TRAM LINE WORK
 HELPS UNEMPLOYED

Reconstruction by the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company of many of the supporting tow CTS of the company's 13-mile ore tramway from the Premier mine to tidewater has provid- ed sufficient work for local labor to greatly relieve the un- employment situation in Hyder
 Recent investigations by the company are said to have re- vealed an urgent need for re- placing a considerable number of the big timber towers which had become weakened by age and the strain of constant traf- fife, as indicated by the recent collapse of four of them with in a few hours.
 In addition to the tram work, the company has also en- ployed a few local men on riv- CT diversion work in the vicin- ity of Fish Creek, where Sal mon river was threatening damage to the tramway as a re- suit of oVerfloWing during high water periods.
 As a result of these uneX- pected activities, work has been provided for all but few of the local unemployed and is a veritable God-send to many who had reached the limit of their resources after months of unemployment.
 As there are quite a number of towers to be replaced, if climatic conditions do not in- terfere, it is probable that most of the men employed on the work will be able to earn enough to maintain themselves through at least a large part of the winter season by carefully conserving their resources.

NATIONS BIG DAY
 MEX TUESDAY

Next Tuesday, November s, the people of the United States as we'll as those of Alaska, will participate in what promises to be one of the most hotly con- tested and momentous elections in the nations history. In the States, public interest will cen ter largely in the selection of the president who will guide the country through the com- ing four years for veal or woe. Here in Alaska the people, having no voice in the national contest, must content lhem- selves with choosing their rep resentatives to the national and territorial legislatures and ter 'ritorial administrative officers.
 To the people of Alaska this is a matter as important IS is the selection of the president and state representatives and officials to their fellow citizens in the States and is as pregnant of good or evil effects on the welfare of our people as are the greater national contests.
 For this reason, and in v:cw of the imperative need for sane and economical - government during the present cycle of Ge- pression, it is vitally necessary that the voters make careful selection in choosing their can didates.
 Following is the complete list of aspirants for official honors as their names will ap- pear on the official ballots:
 For Delegate to Congress Diamond, Anthony J. Dem. Wickersham, James, Rep.
 For Attorney General Paul, William l..

THE MONEY QUESTION

iiiS "iIil IllC looud Ol cur = rency will interest local read CTS The first is from a state ment made by Salmon P. Chase after his retirement as secre- tary of the Treasury of the United States in 1864, the oth- CT is from T. Cushing Daniels recent work, Daniel on Real Money"
 MT. Chase's statement, all though made a good many years ago very aptly describes the present situation. He said i:
 "1t is now recognized by those who take a deep interest in the future of our govern ment that the money power dominates the entire business and politics of this country, and other questions involved are mere side issues. We have paid too much attention to the vital economic question of money upon which the prosper ity and happiness of the peop- le depend.
 "The issuing of real money, for which valuable consider ation is given, and not debts redeemable in gold, is a gov ernment function, as provided in the constitution of the Unit ed States.
 "No incorporated banking institution with stock issues are necessary as a condition pre- cedent to the governments ex- ercising this highest act of sov- ereignty.'
 MT. Daniel called attention to the fact that federal reserve bank notes are not secured by deposits of precious metal but are based on promises to pay debts. He says:
 Tt must be plain to any stud ent of our monetary system that asset currency (federal reserve bank notes) is a sub- stitute for silver coinage and a poor substitute at that, allow ing the banks to issue debts in- stead of dollars as money. This currency, held in leash by callable paper (short term loans), makes it possible to create a money stringency in any district at any time at the will of the federal reserve board as the agricultural con- munities know to their sorrow from their experience with de- flation since 1920.
 ''1n this connection it is inter- esting to note that under the of the Bland-Allison act 378,166,793 silver dollars were coined without the loan and interest feature attached and that the seigniorage (cop- per and alloy metals added to harden the coin) was $69, ,967,- 531, representing a profit to the government. Of the 163,- 047,664 ounces of fine silver purchased under the Sherm m act, if this metal had all been

