Gas Co. Refuses Own
Check From Worker

Fred Brockenauer of 2476 Eighth
Ave. received a check several days
ago from the Consolidated Gas Co. as
the return of his deposit No. 1916.
He offered this check to the gas COL
lector at his new address 2476 Eighth
Ave, but the collector refused to &C
cept checks. The company would not
accept its own checks in payment for
bill due them.
This worker then took the check to
the National City Bank where they
refused to cash it and told him to go
to his own bank. The worker has no
bank account. Because of the petty
persecution of the bosses the check
has cost him a lot of trouble already.

port from the committee of Is elected

decision of the unemployed pocket
book workers presented to Barnet
Wolf, manager of the International
Workers Union a resolution demand
ing among other things that the
union Immediately start paying I'M
employment insurance from the I'M
employment insurance fund. Fur
ther that the unemployed insurance
fund be controlled by the unemployed

It was also demanded that all the
administration expenses should be
cut 50 per cent and the wages of
officials which today is $500 and
S125.00 per week be cut to the aver
age wage of the trade and that the
sum total of this saving be used for

Owing to the low prices being of fered for blue-fox furS and other furs in general this year again, Capt. Pete Sather, of the MS Rolph, now in port, announces that he will not pelt many of his foxes at the Sather Nuka Fox Island this season.
 Capt. Sather had intended to take a couple of extra men along with him to help in the trapping of the blue foxes, but decided against this when he received fur quotations, announcing further price declines. He has decided that he will curtail pelting somewhat this year and await better market prices.
 Whatever pelting is done this year he will be able to take care of with the help he has on the island and himself.

 By the use of substances derived from certain glands animals some surprising developments have been pro duced Through special feeding, mice have been made to grow to twice their normal size Salamanders rats ana dogs have been greatly increased n slze and Ill some l- stances human dwarfs have shown marked growth under treatment with "hormones from thyroid or pituitary glands of oxen and sheep.
 Undersized humans of the future may not have to go through life 'nts if Dr. Riddle believes the hor- treatment shall be successfully developed Much farther experimenting will be necessary however before such treatment becomes available for general use.
