PIONEER 
 BARBECUE
 BIC SUCCESS

The annual barbecue of the Pio- neers of Alaska, took place last Thursday evening at Pioneer Igioo. Promptly at 2 PM, the pioneers and their invited guests sat down to the repast. In keeping with pioneer tradition Alaskan prodncts formed the main part of the menu. Prime reindeer roast. native pota-. toes and turnips was the principle feature. 4 new feature of service was inaugurated in the persons of Nome's most charming young dau- gthers of the golden north, who, dexterously and in short time. supplied the waiting diners.
 Before dinner, President of the Pioneers. Harry Lomen, in short and pithy statement gave formal welcome to everybody. After the dinner Marshal Chas. D. Jones, the toastmaster of the evening, opened his remarks by a well received story, and then introduced Tom Gaffhey who delivered the address of welcome. MT. Gaffney during the space of brief talk, stressed the importance of the young Alas kans towards the development of the territory, exclaiming in burst of sentiment, they are the greatest asset and inheritance which the pioneers have given to Alaska, and that every assistance should be giv en them.
 The Nome Orchestra next gave some beautiful selections which $ much appreciated. A native son, ARin Polet. in a masterly manner gave the guests an erudite talk on the purchase of Alaska and the part that Seward played in the transaction, The barbecue being held on Stewards birthday, the ad- dress was most appropriate.
 During am interaude, Wilfrii Nelly charmed the. diners with an exquisite rendition of the latest music on the piano, which was well received. Alvin Polet on the cornet with Mrs. Harold Dill at the piano was the next number, and to say that their music was su- baime would be putting it mildly.
 This was followed by a violin solo by Richard Lee, accompanied by Robert Baldwin on the piano. The rendition was we'll received and heartily encored.
 The next number was the em- bryonic nightingale, who some day if the writer does not miss his guess, will be celebrity, Miss Jane Jones with Wilfrid Nelly at the piano. Encore after encore was called for and when she finish ed her popular songs. the audience went wild with applause.
 But the keen wit of the toast 4HdSJ0Fs IuTulSHGu I10 surprise or the evening, when he said that we all heard of Seuwice. and the Gold smith of Nome, but few of us knew we had their equal in Nome. while in the midst of suspense he called on tine Irish bard, Mike Kennedy The writer won't att tempt to cover this part of the program as no human ears could rise superior to the din of cheers and applause which greeted Mike as he sang the Miners of Big HurTah." You would have to be there to believe 1t.
 The Nome Orchestra then kindly volunteered to play dance music, and everyone enjoyed themselves for couple of hours and every body voted the occasion one of the most successful ever staged by the Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo No. One.

By JAMES CASEY

WITH the appointment OF William
w H. Woodin as head OF the U. S.
Treasury Department, Roosevelt has
laid firm the foundation for an open
dictatorship of finance capital in
Washington.
Moreover, by this act, the PreSi-
dept-eiect has convincingIy revealed
that he is giving utnlost Corpora
ton to the bankers and industFialists
in Fastening preparations for a new
world slaughter of workers as the
way out" of the crisis. For Woodip,
who through a maze of interiocking
directorates Is associated with the
Morgan and Rockefeller interests, is
also one of Wall Streets leading
military experts. The new Secretary
of the Treasury has made a special
study of all the plans Of the War
Department.
For this particular reason, Woodin
has been placed in a cabinet post
where he will have complete super
vision over all the government funds
and at the same time serve as the
central link between the military, the
bankers and the manufacturers Of
munitions. But before reviewing
Woodin's more or less secret con-
nections with the War Department,
it is important to cite other reasons
why, in the eyes Of the business over
lords, he is qualified to hold an Of
flee of the highest trust under the
new Wall Street regime.
Coal Magnatc's Scheme.
Many years before this latest CAPT
talist crisis, Woodin distinguished"
himself in public office as an astute
agent of big business and as ruth
less foe of the working class. 1t was
in the fall and winter Of 1922 that
the coal magnates of the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite region had suddenly
embarked upon course of excep-
tional proSiteering. They volun-

and Coal Magnates' Price Plot

teered the excuse (Which inYestiga-
tons proved to be groundless) that
their exhorbitant prices we're actu-
ated by shortage in production.
Dealers in New York City and
throughout the state seized this OPP
portunity to send retail prices sky
ward. The result was that workers
homes everywhere were left without
coal during freezing weather.
Protests by the thousands we're
sent to Nathan l.. Miller, then Gov
ernor of New York State. The Gov
ernor (who has gone down in his
tory as demagogue to compare ia
orsbly with Roosevelt HIMSELF ap-
pointed Woodin as, sort of coal die
tator. At that time Woodin was a
leading Republican. Today Woodin
is leading Democrat (This is not
the kind of a change to bother
Woodin much, since not even the
keenest capitalist politicians could
distinguish any material difference
On Sept. %, 1922, Woodin was named
to regulate prices and adjust eondi-
tons.
A Bitter Winter.
Week after week passed, only to
find profiteers intensifying their ac-
tivities. Woodin turned a deaf ear
to all pleas and demands for relief.
The winter was bitter one. Suf-
fering among working-class families
throughout the state reached alarm
ing proportions. Even the capitalist
welfare agencies were forced to adj
nit the need of immediate relief.
Thus the State Legislature had ap-
propriated a 100000 emergency
fund to alleviate the widespread dis
tresS.
Woodin refused 20 use this money
for relief. The workers could freeze
to death--that was none of Woodin's

