Declares It Is Time For
 Action On Silver Issue

"In the welter of debate over unemployment, the war debts. tariffs, prohibition and similar subjects, we have lost sight of one major problem-that of silver" says the Denver Mining Record.
 World recovery and rehab- llitation of silver are inseper- able,' the journal continues Precisely as ruinous silver prices helped bring on world depression, so can fair silver prices help bring back world prosperity. Business leaders and industrial organizations are continually stressing the need for an international silver conference that will produce results. So are political lead- CTS of both parties. It is time for action"

What Price Beer?

The probable price of beer in Ketchikan is causing quite a controversy in the First City. according to the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 Some business men say they have been quoted wholesale price of S3.15 to $3.50 per case of "A pints. Another brewer is said to have quoted $2.9O a case for quality beer" It is pointed out that pint bottle is about equivalent to a good sized glass of beer and at 20 cents would return the dealer $4.S0 a case, out of which the taxes would have to be paid.
 The Chronicle states that several local business men were planning to have beer on the market by April 10. Owing to distance, beer from outside breweries cannot reach Juneau before April II. Just when Hyderites will be able to samp- le some of the new brew is very problematical. Anyway, all they have to do to slake their thirst in a glass of lager is to step across the boundary line.

Premier Discontinues
 Sunday Operations

The Premier Gold Mining Company has discontinued Sun- day operations for the present as a result of a change in the working system involving the shont-time day in vogue for some months. Under the new system the short-time week day has been discontinued in favor of a full-time week day with Sunday off.
 During the past week the company also reduced by about 80 the number of ore buckets on the tramway but later re- placed them. Operations at present are said to be on the same scale as during the win ter period, with ore going to Anyox and Tacoma.

NEW SILVER BILL
 WINNING APPROVAL

A new bill designed to stabil-
 ize silver by government pur.
 chases and ultimately bring the
 white metal to a parity with gold has been introduced in the
 House by Congressman W. L.
 Fiesinger of Ohio and is said to
 be finding increasing favor
 among silver advocates.
 The measure provides for is suance of silver certificates
 against a reserve of silver bull
 lion to be purchased in the op- en market by the treasury at the best obtainable price, the silver certificates being used
 in payment. The first 15O mil hon ounces are to be purch- ased or contracted for within four months after the passage of the act. Additional silver up to 250 million ounces is to be purchased or contracted for within 12 months, making a to- tai of 400 million ounces purch- ased. Thereafter the secretary '2f the treasury would be em- powered to purchase addition al silver bullion whenever the market price does not exceed by three cents an ounce the daily average price of the met al for the preceding 90 days. On this basis the treasury is to continue purchases until 371M grains of fine silver reaches a parity in value with 25 8-1O grains of gold nine-tenths fine. It would then be the duty of the treasury to resume buying silver whenever it is obtainable at or under one dollar per ounce of the designated finess, but in no case shall purchases exceed 200 million ounces per year, and shall not exceed 100 million ounces per year af- ter the total purchases made under the act reach 112 billion ounces. There is said to be a strong likelihood that the bill will be reported favorably by the Coinage committee of the of which Representa- tive Somers is chairman.

loans was passed by about 200 farm
delegates assembled at the first State

On the second day of the Confer

ingly adopted the resolutions pro-
posed by the resolutions committee.
Among the demands were immediate
relief, cost of production price for all
farm products, against reductions in
school appropriations, abolition of
sheriff sales, foreclosures and eyic-
tons.
In addition, the farm delegates
pledged to be ready to strikeI and
picket with the city workers in their

Jig Shop Chairmen
Protest Effort to
Destroy 5-Day Week
Hochm an Demands
Half Day Work
Saturday

NEW YORK-In a spontaneous
outburst of indignation, shop chair
men of the dressmakers, affiliated
with the international Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, protested
against a proposal made by Julius
HICKMAN, Joint Board Manager, that
the dressmakerS work on the follow
ing Saturday. Ready to resist any
attempt to undermine the standards
recently won as result of the strike,
the shop chairmen sensed a trick in
Hochman's recommendation that the
Saturday work be done in order to
enable the dressmakers to quit work
at one o'clock Wednesday and march
to Madison Square Garden where the
ILGW intends to hold a 'fcelebra-
ton"
The workers recognized that work
ing on Saturday for time lost We'd
nesday would set a precedent for fur
ther work on Saturdays. Since the
strike ended, officials have ordered
the workers to go to their shops on
Saturday three times in violation of
the IlVe-Qay week provided IN Jnelf
recent strike agreement.
The proposal was finally railroaded
through after the chairman OF the
meeting permitted HICKMAN to take
the chair But the protest indicates
that the dressmakers do not intend
to treat the five-day week lightly.
HOFFMAN was compelled to promise
that the workers would not be called
on to do Saturday work again.

the role Of the Cannon-Ferrula ma

Instead the workers demanded that
the A. F. of l.. leaders spread the
strike to the big shops who have been
protected by these officials and to
compel the bosses to grant the terms
Of the agreement. They called for

of the city spread the rumor that he
was coming with new program Of
relief for the unemployed and assist

was silent on this burning problem.

and Negro workers are taking part.
In the last few days the police at
tempted to prevent mass picket lines
in front of the shops but without
success.
Another important decision made
by this meeting is to issue a call for
mass steel conference to take place
on October Is in Indiana Harbor.
The call will appeal to the work
ers in every mill and department and
every union group of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union and
to the locals of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Work
ers to send delegates for the purpose
of outlining for the preparation of
struggles in the steel mills, against
the N. R. A. which cut the wages of
the workers and increased the speed
up tremendously.
The call has also been sent to all
fraternal organizations to send dele
gates of steel workers to engage the
largest possible number of workers
in the drive. Special attention is
being paid to the unemployed and
Negro workers At the meeting of
the wives, mothers and daughters of
the Standard Forging workers, a
Women's Auxiliary of the Steel and
Metal Workers has been organized.
Women will also send their delegates
to the conference on October Is.
Fourth Week OF Strike
The Standard Forging workers are
entering the fourth week Of the strike
The plant is completely tied up and
not single scab in the mill in spite
of all the attempts Of the stool
pigeons, A. F. of L. heads and COM
pany to break the strike. The strike
remains solid and out Of 500, three
hundred and fifty joined the Union
So far the company has refused to
negotiate with the Union and the
Strike Committee.
Acting under the direct instructions
of Washington, Mr., Hyland, of the
Department of Labor, had a meet
ing with the strike committee, in
which the strikers very definitely
told Mr.. Hyland that they would
never consent to arbitration, they
stand pat on their demand for direct
negotiation with the company Mr.
Hyland also showed very clearly his
role when he advised the workers to
join the A. F. of L. The workers de-
clared they want the union and will
stand by it. They don't want to have
anything to do with the A. F. Of L.
Strikers receive support not only
from the workers, but small business
men in the region are donating gen.
erously to the relief, and the Re-
lief Committee kitchen has been open
daily serving meals to the strikers.
At mass meeting organized by
the Communist Party, number OF
strikers joined the ranks Of the
Party.
