ANYOX LABOR STRIKE
 SITUATION CLEARING

Compulsory deportation by the Provincial authorities of the disaffected labor elements at Anyox, B. C., has cleared up the Granby strike situation to the extent that an early re- sumption of both mining and smelling activities is expected, according to reports reaching here this week.
 During the past weekend 365 of the men who voluntar- fly walked out two weeks ago were ordered out of the camp by the police authorities, the deportees including Thomas Bradley, alleged professional labor agitator and radical, who is charged with being the or ganizer of the walkout, which involved approximately 400 of the 1000 men employed at the Granby plant and of which a major part were not in sym pathy with the strike.
 Despite an intensive hunt by the police, which included house-to-house search, Bradley succeeded in eluding the off cears for two weeks by disguis- ing himself, but was finally recognized and taken into GUS tody.
 The latest reports indicate that the company officials are planning to resume operations as soon as a new crew of min- CTS is secured.
 So assured is the resumption of activities that the Premier has been advised that ore ship ments to the Granby smelter can be resumed.

 Population on Relief"

Nine hundred of Ketchikan's population of 4,000 persons are entirely dependent on re- lief agencies at the present time, according to a telegram sent recently to Speaker Gar ner of the House of Represent atives by Ketchikan business men in urging immediate act ion by Congress to increase tar ifs against fish importations from countries with depreciat- ed currencies, meaning partic- ularly Japanese fish products, which are underselling similar Alaskan products in the States.
 The Ketchikan appeal was made in behalf of many thou sands of fishermen and em- ployees of Alaska salmon can neries whose seasonal work provides winter sustenance." ."

ANARCHIST ATTEMPTS
 LIFE OF ROOSEVELT

President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt became the target for an assassin's bullets We'd nesday evening, when six shots were fired at him by an Italian anarchist. shortly after he re- turned to Miami, Florida, from his recent yachting trip in southern waters. The name of the would-be assassin is Gui- seppi Gonzora, according to radio broadcasts:
 MT. Roosevelt was uninjureG by the flying bullets but Mayor Anton Cermak, of Chicago, and a woman bystander were seriously if not fatally injured and three other persons in the large crowd surrounding the presidential party were also in jured by the flying bullets.
 Gonzora is an acknow- ledged anarchist and avowed enemy of kings and presidents. He was arrested immediately after the shooting and was held to await the results of the in iuries to his critically wounded victims before formal charges are preferred.
 MT. Roosevelt appeared un- preturbed by the attack and proceeded by train to New York shortly after the shooting.

Lccal Relief By Flood
 Maintenance Work Urged

To assist Representative J. K. Green in his efforts to secure Territorial assistance for local labor and business by means of maintenance work on the Sal mon River flood protection works installed by the Terri tory and local interests, the Pioneers of Alaska and Hyder Chamber of Commerce have addressed letters to MT. Green and other legislators and influ- ential citizens, asking their ass istance toward securing a leg islative appropriation for that purpose.
 The communications stress the critical unemployment situ- ation resulting from the decad- ence of the districts sole in- du2try, mining; the resulting slow destruction of local busi- ness; the urgent necessity for some form of assistance if the camp is to survive the present crisis, and points out that an appropriation for adequate maintenance work on the river will not only provide employ ment for all local labor but will also prevent the loss of the more than $30,000 already expended by the Territory and citizens for flood protection.

 The list of exported commod- ities, as shown in the monthly statement of customs collector J. c. Mcbride, follows. A re- markable feature of the state ment is total absence of any exports of canned fish other than shell-fish.

BRADSTREET'S JOURNAL
 DISCUSSES SILVER ISSUE

i
 est is disclosed almost daily in
 articles in the public prints for
 or against rehabilitation of sill yer. And now comes no less a staunch supporter of the single gold standard than Brad streets Weekly with discuss ion of the question which ap-
 pears to indicate a dawning idea that silver might have some possibilities as a means
 of relieving the worlds finan- i cial and economic ills.
 Discussing Senator Borah's recent remarkable argument in
 Congress in favor of the remon-
 etization of the white metal. the journal says;
 "A week ago Wednesday, Senator Borah took up the
 standard of the legitimate in- flationists with a declaration favoring the remonetization of silver. The word legitimate is used to distinguish those infla- tionists who are in favor of breaking the commodity price
 jam by resort to another metal lie base for currency as con- trasted with those who, like Senator Patman, would issue bales of new fiat currency to accomplish the double purpose of imitation and the temporary appeasement of the veterans" Here follows a discussion of Borah's charge that Britain is blameable for the demone- tization of silver and the de- fense made by the British am- bassador, which has no direct bearing on the Weekly's state ment regarding silver and is omitted.
 "Of greater interest than his charge that England was re- sponsible for the distress of sil- ver," the Weekly continues, 'is his (Borah's) suggestion that the white metal be remonetized as means of halting the de- cline in commodity prices and achieving that 'reflation' which would tighten debts, taxes and
 all forms of fixed charges.
 His case is strengthened by the advantage which depreci- ation of currencies has given our competitors in world mark cts. They have adopted the expedient of reducing the gold equivalent of their currencies instead of resorting to another metal. Austria leads the pro- cession in fixing definitely the amount of this devaluation
 which, in the case of the shil-
 ling, is to be 22 per cent. It is probably but a matter of time before most of the other 43 nations off the gold standard
 will fall in line and establish
 new and lower gold equiva-
 Tents for their currency.
 Tt should be noted that sil- l yer has declined more or less

Great Success of "Peace on Earth"

Broadway receptions for their sue

literally bowled over by the roars of
approval, the jeers. misses, and ap-
plause that accompany each scene Of

Noted Authors Enthusiastic
Spectators like Sidney Howard,
Robert Morss Lovett, Alfred Kreym-

have commented on the strange
new sense of vitality in the theatre
conveyed to them by this rapport be-

wo-king-class audience. They have
compared the theatre to the great
social theatres of Greece, the medic

Union, all of which had the courage
to attack the vital political and So
cial problems of their day. Honest
intelectuals have hailed the Theatre
Union as the markings of q great new
American theatre.