ties while the coal profiteers ran
riot and the United Coal Merchants
Association acclaimed him for his
answering csllousness. Thus Big
Business had given Woodin his test.
And Woodin had won his spurs.
However, Woodin was destined TO
come into the public hmelight again
last year as a pernicious enemy of
the working class. In December,
1928, former Mayor Walker OF New
York City began negotiations with
group Of bus line promoters, who
eventually organized the Equitable
did all his work through former
Senator John H. Hastings. The
amazing story is still fresh in many
minds. In brief, the company was
to receive a franchise to operate
buses through Manhattan and the
Bronx. Later the routes of all the
boroughs were to be covered by the
buses Of this company. Eventually.
under the plans, the company was
to take over the city's trolley lines
and Subways and then raise the
VI alisit idTOS W burucu the mdsscS OF
the workers.
-Four years after these negotia-
lions we're begun, Woodin's name was
linked to this conspiracy. The new
Secretary of the Treasury is presi-
dent Of the American Car and F'oun-
dry Company. This company,
long drawn out investigation dis
closed, was supposed to build $50
buses for the Equitable concern, thus
helping TO put over the biggest tran
sit steal in the history of the nation.
Woodin has admitted that he had
conferred with Mayor Walkers agent
in connection with this crooked deal
tt is manifest that woodin enters
the cabinet with sufficient expert
ence to provide the country with an
other Tea Pot Dome scandal.

NEW YORK.-According to latest
reports, the South American Anti
War Congress which was TO have
opened in Montevideo, Uruguay, yes
terday, has been postponed to March
II. The postponement is made be-
cause the delegates from Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Peru are
unable to reach Montevideo on time

Roosevelt announced yesterday the
appointment of the 70-year old Vir-

Cordell Hull, RooseYelt's Secretary
Of State, already has begun putting
into effect q more aggressive" for
eign policy, and held secret confer
ences of more than an hour each
with the British and French anlbas-
sailors yesterday in an attempt to
sound out Britain and France on
their attitude on the question of war
between the U. S. and Japan, which
the Wall Street Government is in
stigating.
U. 5. Attacks British Move.
The decision of the British Gov
eminent to put into effect a TEN
porary embargo" of arms shipments
to both Japan and China was sharply
attacked by Washington officials and
leaders in Congress as an overt AID
to Japan. The State Department de-
clared that the U. S. Government
would not follow the British example
Senator Borah declared: Il certainly
am not in favor of following suit. To
put an arms embargo on China and
Japan is to take sides with Japan
under the conditions which now ex-
ist."
Japan Threats Retaliation.
The Japanese imperiaIists took the
British move lightly, but utilized il
to further dramatic the developing
war situation between Japan and the
U. S., threatening retaliation to the
U. S. mainly if any attempt is made
to cut off Japan's raw supplies for
the manufacture Of munitions.

some surprising changes are
recorded in the tables covering
contributions to the Daily
Worker fund for the half.week
from Friday TO Monday incIu-
sive, during which total con-
tributions of $2,438.81 were
received.
The greatest per centage gains we're
recorded for Pittsburgh and Boston.
Pittsburgh, with a quota of $3.50,
raised $8442 during the half-week,
boosting its per centage from 80 to
81, This places it right behind New
York, which is first with 6l.4. Com
necticut dropped to third place, with
48.l, while Boston, after dropping
completely out Of the first five dur
ing the past few weeks, jumped UP
to fourth place, with 4s.s. ITS con-
tribution for the half-week was
$185.60. Boston has kept a good pace
now for five full days, and much is ex-
pected from this district from now
on until the end of the drive. Buff
falO, with 38.i, holds down fifth place
in the national rankings.
Two. Members, Get Into Action!
The contributions OF the Inter-
national Workers Order 50 far in the
drive gives cause for alarm. Altho
the contributions have been steady,
they are far too low, proportion
ately, for an organization whose
quota for the drive is 5000. The
campaign Of the Daily Worker for
funds cannot be a success unless
the quota Of the Two. Is fulfilled.
This is what makes 1t 50 important
for the branches of this oryaniza-
ton all over the country to come to
life immediately, with bigger and
more frequent donations. So far
the Two. has raised total Of ST.
127.1S, or only 14.I per cent Of It's
quota. This is far behind most Of
the districts, the poorer ones of
which have raised, for the greater
part, ut least 20 per cent Of their
drive quotas.
Minnesota, with a quota OF $3.50
has raised only $l4e.T6. Kansas City
has donated only $60.eT out of q
quota of $3.50. The Dakotas, with the
same quota, have contributed a mere
$2i.25 during the drive! Where are
the farmers for whom the "Daiiy'
fights?
California, Seattle Show Little Life
These mid-western delinquent dis
tricts are matched by the two big
west-coast districts, whose shovings
so far are disgraeefully poor. Sesttle's
quota of $3.50 has been only 81 per
cent fulfilled. California, with 1879
per cent of $1,000 Is scarcely better
off.
1t is essential that these five dis
tricts, which are way behind should
Immediately tackle the Job Of pro-
