GRAND
JURY VANISHES'
Police Graft Covered
Up as Usual

DETROIT, Oct. 21.-Everybody
in Detroit is wondering what has
happened to the Grand Jury, which
is supposed to investigate the Buck
ley murder and the crime wave.
The proceedings and investiga-
tons of this Grand Jury were as
usual behind closed doors. 1t was,
however, known, by the testimonies
of the different kidnapping gangs,
that the police were directly in
volved in the kidnapping rackets in
Detroit, and openly protected the
gangsters. But for the last few
weeks, we hear nothing from the
Grand Jury. And it looks like the
Grand Jury disappeared" entirely,
or in few weeks when the whole
thing will quiet down, they will
issue a statement that everything is
alright as far as the "honest, in
telligent and brave" police are con-
cerned, as Murphy called them be-
fore the elections.
In order to fool the workers,
Murphy made a statement that he
will wait with his proposed changes
in the Police Department until the
Grand Jury will be through with
the investigation.
The old Police Commissioner of
the Bowles administration remains
in office, and the police, as in the
past, are arresting and beating up
workers, killing Negro workers,
handcuffed, and falling unemployed
workers and charging them with
vagrancy, just as it was doing dur
ing the Bowles administration.
Murphy's fake promises even as far
as free speech is concerned, have
convinced the workers that the
famous demagogue is only phrase
monger and serves in the interest
of the auto magnates & Co.

Production in
Detroit Declines

DETROIT, Oct. 22.-Director of
the United States Unemployment
Service, P. Powers has in an Off
cial statement admitted that during
the last 80 days production has
slightly" decreased. Speaking about
the industries in Detroit, he was
compelled to admit that all the in
dustries are working now on part
time basis. Here are his own
words: In manufacturing plant acti-
witty continued on a restricted pro-
duction basis, and part time employ
ment remained quite general in vir-
tually all industries.
Murphy promised after a confer
ence with Edsel Ford, the Fisher
Bros, and other auto magnates, to
supply work in the auto industries
for thousands of jobless men in this
city. Of course, no one took him
seriously with this statement.

MURPHY REFUSES
TO SEE JOBLESS
Workers to Voice Re-
sentiment, Oct. "a

DETROIT, Oct. 22.-Many work
ers who voted for Murphy had the
illusion that Murphy would really
do something for the unemployed
workers. Especially when during
the election campaign he made all
kinds of promises that he would
always be ready to listen to the
problems of the unemployed work
ers and help them as much as pos
sible.
For the first few weeks, many
jobless and hungry workers went to
his office to let the mayor know
about the miserable life they were
living and demanded concrete help.
The first week, his secretary lis
tened to all these problems, and
with fake promises tried to quiet
the workers seething with resent
ment. But as it looks, the honey
moon is passed. The other day the
mayor made a statement that he
does not want to be bothered with
hard luck stories, and that no one
will be admitted to the mayors of
flee with these "small and little
things.
These small and little" things
mean life or death to 100000 job
less workers in the city of Detroit
Of course, Mayor Murphy has much
bigger things to accomplish in serv-
ing the interests of the auto bosses
in the city of Detroit. The unem-
ployed workers are talking very
much about this statement of the
mayors, and re beginning to see
things in a true light. The demo-
stration, on Friday, October oath
will voice their protests against
these fake promises, and the pro.
tests of those workers in Crane
Circus Park at IL noon will demon
strate and show readiness for strug.
gle for immediate relief.

NEW YORK-With the union

from $3.50 to SO dozen, the Off
GERS and a committee elected from

GERS of big firm, Manson Hat Co.
The bosses demanded cut to SITS
which the officers did not dare to
accept. The danger of the wage cut
still persists, however, and the Rank

formed last June during the strike,
calls all hatters to a mass meeting
at Astoria Hall, 81 East Fourth St.,

