 The agricultural population is growing slowly, few farmers be- ing added each year. They, are gradually turning to dairying from which they are receiving substan- tial returns and a good demand exists for all their products. A survey made a year ago showed a sale of 5000 pounds of butter in the district which was supplied locally and 100000 pounds were imported.
 Have Protective Tariff
 The interior dairymen have what is an effective protective tariff that shuts out competition from the States. This is in the freight rates. The Panama and Matanuska dairies receive the Seattle price plus the freight differential for their products, he said.

In 1916, said Dr. Alberts, Dr. Georgeson crossed the native wild crabapple with the cultivated apple and planted the seeds at Sitka. One tree survived and thrived.
 Last year it had numerous blos- sons. This year it bore a heavy crop of fruit. It had qualities of both it's parents. It was shaped like the crab and like it grew in clusters, and was about 10 times the crabapple in size. It was tart and very suitable for jelly.
 The Sitka station will produce more of the plants and distribute them during the next four or five years throughout the district. It will also continue its investigations of horticultural problems and those incident to vegetable gorwing.
 Growth of Industry
 The interior agricultural industry is developing slowly but surely, particularly in the Alaska Railroad belt, and in not great many years will be a material factor in the Tarritory's welfare, Dr. Alberts told the Chamber. There are now about 100 homesteaders in the Panama and Matanuska valleys

OAKLAND, CaL-Oakland Hotel "a
high-class establishment couldn't
meet payments-or so it was reported.
A cry was raised through the local
press about Oakland's pride. Imrne-
diately the Cream" of society rallied
with donations and the Chamber Of
Commerce took it over as their
special charge.
With this the first sufferers were
naturally according to Hooverian
Standard the workers. Employees
received a wage-cut. Men walters
laid off and now the girls are hired
for special dinners at S1.50 for four
hours work What the cut of the
other employees is I cannot say def
initely.
Before the workers received union

non-union establishment
Does the Cooks, Walters and Wait
resses Local 81 put this place on the
unfair list now? (Of course this is
the only method used by the union
to fight" for union wages.) Of
course not. The Chamber of Com
merce could not be so embarrassed.
Only smaller places and those not
meaning much are occasionally put
on the unfair list and a dummy
placed with q paper printed Unfair"
in front. But this method cannot
be used against the Hotel Oakland.
Oh, no, not a word said about it by
the officials-and further that is the

when they are in Oakland, just as
today the U. S. mail carriers, Or
gained into the National A-socia-

ference in Oakland, are patronizing

Such hypocrisy this and other A.
F. of L. locals perpetrate. This
should be exposed Workers pay
dues and officials play us up with
making believe they fight for union
izing non-union houses.
1t is time we workers would take
a hold of things ourselves. If we
are capable Of doing the work in the
culinary trade, we can be capable of
fighting for our rights. We must tell
the high-paid officials what we want
done. They should cater to our
wishes and not have us do their
bidding. Let's hear more about this.

with an organizing campaign.
The unemployed n1sases are rally
ing in many parts of the city and
thru the Unemployed Council have

The Council held mass demon
stration at the charity flophouses,
and demanded:
1. That beds be installed instead
of benches.
Q. That more and better food be
issued.
3. That the overhead be greatly
reduced or abolished
Organized charity officials who
draw fat salaries, are trying to tell
workers committees that 1t is not
necessary for them to bring acute
cases up to their office for relief. 1t
is clear to the workers that this is
only an attempt to make them less
militant and is a roundabout way of
telling the workers that what is be-
ing done with community funds by
organized charity is none of the
workers business.

GARRETT, Ky.-The scales of the
Standard Elkhorn Coal Co we're
blown up last week. After inter-
viewing a few workers, find that
the only loss lies in the destruction
Of the weigh house, ETC., as the scales
were hardly ever used, even though
the mine runs very steadily and
thousands of tons of coal are dumped
monthly.
This mine struck not long ago for
miners checkweighman, but being
unorganized and having no relief the
strike went flat. The miners were
sure OF their demands if there had
been any relief, as the county Off
tcials told them in this instance they
we're right. The people of Floyd
County can rest assured that today
there is hardly government official
In capitalist America that will aid
them in the least-and that the only
way out is through the powerful
combination of the Trade Union
Unity League and their industrial
unions. Get linked with the Ma
tional Miners Union and organize

STEUBENVILLE, O.-The guagers

Wheeling Steel mill here used to get
paid 6712 cents an hour when work
ing hours, and so cents when work
ing ten hours. First they cut us from
10 to hours with the 10-hour pay
that is, to 60 cents an hour on 8
hours (this was August 23) and now
we learn that we have been working
since the first of September at an
other 10 per cent. cut, down to 81
cents an hour-eight hours work.
The company has taken off the
butt-catcher and left the guager do
two mems work, and also taken off
the scrap-hole man and left the
greaser to do two mems work They
took off the steel-makers from each
turn, put the bosses in the mill re-
corders' place, put the mill record
ers' in the tally-boys place, and put
the tally boys in the steel makers
place.
On the S5-inch blooming mill they
took the manipulation off and put
turn-foreman in his place. They
fired the crop-shearman, putting the
Fisherman in his place, replacing
the slab-shearman with new man
getting less money. The result of the
general switching around is further
reduced wages for several of the men,
and extra work for several with the
scrap holeman and the buttcatcher
gone.
Some Of the men in our mill whom
I talked to before this cut shrugged
their shoulders. Now they are anxi-
Gus to learn more about the Metal

him He proceeds to weed out the
number he has been instructed to
drop through the medium of mark
ing their efficiency rating below the
required minimum, which automati-
cally release them to join the over
crowded army Of unemployment.
I discovered this unique process Of
firing the government workers at
recent meeting of the Disabled Vet
Grams. The chairman of the meeting,
Mr.. Babcock of the U. S. Civil Serv-
ice, outlined the above in explaining
to the disabled veterans why some of
them had been fired from their jobs.
OF course Mr.. Babcock did not say
that the Hoover administration
was doing this in order to reduce the
amount of employees. The forces are
being reduced however. The Hoover
