SUPREME COURT
FOR ALASKA

Delegate Wiclersham has in
trOduced bill in Congress which
shall give to the Territory Of
Alaska, q supreme court which
shall give sit III cases wherein
small claims only shall be con-
Sidered. The court is to be COM
posed Of the four federal judges
residing in the territory and any
judge who shall have sat in any
case shall barred from partici-
paJing in the decision Of the
court IN any case on appeal.
At present it costs around
$500 to carry case to the
court of Appeals in San Francis
CO The printing Of briefs alone
runs into considerable money
and many who perhaps, really
have q grievance cannot make
an appeal lacking the funds to
d. so.
The Territory Of Hawaii has q
supreme court which is func-
tiCning without the limitations
that are being imposed upon the
proposed court in the Territory.
We do not concede that the
HaWaiians have any higher de
gree of intelligence than the
citizens Of Alaska and therefore
are not entitled to any greater
benefit Of a supreme court than
Alaska Then, all things being
equal, 9 similar court should be
provided for il the Wickersharl
bill providing for a supreme
court for Alaska.

RAW FUR SITUATION

In this country. One fur MAJ:

makes this statement: "There
is every indication that before
the shipments from the 1882

LEGISLATURE
CUTS CITY PAY

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 15.-The
special session of the legislature
rushed through the bill cutting the
pay of New York City workers in
the dark hours of Wednesday night
and adjourned just after midnight.
The united bankers of New York
served notice on the legislature late
yesterday that the pay cut must be
for an indefinite time, no limit set,
and Tammany, upstate Democratic
and Republican senators and assem-
blymen dutifully needed their mas
ters' voice. The bill as passed says
the Board of Aldermen can cut wages
at their own sweet will, until the
Legislature shall find their (the wage
cutting laws-Editor) further opera
ton unnecessary"
The law affects all those with
wages over $4,000.
Legislature Cut Teachers.
The Board of Estimates and Board
of Aldermen cut wages Of all but
teachers. The Legislature passed a
separate bill cutting the teachers
wages, itself.
The New York unemployed, who
see in these wage-cuts no relief, but
merely added misery for the working
class, will continue their struggle, de-
manding relief for the jobless and
canceling of the wage cuts on city
workers.

ENGDAHL SUNDAY
Mrs. Wright to Speak

NEW YORK. - Workers from all
over the city will gather Sunday
NIGHT at o'clock in Bronx Coliseum,
l77th st. and West Farms Road, and
pay a fitting tribute TO the memory
of j. Louis Engdahl, late national
chairman of the International Labor
Defense, who laid down his life in
the struggle for the freedom of the
nine ScottSboro boys.
Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of two
of the Scottsboro boys, who toured
Is countries with Engdahl was de-
ported from two countries and twice
arrested, will tell Of the tremendous
happenings in Europe which resulted
from the call for international SOL
idarity.
Sixty branches Of the LID. will
mobilize in full force as the ashes
of their leader is borne in by a guard
Of honor. Other speakers will be

leader and member of the Central
Committee Of the Communist Party,

thus restoring the full effectiveness
of basic rates of pay.
They now propose to extend the
deduction" for another year-mak-
ing a total of two years employment
of railway workers at wage 10 per
cent below the 'basic rate" That
the basic rate disappears entirely
under such arrangements is obvious
and the railway union leaders
know It better than anyone else with
the exception Of the railway workers.
Not Fundamental Question.
The fictitious idea behind this
"quibbling" and maneuvering, and
the false hopes held out to the rank
and file, is that during the period Of
the agreement for the 10 per cent
deduction" a donation" as the
railway union officials describe 1t, the
companies hands will be tied; that
they will be unable to initiate further
wage-cuts.
The question as to whether the
railway representatives will accept or
reject the latest official union pro-
posal for years extension is not a
fundamental one for the companies.

Builds Armed
Freighters for
the Pacific
(By a Worker Correspondent

KEARNEY, N. j., Dec. Isl WORK
in the Federal Shipyards in Kearney
where four passenger freight" ships
are being built for the Grace Steam
ship lines. These ships are build as
gifts from the government, under
the Jones White law of 1928. In
reality they are auxiliary cruisers
to be used in the Pacific, built with
reinforced gun mounts, two forward
on the bridge deck and four on the
after end of the boat deck. Every
thing is designed for wartime
utility. The banana and automobile
holds (these are the products the
ships are supposed to transport are
constructed for easy conversion into
Accommodations for troops.
The ships carry enough fuel oil
to make a trip across the Pacific
to China and return to any naval
base. With their speed of 201@
knots an hour they can make
Yckohoma in Is days. They have
a 10000 ton displacement and twin
screws, and carry go passengers,
with plenty of space available for
troops.
Wage Cuts.
The Jones White law has some
sort of joker in it providing against
wage cuts. but it seems the Steel
trust didn't read that part. The
skilled and semi-skilled workers were
getting from 81 to 80 cents and the
helpers so cents an hour. Now the
skilled workers are getting from so
to So cents an hour with very few
at "a cents. The helpers get 81
cents now. few get AZ cents
Build Anti-War Committees.
The building of these seemingly
innocent ships for the merchant
marine" is further proof OF wal
preparations. I attended a meeting
of the American Committee for
Struggle Against War in Newark a
few weeks ago at which delegates at
the Amsterdam World Congress gave
reports and pointed out the necessity
to build anti-war committees. II
seems to me very much more should
be done in the United States in the
struggle against war One thing
which could be done by workers al
over the country who have similar
experiences is for them to send in
formation to the American Commit
tee for Struggle Against War, 104
5th Ave, Room 1911, New York City
and to help build these anti-war
committees in all industries, especi-
ally shipbuilding, munitions and
