Inc state conservation COM
mission and the state officials
of the Izaak Walton League
have been at loggerheads for
some time. During the recent
election the commission claims
that the League secretary has
gone out of his way in all his
campaign talks to belittle, the
commission and its members.
He was to talk on "conserva-
ton" over the larger radio
stations and the claim is made
that nothing much was said
about conservation but that
much time was spent in "a
vitriolic TRADE of abuse and
villification against the conser-
walton commission" according
to an editorial in the Mime
sofa Conservationist.
-
The attack on the part of
Secretary Kaupanger against
the commission and Governor
Olson was made on the Mon
day evening preceding the cleo
ton, precluding an answer by
the commission in time for the
election next day. The edi-
torial of the Conservationist
accuses the secretary as being
dishonest in his purpose of,fur-
thering conservation and had
used his high office to project
into the political arena an or
ganization known all over this
nation and Canada as a poll
tically disinterested and "un-
selfish defender of woods,
waters ana WIG lie.
The conservation commits
sion was invited to attend the
Walton League convention but
refused on the grounds of Sec
rotary Kaupanger's TRADE be-
fore election. The refusal and
its accompanying remarks were
read at the meeting. Discus
sion followed after which the
delegates present voted TO up
hold the acts of its officers.

Says Air Mail Outlook
 For Alaska Net Promising

No immediate forthcoming air mail system is seen for Alaska, it was announced re- gently in Juneau by Harlee Branch, second assistant post mas'.er general, following an extended survey of air routes as far north as Nome.
 Before leaving Washington fol his Alaska trip, Mir. Branch was quoted in press reports as intimating that air mail ser vice between Alaska and the the States wa'3 under consider a!ion and formed one of the reasons for his visit to the Ter ritory. He evidently was mis- quoted, as he explained in his Juneau statement that he was here merely ito zee if we can Co anything toward improving communication"
 In explaining the pC-itiion MT. Branch also resorted to the ancient official expedient of quoting figures showing how much more the Alaska mail service cost the government than the government derived from the service. According to his figures the po2tCffice de- partment spends around $780, 900 annually on the service while the return revenue is on- ly around S152,000.
 While at Nome MT. Branch flew across Boring Sea to Si- be1ia. His trip through the Territory was also made by plane.
 Anyway, MT. Branch prob ably had a nice, interesting vacation and it is to be hoped that he found some way to inn prove something. Taxpayers had 10 do a lot of hustling to dig up the price of his trip.

Many Changes In Congress
 Personnell Are Expected

With thirty-five states elect ing senators this fall and the entire membership of t h e House of Representatives com ing up for election, it is not un- likely that there will be many new faces seen when the 74th Congress meets in January.
 According 70 the political owls, a large turnover in the ,ower house is assured, as a number of the present mem bers are 1eeking senatorships or goverr0rships, or are rc.,iir- 'ng from politics.
 Washing on political observ- er7 predict that more than for ty new names are certain to be on the roll. How many mor2 there will be is a sion that re -ts with the voters.

Say U. 5. We'll Advised To
 Follow Leader With Program

Foreign comment on the trend of affairs in America, is usually penetrating and al- ways interesting. For in- stance, the Mining World and Engineering Record, of Lcn- don, voices the following in a recent issue:
 "President Roosevelt is a man of action, and though his plans have been criticised, the feeling is that the American nation is we'll advised to follow man with a program, rather than one who adopts the policy of Mrs. Dora Copperfield, viz, that of living anyhow
 Which is somewhat at vari- ence with the views of a port ly and somewhat obscured gentleman down in Palo Alto, who contends that in fellow :rg MT. Roosevelt the country is likely to lose its traditional liberty and go to the bow-wows generally.

arises when acids are poured over
metal containing arsenic.
The workers who come in contact
with arsenic most often are those
who remove hair from hides; those
who make artificial stones and
enamels; those employed in de-
colorizing glass and crystal; the
workers employed in the preserva-
ton of furs, feathers and skins;
taxidermists who stuff animals;
black or green bronzers; the makers
of insecticides (bug-killing powders
and fluids; those engaged in the
chemical industry and those who
prepare green dyes and paints.
Copper and lead ores contain a
relatively large amount of arsenic.
How Does Arsenical Poisoning Take
Place
If the skin is broken, arsenic may
enter the body through a scratch or
sore. In the majority of cases, how
ever, poisoning takes place by
breathing dust or the vapor from
arsenic compounds or by swallow
ing small quantities of arsenic.

I DON'T know whether you
L have heard about the news
boys strike here in Cleveland.
About 900 of us went out on
strike Monday, May 81. 1t was
about time, too. Forty cents
a day was all we could ever
manage to make. And when you are
the only one in the family that's
working, 40 cents don't go very far.
And some of the fellows sure have
it tough. There's my best friend,
Joey His mothers half blind. with
a cataract on her eye. His pop can't
work any more, taking tickets. He
needs a new artificial leg. His leg
is sore and he's been in bed for
weeks. The kid sister takes care
of the house. joey still goes to
school, and can only sell papers
in the afternoon. 1t amt so bad in
my house. At least no one is sick.
My pop amt worked for a year.
But he looks around and gets
days work once in a while. Mostly
nom counts on the couple of dollars
I bring in to feed pop and four of
us kids. But lately I haven't been
able to do even that.
Now this here strike has been 60
ing along swell. A delegation went
down to see Mayor Davis, but, of
course, he was out. Boy, we had
plenty to tell him. We want more
on each paper sold, and the right
to return unsold copies.
The other day we had big mass
meeting in the square. You should
have been all the cops! Millions OF
them. You'd think we was all Dill
fingers, by the way the police sailed
into us, hinging their clubs around.
Believe me, they don't ticklel Some
of the fellows we're beaten up ter
rible, and they arrested about so
of us. But that's nothin'. At least
rs of us had been in and out of
Jail for one thing or another since
the strike began.
Funny thing happened today.
You know, the truck drivers be-
long to the A. F. of L. You'd think
a real union would try to help us
and support us, and not go against
us. But that's what the A. F. of L.
is doing. The truckmen in their

we do.

