The Alaska Railroad was built largely as a means of opening up the Territory, and the main line covering the 470 miles from Seward to Fairbanks was put in operation in 1923, Congress auth orizing from time to time total of nearly $6O,o0o,o0o to complete the road which has been un- der operation, including branch es a total of 5558 miles of track. Financially the road has never been a success, for small freight shipments and light pas senger traffic have not brought in sufficient revenue to meet expenses.
 On the other hand the Pana- ma Railroad has always been able to show profit This road was built by a corporation char tered by an act of the New York legislature April ', 1849, at the time of the California gold rush. The 47 miles from Colon to Pa mama, completed in 1855 cost S3,OO0,OO0 and the first gold rushers paid S5 to cross the Isthmus. During the first .1O years the road carried $700,000,- 900 in specie and 100000 bags of mail without losing a dollar in gold or a bag of mail.
 The railroad is still operated
 as a comon carrier by 3 cor poration but the Federal gov ernment owns all of the capital stock which is issued in the name of the Secretary of War. This came about by the fact that the French government had bought the stock of the original company when it made it's two attempts to build the canal and 1t became necessary for the United States to take over the property when it finally as- sumed the task of the great waterway There was some pri- vate stock outstanding but the Federal government finally ob- tained complete control in 1904.
 The road was an essential factor in building the canal which it follows as far as poss- ible. AS on the canal the Allan tic terminal is more than 25 miles west of the Pacific termi- nus. The road is now an impor- tant adjunct in the operation of the canal and many of the bus mess activities on the Isthmus connected with the canal are conducted with the funds of the railroad.
 The total trackage operated by the Panama Railroad is 153

Jobless Council Takes
Lead in Struggle

NEW YORK.--Many jobless work

The Downtown Council is collect

The council is taking the initiative
in organizing a tenants league at
l49 and Isl Bropme st.. where
CHASTITY conditions prevail. This is a
big tenement owned by Backrach
Realty Co. The company proposes
to raise the rents from 50 to So on
all tenants. Most of them are out
OF work, and those that have part
time jobs can get only about SO a
week. They can not pay the pres
ent rates.
A spontaneous tenants strike broke
out here two weeks ago, when the
rates we're announced, and the land
lords are bringing dispossess case
against one family to try and
frighten the others.
Last year. when 9 steam heating
system was put In. only one radiator

raised from IS to $40 on each apart
ment. The toilets are out of order;
water seeps through the ceilings in
some rooms; plaster is falling in some
rooms. and the company refuses to
make repairs.
A provisional tenants league is or
ganized already, q meeting is being
held today on the premises to COM

job of slugging unemployed workers
on the streets of New York he is
now in a new racket, as a fixer OF
football games to relieve" unem-
pIoyment. Whalen's first attempt at
this racket took place on Dec. IA,
when he organized football game
between the Army and Navy Acad-
envy football teams. The proceeds of
this game were supposed" to go to
the unemployed. We doubt it! Why?
Take look at this. The New York

this) would be used to relieve con-

list OF honor guests. At the head of
the list no other than (himself)
Hamilton Fish, government investiga-
tor of working class activities in the
U. S. and author of anti-labor laws !
Next comes Mayor Walker, who needs
no introduction to the unemployed
workers. He introduced himself al
the City Hall when he slugged the
unemployed delegation. Others who
have in one way or another used
their positions against the workers
were; Secretary of Navy. Charles
Francis; Secretary of War, Patrick
Hurley, and a score of other military
leaders who are part of the interna-
tional military conspirators to crush
the workers republic of the Soviet
Union and active strike-breakers in
colonial countries and also here in
the United States. Last, but not
least, come the psalm singers collect
ing funds on the streets for them
selves while the unemployed are
dying of starvation.
This is just another racket of the
bosses to use sports to distract the
attention of the workers from fight
ing for real unemployment relief
