ing Drive of the Communist Party,
the New York District has succeeded
in reaching so per cent of its quota
Of 1000 new members. The only other
district in the country to equal New
York in attaining this percentage of
recruitment Is the Chicago district.
With the rent strikes, bread strikes,
the building Of Unemployed Councils
and branches, and block committees
as its stepping of point, New York
has gotten 1000 of the total of 2618
new members recruited into the Com

ATTACK MOVE
FOR JOBLESS
INSURANCE
Politicians Hit On
Scheme to Sidetrack
Fight of Unemployed

NEW YORK. - Another
move against unemployment
insurance is planned by both
democrats and Republicans in
Congress, supported by Presi-
dent Hoover, according to a special
story publfiished in yesterdays New
York Sun" by its Washington cor
respondent, David Lawrence.
Lawrence declared that a so-called
bill for federal relief would be
cooked up by the democrats and re-
publicans and that such a measure
will be passed and that President
Hoover will reluctantly but newt
ably sign it,"
Even this talk about federal relief"
which would at the extreme provide
not more than $40 year for the
unemployed was forced by the grow
ing unemployment demonstrations
and organization of fighting unem-
ployed councils.
However, the present move of the
federal government is based on the
inability of the bosses any longer to
hide the fact that the so-called local
and state relief is completely breaking
down. Recently Hoover had an
nounced that everybody was being
adequately taken care of by local or
CARNATIONS. The most meagre pro-
visions for food are being cut down.
In Chicago all capitalist agencies adj
nit that there are over 100000 work
ers who face death by starvation.
The bill which Lawrence says Hoo
yer will sign" does not even provide
for one cent of direct relief to the
unemployed. 1t is supposed to go out
as loans" to local governments and
they can use it as they want to =
that is to pay graft first, to pay the
charity administrators
The latest action of the Hoover
hunger government shows the need
for continuing and spreading the Or
gained struggle for unemployment

I recognize that roads and trails are indispensable to the development of the resources of the Territory and I favor the appropriations possible, both Federal and Territorial, in order to provide for the cor- struction of the same, including the construction of Information al Highway from the United States to the interior of Alaska, and I further take t,,le position that the Alaska Railroad was built not as a revenue producing project, but to develop the Ter ritory, and the Federal Govern ment should maintain and oper- ete the same with such idea in mind and with such tariffs as would enable the people using the road to receive the most benefit possible therefrom.

He came at the be- hest of his Association to confer with Commissioner of Fisheries, Henry O. Malley, to try to secure some change in regulations. MT Wakefield says that because of the low price of herring, oil and meal, the herring men are un- certain whether they will oper- ate in Alaska this season. From here he went to New York to dispose of a car load of herring for any price he could get.

But some means of keeping our timber bottled up must be devised.
 Quick boys! Slip that timber land into a bear pasture! The old "hokus pokus" of forest con- servation is just about worn out. The people are getting wise to that one, but this bear pasture idea should be good for another twenty years. By that time large private timber holdings should be pretty well cleaned up; we can then move the bear pastures over onto the mainland some where and cut that timber. Whats that you say? What about this idea of raising the bars so that people can move in there? No that's not the kind of bars we want raised. Ha! Ha! Ha.
