BY SARAH VICTOR.

one day toward the end Of Feb
luary a man entered the office of
the Daily Worker at the Party head
quarters, District 7, Detroit, Mich,
to get a paper and to have a chat
about daily events in the working
class movement.
The man came from Port Huron,
where he lives, and, considering him.
self a close sympathizer of the move
ment, he wondered why the Daily
Worker is not freely distributed
among the unemployed and among
the workers generally in Port Huron,
and finally offered financial help to
make start.
The man counted his money, SIS
in his possession. Well, he took off
81 for his immediate need and then
asked
"wiu s14 suffice to begin work
with?"
Yes, certainly, was the glad reply.
Arrangements were soon made. and
the first day of March the Daily
Worker agent of District 7, with the
help of Comrade U. and two Negro
comrades, were successful in dis
tributing 1000 copies of the Daily
Worker among the unemployed in
Port Huron. 1t proved that the
Port Huron workers were eager to
read the paper.
There are hundreds and thousands
of workers who slave in foundries
and other metal shops in the city of
Pert Huron. There are also many
foreign-born and Negro workers who
suffer from severe unemployment
conditions, without leadership and
with no one to enlighten them in
the working-class struggle they are
cropping in the dark, everyone for
himself, in his miserable hole. The
Daily Worker brought light and en-
couragement into their lives.
The comrades were accepted with
open arms by the workers in Port
Huron, and realizing the fertile field
to work upon decided at once that
Comrade U. should remain there to
carry on a daily sale of the Daily

You will be interested to know that
in Detroit things are turning for
the better. that is, for the better of
the workingmen's cause.

nurse walked in and began to ad-
dress a friend of hers, telling him
that she and 81 other nurses were
fired at the Henry Ford Hospital re-
Gently, Then the talk developed
until she, together with her friend,

they commented after I had finished

TAX REDUCTION
WILL CUT RENT,
REALTORS TOLD
Board Launches Campaign
to Arouse Support for
Lower Rates.

A tax reduction campaign to
arouse Indianans, whether or not
they own property, to express them
selves individually and through or
ganizations on taxation, was inau-
gurated Thursday at meeting Of
the indianapolis Real Estate Board
at the Washington hotel.
E. L. Cothrell introduced the reso-
luton, which charges that taxation
has contributed to the existing de-
preston, and that too large a part
Of the rentals paid on homes and
business properties is consumed by
taxes. 1t also points out that Ohio
is lowering taxes to make the state
and its cities more attractive to in
dustries, because of reduced produc-
ton costs.
Albert E. Uhl, president Of the
board, told the realtors it is a mis-
taken idea for rent paying tenants
to believe they are escaping tax
alton, for the landlord must set
aside out of the rent a definite por-
ton for taxes.
1t follows that If taxes are re-
duced, there will be rent reduc-
ton, Uhle declared.

Judge John w. Kern.
The court took this action, Judge
Kern explained, to prevent the light

Both townships claim taxes on
the property. A change in the
course of White river caused the
dispute, which is expected to be de-
cided in court this fall.

The Alaska Seal Herd.

Seattle TlmeS)
 Ward T. Bower chief of Alaskan fisheries points out that a count of the Pribilof seal herd last summer showed 1o451O1 animals an increase of 73,574 1929, 757 per cent. Last year 42,500 seal skins taken the largest take in forty-one years and the sale of skins brought in the sum of $667,745 gross. From that amount there de- auctions for dressing and dyeng the skins and for treaty payments of Is per cent to Japan and Great Britain. The net amount paid into the federal treasury during the year $273991
 During the years from 1918 to 1880, inclusive the profits of the industry aggregated $2680821 and they made in spite of heavy expenditures dur ing the latter years of that period for roads the replacement of all native dwellings with modern buildings mostly of concrete the erection of ware houses, shops barns and salt houses the latter to take care of the increasing number of seal skins Then, too $140000 of the profits went for new tender to take the place of the old one, which has been assigned to fisheries patrol work.
 There is annual charge against the Federal treasury of about $145 900 for the support of the 368 natives. On their account not only has modern housing been provided but schools hospital facili- ties and all other necessaries of life These people virtually wards of the Government. They do all the manual labor connected with the seal in- dustry, in return for which the Government takes of them and their families.
 There three school teachers, two St. Paul Island and one on St. George Island. In the latter school there is enrolment of about fifty. The unfamiliarity of the children with the English language necessitates a great deal of individual attention on the part of the teachers. The school term is practically long that in continental United States.
 Asked if education was compulsory, Mir Bowers said it was, but that there had been no need for compelling school attendance. The children are anxious to attend and learn rapidly once they have acquired the rudiments of English Hereafter there will be two teachers on each of the islands.

EXCHANGE TOURISTS WITH HAWAII.

Summer tourists in Alaska this year as in the past are enthusiastic the country. Alaska is the playground of the world declared George B Dryden Chicago rubber manufacturer and big game hunter He continued
 Alaska has everything, hunting, fishing, scenery, a kindly and hospitable people,
 MT. Dryden told the Chamber of Commerce the other day that he hunted for a season out of Atn, B. o. into Alaska "and that is the reason I came back"
 This sort of talk is familiar to Alaskans. We have heard it for years. It is talk, however, that We have not been as active as we might have been in circulating among habitual globe trotters and vacatonists into the out-of-the-way places
 And this suggests: We have listened all Sum mer for many, many to the enthusiastic praises for Alaska by people who travel Out in the middle of the Pacific, as Alaska it is to San Francisco is the other of the two great American Territories, and Hawaians continuously hear, particularly in the Fall, Winter and Spring, similar praises for their Territory and people. A recent Honolulu paper, under the heading, Most Romantic Port in the World" contained the fol- lowing:
 Where, believe it or not, whole ship
 load of tourists weep when they leave.
 There is more truth than poetry in this
 Hawaiian slogan, according to those who
 have witnessed the sailing of passenger
 liner from Honolulu considered by many to
 be the most romantic port in the world
 Now then, why not have literature describing the beauties and joys of Alaska travel circulated among these happy Hawaiian tourists as they leave for the Coast in the Springq Most of them are globe trotters who the go Summer and Win ter Why not let the world know that the best pos sble way to spend year is to come to Alaska in the Summer and go to Hawaii in the Winter?
 Alaska transportation companies are probably missing a bet by not advertising their wares at Waikiki Beach in the Winter and Spring Why not exchange tourists with sister Territory?

It is one product that is not vexed by competition or by market problems of any sort, and to that extent of fers the point of least residence to activity There is psychological interest also in the circumstance that greater gold production is regarded as world desideratum.
