LOCAL FOLK RETURN
 FROM PASS VACATION

Seward or bust was the bat tie cry of seven local residents who, owing to change in rail- road schedule, were almost ma rooned in the Moose Pass area, but who arrived last night by auto from Lake Kenai.
 However, Tramp, Tramp, and some more Tramping' probably fits the case better for the party hit the grit' from Moose Pass Station, Mile 29, to Lawing, Mile 23, where Mrs Nellie Neal Law- ing prepared them a bounteous spread
 MT. and Mrs. Leon Urbach, Mir. and Mrs. Harold Painter, MT. and Mrs Charles Sheldon and little Jerry Protzman were the hikers.
 From Lawing they were taken across the lake to Mile 14, the terminus of the Seward High way, where friends met them with autos and whizzed them home
 The party had wonderful vacation and were reluctant to leave but duty beckoned.
 Most of the time was spent at Hope but a fine duck hunt was enjoyed from Chas. Mathison's boat on Ptarnigan Arm, in the Chickaloon flat region. They lived on Charley's boat while knocking over the birdies.

ECHOES OF THE INVESTIGATION

Senator Howell IS of an mquI1ng turn ot mlnd Up at an Anchorage cafe he looked around and re marked about the several boxes of strawberries the shelf
 Very nice berries" you get They expensive way up here Alaska
 "Oh sir replied the French waitress n her best manner they grown right here only pay for them
 Well Howell and have nice looking milk too $ produced here?"
 indeed said Madelon and is quite cheap sir We only pay twenty-five cents quart for it. sir you looking bread too said the Sen Anclorage?'

 well adye faire remarked Senator me 3 bowl of milk and small dish of berries
 The service was rendered, with a paper nap kind on the side and when the nquring Senators paid his bill it took five pre-war francs one dollar to settle
 The Senator smiled and said nez-poudre, can see with one good eye that what up collaboration between producer the consumer

 Up at Anchorage music dealer ordered number of copies of popular song, which starts:
 We will will miss him,
 There will be cnair.N
 Several of the railroad departments have bought copies and as they sing n chorus they look at each other with suspicion
 Speaking of songs the Anchorage Times has written the words and as soon as IL can De Sel to music free copies will be available at half dollar apiece. The first reads:
 IA million deficit is quite invested,
 In grabbing much interested,
 Any trimming Q jobs will be hotly contested
 No sofas or rocking shall be molested,
 While the grub Curry digested
 During the taking of testimony relating 10 sur plus jobs at the railroad headquarters Senator Ken d1ick remarked that it reminded him of Washington during the time
 'There was one where man held Job as foreman of gang at extra wage. He got ambitious and worked pull to get appointed general foreman An investigation was ordered and the discovery was made that he was the only man in the gang. He had worked his pull once too often"
 It 1t is said that the captain of l2foot scow IT. formed the Senators that Anchorage harbor was all right for navigation and produced bottle of water to prove his assertion.
 At Lawing the Senators made short stop, and were listening to story about a grizzly chasing a woman and just he about to grab her the tram whistle blew and they had to rush away leaving the "oso grande' with his paws outstretched toward his victim.

REVISING THE
CHERRY TREE FABLE

THE gall of Tammany grafters in
New York is enough to make
you swallow your Adams apple.
The new Tammany Hall, by the way
sits darn near the Daily Worker on
Union Square. And while we're by
the-waying, you should know that
the Society of Tammany or Column
bian Order" as it is known, was
started by Aaron Burr, traitor to
the government in it's early days,
who tried to split the country and
form an empire of part of it.
Anyhow, the Tammany-W Walker
regime today, which waves flag
with one hand while it CRAFTS with
the other, in identifying" Union
Square, has put in a tall stick flag
pole slap-dab in front of the Daily
Worker, and is making collection
of seventeen moldy brass statues of
patriots to stick here and there.
The other day, with the aid of a
derrick, darned if George Washing
ton didn't come riding on brass
horse, right into Union Square, and
stopped, with hand appraised, point
ing straight at the new plag-pole.
Father, cannot tell a lie," he
seems to blurt out as we looked him
over. "That flag-pole is not worth

THE blood of more than 5000
workers, slaughtered by the Co.
lombian government to keep the IA
vor of the United Fruit, that strang-
ling tentacle of American imperial
ism in the Caribbean area, is still
fresh, when the United Fruits pup
pet government of Honduras is pre-
pairing a bloody massacre of the
workers.
In no country of Latin America
is the United Fruit Co. stronger
than in Honduras, where it holds
about 35 per cent of its investments,
bananas constituting so per cent of
the country's foreign commerce.
The wave of mergers manifested
itself in Honduras in the acquisition
by the United Fruit of the Cuyamel
Fruit Co. last December, making the
United the sole ruler of this rich
land.
The first step of the company
after the merger was the sending of
a committee to discharge many
workers and cut the cost of produc-
ton rs per cent, which meant a
worsening of the already unbearable
conditions of the workers. The
deepening of the economic crisis,
which has diminished demand and
hence production, has further inten-
sified the misery of the workers.
This terrible misery has resulted
in willingness of the workers to
fight, and in an organized manner.
The Honduran Federation of Labor
began to crystalline this movement
in a big organization drive, which
naturally met vicious persecution by
the United Fruit Co. and the gov
eminent headed by Mejia Colindres
Tosta.
The preparation of a strike met
with a terror campaign. On June
II, in Progreso, four workers were
jailed, Jeremias Escobar, Carvajal,
Tomas Flor and Jose Angel Trujillo.
The latter, who was organizer of the
