During the last 24 hours, Seward has been an unusually busy place. A passengers liner arrived in port last evening from the South, then a mixed train arriver in town from Anchorage Today three airplanes also arrived from the Interior and the MS United came into port, re- turning from trip to the West ward This evening the regular passenger train is due to arrive from Fairbanks, and the SS Starr is also expected in port some time today.

REFINING O|L MAKES
 CITY PROSPEROUS

WHITING, Ind, Mar. 1.- Here in Whiting they say business is good and they mean it.
 The city's three banks are re- ported to be doing a thriving bus mess, other business is practically normal, 98 per cent of the 1881 tax levy has already been collected and only a few of the 12,O0O inhabi- tantS are out of jobs.
 Oil is the reason. One of the Ma tion's largest oil companies has it's refineries here, and Mayor Thos. s Boyle credits it with much of Writings good fortune.
 And to make matters better, there has been a Is per cent reduction in the city's tax rate.

HARD FORAGING

There are many deer along the beaches of Southeastern Alaska this year as they have to come down to the ocean side to forage for food. The deer eat whatever they can and their baech forage consists mostly of kelp, says the Petersburg Press. Residents of Southeastern Alaska often cut down a hemlock tree so that the deer can secure some nouriShment other than kelp.

PORT HOBRON ITEMS

From Port Hebron, in the far Westward area, comes word that the first mail to reach that whal- ing station in two months was brought there on January 28 by Otto Kraft who came from Kodiak. Those who live at Port Hebron do not see other human beings for periods as long as a month or two months.

 Although no definite news has vet been received at the whaling station at Port Hebron as to the condition of the whale oil market, it is expected that word will reach there some time during March. The company of which Port Hebron is subsidiary, has four whaling sta tionS and 15 steam whalers lying idle, which entails considerable ex- pense, but it is thought that the Port Hebron station will operate this summer.

Confined in specially constructed tanks of

themselves to pressures the equivalent of those
to which divers are subjected at great depths
and to vacuumS comparable to those prevailing
far above the earth
Extraordinary things-bordering on the mi
raculous-have happened in the course Of these
experiments.
Take, for instance. the case Of Johannas c.
Rasmussen, commercial diver.
1t was something akin to miracle that hap
pened to Rasmussen in the decomposition
chamber at the Washington Navy Yard.
The Navy is too conservative and too dis
Greet to claim that Diver Rasmussen was resur-
rected from the dead. Perhaps it is entirely
possible for a mans respiration and pulse to
stop for matter of minutes and then resume
activity.

clothes, building materials for homes, automobiles, etc.,
and the largest possible market for these things is to be
found among the millions of wage earners and their
families.
1t was even more unfortunate in view of the fact that
during this period the railroads had reduced their wage
payments and the coal mines had very greatly reduced
theirs.
Toward the end of 1929 manufacturers began to re-
alze how unfortunate this was, and so they stopped
building machinery and slowed down on commercial
building construction. This brought, to light another
unfortunate angle, because wage increases in machinery
manufacturing accounted for one-half the total increase
in purchasing power of all the wage earners in manufac-
turing, and the wage increases in the building trades ac-
counted for nearly all the increase in purchasing power
of all other industrial wage earners.
The great textile industry, employing one-fifth of all
the wage earners in manufacturing, had actually reduced
its wage payments during the Coolidge boom. So, also,
had the shoe manufacturers and manufacturers of lum-
Der products and of stone and clay building materials
and copper refining, while the great steel industry had
shared only 5 per cent of its huge business growth with
its wage earnerS.
We have lots of plant. We can produce anything. But
who can buy it? We've reduced such purchasing power
as wage earners had in 1929 so low that it now stands
$4,000, 600, 900 below 1923. Yet interest and dividends
go merrily on-greater in 1881 than in 1929, $4,000,000,-
600 greater than in 1923.

STEEL MAKES ANOTHER STEAL.

United States Steel Corporation that from April l,
1901, to December 81, 1880, had a total net income of
over $4,000, 000, 900, has again slashed the pay of its
100000 employees.
The recent cut of Is per cent follows a 10 per cent cut
last October and brings the average wage of steel workers
to 80 cents an hour.
that unless business picks up there will probably be more
wage cuts.
To the Steel Corporation this last pay cut means that
the concern will save about $50, 900, 900 for the balance
of 1882, enough to equal depreciation and depletion
charges for the rest of the year. On the other hand it
would be sufficient to pay bond interest and preferred
dividends.
The $4, 900, 000,0 900 net income from 1901 to 1880 was
put out as follows: Interest on bonds, mortgages and Sc
cuIities, 1911, 000, 900; dividends on preferred stock,
STA, 600, 900; regular dividends on common stock,
$89l, goo, 1000; 40 per cent extra common stock dividend,
S5O8, 900, 1000; to cover watering stock when organized,
508,O00,OOO miscellaneous, Sl4,8OO,0OO; undivided
surplus, $742,000,000.
These figures disclose the fact that it was absolutely
unnecessary for the company to reduce wages and that
it reduced them because it figured it could get away with
it, the steel workers being unorganized.
Dividends are being paid on the preferred stock, al
though the last dividend on common stock was skipped.
Payrolls fell in 1881 to &c per cent of what they were
in 1926.
1t will be difficult indeed for this greedy corporation to
convince it's employees that the reduction was necessary
and in addition there has been established a "~stagger'
system Of work that has further reduced wages received
by individual workers.
This pay cut brings added hardship to steel workers
and to merchants also, for it reduced buying power by
$50, 600, 900 for the remainder of 1892, and so digs the
trench of depression deeper.
Prophecies of steel magnates that there will be fur
Their pay cuts if business does not improve is their admis-
sion that wage cuts do not improve conditions, but never
theless they make them when theyfeel they can get away
with them.
On top of all this are the figures showing that the Steel
Corporation has $742, 000, 900 surplus. This is wealth
that the workers have produced and have not received.
In addition there is the stock that was issued as divi-
dends in time Of prosperity in order to avoid paying taxes
to the government that would have had to be paid if the
dividend was paid in cash.
At the time this stock was issued this publication point
ed out it was not only a fraud on the government, but on
the employees, for it would continue to be a tax on labor
in the dividends that would have to be paid upon it.
Nothing more ruthless appears in industrial history
than the wage cut of u. S. Steel. 1t is a steal from the
workers. It is as much Of a fraud and a crime as the
selling of worthless stock.
But such things will continue until the steel workers
rise in their might and organize and have a voice in the
distribution of the wealth produced from their sweat
and blood.

HOW MANY PEOPLE REALIZE?

That in 1923 the manufacturing industries of this
country added $685. 900, 000, 900 of value to the row ma
terials that they took from the mines, forests, and farms.
This $26,OO0,O 0O, 900 was the charge that these manu-
featuring industries made for the share contributed by
them to the creation of the national income. The manu-
facturers paid ST., 600, 900, 900, or 42.5 per cent Of this,
to their $500, 900 wage earners.
By 1929 manufacturers had become so busy and so
prosperous that the value they created, or the charge
that they made for their services, had increased by S.
600, O,OOO. But in their preoccupation with prosperity
they forgot to share 42.5 per cent of this increase with
their wage earners. In fact they gave their wage earners
only 13 per cent of this increase.
This was an unfortunate oversight because manufac-
turers are in the business of making food products, shoes,
