FILIPINO MASSES
HIT HAYES BILL
Force Quezon to Make
Fake Gestures

MANILA, Dec. 19.-The indigna-
ton of the Filipino masses, who are
fighting for immediate and complete
independence from the brutal rule
of American imperialism, has forced
the treacherous political leaders Of
the senate to denounce the Hawes-
Cutting bill just adopted in the
United States senate.
The Quezon Smoke Screen.
Manuel Quezon held conference
with his supporters among the polit-
ical leaders and announced that the
bill should be submitted to the
Philippine legislature for approval
before its adoption by the American
congress.
This is recognized as one of the
old tricks of Quezon to try to fool
the masses into believing that the
politicians in the legislature are
fighting against American imperial
ism and thereby weaken the indie
penoence movement so that bayonet
and machine-gun diplomacy can
carry through the Wall st. policies.
Boycott Movement Starts.
From number of sources there
has started movements TO boycott all
products of the United States. This
has greatly alarmed the agents of
Yankee imperialism, who fear that
large sections of the population not
heretofore politically active will be
swept into the nti-inperialist move
ment.

Unemployed Office
Workers Force Action
on Relief Demands

NEW YORK For the first time
in the history of New York City, I'M
employed single office workers have
won jobs or relief from the Home Re
lief Bureau. Undaunted when they
were informed that the bankers re-
fused to give cent and that relief
was to be suspended for $4,000 fam
lilies, the delegation from the Asso-
citation of Unemployed Office Work
ers insisted that the city's financial
committee must be responsible for
the raising of the fund, and that it
could be raised very easily through
taxation Of the rich.
Relief and jobs were procured only
because of persistent pressure upon
Commissioner Taylor and all his
subordinates. through day by day
militant action.
Promises after promises We're given.
Some were kept partially, and others
not at all. Determined that the city
make these promises real, another
delegation visited Mr.. Brady Of the
Home Relief Bureau and demanded
that he follow the instructions sent
him by Commissioner Taylor Brady
finally promised relief or jobs imme-
diately. To date many of these
cases have been investigated and
taken care Of.

Association calls upon all unem-
ployed office workers to join their

Stage and Screen
A PICTURE OF TAMMANY GRAFT

A PICTURE OF TAMMANY GRAFT
Even though the characters in
Afraid to Talk" speak of New York
as distant city, it is quite evident
before the story progresses far that
it is based upon Tammany rule in
this city. The screen drama now
on at the Winter Garden, is based
upon the stage play "Mery-Go-
Round" which reused the ire of the
censor when it was produced in New
York. The only jarring note was
the attempt to depict an honest pol
ice commissioner who was at odds
with the crooked mayor and the dis
trict attorney,
These two later WORTHLESS, along
with their police thugs frame-up a
bell-boy on a murder charge when
the gangster who actually committed
the murder threatens to expose them.
Tully Marshall, always an effective
performer, gives an excellent account
of himself as the district attorney.
Berton Churchill as the mayor is a
bit too beefy for Jimmy Walker. but
there fits around the scenes a dizzy
blonde with some of the limited bag
Of tricks associated with Miss Betty
Compton who is at present amusing
the ex-Tammany mayor in Monte
Carlo.
The scene where the beil-boy is
undergoing the third degree at the
hands of police thugs is an accurate
reproduction of what is happening
every day in every city of this coun-
try.
The story closes with the mayor
and the district attorney discredited
and facing prison, but the assistant
district attorney comes forth as the
favorite of the uplifters, although he
has been the dirtiest crook Of the
lot and manages to save himself by
letting down most of his former as
sociates.
The film is weakened by the fact
that a happy ending is contrived
with the bell-boy finally released,
whereas in the stage play he is
hanged in Jail because the politi-
clans are afraid to bring him to trial.
However. ii is worth seeing if only
to confirm ones contempt not only
for New York City officials but for
the whole miserable gang of political
laekeys of capitalism.

POSTOFFICE LOBBY MAY BE
 LOCKED AFTER 5 O'CLOCK

Wrangell boys, and girls, perhaps, are thoughtlessly paving the way for a hardship to be inflicted n the older folk of the community.
 They persist in using the lobby as a place to play after the post office is closed at 5 o'clock; take away the pens from the writing desks, tear down the notices: on the walls, and make a general nuisance of themselves. Unless this procedure is stopped at once Postmaster B. Y. Grant announces that he will be compelled to lock the lobby when he leaves the post office at o'clock each afternoon.
 The City Council is cooperating as much as possible. The marshal has been instructed to rigidly enforce the city regulations against defac- ing public buildings, the curfew reg ulation, and the ordinance against minors frequenting pool halls.
 Few youngsters seem to realize that the postoffice is Federal prop erty and the seriousness of commit ting even petty misdemeanors in the lobby.

Wrangell Hi to Meet
 Institute HOOpSterS

Wrangell High will meet Wran- gell Institute Hoopsters in a basket ball game at the gym, Saturday, Nov. 26. The game probably will be faster than formerly because of a new rule.
 The team in possession of the ball should advance the ball up to the middle of the floor in ten sec- onds without once passing it back of the middle line unless a field goal has been tried for. If the ball is not advanced it goes to the op- ponents' side.
 The line up for the High School will be as follows: Forwards, Billy Grant, Laurie Brood, center, Fred Grant; guards, Lawrence Behovic, Jack Urata.
 Coach Sharnbroich has ten boys lined up for the institute, but as yet has not assigned definite places for the game tomorrow night.
 Admission prices have been set at 15 and S5 cents, in order that every one may enjoy the game.

