 OR TOMO RRO W
Has $ Busy Day Treadwell Yukon Plane
 Goes to Carcross

In accordance with plans an- nounced yesterday, the seapla n e Petersburg is thought by Larry Parks, local representative of the Alaska Washington Airways, to have left Seattle today for Juneau, inasmuch as he has received no advices to the contrary. Possibly, the craft may reach here late this evening, but more likely it will stay at Ketchikan tonight and pro- ceed to this city tomorrow.
 The seaplane Sitka had busy day yesterday. In the forenoon it went to Hawk Inlet to bring Hans Floe, superintendent of the P. E.. Harris and Company cannery there, and his two children to Juneau. It then went to Rake to meet the seaplane Wrangell and to transfer to it E. Harry Freedman, vice president and general manager of the United States Alaska Packing Company, who was to be taken by the Wrangell to Port Herbert. On the flight to Rake the Sitka also had as passengers Grover c. Vim, attorney; Arthur Ficken, Talman Gross and Georgia White, all of whom returned here with the plane.
 New Pilot Comes Here
 The Sitka brought from Rake Clark Wing, who had come from Ketchikan on the Wrangell and who will serve as relief pilot here for the Alaska Washington Airways.
 On return to Juneau the Sitka, with MT. Floe and his children, went to Hawk Inlet. Last evening the seaplane went to Funter Bay to do patrol work for the Alaska Pacific Packing Company, and in coming back here it brought Mrs. Florence Holmquist.
 This morning with Pilot Wing and Mechanic Hatcher, the Sitka went to Funter Bay to pick up Gil bert w. Skinner, president of the Alaska Pacific Packing; Mrs. Skin ner, and Mrs. Frank Clancy. It took them to Rake, whence they were to be taken by the seaplane Wran- gell to Ketchikan.
 To Take Fishing Parties
 Late this afternoon and this evening the Sitka will take fishing parties to Lake Hasselberg. To- morrow, after patrol work for the Peril Straits Packing Company. it will again take out fishing parties.

This concern for many years has

opening up a new field of industrial
activity. There is no chemical reason
why dyestuffs should not be produced
out of the abundant supply of natural

BIG DECREASE IN
RAIL ACCIDENTS

Chicago (ILNS)-Commenting on
reports on railroad accidents for the
first six months of 1880, the National
Safety Council says that reduction
in accidents to employees is impress
i've. Fatalities declined per cent in
1926, held steady in 1927, and then
dropped off Is per cent in 1928. Dur
ing the first half of this year they
sank to 70 per cent of the 1929 fig
ure, although employment is reported
as decreasing only per cent.
Injuries of employees show an even
more remarkable record. The total
decrease from 1925 is sc per cent for
injuries and "a per cent for fatalities.
In the five-year period since 1926,
railroad deaths of persons other than
employees have declined 21 per cent
and injuries 25 per cent.
These data cover only the first six
months of each year but there is no
reason to believe that the totals for
1880 will not reveal an equally salts
factory record, the safety council
says.

GAIN SHOWN in
STORE SALES
By RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Sales
by department stores increased IL
cent in October by comparison with
September.
This is indicated by an announce
ment from the federal reserve board
which shows October sales We're 8
per cent below those of the same
month of 1929.
The boards sales index for Octo-
Der, 1929, is officially reported as 128
points on base in which 100 points
is represented by sales of the period
1923-25. An s per cent reduction
from October, 1929, would thus give
an index of 11S points for October,
this year. That compares with an in
dex of 80 points officially reported
by the board for September, this year.

new PAPER MONEY
NOT SATISFACTORY

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
new paper money, which was sharply
criticized by the International Plate
Printers and Die Stampers' Union
and other labor organizations when
it was first put into circulation in
July of 1929, is not proving satisfac-
tory, the treasury department finds.
Labor declared that the new money
was false economy on the part of the
government, and that it was far in
ferior from an artistic standpoint
compared to the old bills.
While the cost of circulating this
smaller size has been reduced approx
imately one-third as compared with
the larger-sized, old bills, the longev-
ity Of the new specie has proved dis
appointing, and the bureau of stand
ards is now seeking to perfect a
paper that will eliminate abrasions
and permit laundering, as well as bet
ter withstand crumbling folding.
The life of the new bills, investiga-
tions show, is about nine months for
the one dollar bills, from II to II
months for the fives, and proper
tionately longer for the higher de-
nominations. This is but slight i'm
provement over the old currency.

Green Asks Labor to Cooperate

A. F. of L. Head Calls Local Unions Throughout Ma

Other Committees Formed to Aid Jobless.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-In a
message to organized labor, President
William Green, of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, asks that trade
unions throughout the country CO.
operate with national, state and muni-
cipal committees formed to aid the
unemployed.
President Green asks that repre-
sentatives of organized labor volun-
teer their services on these commit
tees and expresses the belief that a
solution for unemployment can be
found "if all concerned are determin-
ed to master and control the economic
forces which make for unemploy-
ment"
After pointing out that the recent
Boston convention of the A. F. of L..
recommended that the president of
the United States appoint commit
tee to deal with unemployment and
called upon governors and mayors to
do likewise, Mr.. Green goes on to say:
"The president of the United States

What would Christ do if He came

ported that increased cooperation be-

and also between manufacturers and
operatives, is necessary if the indus

He contended the Sherman anti

some extent, prevented the necessary

He urged that the churches of the
