UNION DRIVE
To Counteract 'Open Shop"
in Dallas is On

Dallas, Tex. (ILNS)-Efforts TO
unionize some $500 garment workers
in Dallas will be made by the United
Garment Workers of America, it was
announced with the arrival of Abe
Gordon, New York, special represen-
tative of the national union. Mr..
Gordon's arrival almost conceded with
the decision by the Hamilton Car
hartt Manufacturing Company, said
to be the last manufacturing concern
in this line of industry in Dallas to
hold union contracts, to go "open
shop" This decision affected about
25 union garment workers.
During the last year or two Dallas
has developed into the second largest
manufacturing center of wash goods
in the country, with between 1000 and
$500 workers. Charges were made
some time ago by the Dallas Crafts
man, official publication Of organized
labor in Dallas, that wages for gar
ment workers here, as result of the
piecework system used in many
shops, are below a living standard.

States" He describes such housing
provision as money well spent"

Balancing the Budget
I'VE are not afraid that the gov
ernment will be unable to balance it's
budget" continued Mr.. McGrady.
1--WE have little patience with the
propaganda in the press and in con-
gress that the outstanding thing for
the present congress to do is to bal
ance the buget. We maintain that the
outstanding thing is to provide work
for human beings in order that they
may live in decency and health and
comfort.
"For that reason the American
Federation Of Labor wants to place
its approval on this type of legisla-
ton"

Cost of Unemployment

The principal criticism we have
heard OF this BILL" Mr. McGrady tes-
tilted, SIS its cost Our answer to that
IS that the cost of unemployment will
far exceed eventually the cost Of
creating employment.
1--WE have notified the leaders in our
government that already the serious
human consequences of unemploy-
ment are apparent in American fam
lilies. There is loss of courage, bitter
ness, disrespect for law, desperation.
These will last long after the de-
preston.

BOMB ATTACKS

 SAYS KIM K0O
Koreans Going After Jap anese in Both Japan
 and Manchuria

SHANGHAI, May 10. - Bomb attacks on Japanese leaders in Japan and Manchuria, similar to that which occurred in Hongkew Park on April 29, is predicted in a statement from the Korean col- ony. signed by Kim Koo, Ko- rean.
 Kim Roo said he is the head of the Korean Society and was the instigator of the Hongkew bombing. He said he wanted the world to know the truth so the Japanese would stop rounding up Korean residents in Shanghai for questioning.
 Kim Koo said he sent Yum Xii that day with bombs to kill the Japanese officials reviewing the military parade and the young man acheived his purpose. My life is dedicated to freeing my country from the Japanese. They are doing everything in their power to apprehend me but my work continues. We seek to kill Jap- anese civil leaders and there will be other affairs similar to that al Hongkew, soon both in Japan and Manchuria."

SOVIET POWERS TO TRIPLE PAY
 OF PARTY MEN
Two Hundred Per Cent h. crease in Salary Is
 Now Indicated
By STANLEY P. RICHARDSON


 MOSCOW, May 10-Joseph Stalin and other high officials of both the Government and Communist Party will be in line for 200 per cent raise in salary if the political bureau, the party's all-powerful gov erning body, adopts a proposal it is considering
 It has under advisement an in- crease in the maximum salary to which all party members now are restricted from 300 to 900 roubles monthly (nominally $150 to $450).
 Few Get Top Pay
 If the increases are adopted, it is probable that they will not be an nounced publicly, only those af- fected being notified. The Commu- mist Party numbers more than 3,000,000 in the total population of 160 100000
 The increase would apply to ev- cry member of the party, although only a few would benefit by the top figure, just as only a few today draw the maximum of 300 roubles It would mean proportionate boosts all down the line, however, from Stalin, the virtual dictator, to the lowest subordinate.
 Under the present system al party members, whether officials ol plain wage earners, are limited tc the 300 rouble maximum for theil

gillnet fisehrmen left it for Taku Inlet for the early run of kings and sockeyes Plans had also been made to buy kings from trollers for canning, largely as a measure of relief to local fishermen who have been hard hit by lack of market for their catch.
 All pile traps had been driven, and the frames of floating traps had been installed, in readiness for putting in the webbing. It had been expected to start the web crews out about the middle of next week. This work will naturally be delayed until more web can be made up.
 The can manufacturing plant had made up large part of cans for the seasons pack. These, and tin plate for the remainder of the cans, were lost in the fire.
 Was Pioneer Plant
 The plant was one of the pioneer 
 salmon canneries of this district and one of the largest in the Ter ritory. It was built by the late John L. Carlson in the late sos and destroyed by fire about 1904. It was immediately rebuilt and op- erated by MT. Carlson for some 12 years afterward.
 About 1916, it was sold by him to the Libby interests who have operated it since then. It was a four line plant and one of the best equipped in the Territory. It employed many local workmen in the cannery and furnished employ ment to a large number of Alaska fishermen.