secution. And on the court house

dered out of the court house just be-
fore the court opening, and searched
for weapons as they crowded back in,
too late to get into the court; but
they could not be entirely prevented
from hearing the evidence.
The court finally got around to
open at ten-thirty, and the judge sat
down in the front of the room, the
court stenographers at his elbow. The
ten prisoners, obviously tired from the
nine days illegally
the Jail, but nonetheless alert and
proud and calmly defiant, took their
places in a row OF chairs at the
Judges right. Their trim, quiet bear
ing, their intelligent faces, their con-
fident courage, contraSted brilliantly
with the anachronistic, provincial at
mosphere of the court. The Judges
face was smooth and pasty, the pro-
scouting attorney'S-Walter B. Smith
was screwed up and worried. The
prosecutor sat at q table at the
Judges left, along with the Associated

the other reporters. Mrs. Hutchinson

the corners and aisles stood miners

refused to take it.

by the prosecutor to be about the
same as the original one, though not
worded exactly like it.
The prosecution produced about a
dozen witnesses, deputies who failed
to identify all the prisoners by name
or by face, but who had arrested them
and found National Miners Union and
Communist literature IN their posses
sion, except in the cases of Dorothy
Weber and Margaret Fontaine, on
whom none had been found. Then the
prosecution held a conference with
one of the deputies who had been ex-
amined, and recalled him, and he re-
cognized all of the defendants this
time, RENDERING even that Margaret
Fontaine had also carried literature.
Freight and express and Western
Union agents we're called to testify as
to the amount of relief the miners
had been receiving-calledb because the
prosecution had been embarrassed by
alleged rumors that the judge and the
prosecutor had interfered with the
relief! To these things, and to lead
ing questions, the defense attorneys
objected, but in all cases the judge
oVer-rulled their objections.
The highlights of the hearing were
as follows: Early in the second ses-
sion Allan Taub demanded that the
court reveal the status of N. Reed
Patterson in the case, since, although
apparently only an onlooker, yet he
was being consulted continuously by
both, the judge and the prosecutor.
Taken by surprise, and angered by
the light in which he was placed, Pat
terson, well-known as attorney for the
mine owners, spoke up before the
Judge could reply, saying that of
course he was for the prosecution
and the defendants might as well
know it. On Patterson's rather Sump-

orge Van Beber was quoted as saying
that the arrested leaders would have
a hard time getting out of jail" And
the MiddlesbOrO Daily News (Jan. 81,
printed in neighboring town in Bell
County, although shedding editorial
tears over the poor miners who "suf-
fer in their silence and their distress,
like hungry sheep budding on bare
hillsides," nevertheless had express
ed its desire Ito dry up the incendiary
mountings of these foreigners whom
we have never seen before"
knew that Mrs. A. M Hutchinson,
local representative of the Associated
Charities, had publicly tried to lead
mob to the Jail to lynch these "un-
American" Reds.
But the Reds were calmly militant,
even though in Jail. Through a square
hole in the huge iron-barred door I
talked with Allan Taub, sent by the
International Labor Defense to de-
fend those who were arrested, and
himself arrested within two hours
after his arrival, thus bringing the
number of arrests to ten. Not till
the next day did understand the ex-
cUse that the authorities would give
for arresting the attorney, and for
arresting the two relief workers, Clar-
ina Nicholson and Norma Martin of
the Workers International Relief, and
the two reporters, Vern Smith Of the
Daily Worker and Ann Barton of the
Federated Press: In the next days

utor proudly produced the Fish Con-
gressional report apparently think
ing this report had been accepted and
ratified by Congress , to show that
the Workers International Relief and
the International Labor Defense were
auxiliaries OF the Communist Party.
They're all Communists he argued
and therefore all guilty of criminal

one years in prison.

several other local prisoners, but the
women's part, around the rear, was
still more crowded. The six young
women Clarina Nicholson, Norma

ber), and Margaret Fontaine, were
forced to share the tiny rooms with
other women arrested on charges of
