DETROIT, Neutrality-suspicious. are
now in full swing to stage the biggest
demonstration on May First the city
ever saw. Ninety-three working class
organizations have already been lined
up, many more are expected to send
delegates to the April 10 May First
United Front Conference. In many
organizations May First Committees
have been set up to make prepara-
tons for May Day.
The original plans for the May
Day demonstration were to march
from the Workers Home on E. Ferry
and Russell, with banners and brass
bands, to Grand Circus Park, where
the demonstration was to be held. AS
customary. q permit was requested
from the police commissioner. The
police commissioner replied that he
had nothing to do with issuing per-
mits and referred the committee that
came to see him to the city hall. The
matter was taken up with the mayors
secretary. another conference was
held with the police commissioner.
This time the police commissioned
came out quite openly against grant,
ing a permit for the Grand Circus
Park, instead he offered CaSs Park,
which is out of the way. He stated
quite openly that the businessmen
around Grand Circus Park object to
Communist demonstrations in the
park, and his duty is, of course, to
please the businessmen and keep the
workers out of the park.
His offer was turned down, the
committee told him that the demon
stration would be held in the Grand

HOWAT SESSION
fash Hurls Program of
Struggle Into Melee

ST. LOUIS. Mo, April 17.-Joe
fash seized the floor at the Howat
National Convention of the Reorgan-
lied United Mine Workers OF Ameri-
ca" here yesterday, and to the delight
of miners in this vicinity, threw into
the confused, chaotic and jangling
convention" the clear cut program
of the National Miners Union. fash
exposed Lewis and Fishwick, as enc
mics of the coal miners and mere
agents of the operators, and tore the
mask off Howat, who is the leader of
t convention. fash showed that
Howat is only disappointed faker
eager to sell out, guilty of many
treacheries in the past, and with no
program for the miners. He called
on the miners to organize united front
rank and file committees of struggle,
on the basis of the immediate griev-
ances in the mines, and urged them
to clean out all connected with the
Lewis, Fishwick and harrington
cliques. He urged that a rank and
file committee run the convention and
establish a united front with the Ma
tional Miners Union.
Only 90.
The official credentials committee
report of this convention" shows only
96 delegates, representing So locals
and groups. Many of the delegates
are really handpicked Howat hench-
men, representing nobody. A fight
took place over the attempt to seat
William Daeck, petty leader from
southern Illinois, as delegate from
West Virginia" In spite of Frank
Kenney's promise to send rs delegates
from West Virginia, there are not
enough here to make a showing. The
Howat group showed Daeck in by a
vote of 63 to II.
Vinegar, Indiana delegate, spoke,
attacking Howat's speech and his al
lance, and supporting the National
Miners Union proposals for rank and
file committees, and united front
of the miners themselves through
their own committees with the Ma
tional Miners Union. Howat spoke
again, attacking the N. M. U. and try
ing to evade and squirm out of the
charges flung at him.
The Trotzkyites issued a statement
mildly criticizing Howat and Music,
who is present, and making no at
tack on the Howat program or be-
trayals. The Trotzkyites favor the
founding of new union at this con-
vention.
Jerry Allard, Trotzkyite, represent
ing nonresident local, made DEM
agogic speech partly for Howat and
partly for the N. M. U.
The discussion is continuing, many
delegates opposing the new union
idea. Confusion and vacillation
characterize the gathering.