'Of workers, factory, engineering
pilot and field operation into one
economic union composed sectionaIly
with one objective. This objective
to be the raising of the economic
status of workers in all phases Of
the aviation industry, each section
to be supported by all in its de-
mands.
The big companies, such as United
Air Transport, Of which Pratt and
Whitney is a subsidiary, use this
system, and through a parent COM
pany control the manufacturing and
air operating companies. The avia-
ton workers must realize that a
chain Of various sectional workers
in any industry, and particularly in
aviation is only as strong as its
weakest link.
No Definite Gains
The workers have returned under
30-day agreement with repre-
sentative of the Boston Regional
Labor Board and the company with
a promise of satisfactory settlement.
Nothing definite as to wages and
recognition has been gained. How
ever, the feeling in the factory is
tense. The workers are jealous Of
their union and a close watch is
kept on those who are not 100 per
cent for the organization.
The workers effectively used their
~,
for instance-During the strike the
boss of the factory cafeteria who
operates the concession, fired a
waiter who walked out in sympathy
with the factory workers When
the strikers returned they discovered
the waiter was not reinstated. The
union held a meeting and decided
to retaliate and boycott the cafe
terra. Workers fetched their lunches
and refused to patronize the cafe
terra.
Another instance-T h ere is
laundry doing a considerable volume
of business laundering workers
overaIls and aprons. This laundry
had large income from the work
erS in the Pratt and Whitney plant
During the strike they were APP
preached by the union for moral
and financial support but they
evaded any definite support. Last
week the laundry representative
called to collect the workers laun-
dry and in a few minutes left empty
handed. The workers had again
struck back.
Although nothing definite had
been gained in the negotiations the
union is solid and it's mistakes are
those of young inexperienced or
ganization lacking finances. Clari-
fication is necessary and such mis-
takes can be corrected by sound or
ganizational activity. The workers
have returned but they are watch
ing future developments keenly.
They realize that the bosses have
won the first round. They we're
able to jar this arrogant company
to full stop and make them listen.
1t will be easier the next time. The
whole situation is full of posi-
bilities. If these workers continue
to build their union and hold their
ranks solid on class struggle lines,
past mistakes can be corrected and
the real foundation laid for a strong
economic militant union that will
eventually benefit all aviation work
ers in the country.

AS ONE AIR-PILOT
TO ANOTHER
by A GROUP OF PILOTS AND MECHANICS =

THE recent aero workers
1 strike in Hartford, which
ended last week, has Jared
the officials of this powerful,
autocratic company. The
spontaneous rebellion of the
workers arose out of the eco
nonlic conditions and low wages.
IN comparison with enormous
profits Of the company exposed in
the last investigation. The workers
decided on Organizational action to
present demands and if necessary
light for improvement in wages and
conditions. The A. F. of L. stepped
in and followed the usual role of
sppropriating the cash for services
promised without any definite pro-
gressive action which soon became
apparent to the workers.
The result was that the workers
formed an independent union with
rank and file control with a worker.
La Vista, a motor builder, as presi-
dent. Pratt and Whitney Aircraft
officials were inclined to smile in
diligently at this effort of the work
ers to organize, but this young in
experienced independent union sur
prised not only the Pratt and Whit
ney Co., but the whole industry. In
the sacred stronghold of the Con-
necticut Yankee with its good old
New England fear of God and the
police, the workers struck. For six
weeks they picketed in spite of the
police, local press and lack of
finances. They learned plenty-so
did Pratt and Whitney Co. The
workers learned the value of COL
lective action as a weapon and the
bosses learned that in the future
such action cannot be ignored by
them.
Lessons Learned from Strike
The wages in the factory for all
classes of work was low, from 40
cents per hour up to approximately
rs cents per hour for highly skilled
labor. The average was low. The
company is wealthy and retained an
arrogant attitude until about 1000
men walked out
After six weeks Of struggle, the
workers returned, They have made
mistakes, learned many lessons, and
their morale is good. 1t is obvious
now that the whole plant should
have struck, including the Chance
Vaught subsidiary, the engineering
staff and the Office force. Although
the engineers expressed their desire
to join the strike, no provision was
made to include them. Inventory
was taken during the strike and
with union consent, number of
workers were allowed into the plant
for this purpose. This was a mis-
take. A complete stoppage is neces-
sary for success. If an emergency
concession is made because of ne
csssity it should be as limited as
possible so that the union can be
soIidly maintained with full sup
port for the strikers. Workers on
the inside are always wedge to
split and break a strike.
The strike also proves the
n &c ssity of organizing the
aviation industry on industrial
lines com bining all classes
