ness in Alaska, over the Alaska Railroad as we'll as the highway, and has probably done much more to help the Alaska Railroad than the Alaska Railroad has ever done to help the Richardson Highway Transportation Company.
 Refers to Scenic Grandeurs
 Judging from your letter, I infer that you would just as soon not see any business, tourist or other wise, go over the highway. I think it is generally conceded that the Keystone Canyon, the Richardson Highway and the Copper River and Northwestern Railway are the three most scenic trips in all Alaska, ex- cepting only, of course, Mt. Me Kinley Park. Further, for your in- formation, in regard to the few tons of possible freight with two small trucks, cannot see what difference that would make with the Alaska Railroad, inasmuch as the Piggly Wiggly Company had already decided not to use the Alaska Railroad for perishable freight.
 "As you know, last year we did
 not go into competition with the Alaska Railroad or the Valdez freighters for the reason that we
 were in hope that the Alaska Railroad would see fit to reduce it's
 passenger and freight rates.
 Wouldn't Have Been Necessary
 "If this had been cone, 1t would
 not have been necessary for the
 Richardson Highway Transports ton Company to enter into the
 Valdez freight or passenger busi- !, ness. The Fairbanks people are now advertising an SIS fare from Valdez 1 to Fairbanks, or vice versa. Of course our company cannot com- pete with such rates. We are charg- | ing $35, which fact will mean that we will probably not get much, if any of their business. Further
 more, my personal investment
 mounts to approximately two
 hundred thousand dollars, which ] l intend to fully protect to the best of my ability So, if your mstruc-
 tions to your Chicago office in re- l gard to the sale of Golden Belt
 Line tour tickets stands, it will be
 necessary for us to go much further in order to get business enough te : protect our investment.
 Will Advertise Railroad However, no matter what you personal attitude may be, we do no intend to ignore the Alaska Rail road. We shall still advertise th' complete Golden Belt tour ant shall still include the Alaska Rail road in that advertising. Our ob ject is to get as many tourists a possible. In fact, I think it ou duty to continue to boost the flask Railroad since it is owned by tn people, and the people are tn stockholders and taxpayers, an should be treated as such. It i quite different with the Richardso Highway Transportation Compan, It is privately owned and 85 pc cent of the stock is my owr Neither the Alaska Steamship Com pany, nor the Alaska Railroad, nc any other transportation compan : has any interest in the Richardso Highway Transportation Compan, This fact should make my attitud clear.
 T sincerely hope that you wi { receive this letter in the spirit i which it is written.
 "Very truly yours, IS. O. FRIEDMAN"

NEW YORK, May 4.-The Tanks have started swinging from their heels, and it is beginning to look like they are going to have a lot of American League teams run nng to cover before the season is over.
 In their first six. games of the seascn the Ruppeit Rifles, collect ed 16 home runs, and there ap- pears no sign that the lombard ment will slacked to any great degree as the campaign settles down.
 Babe Ruun and Lou Gehrig, who collected 46 homerS apiece Last season, naturally were in the thick of the firing, but the long driy- ing of sam Byrd proved a sur- prise. 5
 Byrd started the season at cen ter field and immediately pounded out three hcmers, which equaled his entire output for last year. Sammy explained that he had se- cursd q lighter bludgeon and was taking a longer cut at the ball.
 Earl Combs, busted from center by Byrd, also started swinging a ..hcme run" bat when inserted in the lineup in the place of the Zabe, temporarily out of acSion with a cold Combs, line hitter, elevated his sights and drove two cut of the park in the first two games.
 Tcny Lazzeri celebrated his re turn to second base after it hac begun to look as though he hac lost his job to Jack Saltzgaver bN ratterning a powerful home rn that gave the Tanks a victor, over Boston. Bill Dickey, biz catcher, is another who has beer driving the ball to the far reache of the park.
 The Tanks last season perform cd somewhat astounding feat o scoring 1,067 runs and not win hing the pennant. Grove, Earn shaw and Walbsrg, great hurlint trio Of the Philadelphia Athletes furnished the reason. The tri' had bei.ter be good this year, be cause the current Tanks appea a cinch Ito collect more than 100 runs.

