WHAT UNION HAS
BETTER RECORD /?

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-How
many trade unions can boast Of hav-
ing sixty members with fifty years
or more of membership to their
credit? That's the record of Colum-
bia Typographical Union No. 101, In
ternational Typographical Union,
and the union wants to know if there
are other labor organizations that can
match or excel it.
Columbia Union has been IN con-
tinuous existence since 1915, and
probably is the oldest labor organi.-
zation in the country. The records
for the past lis years are complete
and are interesting to high degree.
In checking tie list of membres re-
Gently while writing new history
cards, the secretary found that quite
a number of members were initiated
prior to 1880, and two before No. 101
affiliated with the international in
1867. This local of the l. T. U. has
a great many elderly members, but it
is believed to be unique in the num-
ber of 50-year memberships. Indeed,
there are more members in this class
than are on the rolls of many local
unions.
The r.;.n si'h ire c'dast memLeI-
ship is William w. Mahoney, who
has belonged to Columbia Union since
1861. He is probably the oldest OF
the "old timers" being more than 80.
Many others have records Of men,

and early 70s. A dozen are still

"POwer." :"
(New York Times.)

Politicians are always looking for the magic Wora with which to carry an election. Their search is for a cry or a slogan which will take the place Of argument For some time hints have come from Washington and other factories of politics. that the choice for 1892 would be Power Senator Wheeler of Montana could keep the secret no longer and burted it out at the Jefferson dinner in this city on Saturday evening He confessed that he had been doing a good deal of anxious looking about for an issue in the next Presidential election but said that he has at last found it, to his own satisfac- ton in the control of power and public utilities The intention is clearly to win an election, not to curb power. That the latter, in some of its manifestations, ought to be curbed, is conceded Regulation both by Federal and State Govern lments ought to be frightened The financial methods of some of the utility corporations ought to be sharply looked into Decisions of Judges affecting valuation for making purposes, and the per lcentage of return be allowed on legitimate in- lvestment ought to be clarified, possibly revised In some cases perhaps reversed All this necessary work lis being undertaken advsedly by many competen; students and lawmakers and governmental executives in various parts of the country It ought to DC pressed to conclusions satisfactory than those already reached by Public Service Commissions ano

RYDER VOTES "WET.'

While the Literary Digest was conducting US Prohibition poll throughout the rest of the country not including Alaska a business firm in Hyder staged straw voting contest of its own using the same questions that the Digest carried on US ballots The results as announced by the Hyder Herald were about in the ratio of Dry Moist and Wet as the latest returns from the national poll.
 There was a total of I'll votes cast in the Hyder straw vote Twenty-seven voters favored strict en- forcement; 58 were for notifications to permit the sale of light wines and beer; and ST favored the outright repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment Thus modificationsts outnumbered those for en- forcement by two to Repealists were three to one stronger than the Drys and had a majority of two over enforcement and modification com bned
 Hyder is typical Alaska mining town Its sen timent as reflected by the poll of the enterprising business man. is probably little if any different from that of any other Alaska community.

