Donald Mcdonald Says h. ternational Road Will
 Be Built Soon

Donald Macdonald, father of the, Pacific International Highway spent New Years in Juneau. From his headquarters in Fairbanks. he is on his way to Seattle to undergo surgical operation. He expects to be able to resume his duties in a few months. While here he has been enjoying a visit with his daughter, Miss Helen Macdonald, schoolteacher at Douglas.
 Mir. Macdonald is a veteran Il Alaskan. He was in the engineering department of the Alaska Railroad during it's construction days and for several years afterwards. Soon after leaving the railroads service, he became associated with the Alas ka Road Commission, with which he is still connected.
 '"There is virtually no opposition to the International Highway prof ect," said MT Macdonald. "Neith- CT it's practicability nor it's desir- ability is questioned. Only the matter of finance is involved. This will soon be adjusted. The highway will be an accomplished fact in a few years. It will make Alaska the summer playground of the world and a winter recreation area, too. surpassing in beauty and amuse- ment the wonders and pleasures of Switzerland.
 eOf course the highway has util- ity possibilities as means for the vehicular transport Of freight and passengers that recommend it as a factor of first importance in the further development of the terri tory"
 Mr. Macdonald will sail south on the Motorship Northland tomorrow morning.

Fight is Against Labor

quarreling with the union, that they
only want to have somebody at the
head Of the union whom they can deal
with. 1t is very plain to be seen that
this fight is not with me, but that il
is against organized labor of the city
of Chicago. In attempting to place
somebody of their own choosing al
the head of this organization so that
they can do business with him, they
are trying to put themselves in a posi-
tion to spend large sums of money
to their own advantage and liking.

HUNDRED HURT
AS COMMUNISTS
ATTACK MINERS
District President p. T. Fa.

Seek to Break Up Meeting

Canonsburg, Pa. tILNS)-Commu-
nists again demonstrated their bitter
hatred of the legitimate labor move
ment by storming and attempting to
break up a meeting of the United
Mine Workers of America at the
Curry baseball field here. More than
100 persons were injured, five severe

nists was resisted.
Among those hurt in 20 minutes of
fighting with chairs, bottles and
stones was P. T. Pagan, president of

By C. S. GARRISON

Indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS) - The
tide of organization in the ranks OF
the United Mine Workers, which has
been at ebb for long time, seems
to be coming in, according to reports
from various mine fields of the btu
minous region.
Despite the refusal of certain oper-
ators to agree to calling of a gen.
eral conference to find solution to
the ills that seem to be eating the
industry, organizing work among the
miners is going forward and with en-
thusiasm.
1t was agreed among factors in coal
production that the industry is sick
and is getting no better fast. Officers
of the United Mine Workers, of
course, have decided interest in the
coal industry, representing several
hundred thousand persons dependent
on it for life itself. They wished a
general conference of operators
miners and the public to devise some
sort of method to put the industry
on it's feet. The declination by oper-
ators, called by Secretary Lamont, to
participate in such a meeting, while
not final as far as the industry is con-
cerned, shows, mine officials say, that
operators-some of them are con-
tent to go on in the old dog-eat-dog
method of competition and the devil
take the hindermost.
Operators Offer No Remedy
Incidentally it might be mentioned
that the operators offer no remedy
themselves and apparently are not
willing to accept suggestions from
other sources.
Thus the coal industry is left hang.
ing and with no net under it. The
miners have sincere-if selfish-de,
sire to see the coal industry put or
an even keel. Mining coal is THEN
bread and butter, and if they get nc
work they starve.
1t is this sentiment that has start.

Power Corporation Gave
Graft With Lavish Hand
Farmer-Labor Group in Canadian Parliament Forces
Astounding Revelations of Millions of Dollars Given
to Politicians by st. Lawrence River Concession
Holders.

Ottawa (ILNS).-Scandalous reve-
lations of contributions of about
ST 100000 to political party funds, of
rake-offs of several millions to Sem
ators, ministers and others, and re-
tainers of nearly half a million to
20-odd law firms has given a black
eye to private development of power
resources.
Before the parliamentary commit
tee, investigating charges of the
farmer-labor group, President R. O..
Sweezy and Secretary Treasurer
H. B. Griffths, of the Beauharnois
Power Corporation testified to giving
$800,000 to the liberal party through
Senators Hayden and Raymond. 1t
had been proposed that they give
100000 to the federal conservative
party, but this fell down. The pro-
vincial conservative of Quebec, led by
Mayor Houde, of Montreal, however,
got $4,000.
Lid Finally Forced Off
The farmer-labor group forced off
the lid in the interest of their public
ownership of public utilities cam
paign 1t is not news that the old
parties .raded special privileges for
campaign funds, but by mutual con-
sent attempts to throw in light were
mostly sidetracked in the past.
Sweezey gave s120,000 to John
Arid, Jr., son of Sir John Aird, pres
ident of the Canadian Bank of Com
merce, thinking it was going to the
Ontario conservative party and would
help him get contract for power
from the Ontario Hydro Electric Com
mission. Arid admitted he had
pocketed the $12O,000 without doing
anything to even try to earn it. He
thought a corporation planning to
spend $70,00O,000 would not miss a
small amount. Senator w. L. Mac

LABOR'S WAR
On Dry Act Gains National
Headway

Washington, D. c. QLNS)-With
live cooperation in almost all Sec

in the national membership campaign

modification of the Volstead act, it
was announced at national headquar-

Local committees of the organiza-

building the local committees into
labor councils, metal trades councils
and other local bodies are backing
up the campaign and in many cases
special committees have been appoint
ed to assist in the work of organi-
zation.
A plan to offer opportunity for CO.
operation to the entire trade union
press has been developed and an ex-
planation of the details will go for
ward to trade union editors this week.
