SCANT HOPE TO
 OBTAIN AERIAL
 MAIL CONTRACT
Southeast Alaska Project May Be Eliminated
 Economy Program

WASHINGTON, D. C., Maren 3. Especial Correspondence) - The Chamber of Commerce of the Uni ted States has been cooperating with Delegate Wickersham in the effort to- secure air mail service from Seattle to Alaska, but this organization has about concluded that the general cry of economy in public expenditures will tend to destroy any hope of having this new project carried out under the appropriations being made for the fiscal year starting July I, 1882.
 Dr. R. V. Ellis. of Ketchikan, Assistant Surgeon of Public health Service, accompanied by Mrs. Ellis. spent ten days in Washington in connection with his official busi- ness. They left for the west on March 1.
 When Delegate Wickersham in- troduced his bill for the creation of Supreme Court for the Terri tory of Alaska it provided for a membership of the four district judges and a presiding judge to be appointed by the Attorney Gen. eral. Because of the expense of an additional judge the Judiciary Com mittee did not favor the bill. As a consequence the Delegate has prepared and introduced a new bill that provides for a membership of only the four district judges, three of whom shall constitute quorum for transacting the husi- ness of the Supreme Court. The judge in the First Division shall be the presiding judge for the first year, the other judges in the order of their number division shall serve a year as presiding judge. Neither of the judges shall

receive extra compensation for their services on the Supreme Court. As this bill carries no extra cost or appropriation it is ex- pected to meet with favor by the Department of Justice and the Judiciary Comittee, and thus pass Congress.
 The Alaska Radio & Service Co.,, ketchikan, has been granted per- mission by the Federal Radio Con- mission to install 100 watt trans hitter immediately and on Sept. 18th, to add additional equipment to increase the power transmission to 800 watts.
 The Bureau Of Fisheries reports that the 355 whales taken in Ala skan waters by two whaling sta- tions during 1880 yielded products worth s47o,265. making the value of each whale more than $1 300. Whale oil, sperm oil, fertilizer, plckled meat and whale bone were the commodities secured from the animals, says the report The sec tion of the report which deals with Alaskan whaling follows:
 The Port Hebron and Akutan stations of the American Pacific Whaling Company were again op- erated in 1880. Seven steam whalers were used, and employment was given to 190 whites, 14 natives. and two JapaneSe-a total of 206. or a decrease of 27 from the num- Der reported employed in the indus try in the previous year. The whales taken consisted of 50 finbacks, 19l humpbacks, 76 sulphur bottoms, and 36 sperm whales. This is a decrease of 30 from the number taken in Alaskan waters in 1929.
 The products of the whale fish, cry consisted of 816,7O0 gallons of whale oil, valued at $371 ,272; 12l,- 150 gallons of sperm oil, valued at S45.43l; 8l5 tons Of fertilizer from meat, valued at S40,75o: 355 tons of bone fertilizer, valued at s10,65o; 37000 pounds of picked meat valued at sl,850: and 5000 pounds of whale bone, valued at S308--a total value of products of $470.265 and a decrease of 6e6 from 1929 when products were valued at $502.081.

He scored the fake progressive

smell the stockyards.
Demonstrate Against Jim Grow.
A demonstration of several hun
dred Negro workers was held in front
of the Vincennes hotel today to pro-
test the entire Jim Grow and lynch
gang program of the Republican
Party, which is not concealed from
the working class by the plank in
the republican draft platform which
unblushingly claims that "our party
stands pledged to maintain equal OPP
portunity and rights for our Negro
citizens" The convention makes
this claim as a vote catching device,
at the very moment it, itself, is ruth
lessly Jim Growing its own delegates!
Police Attack.
The demonstration was led by
Leonides Mcdonald, a Negro stocil-
yard worker, and Communist Candi-
