-Tests showing how salmon return to their native rivers to spawn were outlined before the conference of the scientific divi- sion of the fisheries bureau by Dr. J.. o.

Alaska probably offers a. better field for prospectors than does any similanrareas on the continent Mir ing wall always be. one of the, basic industriessof Alaska, and 1t is not op- tilnistic to predict that the present annual mineral production does not begin t's approach the peak of the an- nual production which Alaska will eventually yield. The most disturb ing factor, however, is the limited number of prospectors thinly sprinkled over such a vast area.
 There are many plans to stimulate prospecting ard to make the work of the individual prospector more effect i've. The development of airplane transportation is proving an effective tool. The Ia Territorial Legislature altered enco. ragement by creating a fund to pay certain transportation ex- penses of scospectors. The Alaska College dur. .ng the past six years has trained over one hundred miners in it's mining short course. Many pros- pectors from different points in the Territory f.avg'repeatedly expressed desire for this short course training, hut the fluids of the College have not.

Criticism for

PLACING OF SPY IN ATLANTA PRISON BROUGHT UP IN

permitted bringing, the short course work to tffem,. and the barrier of travel, expense. and time have pre- vented them from coming to the Col lege. It is true, that occasionally prospectors from such distant points as Ketehikan and Nome have come to the, College for the mining short course, but they represent but small minority of the prospectors in the dis tant districts.
 To serve in small measure these distant prospectors, the staff of the School of Mines at the Alaska College has prepared a short series of ar ticles designed to meet few of the field problems of the prospector. To we'd this series into unit and make them more real, we have attempted to weave these articles around the daily life of two typical prospectors, Larry O'Sullivan and Jack Mckay, who are developing quartz prospect on distant Alaskan mountain. These articles will be published under the title "Tales From the Hills," and will be released to all Alaskan newspapers for bi-weekly publication.
 Frankly, this Is an experiment. These articles are framed for the prospectors and we hope that they will enjoy them, for if they prove .suc- cessful we will prepare new series at some later date. We appreciate that the attempt to clothe the bones of science with attractive garments is ren to criticism, but we will gladly