dpred during 1880 some lead, marble, limestone, tin, uicksilver, and plat. mum. The aggregate value of the output of these minerals in 1880, to- gether with that of petroleum, is es-- timated to have been $341,000. Most of the lead was obtained as by-pro- duct from the gold ore of the Alaska Juneau mine. The output of marble in 1880 came, as heretofore, entirely from the quarries of the Vermont Marble Company, near the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, in South eastern Alaska. The mining of cer- tain limestone deposits on Dall island in Southeastern Alaska by the Pacific Coast Cement Company as a source of one of the constituents of tits sce- ment was successfully, continued throughout the year. The raw. ma terial after preliminary crushing is. shipped to the company's main plant near Seattle. The tin ore was de- rived principally from placers neal: Tin City, in Seward Peninsula, but small amounts were recovered from placers in the Hot Springs district of the Yukon-Tana region. Prospect ing for tin ore near Big creek, in the Ruby district, was continued: but no recent details regarding the results of the search are available. The plat mum metals came principally from placers in the Goodnews Bay district, at the mouth of the Kuskokwim river, and small amounts from the eastern part of Seward Peninsula. The finds in the Goodnews Bay district contine to be encouraging, but not. such as to
 justify any rush of prospectors.

 this field on essentially, the, same scale as heretofore.,
 A revival of interest, in the devel- pment of the oil fields near Katalla and Yakataga. was shown by reports that several companies were making preparations for active drilling in these regions and some were actually shipping in the necessary equipment. In addition. to we'll justiled attempts to extend the area of well known oil lands in this part of Alaska there ap- pears to have been considerable spec ulative promotion whereby individ- uals have been, induced to pay many thousands of dollars for. services in obtaining oil holdings that could have been obtained directly from the Government at a nominal charge, In their initial stages it,,is difficult to distinguish between the worthwhile and the, fraudulent promotion schemes. so that actual performance in the field must be watched closely before decidin ginto which class any individual project falls. That there is some oil in, this region is clearly proved by the producing wells near Katalla and by theynumerous seep- ayes at many points between Katalla and Yakataga, but whether it occurs under such conditions as will make a commercial field must await the evil dence furnished by the drill.
 Drilling for oil in the region west of Chickaloon was continued by the Peterson Oil l,Association. Much time was lost because of the necessity of extracting or avoiding topl that had become broken off in the well. Drill-t ing ceased earyl in the fall, but the operators report that they will re- sume work there nert spring. No search for oil by drilling is reported to have been in progress in any of the other parts of Alaska that are believed to hold promise of being oil- bearing, such as the Alaska Penin- sula or the naval petroleum reserve in Northern Alaska.

$244 in Assets.

The second century of the buildins

ton in Philadelphia.

VIII De the serious work of the conven-
ton along with the formal celebration
OF the nrst hundred years of building

hoitoy Myers, Los Angeles, president OF
the league. Eight million homes were
financed by these associations in their
nrst century, he reports.
Representatives of the banking in
dustry, Of the Nations politics, of fields
OF economic research and 5000 home
fnanciers will be present when the
$4,000 200, 600 building and loan bust
ness is given formal start on its sec
ond hundred years.
Initial Assets Were S244.
"The first century of the building and
loan was likewise launched in the en-
virons Of Philadelphia, in the suburb of
Frankford, which has since become a
part of the city proper" says Mr..
Myers. THE oxford Provtdent Build
ing Association of Philadelphia County,
the first building and loan organization,
was founded January 81, 1881.
Instead CT the spokesman of the
country's banking industry, legislative
leaders and scholars in economies, the
sponsors of building and loans first
step into the financial world were a
small town doctor, DR.. Henry Taylor a
country school teacher, Isaac Shallcross
q small town lawyer, Jesse Castor. and
a carriage matchmaker, Isaac White
lock. They had $244 in assets to start
the infant business.
I'm Philadelphia in August the bust
ness will start its second century with
more than $4,000, 000, 900. The homes
OF textile weavers, of a lamplighter and
of wage earners in tiny industries were
the consideration of building and loan
in its beginnings.

'@There were So shareholders a hun

Building and loan weathered sue

concerned with continuing the policies
which brought about this success. No

building and loan unable to pay its divi-
dendS.
1.-THE United States Leagues plans for
the next hundred years. to be discussed
at the convention, will dwell upon a
widespread program of fostering home
ownership, systematic savings and COM
