TWO CHRISTMAS PARTIES

In Danville, Va, two outstand- ing Christmas parties marked the recent holidays. One was for the stockholders in the big cot ton mills and the other was for he workers of those corporations The Riverside and the Dan River Cotton mills employ 4,OO0 textile workers. These men have been on strike for three months against wage cuts and for union recognition.
 The company gave it's stock holders a Christmas present in the form of their usual $250,000 semi-annual dividend.

FISHERMEN ASK SUPPORT

The halibut fishermen through their organization, the Fishing Vessel Owners Association has gone on record as opposing the ratification of the Fish Treaty with Canada which would give Canadian fishermen equal re- presentation with American fishermen. They are opposed to the idea of the commission tell ing them where, when and how they might fish. They feel that the closing of the season the first two weeks of November is 2 discrimination against Ameri- can fishermen which only means curtailment of production and a lesser earning power. The pow CT placed in the hands of this commission, it is further believ- I'd, is too autocratic and too broad and will thereby create situations in that industry as nave arisen in the salmon in dustry where one man is Lord of Ill Alaska.
 However, there is much to be aid on both sides. Curtailment of production there must be 2lse in another ten years many of these voicing objections now will have no opportunity to fish

APPLY THIS TO
 ALASKA SITUATION

A committee organized to all leviate unemployment in Wash ington, D. C., set forth in one paragraph a situation that should be studied in order to un- derstand the situation of the resident fishermen in Alaska. The paragraph follows:
 "The committee believes that it is not enough that wages and consumption standards shall keep pace with actual produc- tion but that standards of living shall keep pace with the capa- city of society to produce, so that production may not outrun purchasing power and thus create a system of mass under consumption where many are still inadequately housed, mean ly clothed and undernourished."

 Now the American canner is "I1it by Russ Competition" ac- cording to a Seattle paper and all of which means it will have its effect upon production ot salmon in Alaska. Says the story in the metropolitan paper: "The Seattle banker-canner points out that the Russian competi- tion in world markets had been felt most in selling pinkS and chums. The higher grade of reds have not been subjected to such sharp pressure as yet, he de- clares, but even in this field there has been a certain amount of competition which has cut in to the business formerly enjoyed by American producers.
 Tn time, the situation pro bably will adjust itself in one way or another. For the present we confront the fact that the American market is the only enc which we can depend on. Tc pile a big pack on top of the supply now existing, with cer- tainty that it would sell below production cost, would be de- cidedly poor business" So de- clares MT. Calvert of Seattle.

number 1926 were in South eastern Alaska, 7,776 in Central Alaska and 8,291 in Western Alaska.
 It is rather significant that of the persons employed in the Alaska fisheries 5,365 or IS per cent were Alaska natives. This figure pertains to Indians exclusively, and does not include the large percentage of Alaskan residents of other races who make their living from the fish cries.
 Of the total number of 29,283 engaged in the fisheries, salmon canning provides occupation for .24, 271.
 It might be interesting if the tabulator, of the above figures published in the Pacific Fisher man, would indicate what the per capita earnings of the na- tives was.

COOLIDGE ON BLOCS

Calvin Coolidge through na- tional newspaper syndicate says: "Control of Congress by various "blocs" is opposed to our system Cf representative government especially democratic "blocs." !" Some smart alec writers refer to the leader of a "bloc" as a bloc head" But such flippancy should be discouraged by sober-minded men. Iris naught but "the loud laueh that spake the vacant mind. (Oliver Goldsmith.) Coai
 tions of Democratic and Progress sive congressman are especially dangerous, because they threat en the supremacy of Republican leadership. This is an intOlerablc thought. But it cannot last. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Rolling stones gather no moss. There is only one cure for the situation. Get behind the best candidates.

But he was not thinking that.
The part of him conscious of the
act was working unknown TO the
faculties which made him move

prisOned within stone walls, and
around these walls they beat and
trampled themselves. always alike,
telling him the same things, until
their repetition became a droning

dead back there. His father was
dead. Indians with English hatch
cts had killed them, and he must

TOINETTE was alone when she

ness which had come TO ease the
anguish of her mind and body. 1t
seemed to her she was coming out
of sleep and that the walls which
dimly met her eyes were those of
her bedroom in the manor. That
q truth whose evidence lay so hor-
ribly about her could be reality
and not a dream broke on her
senses duly at first and then with
a swift understanding. She sat up
expecting to see Jeems. But he
was gone. She was no longer
where she had fallen at her
enemy's feet. But Jeems had
made a resting place for her of
empty bags and must have car
ried her to it. She shivered when
she looked at the musket and the
stain of blood on the floor. She
had tried to kill him. And he had
gone away-leaving her alivel
AS had happened to Jeems,
something was burned out of her
now. 1t had gone in the sea of
darkness which had swept over
her, and she rose with an unemo-
tional calmness, as if the tower
room with its dust and cobwebs
and store of ripened grain had be-
come her cloister. Passion had
worn itself away. If thought
could have slain, she would still
have wreaked her vengeance on
Jeems. but she would not have
touched the musket again that lay
on the floor.
She went to the head of the
stairs and looked down. The son
of the English woman had left no
sign except the drip of blood that
made a trail on the steps and out
of the door EXultatiOn possessed
her as she thought how nearly
she had brought to the Bulains
the same shadow of death which
they and their kind had brought
to her. The thrill was gone in a
moment. The red drops fascinated
her, painted brightly by the sun.

she dropped it. Then she snatched
weakly at the hatchet in Jeems'

about the helve. With a cry of
triumph, she raised it, but before
the blow could descend she sank
in crumpled heap upon the floor.
