OSBORN VISITS HOME TOWN
 AFTER SIX YEARS ABSENCE

John Osborne orrived from Juneau on the Northwestern Friday night to spend a two-week's vacation in visiting with his sisters, Mrs. Ken fiaivorsen and Miss Ann Osborn, meeting old friends again and get ting in some duck hunting on the Stikine flats.
 This is his first trip to Wrangell since he left six years ago for Ju- neau. For the past four and half years he has been connected with the U. s. Bureau of Public Roads Where he is operator of grader equipment in the maintenance de- partment;
 Osborn WAS one of Wrangell's star basketball players fram the time he was big enough to play en T team. He has been disappointed on his visit here to find so little in terest in the game. Everywhere he turns, he says, he sees excellent material for basketball teams husky young fellows with plenty of pep to put up good game:
 Juneau has league of six teams, five local and one from Douglas playing indenendent ball. Bach team is backed by local business firm or 8 lodge. Osborn is captain and coach of the Bureau 9f Public Roads team. Juneau and Douglas fireMen each have team and George Bros. United Meat Com pany and the Moose lodge each back a team.
 By an arrangement with Juneau high school the league teams use the school gymnasium without any cost whatever Two teams practise with each other two nights a week as rule, and each team is subject te call for practise with the high school boys until they come up to the Gastineau channel championship series and then the high school team plays five straight games with Douglas.
 Proceeds from the leagues pub- lie games are turned into the high school athletic association and are sufficient to pay for all gym lights heat. showers, and all incidental costs, so that neither the individual players nor league teams have te meet any expense in playing.
 A fine public spirit in Juneau backs up the teams, Osborn says and is really responsible for the keen interest of the players.
 He hopes to see 8 team or two developed in Wrangeli during the ;. coming winter, to play Juneau teams and to revive the oldtims Wrangell interest in basketball.

Finds Old Pontoon

An old airplane pontoon, which is thought to be one left by the ill., lated Captain Burke, was found .-.Dout eight miles from Savers. Lov- ett cut the top out of it and used it for a boat the following spring.
 In April, an airplane of the MA M. E. arrived at Savers Creek with the first load of men and supplies Tor the summers prospecting. Even tually, eight of the company's men were on the ground. Lovett joined this outfit and worked for them the balance of the summer. His two partners succeeded in obtaining airplane transportation to the Ma hani, but the results of their search for Burns diggings are not known.
 The pilot of the N. A M. E. plane reported on his last trip from Fort Simpson that the old Mcleod dig gings on the Nahani had been found and relocated This mine, the exist ence of which was known as far back as 1904, has been a will-o'- -wisp for prospectors ever since the bodies of the Mcleod brothers were found on the lower Nahani.

LOVett Home From
 Irlp In Alalu country

James Lovett, well-known Wran- gel man wno has spent the past To months prospecting on the upper LIard River, returned to Wrangen tnIs week via Atlin, Whitehorse ana ohagway. The trip from Sayer's creek to whitehorse was made by alrpIane, which MT. Lovett declares IS the only feasible way to get in or out or the country. He reports that virtually all Savers Creek has been located by the Northern Aerial Min eral Exploration Company, of Tor onto.
 Lovett left Wrangell last August in company with Jules Sequin and OIe kollog, both of Prince Rupert, to search for a promising prospect, alleged to have been discovered by "kngineer" Burns, while the latter Mds travelling cross country from Fort Norman to Liard Post.
 Wintered on Sayer's
 The airplane which was to trans port the party from Dease Lake to lake on Flat river, tributary to the Nahani, proved to be too heavy and cumbersome for this sort of work, and the pilot after making several attempts to reach the de- sired point, returned to Sayer's Creek, where the three men win tered.
 This is one of the oldest diggings or the Yukon, Lovett says, having been worked as early as 1873. His party arrived there too late in the fall to do much prospecting. They built a large cabin and cache and killed moose for their winters lar der, after which they began to ex- pore the creek and nearby country.
 Stone AK Lake, about 50 miles from Savers, has been the scene of much activity during the past twelve months, according to Lovett. It was here that Smith, an Atlin Indian, found coarse gold two years ago. It is an outpost of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a re- cording office for the district. Sour " Creek, the next creek north from savers, is also claiming its share of attention,

Create Anti Semitism
to Divide Workers
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
I am worker in the Pelham Bay
Park (slave Camp and would like
to let you know under what condi-
lions we work. First is that We work
all day in the broiling sun and are
being watched by a foreman who is
continually nagging at us because we
rest a few minutes.
Last week the head time keeper
Mr.. Wright who rides in Hudson
car and thinks he is the king Of
Something" came over to us and
cursed us saying: "You god damn
lazy loafers and bunch of lazy buns,
was watching you all for about
ten minutes and there was not one
of you working" 1t was then 1880
am. and 81 degrees in the hot sun.
L have notion to fire every one
of you" he continued, "and if you
don't believe me give me your num-
ber" We have numbers not names.
He is also a relief worker, but he
makes SGT every week, while We get
$3.50 per day All tn I'D men in
the park are Irish anl IL the soft
jobs in the parks are given to the
Irish. There is so much discrimina-
ton against the Jews that work
there, that it is a known fact that
! you are not Irish you haven't a
chance.
l hope that the attention of this
matter will be called to the workers
because what happens in Pelham
Bay Park happens in all the parks,
am sure.
EDITORS NOTE:-Jewish work
ers and those of other nationali-
ties on this job should strive to
work together with t-ie Irish
workers and point out that the
politicians who in this instance
happen to be Irish develop anti
semitic prejudices in order to di-
vide the workers and speed up
each group.