Where the Delegate Stands.
(Anchorage TimesD


 Delegate Sutherland is not in sympathy with the views of those Aaskans who are objecting to the proposal to invest game wardens with author ity to search and Seize without warrant. He has made his position clear in letter to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in which he says in effect, that amending the Alaska game law in the manner suggested would impose any greater restrictions upon Alaskans than those long ago adopted by many of the States for the protection Of wild life Inspection of these State laws" he argues, war rants one in assuming that proper enforcement of laws relating furs and fur animals requires enactments similar to those of the several States, . The proposed law for Alaska does not go so far any of the State laws quoted, but would, l believe require a warrant for the search Of any buildings such as are enumerated by the State laws, and I am sure that individuals could not be searched under this provision"
 The provision in question reads that "any of ficer or employee empowered to enforce thls act shall have authority without warrant to search any camp camp outfit, pack or pack animals, automo- bile, wagon, or other vehicle, sled or any boat vessel or other craft " The Maine New York land California laws specifically exempt dwelling houses from search without warrant which the pro- posed Alaska amendment does not do the Wash ington, Oregon Pennsylvania and West Virginia laws according to the Delegate, extend the right of warrantless search to persons, but he is sure Alaskans could not be searched under the proposed Alaska amendment It is stated plainly enough however, that their packs could be taken from them Wnlcn It VlTUudly the same as eiieH PC sons and it might prove very difficult for an Alaska trapper, under the terms of the pending measure, to convince game warden that his cabin in the woods is his dwelling and not camp. | There are a great many Alaskans who will not agree with the Delegate in the stand he has taken who believe the Territory already is overburdened with restrictions and that any additions will tend to increase rather than lessen violations of the game laws. Game wardens do not need more authority than is already possessed by them; more ef- fective way to handle the situation would be to provide funds for the employment of an additional number of wardenS

NORWAY'S HERRING CATCH LARGER

The 1880 herring season of Norway which was practically ended by the first part of April was the most successful record. The catch was larger than that of 1928 by 4o38949 bushels. This despite the fact that several years ago alarmists predicted gloomily that the herring badly depleted by the operations of reduction plants An official in vestigation made at that time denied that such was the case and on its showing, the Government re- fused to impose any regulations on the use of herring for that purpose.
 It is significant that reduction plants this year handled over 50 per cent. of the total catch-5,- 500419 bushels being utilized by them in producing herring oil and meal. Other methods of market ing reported as follows: frozen herring 2,726,492 bushels; salted 295006l bushels, and canning fac- tories, 218163 bushels.

Paper Industry Starts
 Use of Southern Timber

PANAMA CITY, May 15. = The south. with it's enormous timber resources, is getting start in the paper industry.
 The Southern Kraft Corporation, a subsidiary of the International Paper Company, has signed con- tracts for erection of $10,000,000 paper mill in this Florida city along the shores of St. Andrews Bay.
 Florida pine will be utilized in making pulp for kraft paper. The rapidity with which timber grows in Florida was a large factor in To- eating the plant, which will be the largest mill of it's kind in the south and one of the largest in the United States.
 The company plans to keep a continual crop feeding the mill. taking advantage of the rapid growth of southern trees. Three hundred thousand acres will make up the timber land holdings.
 It is hoped to start production before the end of the year.

as now, the movement might have been still more retarded, and the reader may at tempt to picture what would have been the effects of trying by legislation to keep To per cent of the population on the farms!
 The truth is that even today there are too many people on the farms for their own good or for wel-balanced economic situa- ton. If 25 per cent. or more of those were transferred to other industries and the remaining farms were all equipped with the machinery and methods used by the best 25 per cent, the market for farm products and the market for other products would both be better than they are today.
 In short, the industrial system is not in equilibrium, the supply of crude products being in excess of the supply of finished products, with the result that the producers of the former are too poorly paid to take their proper share of the latter.

Audubon First Banded Birds.

Bird banding in this country dates from the time of John J. Audubon, who about 1903 marked la brood of phoebes with silver wire and was re- warded the following season when two of the banded birds returned to nest in the same vicinity Since then more than 100000 birds have been banded in the United States and Canada by CO., operators of the United States Biological Survey

INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM UNBALANCED

The day of the small village, like that of tht Little Red Schoohouse of yesteryear, is almos ended, is the conclusion drawn by many authoritie from the figures now being assembled. Takel as a whole, the small towns during the past ter years have declined in population at a marked rat and the cities have gained at their expense. Som of the sentmentally inclined have expressed regre that this should occur, while others have pointed out that it is the natural concomitant of the revo lutionary industrial developments taking place 10 the past decade or more
 The National City Bank, New York, in a well considered letter recently pointed out why farm ant small town population has dwindled, and why it further recession if properly directed into ndustra channels, will be of benefit to the country. Il part the bank said:
 The over reproduction of the world today is in crude products. Apparently productive capacity is engaged too largely upon these and insufficienty upon the production of the finished goods ready for consumption. It cannot be said that the people have all the goods of the latter class they want. The development of nstallhnent buying is con- vincng demonstration that many persons have wants unsatisfied and is it not a matter of common knowledge that this is uniformly the Would there be any slack season in the house building or home furnishing industries if every family could have what it wanted in these lines?
 It will be said, of course, that slack trade is due to inability the part of woud-be consumers to buy, but since our wants supplies by a combined system of industry and trade, the purchasing power of consumers exists in their powers of production and the latter should set the only limitation upon consumption. In other words, there would be any unemployment if the industries in proper relations to each other and trade was functioning properly.
 The declining percentage of population the farms and the growth of the other industries in the last one hundred years il- illustrates the economic law of the distri- button of population to conform with in dustrial progress. As production per worker on the farms has increased, by the invention of machinery and otherwise, the proportion of the whole population required on the farms was lessened and the prices of farm products tended to fall, thus inducing the surplus workers to seek other employment and affording the labor for the expansion of other industries. The movement never has been rapid enough to maintain the indus tries which it is now solemnly declared to be one of the duties of the Government to maintain If the science of political agita- ton and organization had been as highly developed in the simple days of the past

None Injured In
Highway Crash

Defective brake lining is given
as the cause of an automobile acci-
dent which occurred on the Calex-
leo highway at 5 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon. Facts regarding this
accident, obtained from the traffic
department are: A car owned by
c. f. Butler, having run out of
gasoline was being pushed off the
highway. NJ. X. Stout, of Imperial,
following closely behind this car,
slowed up, being prevented from
passing the stalled car by the
heavy traffic coming from the
north. The crash occurred when
w. Head, FL Centre, coming be-
hind Stout's car, put his brakes on
suddenly, causing the lining on one
wheel to break. The car then
rolled into the rear end of Stout's
car and pushed it into the ditch,
the pavement being rather slippery
at the time. This ear suffered a
bent axle and broken wheel, while
Heald's car had its front tenders
and headlights broken. Damages
were confined to the two ears, there
being no one injured.

CHANGE MADE
in SCHEDULE
OF PLANE co.

Announcement of change in the
operating schedule of the Western
Air Express was made today
through the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce. The change went into
effect yesterday, May 4, and was
made as result of an extension of
the passenger service of that com
pany. The planes of the Western
Air Express which formerly flew
from Los Angels to Phoenix have
extended their service from Los
Angeles to Dallas, making the trip
half way across the continent in
about II hours time.
On the new schedule planes will
leave Los Angeles at a. m., stop
ping at San Diego at ) a. M. and
reaching the Imperial County air
port at 6:e5 a. IN. Immediately TAX
ing off the planes will arrive in
Phoenix at OILS a. m. and Will
reach Dallas at 1880 p. m. The re-
turn schedule shows the planes TAX
ing off from Dallas at 5 a. H.,
reaching Ell Centre at 2:50 p. m. and
arriving at San Diego at $3.50 and
Los Angeles at 1876 p. m. This re-
turn schedule is about the same as
the one on which the planes have
been flying from FL Centre west.
The new schedule is obtainablc
at the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce and anyone wishing to make
trip on the Western Air Express
line can get information at cham
Der headquarters. Officials of the
aviation company state that pas
senger service is increasing over
this route and that the lengthening
of the route is necessitated by de-
mand for quick passenger service
from Dallas to California cities. At
Dallas the Western Air planes will
connect with passenger and air
mail planes flying cast, making an
efficient passenger service from
Los Angeles to far eastern points
and connecting with other air lines
if the Western Air Express secures
the southern air mail contract, as
is now the hope of the company
and of the entire southwest.
