the Government from private enter

Mr.. Durham said the organization
now being formed, and as yet unnamed,
would cooperate with the efforts Of
Charles A. Wilson of Chicago and
others. but had no connection with the
Wilson group.
Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania,
United States Senator Couzens of
Michigan and William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor"
he said, will participate in our effort.
We believe that what We will suggest to
Congress would materially assist in re-
lieving the business depression.
. The copper, oil and lumber inter-
ests also will advance proposals for aid
to the workers in their industries
which IL adopted should markedly slim
ulate business. A group CT brewers will
participate in the conference and offer
proposals for congressional legalization
of manufacture and sale of modified
spurious beverages.
Our organization will be Nation
wide"

TELLS OF PROGRAM
Labor and Capital Closer
Than at Any Time in
SO Years, He Says.
Oy the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, September Labor day
of the golden jubilee year Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor find labor and
capital in closer accord than at any
time in its fifty years existence. ac-
cording to George w. Perkins, one of
the few organizers Of the federation
still living.
Perkins, now rs years old. voluntarily
retired as international president OF the
cigar makers union after IS years in
that Office. He has been throughout
his career a close associate OF the
late Samuel Gompers.
Took Economic Course.
In 1881, when the federation was
founded in Pittsburgh, Pa, its course
was set on economic rather than politi-
cal action. Despite the urging Of
Red Revolutionary Labor Party, the
knights of Labor and later the Social
ist Labor Party. the federation held
true to its first counsel, advocating only
shorter working hours and better
wages.
Perkins recalled that wages in 1881
were meager, with skilled workers in
building JraQeS getting only SID per
day. Hours were proportionately long
before the federation's eight-four day
program was generally adopted.
Now" the veteran labor leader said,
"the intelligent portion of business has
come over to labor's side. They are
advocating the high wage as the real
foundation of American prosperity.
Started With $4,000.
From It's original $4,000 membership
In 1881, the federation has increased
TO its present strength of more than
100000.
I'm 1881" said Perkins, there was
no precedent for the American labor
movement to follow. The leaders were
generally foreign born. Gompers, whom
] first knew in 1880, was a native of
England.
The best of the foreign born workers
soon found that political freedom, which
was the object of European labor move
ments, was already in the possession OF
American labor. What we needed was
economic freedom. Gompers and we
who were associated with him took that
road. The radicals followed the by
paths of political action to their virtual
extinction
Perkins still is active in the o-gani-
Zation and will attend its convention
at Vancouver, British Columbia. next
month. He is president of the fedora
ton's Union Label Department.

the past year, this camp has felt the widespread industrial depression more than any other in Alaska and stands probably in far greater need of unem- ployment relief than any of the Alaska towns included in the bill now before Congress.
 With most of our mine devel- opment activities at a stand still owing to the low price of silver, copper and lead, our sole productive resources, and with mine development funds almost impossible to obtain as a result of the great depress- ion, this district is facing a far worse outlook than any other section of Alaska. For this reason it is in far greater need of governmental relief than any of the towns mentioned in

RENAHAN SEARCH
 MAY CENTER HERE

The finding of two airplane wheels from the plane piloted by Robin Renehan near ketchi- kan during the past ten days has provided the only tangible clue so far discovered as to the possible fate of the plane bearing Pilot Robin Renehan, Frank Hatcher and Sam Clerf which disappeared mysterious ly October 28 near Prince Rupert. One wheel was found on the beach of Annette Is- and, the other near Point Dav- idson, 15 miles south of Ketehi- kan. It is believed, however, that the wheels were thrown overheard by Renehan to tighten his ship, as no wreck age of the plane has been found in the same area.
 Pilot Anscel Eckman, oper- ating from Prince Rupert, has been searching the country north and east of that point during the past week in the hope that Renehan might have left the coast and landed somewhere in the interior. Eckman flew over Hyder and Tuesday afternoon but did not land. Late reports from Prince Rupert say he may make Stewart his base for Q continuation of the search from here.

Mines in Alaska are esti- mated to have produced min erals to the value of $13,602,- : 900 in 1880 as against $16,- 066,000 in 1929, according to a statement issued by the Alaska branch of the geologi- cal survey. The total value of the mineral output of Alaska since 1880 is approximately $629,000,000. The figures for 1930, which are preliminary estimates and consequently subject to revision, are taken from the Geological Surveys annual report on the mineral resources of Alaska. The source of this mineral wealth was approximately as follows:

Strange Mammal Found Near
 Canada is Pike Whale

The Smithsonian Institute has identified the mammal skeleton found several weeks ago on Glacier Island, mean Valdez as that of a pike whale, according to an announcement made by Regional Forester Charles H. F'lory. It was be- lieved that it might be some kind of a prehistoric creature, but photographs submitted to scientists revealed it belonged to the whale family, although it's exact type was not dis closed until the pictures were submitted to the Smithsonian experts.
 It is a rare speciman of the pike whale and of undoubted value in the scientific world: Under instructions from the Smithsonian Institution it will be shipped to the United States National Museum at Washington, D. c. where it will be preserved.
 District Forest Supervisor w. J. Mcdonald, of Cordova, will go to Glacier Island and get the skeleton, taking it to Cor dova to prepare it for ship ment. east, Mr. Flory said, in- structions for proper removal and packing for shipment have been forwarded to him.