P. A.
Livestock also have been made use
less by lack of food. During the last
week six mules and one horse have
died in this county from lack of feed
and overwork
Numerous short droughts. which
have been very severe and which have
done considerable damage to the pea,
corn and bean crops, have caused the
farmers to protest more vigorously
for future relief. Cotton has also been
damaged to some extent by the
droughts. At the present time rain
is imperative. If it doesn't come with
in a very short time the farmers will
lose practically all Of their crops. This
condition coupled with the loss Of
their relief will certainly stimulate
militant action.
Program of F.P.A.
The local and state FPA. is fight
ing towards no foreclosures and evic-
lions, cancellation on all back taxes,
a moratorium on future taxes and all
debts and in general fighting for bet
ter prices. The F.P.A. is also urging
the city worker. especially the unem-
ployed, to join forces with them. This
is very important because neither can
exist without the help of the other.
They must work together for the to-
tai destruction of the Wall Street buzz

Plan Action Against Flowing Cotton
Under
Plans are being drawn up to COM
bat the measures taken by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, who says.
"Plow up your cotton for six dollars
an acre" This will only help to
strengthen the organization of the
landlords and merchants. and further
the depression for the already highly
exploited farmer. Besides the cotton
suggestion of Wallace, he has pro-
posed to buy two million, five hun
dred thousand bales of cotton from
the American Cotton Growers Asso-
citation at a nice price, plus the pro-
cessing tax. Ee says this will not
affect the price of manufactured
commodities much"
Refuse to Starve Midst Plenty.
We here in Arkansas know that
our ragged clothes have already worn
out and that we will not be able to
meet the increased retail price which
is sure to come in spite Of Mr.. Wal
lace's glib promises to the effect that
no price increase of cotton goods is
expected. Initiation and public works
taxation will also help to bring about
increased prices.

no FORCED LABOR
TO GET SHELTER
Order Slave Contract
for Dayton Jobless

DAYTON, Ohio. The latest
wrinkle in the bosses attempts to
force workers into passive slavery
originates in this city. Unemployed
workers are being forced into
homes in exchange for their labor.
These same homes were foreclosed
on the owners through inability to
pay the mortgages.
The agreement states that the
Director Of Public Welfare has full
authority to tell the worker to get
out and stay out for any reason
he may see fit. And if the worker
doesn't like it he can fight the
Director in court. In addition the
worker, as the agreement states,
without property, money or re-
sources" must permit entry into
his home by inspectors any time
they see fit to come in.
The agreement on this point
reads; the worker agrees to per-
nit entry and inspection of the
premises and each and every part
thereof by the said Director of
Public Welfare, or such person or
persons as may be authorized by
him to make such entry and inspec-
ton, at any time"
Workers accepting such propo-
sition will have to talk and act in
the most slavish fashion, because
one word and out they go, families
and all. These slave barracks are
an attempt to smash the militant
struggles of the workers for in
creased relief and decent living
conditions.

the hungry farmers out of the relief

Family Lives On Relief of One Dollar

Two Days Relief Work at SLIGO
Per Day
Through the efforts Of the Farmer
Protective Association of Arkansas
and state secretary, Hugh Gore, the
farmers have set up eight locals in
Polk County and have written strong
protests to the State RFC. commit
tee. AS a direct result Of the vigor-
Gus protests some work for the. starv-
ing workers and farmers has been
secured. Sixty-eight have been given
work for two days each at the magni-
ficent wage of one dollar and sixty
cents per day.
Speed-up IN BLAZING sun
Those who are lucky enough to Sc
cure the work are forced to work on
the federal highway, which is sup
posedly maintained by high land tax,
auto license tax, and the seven cent
gas tax. Conditions on The job are
Of the worst order. In some cases,
farmers are forced to walk from
to 10 miles twice a day to reach the
job. The job itself consists of dig
ging up, crushing and spreading rock
on the highway. The speed-up work
system, combined with the blazing sun
and heavy rock dust are enough to
take the life out of any healthy per-
son, to say nothing Of the half-starVed
relief workers.
OF course the bosses argue that the
work gives democratic life to the
workers and they should be glad to
receive the chance to work, but the
farmers and workers ask, why do
we do this, only to starve."
AS result of the intolerable con-
ditions they are telling their friends
of the Farmers Protective Association,
so that together they will be able to
band themselves into mass organ-
ization and win decent standard of
living.
Farm Movement Growing
The farm movement in Arkansas,
although progressing rather slowly, is
basically the way out for the farmer
from his present difficulties. The
farmers are beginning to see men,
bers of their own families and COM
munities weakened and made prac-
tically useless by continual starvation
and lack of clothing. There is much
local agitation among local individuals
and groups for alliance with the F.