CARD PARTY SERIES START
 FOR HOSPITAL BENEFITS

The first of the. series of card parties during the winter months for the benefit of the hospital was a gratifying success from every point of view. Members of the Legion Aux Hilary were hostesses and the attend ace was large enough to provide fourteen tables. Whist furnished the pastime and prizes were won by Mrs. Ethel Denny and Mayor Barnes for high scores and Mrs. J. D. Nolan and H. D. Gray for low. Sand wiches, cake and coffe were served at the close of the games and an- nouncement was made that the next party of the series will be given by the Eastern Star Dec. IT at the Bills Club rooms.
 During the evening, MT. Benja- min, chairman of the hospital board gave a short talk in which he em- phasized the importance of the hos pital to the community and asked the cooperation of everyone in mak- ing the entire series of benefits success.

Thanksgiving Duly
 Observed In Wrangell

Thanksgiving Day was happily ob- served in Wrangell yesterday. A Union Church service held in the morning at the Presbyterian church was well attended. The High School Girls Glee Club under the direction of Miss Brunsvold had prepared spe- cial musical numbers for the occa- sion and led in the responsive service. Thanksgiving mass was held at the Catholic church in the morn ing and a special service was held by Staff-Captain Amy Acton at the Sal vation Army Hall in the evening.
 Throughout the afternoon many dinner parties were in progress throughout the community. The time honored turkey held sway over many dinner tables, while others were graced by roast venison, wild ducks and geese which were put into cold storage during the hunt ing season.
 The few homes in Wrangell where provisions are not plentiful were looked after by friendly citizens dId without doubt all in the community had an abundance of good eats and full measure of Thanksgiving happiness.

EASTERN MEN TAKE INTEREST IN
 CHAKGES AGAINST GAME OFFICERS

garding the practices of the Alaska Game Commission, including the Admiralty Island episode. As he is a better big game guide than writer, he says, he submitted his article for correction to Louis K. Paul, editor of the Petersburg Alaskan, who put the manuscript in better shape for publication. MT. Cooper, declares, however, that the article is his own and that Paul is not to be blamed for the statements it con tains.
 AS a result of the article in the Alaskan, MT. Cooper recently was relieved of his duties as deputy game warden, it being claimed in the first place that he should have reported violations of the law to his superior officers, rather than to a newspaper. It was also claimed that his accusations of illegal hunt ing were not true.
 It is not clear how Holzworth learned of the friction between the Game Commission and MT. Cooper but he gladly welcomed the incl dent to give him added material for his fight for an Admiralty Island sanctuary. The original fight by Holzworth included both Chichagot and Admiralty islands but recently he has dropped his agitation against Chichagof and is centering on Ad- miralty.
 The Juneau Empire has been very active in working against turning the heavily mineralized island into a bear pasture" and has been a potent force in with standing the attacks made by Holz- worth and Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the Audubon Societies.
 Dr. Pearson's interest in the sanctuary was aroused because some one told him that Admiralty Island was "an important breeding ground and resting place for migratory ducks and geese" The Alaska Game Commission denies this ImpoI tance but the matter will come before Congress, if not during the Decem- Der session, then most certainly at the March session.

Wrangell Institute is finishing the on Oct. to Il pupils ranging in age from fourteen to nineteen years and from grades seven to eleven.
 The work of the organization is now we'll in hand and everything is running smoothly despite the fact that the faculty is short of two teachers. The Bureau of Indian Af- fairs probably cannot remedy this situation during the present school term although it recognizes the diff faculties under which faculty mem bers are working. The personnel of the faculty is as follows:
 Leroy F. Jackson, the superin- tendent, comes from North Carolina, where he has been President of the Carolina New College and Dean of the College of the City of Asheville.

Mrs. Jackson has charge of the music, dramatics and girls gym nasium work in the Institute and teaches classes in grade subjects.
 Mrs. Mabel R. Borland is in charge of the girls. Mrs. Borland has been in Alaska for some time, com ing to Wrangell Institute from Ka- nakanak where she was girls matron for two years.
 Mir. and Mrs. S. M. Cassida are from North Carolina. MT. Cassida is instructor in mechanic arts and su- perintendent of buildings and grounds. He is also in charge of the boys campus work.
 Mrs. Cassida acts as secretary and accountant of the Institute. She is instructor in commercial subjects and mathematics.
 Miss Marjory B. Major, R. N. is in charge of the health center and instructor in health and hygiene. Miss Major has seen service in sev- eral parts of Alaska and came to Wrangell Institute from the Indus trial School at Eklutna where she was the resident nurse.

STEEL ISLAND IN PACIFIC
 OCEAN TO HELP OIL DRILLER

LOS ANGELES-And now comes mans newest plan for tide-land oil drilling-steel islands several thou sand feet from the shore line, on which oil derricks can be con- structed.
 One of these unique islands of steel is now under construction. The island is located at Seacliff, nine miles north of Ventura and 22O0 feet from the main coast highway between Los Angeles and San Fran cisco. Thirty men are now at work building a temporary island from which steel piles will be driven into bedrock far below. Depth of water is thirty-five feet.
 Details of the strange project were revealed by the Robinson-Rob- erts company, engineering contract ors for the Indian Petroleum com pany, which is erecting the island on a state tide-land lease.
 Anyone who has seen the long piers along the coastline will realize the vast expense entailed in the search for oil," said c. s. Robinson. My partner, c. L. Roberts, conceiv- ed the idea of the steel island for exploration purposes, providing for a $250,O0O saving for oil drillers. After oil is discovered, piers will be constructed from the shore to the islands. The oil will pay for this. Ill nearly all cases it is impossible to use already existing piers, as they are on separate leases and owned by competing oil companies"
 Robinson declared the islands could be placed in the ocean up to the depth of 100 feet on the leases. He predicted that they would be in- stalled on many leases as the law now prohibits new leases and as much of the land near shore has been utilized.
