ORGANIZED LABOR
 BOYS PLAN DRIVE
President Green Issues Ap- peal for Favorable Ac-
 ton on Amendment

An organized drive by labor groups of Waterbury associated with the American Federation of Labor to "insist upon favorable legislative action" in regard to the child labor amendment to the con- stitution will be made as a result of an appeal by President William Green.
 Every city in the state has been urged to "organize forces, unite efforts tond establish cooperation between all organized groups who are favorable to ratification. of the child labor amendment" Organiz- ations are advised to "drive em- phatically and drive hard for the achievement of this purpose"
 Tt is imperative that we consol- idate the gains made in the aboli- tion of child labor through the adoption of the industrial codes of fair practice, by adopting the child labor amendment" according to MT Green.
 Connecticut is one of 27 states which have thus far failed to ratify the amendment.

HELD BY STORM, N OR I HMESTERN
 REACHES JUNEAU
Snip Loses Anchor in Two Day Blow Between Ko- :
 diak, Seldovia


 Forced to drop s-iicnor twice be- tween Kodiak and Seldovia, the Northwestern arrived, in Juneaus harbor two days behind her sched- ule. She arrived at Pacific Coast dock at 5:30 o'clock and departed, southbound, at 10 o'clock la S | night. ~
 The boat, in riding out the two- day storm, suffered no damage other than lost anchor, and no one was injured, Purser J. E. Hew- it said. Capt Joseph Ramsauer is commanding the vessel.
 The Northwestern carried a full passenger list from westward ports for the south. Twenty mine persons on the ships manifest were bound for Juneau. The complete Juneau list included:
 Prom Kodiak-Marguerite Greg oroff; from Seward-Oscar Hart, William Osbekoff,. Jack Cousins, George Osbekoff, R. D. Peterman, MT. and Mrs. H. E. Barnett, D. M. Bothwen, George E. Brown, MT. and Mrs. Lemon Garner; from Cordova-Alvin Naren, J. F. Dem his, Nels Hermanson, Paul F'oltz, James McAllister, Mike George; from Haines-Mrs. Marjorie Rust sale, Mrs. Ethel Borden; from Skagway-N. A. McEachran, MT. and Mrs. H E. Mulvihill, F. Ne deve, G. s. Lander, MT. and Mrs. c. Nye, MT: and Mrs George Ra- puzzi, F. s. Scobee, E .Madsen and Charles Worth.
 Purser Hewitt said one of the chief reasons for the unusually large passenger list for the south was that the herring season was ended and many boat crews were aboard. %
 The Northwestern's principle car- go item out of Juneau was fish. She took on 90,000 pounds of frozen fish for Vancouver, B. O., here. She had admitted 800 barrels of herring each at Crab Bay and Port Benny.
 After loading concentrates at the Alaska Juneau Mine Company's dock, the Northwestern left for Seattle and way ports with the fol- lowing passenger list from Ju- neau:
 For Petersburg-T. R. Snow, P. Gu1tiano, Charles Wagner, Bill Egan, V. Johanson; for Ketchi- kan-J. B. Fensha, Steven Dahl; for Seattle = Glenn Darlington, Robert Hunter, Estella A. Wolfe, R. c. Novarre, Irving E. Clithers, Tom Rumph, Jr., and Bud Wolf.

A Blessing to the Blind

"A OlSSSluS W tAaS OlA1sU
There are $4,000 men, women, and
children In the United States who
never have seen q daily newspaper.
They are the $4,000 blind whose
reading Is limited to books and maya
zines published In braills and whoss
knowledge Of day by day happenings
in the world depends on what they
are told or what others read to them.
A young New Yorker has announced
that next fall he will establish . daily
newspaper for the blind. The young
man himself Is blind; has been sight
less since he was . years old. With
the assistance Of charitable organize
tons, he continued his schooling, won
scholastic honors and college de-
gree.
The proposed newspaper will be
published In braille. It will contain
advertising as well as news and will
be issued five days q week free to
5000 blind In the middle Atlantic
states. Later 1t is hoped to extend
this number 50 that the newspaper
will reach blind persons everywhere
In the United States and Canada.
There is something singularly ap-
pealing about this effort Of the blind
to aid the blind. To those less handi-
capped it brings renewed realization
of the thousands OF blessings and
advantages so commonly accepted as
to be forgotten.
The young publisher states his OBJ
ject in establishing the newspaper is
to make 1t possible for the sightless
Ito take more active and profitable
part in society,"" The words may
stand as q challenge to those who
can see.