PROTESTS LIFT
RED CROSS BAN
ON STRIKER AID
Relieve Needy Regardless
of Distress Cause, Say
New Orders.

By ScrippssH oWdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-ProteStS
from Oklahoma that destitute strik-
ing miners have been denied Red
Gross food and clothing made from
government wheat and cotton have
brought orders from Washington
headquarters to relieve the needy,
regardless of the cause of their dis
treSs.
The protest was conveyed to
Robert E. Bondy, director of disaster
relief, through the Office of Senator
Elmer Thomas.
Assurance has been given that the
material will be distributed to the
strikers and their families.
Allegations were made to Thomas
that after union workers at Pitts
burg, Okla, furnished trucks, gas
and men, to transport thirty-five
sacks of flour from McAlester to
Pittsburg, they were prevented from
receiving the relief by T. H. Jardis,
Red Cross distributor for, the district
and secretary of the Coal Operators
Association Of Pittsburg.
The complaint to Thomas was
wired by George L. Hill, an attorney
who claimed the miners and their
dependents we're being discrimi-
mated against because of the labor
troubles, which had resulted in their
unemployment.
The policy announced by the Red
Cross officials here is that relief is to
be administered on the basis of
need, irrespective of cause and in
structions have been issued through
the st. Louis regional headquarters
to see that the unemployed strikers
share in the federal aid.

STATISTICS ON WHALING

The Bureau of Fisheries re- ports that the 355 whales taken in Alaskan waters by two whal- ing stations during 1880 yieldei products worth $470,265, making the value of each whale more than $500. Whale oil, sperm oil, fertilizer, picked meat and whale bone were the commodi- ties secured from the animals, says the report. The section of the report which deals with Alaskan whaling follows:
 The Port Hebron and Akutan stations of the American Pacific Whaling Company were again operated in 1880. Seven steam Whalers were used, and en- ployment was given to 19O whites, IA natives, and two Jap anese-a total of 206, or a de- crease of 27 from the number reported employed in the in- dustry in the previous year. The whales taken consisted of 50 finbacks, 191 humpbackS, IS sulphur bottoms, and 36 sperm whales. This is a decrease of 30 from the number taken ill Alaskan waters in 1929.
 The products of the whale fishery consisted of 816,7O0 gal Ions of whale oil valued at $371,., 276; 121,150 gallons of sperm oil, valued at $45,431; 815 tons of fertilizer from meat, valued at $40, ,75O; 355 tons of bone fertil- izer, valued at $10,650; 37,000 pounds of pickled meat valued at $1,85O; and $500 pounds of whale bone, valued at $308-a total value of products of $470,- 265 and a decrease of 6@o from 1929 when products were valued at $5O2,O81.

ERROR DUE-TO RATES

William Macdonald, a build ing contractor from St. Louis, is now in Washington trying to get some concessation in freight rates on the Alaska Railroad, thru the Secretary of the Inter for. He secured the contract for erecting the Fairbanks Federal Building, his bid being $392,0O0, but now he is in doubt as to whether he wants the contract. Tn making his estimate it seems he was misinformed by outside persons as to the freight sche- dule on reinforcing steel ship ments, which is much higher than he figured on. The Delegate is assisting him in trying 10 have the matter adjusted with the Railroad, for if Macdonald does not go ahead with the con- tract delay will result because blds would have to be advertised Tor again and possibly the speci- fcations changed somewhat The next lowest bid was by Severin & Co.,, of Chicago, whose figures were $422,OOO. While $45O,OOO was appropriated fol this building but $4O4,0OO was allotted by the supervising archi-

 1 Seldovia fishermen are resent ful. Naturally so. Is it any Wond CT when it is considered that opulently owned traps are allow cd thousands of feet of lead while a set or anchored gill net can be only 150 feet long?
 That 600 feet, the stipulated distance between gillnets, is nul ' lifted in the very next sentence by placing them 1000 feet from traps, thereby limiting nets in trap areas to at least 2000 feet apart?
 That there will be no fish, for any practical purpose, at Chinik on and after July 13, the date of opening?
 That by some weird quirk the arm of the law continues to protect to an inordinate degree silver salmon, a destructive ele- ment of red spawn, and of such numerical mass that they are literally damned and crowded cut of existence?
