JOBLESS EX-SERVICEMAN
OFFERS SELF FOR SALE

'For Sale: A human being to
the highest bidder. Am a strong,
physically fit man. 1 offer my
self to doctors, hospitals, etc., as
living specimen upon which to
experiment. I will also go any
where or do anything legitimate
to earn living for my wife and
my children"
The above advertisement was
inserted in a Baltimore news
paper. The man, H. l.. Griffis, a
Canadian war veteran, has been
out of job for the last month.
He is a painter by trade. Griffis
has a wife and two children to
support and with starvation star
ing them in the face he is forced
to degrade himself to the extent
of selling himself. This is what
the bosses do for the workers who
have faithfully fought in their
robber wars for profit.

whom you now seek to hlde) re- fused to entertain the offer and told the poor Indian that unless he entered a plea of guilty and paid a fine of $25O the boat would be seized under the ad- miralty provisions.
 Your agent was not concern ed in having the guilt or inno- cence of the poor fellow ascer- tained in court which had been given jurisdiction by Con- gress. He wanted a conviction just as you do and regardless of the mans innocence.
 The District Court was sitting in Juneau four hundred miles from the home of the accused. Lawyers are expensive at that distance Even the matter of attending personally and with witnesses is greater than any laborer can stand. On top of that the fishing season here is so short that even if Morrison won he would suffer far more than S250, or $500, from the loss of his fishing season alone, to say nothing of the cost of his de- fence.
 The result is this--you have made a criminal out of a man innocent of any crime, because under the circumstances he must choose to plead guilty and pay the $250 fine.
 I am not defending crime. Those who deliberately commit crime find no comfort in me. I am asking that the officers of the Government quit prac- tice that amounts to blackmail and give American citizens chance to go into a court au- thorized by Congress to try them in every instance where the citizen so wishes.

missioner at Craig, Alaska, on August 16, 1929. Morrison plead ed guilty and was fined $500.
 There was no question what ever as to the guilt of Morrison in this case as his boat was ap- prehended we'll inside of one of the three markers defining the closed zone 500 yards outside the mouth of Saltery Creek. In some cases a third marker is not erected to show the closed limit of fishing, but in this particular case it so happens that, in addi- tion to the usual two markers on either side of the stream mouth, there was third mark CT on a small island just off, shore There was no doubt what ever that the boat was fishing in closed waters, as it was ap- Drehended inside of this island.
 The markers which are put 500 yards on each side of the mouth of a stream show that fishing is prohibited within 500 yards IN ALL DIRECTIONS from he mouth of the stream POS- sibly in times rast some tenn porary employe of the Bureau of Fisheries may have misinter- preted his instructions in enforc- ing the regulations There is now generally a correct under standing of the limits of the deadline to which fishermen ap- prOach. It is unfortunate that Frequently they are prone to take every possible advantage of the regulations and go as close to one line as they dare In so doing they often invade the closed zones and as a result suffer the penalties of the law and regula- tions.

 gear are tied up. This may cause the fishermen to lose much or even all of the balance of the fishing season. As a result they generally elect to plead guilty and pay the fine so that they may continue to operate. This is lenient treatment so far as viOlators of the law are concern ed, and I feel that a continu- ance of this policy is fully justi- fled.

 l see that we can never meet in our discussion of the prosecution for alleged viola tions of the Alaska Fishery Laws because you are concerned that the advocacy of other less cf- fective procedure in reality amounts to the favoring of vio- lations of these laws and regu- iatiOnS, for it is considered certain that the number of such infractiOns would increase greatly if the present policy Of the Department Cf Justice were modified along the line desired by you"(Your letter of July IS, i93O); while l am concerned with the matter of dealing out simple justice.

large number of husky young volun- teers to work there.
 That the youths of both sexes have been responding freely to the calls for aid has been a marked characteristic of the situation. The "ccmsomols" form probably the most enthusiastically patriotic Of all the soviet organizations and the eyer vigilant CGPU, or secret police have been unable to find the slight est taint of ter-revolutionary sentiment among these boys and girls
 They have been reared in soviet ism and know nothing that is good about rnonarchistic times and ideals Consequently they are coming to be looked upon as the back-bone of the new nation.
 In addition to the coal mines and decks, m m bers of the Youth League have been asked to fill in on various ether jobs. Already somo 5O,0O0 young workers have gone to the timber camps of the north and TOGO have been placed in the sbig tractor plant at Stalingrad. The gold mines in the Urals have also been reinforced.
 Girls form about 20 per cent of the league membership, but they make up in enthusiasm what they lack in numbers as compared with young men. Their part in the vol unteer work campaign has been the taking over of many jobs in fac tories, thus releasing ablebodied men for harder places and reliev- ing the pressure to a considerable extent.
 Members of the "comsomols' must be between 1A and 23 years of age and must be sons CT daughters of prcletarlaa parents. Children Of clergymen, traders, "kulaks' (ln- dependent farmers) and of the for ner aristocracy are not admitted to the organization. N
