BEDEAUX EXPEDITION MAY
 START FROM WRANGELL
(Continued from Page One)

later discovered drowned with his horse.
 Despite these discouraging incl dents the expedition pushed on, but was soon compelled to abandon it's tractors and much of it's equipment, including the radio outfit. Some 200 pack and saddle horses were secured and more men were en- gagged to assist in trail cutting. From this time forward, however, reports of the progress of the expe dition were infrequent, as the only method of communication was by mounted oouriers.
 Advance Party Seen
 Late in September an advance party of trail bls gers under the leadership of Mir Lamark, pro vincial land surveyor, arrived in Telegraph Creek. He had come by way of Sifton Pass, following the height of land between the head waters of the Stikine and the Turnagain to Goldpan creek, and thence by trail to Dease lake. La Mark left his party somewhere be- tween Sifton Pass and Goldpan, and came on alone to Telegraph Creek.
 He reported that the party had encountered severe snowstorm and doubted whether the main ex- petition would make it through this season. Eighteen to twenty inches of snow was general along the height of land, he eaid, and in places the snow was three feet deep. The horses of the party, al- ready emanciated, from hard tra- yelling and poor grazing, were be- ginning to die. LaMark was not at all certain that he would be able to regain the main party at Sifton Pass.
 Bedeaux Turns Back
 It was after LaMark had started back to join his party, and the residents of Telegraph Creek were awaiting news of the expeditions progress, that news broadcast from Vancouver informed the eager listeners that Bedeaux had been compelled to turn back shortly before reaching Sifton Pass. Snow had covered the ground, making it impossible for his horses to graze, the radio said.
 May Start from this End
 Bedeaux had not yet announced his plans for next year but it is generally believed that he will not abandon his attempt. Persons who talked with LaMark in Telegraph Creek were of the impression that the expedition would be resumed next spring, and that there was strong possibility of making the start from Telegraph Creek. .r-r
 Obviously, there are certain ad- vantages in starting at this end. Transportation of equipment and supplies is assured by the Bar rington Transportation company, whose fleet of river boats open the season early in May The 73 miles of auto road which links Telegraph Creek with Dease lake would afford facilities for the expedition for that distance. Horses and men native to the country are available, as well as expert guides who are fa- miliar with the country all the way to Sifton Pass.

w J. Imlach, herring operator at Point Benny, is jubilant over the seasons work, a shipment of 350,000 gallons of oil from the re- duction plant and 1,400 barrels of packed fish marking the latest movement of the busy concern. The total barrel pack of the plant is reported to be around the 17,000 mark, and with market reports at hand indicating a better margin than for years past, the outlook for returns encourage the belief that the seasons output for the season will prove to be good re- hinder of the old days of profit and when rivers of kippered and salted herring ran past ones door. Southeastern herring were not in the main of large commercial size, the best catches being in the south western districes, Prince William Sound Kodiak and Dutch Harbor bringing the best returns. The mar ket has not been glutted, giving operators a break not experienced in seasons past.

A mysterious malady is striking down the foxes owned by Ninilchik farmers, Mrs, Mae Harrington re- ports at Seward, Among those who suffered losses are Mrs. Alyce An derson and Walker Jackinsky. One farmer is reported to have lost nine silver foxes, says the Seward Gate way. The animals are stricken sud- denly, a very short illness follows the fur bearers dying almost in stantly after the first symptonms. The owners are greatly worried over their losses, but Mrs. Har- rington had not heard that they had successfully diagnosed { h e strange and fatal sickness.

German, lying on the floor unconscious in their black smith shop where he was retort- ing gold from a small cleanup. Whether death was occasioned by fumes from the quicksilver used in retorting or by carbon monoxide gas generated by the wood used to make the fire is a matter of con- lecture.

CHICAGO. - Behind the cheap
plaster walls, glaring with bright
paint and light Of flood lamps. Of
concessions at the Century Of Pro-
gress, the class struggle is raging
as workers begin to fight against
vicious exploitation.
Five strikes have been won on
the Fair grounds. At Wings Of a
Century, the ballyhoo pageant for
the railroads; at the Hungarian
Pavilion; on the lagoon boats. and
On sight seeing buses. workers have
struck and won their demands. In
dozens of Fair shows and restau-
rants. however, conditions remain
as rotten as ever.
Discrimination against Negroes is
the rule, but the great majority Of
employees of the Fair and the con-
cession5 suffer from long hours,
speed up, bad food and low wages.
The first strike took place at
Wings Of Century the night be-
fore the show opened. The pageant
uses trains, horses, cars. and many
mechanical devices which require
skilled work, as well as good act
ing. Repeated payless rshearsals
caused the stable men Of the show
to strike and refuse to carry out
last and unnecessary dress re-
hearsal. The rehearsal took place.
but very inefectively, due to the
absence of the horses.
The unorganized actors on the
lot receive a maximum wage Of s18
per week. The number of per-
formances has been increased from
three to four day. Stablemen
and stage hands, who are organ
lied get more than double the pay
of the actors.
In spite of the fact that the
pageant is held on the lake shore,
employees were forbidden to swim
until mass pressure in the form OF
widely circulated petition threat
ening strike forced the bosses to
back down on that rule.

Of the three most militant workers

work and a delegation to the Hun

workers, and a half hour lunch hour
from the Hungarian Village which
had been outstanding in its exploi-

the strike, the boss has cut the
half hour lunch period to 10 min

Farm Credit Administration Cthe
T. C. A.
The first act of the A. A. A. was
to induce cotton farmers to plow
under 10 million acres of nearly
mature cotton. Sharecroppers and
other tenants in rags were forced
by their landlords to destroy 4
billion bales of potential clothing
which they-and others needed
badly.
This was followed by the whole
sale slaughter of 100000 little pigs
under 100 pounds in weight and
100000 sows In both cases the
destruction followed an intensive
campaign by the AAA. in which
every known type Of high pressure
salesmanship was employed.
Plans covering the crop year 1884
call for the removal of millions of
acres from production. Planned
acreage reduction for the four prin-
cipal crops this year is as follows:
corn, 20 million acres; cotton, Is
million acres; wheat, and a half
million acres; and tobacco, one
half million acres.
The contract for corn reduction
! also calls for 25 per cent reduction
in hog farrowirc, or is to 20
million head under the total annual
United States production in recent
years-roughly 10 million hogs.
Further proposals called for 10
| per cent reductions in milk and
butterfat output They also call
for a 100000 reduction in number
of milk cows and a further reduc-
ton in beef cattle.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
| Tugwell explained the long time
acreage reduction program in a
epeech on August 4, 1888, in which
he said: When lands now unfit to
till are removed from cultivation,
something around two million per-
sons will have to be absorbed by
other occupations" The two mil
lion poor farmers referred to in this
speech may well ask what other oc-
cupations can absorb them with
some 100000 still unemployed in
this country
The chapter on Farmers in the
United States" concludes with an
analysis of the F. c. A., Subsistence
Home Farming, the militant farm
ers organizations such as the United
Farmers League, and the farm wage
workers and their struggles.
This chapter is only one of ten in

data on the most important ques-
tions of interest to workers and
farmers in the United States. A
