Bear Sanctuary Needed
to Save the Grizzlies

There are few thousand grizzly
bears left on the Alaskan islands Of
Admiralty, Baranof, Chicagof and
Kodiak, but the trouble is that all
these islands are surrounded by
numerous small islands on which
foxes are raised for commercial pur-
poses, and the men who raise foxes
kill the grizzly and brown bears when
they visit salmon spawning streams in
summer. The bear meat is used for
fox food. 1t is also reported that the
crews of the salmon fishing vessels
kill many bears.
Protecting the bears by placing a
yearly bag limit on them will not save
them. What is needed is bear sane
tuary. Congress has vainly been ap-
pealed to to pass a bill designating
one Of the aforementioned islands as
a bear sanctuary, making 1t unlawful
to harm any Of the bears at any time
on this island so designated

that President Hoover had approved
the principle of the fve-day week for
government employees as recommend
ed by his council on personal admin
lstration, of which Thomas E. Camp
bell, president of the u S. Civic Serv-
ice Commission, is chairman. The
council declared the new policy would
be great economic and social
achievement and the forerunner of
the shorter work week in private in
dustry.
William Green, president of the fed
Grafton, in expressing the sentiment
of the executive council, said he was
IN agreement with Mr.. Campbell,s
conclusion that the shorter work week
IN government departments would
contribute very largely to relieving
the effects of the depression through
stabilization and the spread of en-
ployment.
We regard this action on the part
of the government as recognition Of
very vital economic and social reform
for which organized labor has con-
tended for many years." he added.

Hollywood Airplane Pilots
Organize for Protection

Atlantic City, N. J.-Airplane pilots
employed by the Hollywood motion
picture studios, assistant directors
and script clerks, scenic artists and
costumers and a group of allied en-
ployes informed the executive council
of the American Federation of La
Dor in session here that they had
formed a strong organization and
asked the federation's assistance in
negotiating contracts governing their
crafts.
1t was also reported that the
"stunt" men employed by the studios
were organizing a union and that they
planned to ask for a charter direct
from the federation.
One of their grievances was re-
ported to be that Outsiders" had in
vaded their field with offers to risk
their necks in staged automobile ac-
cidents and thrilling "leaps for life"
in airplanes for a mere SIS stunt.

LABOR BANK
By Open Challenge Halts
Rumor Mongers Attack

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Wher
rumor mongers started reports to the
effect that the Mt. Vernon Savings
Bank, pioneer labor bank here, was
not in tip-top shape and started
withdrawal of Christmas savings and
vacation fund deposits, President
Frank Lee, Machinists' Union mem
Der, challenged the rumor starters at
once and stopped their work almost
before it was started.
President Lee, solidly backed by the
whole Institution, took large display
space in the Washington Post to as
sure depositors that the bank was
prepared to meet every obligation" !"
At the same time he offered $500
reward for apprehension and convic-
tion of any person circulating false
report about the bank.
The result of President Lees
prompt and vigorous action was that
depositors focked back and gave the
bank one of its biggest days of bust
ness.
Letters, wire and phone messages
and verbal congratulations have been
flooding President Lee. The bank
"came through flying" under it's own
power, without the slightest assist
ance from any other source.
'The Mt. Vernon Savings Bank is
as sound and solid as the Rock of
Gibraltar" said President Lee in his
advertisement
The furry followed closing of two
Or three small banks in Washington.

Odd African Monkey

The Diana monkey, small black
monkey found on the west coast Of
Africa, takes its name from a cres-
cent OF upright white hairs on its fore
head which Is suggestive Of new
moon, the emblem of the Greek god
dess, Diana. It's foreparts and long
beard are also white and its back is
marked with streaks of brown. AL
though this species Of monkey is
gentle and easily tanned, specimens
sent to menageries rarely live very
long. They are unable to stand the
change Of climate and the restrictions
Of captivity.

NICKEL FARE
SEEMS DOOMED
Powerful Vote Factor Ap-
parentIy Sacrificed in
Budget Slash.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 10. = The
nickel fare" which has proved a
powerful factor in New York City
elections, apparently has been sac
rificed for Tammany Halls $780,
100000 budget slash"
The budget was trimmed to meet
demands of bankers, who otherwise
refused to lend money to provide
for pay rolls and other necessary
expenditures.
Charles E. Mitchell of the Ma
tional City bank Monday told the
board of estimate the city's credit
was "in a crumbling state near the
brink of financial crisis" The real
trouble, he said, was largely polit-
ical."
The board, with Tammany mem
bers voting as unit, proceeded to
make a $90,000,000 reduction in the
budget
In addition to the reductions sug-
gested earlier by acting Mayor
OOSepu v. MChS6, IllS DOdIQ dp-
proved substitution of f1fty-year
subway bonds for the present four
year bonds. This cut amounted to
SAG, 100000.
Mckee previously has proposed
an eight-year plan that would have
cut expenditures about $32,000,000.
The Tammany plan more than
equaled McKee's, and prevented a
salary reduction for about $4,000
civil service employees, most of whom
are Tammany or Democratic work
ers controlling about 100000 votes.
Authorities generally we're agreed
that the f1fty-year subway bond
plan meant the abandonment Of
the scent fare.
Bankers who appeared certain
that the fare was doomed within
the next three or four years, long
have sought an increased subway
fare.
And now the city is expected to
be granted a loan by Friday, the
day Controller Kerry said $20,-
100000 was needed.

Short Session Modification
Possible, Not Probable,
SAYS Anti Saloon Chief.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Dr. F.
Scott Mcbride, chief strategist of
the Anti-Saloon League, said today
that he believed modification of the
volstead act was possible, but not
probable at the coming short ses-
sion of congress.
Mcbride said the new congress to
be elected next month would be
dry.
Speaker John N. Garner, Demo-
cratic vice-presidential candidate,
and, more recently, Senator Joe T.
Robinson Dem, Ark), the senate
minority leader, have predicted Vol
stead modification this winter.
1--WE shall see," said Mcbride.
1.-THE only hope of the vets is to
coerce dry congressman to vote
against the will of their constitu-
encies. The next congress will have
dry majority. We intend to hold
congressman responsible to their
constituencies.
so far as the national election is
concerned, the drys have no place
to go. We are making our fight in
the congressional districts"
Anti-Saloon League records indi-
cate that about one-fourth of the
435 congressional districts are I'M
compromisingly wet and about one
fourth uncompromisingly dry. Nc
Bride said the league was making
its fight in the remaining districts
in which one candidate is wet and
the other dry.
He said the league was counting
on southern Democrats to vote dry
in congress.
