GAME IN LOCAL FOREST AREAS
 NOT DECLINING
Estimates Show Abundant Alaska Game Animals
 Tn National Forests

Game resources in the Alaska national forests continues to hold its own against hunting and losses from other sources, it was indi- cated by figures recently issued from the United States Forest Ser vices headquarters in Washington and made public here today.
 These figures do not cover AL aska game animals in districts ly- ing without the boundaries of the National Forests.
 The Bureau estimates the number of grizzly, which includes the AL aska brown, bears in the forest area to be 2,800 out of total of 3,670, giving Alaska about 80 per cent of the aggregate for the en- tire country. This is believed to be a low figure, it was said at local Forest Service headquarters, and an effort will be made to get a more accurate check during the current season.
 Deer and moose are also believed to be underestimated and a re- vision of these figures will be un- dertaken this year. The number of moose is shown as being 580, and of deer, 91 $50.
 Mountain goats are estimated at 1O,3O0 which, it is said, is probably an over estimate. Black bear, and it's brown variation, are numbered at 5,750, which officials think may be somewhat low.

ers' international organization, be-
cause of enormous unemployment,
has been forced to stand on the side
lines as far as aiding in financing the
organizing work is concerned.
But the work has gone on spon-
taneously and without any particular
financial aid Scores of local unions
have been set up and the demand for
union recognition is spreading furi-
ously in those sections where injunc-
tions and lockouts had demoralized
the organization.
While the outcome in Pennsylvania
is not predicted, international union
officials are pleased at this spontane-
Gus outburst for organization. The
explanation is that the miners (for-
mer unionists) have reached the point
where they can no longer stand up
under conditions so long prevalent in
the soft coal industry of these states.

WORKERS SLOW UP
TO PROTECT JOBS
SURVEY REVEALS
Study Shows Practice of Re-
strictiOn Almost Univer-
sal Among UnOrganized
Workers Who Take That
Method to Keep From Be-
ing Penalized for Efforts.

New York City (ILNS)-Restric-
tion # output, so often charged
against union men, has been laid
squarely on the doorstep of the non
union worker, in report prepared by
the Personnel Research Federation,
financed by the Social Science Re-
search Council. The study on which
the report is based was confined en-
tirely to non-union manufacturing
plants.
The report makes it clear that un-
organized workers restrict output
with undoubted effectiveness, that re-
striction is general and that mainly
it results from the fear of workers
that if they work too rapidly they
will either reduce their piece rates or
"work themselves out of a job" in
some other manner.
Generally it was found that en-
ployers were ignorant of the extent
of restriction. In the very few cases
in which employers had pledged not
to cut rates under any circumstances
and had kept their work there was
less restriction, and consequently
greater output.
On 105 plants 223 cases of delib-
crate restriction of work were found
These plants were in AZ districts rep
resenting 25 classified industries and
IA miscellaneous industries.
1t is said that the inevitable con-
clusions of this survey are that re-
striction of output is almost universal
among unorganized workers and that
production is greatly cut down
thereby.
The report appears to make clear
that restriction can be overcome only
by union organization and the estab
lishment of definite agreements cover
ing terms of employment. Non-union
ism and restriction are pointed out as
partners of long standing and of
natural affinity.

Indianapolis NS)-Several thou
sand coal miners in the SCOTS Run
district of West Virginia, who had
been on strike for months against
intolerahle conditions and pauper
wages, have gone back to work under
union conditions and better wages.
Van A. Bittner, international repre-
sentative Of the United Mine Work

is making his field headquarters in
Clarksburg, w. Va, has successfully
negotiated a contract with the oper-

Increase in wages.
Recognition of the union.
3-Closed shop.
4-Check weighman and the check

5-Pit committees.
Bi-monthly conferences between
operators and miners on conditions in

The effect of the settlement has
spread through Ohio and Pennsyl-

Educators Condemn Wage Cuts
And Advocate Trade Unionism
ST. Louis University Professor Points Out Wage Reduc
tiOns Would Add to Decentralization of Industry
While Washington University Professor Urges Wide
spread Organization.

st. Louis, Mo- (ILNS)-Wage cut
ting was condemned and trade union
ism strongly advocated by college
professors, speaking at the Unem-
ployment Seminar, sponsored by the
st. Louis social justice commission.
DR.. Roy B. Cave, of ST. Louis Uni
versity, in discussing "The Function
of Business to Cure It's Own Ills"
pointed out a general reduction in
wages at the present time would be
followed within a few months by an
almost equal drop in prices, leaving
the business world in much the same
position in this regard as before.
"a slash in wages will bring no i'm
mediate improvement in employment
conditions" he said, "and, therefore,
will mean further drop in the
national payroll. This would be fol-
lowed by falling prices because of the
contraction in purchasing power.
Pay Cuts DemOralizing
"This policy will result, moreover,
not only in added misery but in con-
siderable resistance on the part of the
workers, a factor which will con-
tribute toward the further demorali-
zation of industry. The workers know
only too well the difficulties associat-
ed with raising wage rates that once
have been lowered.
Everything considered, a much
sounder policy to pursue under exist
ing conditions is to reduce costs of
operation by improving methods of
production"
Prof Charles L. Hodge, of st.
Louis University, said that industry
has been unable to sell it's products
because of the lag in the purchasing
power of the American family. AS
an example he cited the fact that
two-thirds of all families are still
without radios, 60 per cent without
ordinary electrical appliances, 60 per
cent without telephones, and 30 per
cent without bathtubs.
Union Best Pay Protector
Prof Ralph H. Fuchs, of Washing
ton University, told the meeting that
the trade union is obviously the most
suitable form of organization to see
to it that wages are maintained and
that employment is protected.
"It is difficult to conceive" he said,
"of form of organization which can
be more effective than this, which
makes use of the power of those who
are most Immediately interested in
the maintenance of wages and en-
ployment.
"The labor unions in this country
have a great deal of difficulty in

which is true of shoes is true of many

Our international bankers, with

less we are watchful, we will find
that the products of foreign labor
brought into America, and sold to the
distributors cheaper than the cost of

American labor, will force into the

fronts them"
Battle for Prosperity
Referring to the attacks being
made upon these wages and the stand
ard of living of the American work
ing people, Mr.. Flynn said:
A crisis has arrived in our
history. We have the highest stand
ard of living of any people in the
world. 1t is our belief that such
standards are in great danger at this
time. You can hardly pick up a
metropolitan daily or a national mag
azine without finding contained there
IN the subtle propaganda of those in
terested only in profits to enrich
themselves, seeking to put American
labor on parity with labor condi-
Europe, by lowering many of the al
ready inadequate tariff duties in the
present law"

as others.

tions, spent considerable time and

general attitude toward them re-
mains one of hostility.
Organize or Perish
"Not as a measure of social justice
alone, but as a means of self-preser-
vation for the existing order, and as
an essential foundation for enduring
prosperity, there must be widespread
organization of workers in this coun-
try.