it would probably be harder, as the

that the fire was incendiary in origin. but could name no one who might have felt he had cause to destroy the cannery.
 He said he had investigated the ground around the building and found footprints in the snow which he cound not account for.
 Water Main Tempered With
 He told F ederal officers this morning that the water main had been tempered with recently with the result that it had been frozen During the first cold spell of the winter, few weeks ago, Capt. Geddes said he had turned the water off and took the plugs out, draining the big wooden pipe. Last Sunday he went out to turn the water in the pipe again and found someone had already done it. The plugs had been put back in and the main was full of ice.
 He was certain that neither he nor Lee had done this, and was at a loss to account for it being done by anyone else. The frozen main made it impossible to use that source for fighting the fire.
 There had been no outside boats at the plant for sometime, he said. The prevailing north wind had kept all small vessels out of the barbor.
 Owned by Caro-
 The old cannery plant is owned by J. B. Caro, local business man. He purchased it about three months ago from Seattle bank and Capt. Geddes was doing some repair work around the place. MT. Caro is now in San Francisco on business. He was notified today of the fire. Capt. GeddeS said it was hardly likely that the messhouse will be rebuilt at present as there are plenty of buildings at the plant for all necessary purposes.
 The building was erected Al years ago by the late John L. Carlson. It has not been in use since the cannery closed down sev- eral years ago.

FIRE DESTROYS
 AUX BAY STORE AND MESSH0USE
Three-Story Building Burn ed Down Today-Loss
 Is Put at $l2,000

The three-story wooden frame nesshouse and store building at the old John L. Carlson Cannery al Aux Bay was destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The building and contents were total loss, amounting to about $12,000 without covering insurance, it was made known by Capt. Clarence Geddes, who is in charge of the plant.
 The cause of the fire is unknown. IL originated on the first floor about l a. m. and spread so rap idly that William Lee, watchman, sleeping on the second floor, was unable to save his personal effects.
 Threatens Entire Plant
 With high wind blowing from the direction of Mendenhall Glac- fer. the entire plant was endanger- ed. Capt. Geddes who resides on the hill a short distance from the cannery, and Lee succeeded in ex- tinguishing blazes that started on the roof of the big cannery build ing several times. The gasboat Pacific, moored at he dock, also caught afire. The flames were put cut and the boat moved to a safer spot. Its pumps were used to get water on the cannery.
 The big water main was frozen solid and no water was available from that source. Mrs. Geddes came to town for aid, and William and Warren Geddes and H. K. Brown and son Harold responded. By the time they reached the place. the messhouse was in ruins.
 Origin Is Mystery
 Capt. Geddes was mystified by the fire. He was certain that there had been no fire in the en- tire building for two weeks, and there had been no chance for a fire to have been used on the first | floor where the flames broke out, | The building was too far away from any other occupied house on the bay for sparks to have been the cause.

CONDITIONS AT CH|TINA VERY
 BAD, IS CLAIM
Indians Face Hard Winter Trapping Failure, Says
 Klawock Man

Conditions m ong the Indian
 population in the Chitina region
 are bad, according to Frank Per
 atovich, Mayor of Klawock, who
 returned here recently from a trip
 there. There was little work avail
 able for them last season and trap i ping this winter has so far been
 almost total failure.
 The great need of the district is i a source of steady employment at
 least during the summer months, MT Peratovich said. This in the past has been lacking.
 He has hopes. however, that the situation can be remedied. He conferred with perrin endent Shepard of the Alaska Road Com mission relative to using an Indian crew on roadwork and found him willing to corporate if the Indians would do their part He is now working out program which, he expects, will provide labor for all of the Indians at Chitina who are willing to work.
 At Chitina, MT. Peratovich call ed on Mrs. Agnes Fletcher, former ly nurse in the Juneau Government Hospital, and later at Sitka and Klawock in the same capacity. She is now the nurse at Chitina.
 NGrc of aI se. several handicaps, he said The people to whom she is ministering are scattered over a wide area and she has to walk long distances to keep in touch with them. Her av- craze daily round of visits covers about 10 miles.
 There is but one school with single teacher, and Mrs. Fletcher as nurse, for the Indian popula- tion over a radius of some 50 miles. The population is widely scattered and this makes their work doubly difficult, MT. Peratovich said. He believes that the situation could i be bettered some if the school, i which is two miles out of the | town of Chitina, were moved into i the town itself. A second school ! would improve conditions greatly, he said.
 While at Chitina, MT. Peratovich, ! who is active in the Alaska Ma ] tive Brotherhod, called a meeting of the Indians and urged them to with the Southeast Alaska He pointed out some of the benefits to be received from such action and suggested that they send delegates to the next annual convention to be held at Ketchikan next fall.
