OZARK CEDAR TREES CUT
TO HALT SPREAD OF RUST

BY the Associated Press.
JOPLIN, Mo-, June Cedar trees
which in the past have added much to
the scenery of the Ozarks, are being cut
down by farmers near here to halt the
spread of cedar rust. The trees, enemies
of apple orchards because of the fungus
growth they spread. are being made into
cedar poles and shipped to all parts Of
the Nation.
Last year more than 10000 cedar
poles were shipped from the White
River district and now great piles of the
tree trunks are being stacked alongside
State highways ready for shipment.
Cedars cause a $4,000 loss annually to
Ozark orchard growers. -

DECLINE IN STOCK
PRICES RESUMED
Market Again Subjected to
Short Selling at Week
End Session.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June THE climax to
week of declining prices for stocks
was reached in today's short session
when. with volume heavily increasing,
prices were forced down from 2 to 6
points in active shares, some OF them,
including United States Steel, breaking
through the May level.
The opening transactions bore the
Definite stamp of professional operations
in the number of large units OF STOCKS
offered and the effort to make the mar
ket look as weak as possible. The erect
of this was to produce further Ilquloa-
ton from those whose margins nave
been encroached on in series OF day
to-day reactions.
There was also a certain amount of
selling by others who have been dis
couraged not only by the action of the
market but by the slow recovery IN
business The weekly trade reviews in
dicated a better sentiment, but no i'm
proyement IN the actual industrial
turnover, with such measurements OF
trade as bank clearings rejecting the
general dizziness.
Attack on Steel.
The main point of attack by the bear
element was on United States Steel,
which had closed Friday only little
over a point above its previous low OF
the year, and was quickly offered down
until it registered a loss OF over 2f2
points and was IA points below the
May 5 figure. Westinghouse, General
Electric, Johns Manville, Radio, Radio
Keith Orpheum, Simmons and Amer
lean Can were other industrialS to sui
fer sharp reactions. The motors stood
I'D fairly well, with the maximum de-
cline In the active stocks less than a
point. Among the oils a loss of IA
points in Standard of New Jersey was
the most prominent.
Utilities were all under the influence
of liquidation and short selling. De
clines ranged from l to points and
were largest in American e. Foreign
Power, Consolidated Gas, Public Service
of New Jersey and United Corporation,
Rails were firmer than either the in
dustrials or utilities, as they have been
throughout the recent downward move
ment in the general list.
Transactions in the first half hour
amounted to 10000 shares the largest
for a Saturday since May 3, when the
market was undergoing heavy liquida-
ton and had about reached the bottom
of the movement. Selling diminished
in the second hour which permitted
moderate rallies. There was not Suffi-
| cient buying power. however, to bring
| about any important advances and
here and there through the list were
issues that remained conspicuously
| heavy.

A SAN FRANCISCAN ALASKAN

It appears odd that Peter Ohl- son, president of the miSnamed association of fiShermen-AlaS ka FiShermen's Association, SO called, should appear before the congressional committee to sup port a measure designed to eff feet the fishing industry of Alas ka. MT. Peter Ohlson, since when have you been appointed walk ing delegate for the fishermen of Alaska? Where is YOUR resi- dence in Alaska that you present yourself before Congress to voice an appeal for legislation which will have a detrimental effect upon bona f1de residents? Since when and where is there an Alaskan Fishermen's Associa- tion recognized in Alaska?
 Talking about bootleg salm- on" is not as bad as talking about Bootleg Alaska Fisher mems Association" Your right name is San Francisco Fisher mems AssociatiOn-the branch which liveo in California, spends it's Alaska earnings there and do nothing to develop the Terri tory The "bootleg union" which operates against the welfare of like laboring class in Alaska and which seeks to destroy a means of resident livelihood.

4 VICIOUS VOTING LAW

Democracy turns up some curious by-products. In the re- public of Panama, created by the United States for reasons known to everyone, a law has Just been passed compelling all government employees to vote
 All government employees, Of course, SHOULD vote, but the effect of the law will be to per rctuate the government in Of flee, world without end. If the proportion of public employees to the rest of the population is similar to that in our own land, the official group holds the ba- lance of power.
 Several countries, notably Australia, have compulsory vot- ing laws, but they include every enc. They are, we think, bad t2Ws, but at least they are better than the vicious Panama statute, which has no reason for exis- tence except the defeat of the will of the people-Seattle Star.
 The situation in Alaska is ap- tly described in the above edi- torial taken from the. Seattle Star. Domination of territorial affairs by tourist employees un- der pay of the Federal Govern ment who as soon as they are divorced from their jobs return to the states and leave their damable work behind.
 It is not conceivable to our mind that the federal bureau crats, employed in the main in Juneau will vote to support men or principles which will destroy their. own livlihood. It is not hu- man nature to destroy any ma chine, a part of which the voter is an important little cog. The selfishness of the little cog or the little voter does not think Of principles but he does think in principals and he works to in

PROTEST AMERICAN FILM
IN GERMAN |

Early this month snakes were turned loose through a theatre which was showing the Ameri- can film All Quiet on the Vest crn Front, showing in Berlin, Germany. The reptiles were of a harmless variety but it caused a near panic. The week previous to this white rats were turned loose on the floor of the same theatre.
 As a result of these actions, the Supreme Film Board had un- der consideration requests of some veteran organizations to forbid further showing of the film in Germany on the ground that it is an insult to the Ger man war dead.
 As out and out propaganda a. gainSt war this is the greatest picture that has ever been shown on any screen. General William T. Sherman, Federal General during the Civil War declared that War was hell' and the picturization of war in this great film sh0Weo war to be all that tI-e great american General de- claTed it to be. The rat-a-tat tat Of the machine gun; the rattle Of the rifle; the bombing by air planes; t-e destruction of cities and even church properties without cOmpunction; the greed, selfishneSS and avarice of war lords who were too proud to fight but who were always patriotic in sending forth other men to be cannon fodder of enemy guns all were shown. You are living or you are dead" being the only thing that mattered at the front and men were only small pawns in great games; in games which the men had no part. As indivi- duals men did not have the de- sire to kill those of enemy coun- tries but as parts of national units they went out with lust and desire to kill and kill and kill.
 This film All Quiet on the Western Front" should be shown III the schools every year in every country until the younger generation realize the horrors of war so truly that they will not want any more wars.

"BOOTLEGGING SALMON"

On the 18th of December at a nearing before the House Com mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, the Bureau of Fisher ies asked Congress to eliminate floating cannerieS from the salmon industry of Alaska. Mr. O'Malley appeared before the Committee in behalf of the bill which he stated was needed to enable the bureau to efficient " protect the salmon runs in Alaska by making it possible to know in advance of the season how extensive the fishing would be-" The measure was introduced by Representative Welsh, Re- publican of California Under this bill the cannery operator would have to serve notice in advance of their operating pro- gram. It would also prohibit the operation of any individual can nery at more than one location in any single season. The bill is aimed at some floating outfits which is not in the canning as- sociatiOn and which the aSSocia- tion wants out of their districts.
 Capt. w. J. Peterson, repre- senting the Ship Oweners As sociation of the Pacific Coast fa- vored the bill and declared that the bill was flor protection a. gainst fishermen bootleggers, which he declared referred only to floating plants" Peter Olsen
 President of the Alaska Fisher mems Union of San Francisco supported the measure and he declared that the floating can leries "go up there and take as much as they want, reducing the

 Delegate Sutherland opposed
 his bill as being a pernicious measure aimed to destroy a lart of the canning industry to favor another element in the in

 ension Of the authority of the Commissioner Of Fisheries. He
 )Ointed out the fact that the law
 lnder which the fisheries of Alaska was administered was alright but the administering of that law lay in the hands of Henry O'Malley who used the law in such a manner as to fa- vor the monopolies.
