IT WAS against this insult to the heroic workers of
Austria and the entire American working class that
the thousands Of workers in the Garden were pro-

on the contrary, in spirit Of united hatred
for the enemies of the working class that the thou

One Of the central demands OF the
strike Is that no seaman shall trim

The strikers are demanding thu

the code presented by Roy Hudson
and delegation Of seamen at the
N. r. A. code hearings in Washing

for the whole code Of the Marine

The 1929 wage scale would give
able seamen $62.50 and $40 for coal
burning firemen. Able searnen are

The strikers are also demanding an

Many Join Union
The union has been prepared for
the strike for about two months, sea
men on the ships being modified
around the unions code, which con-
tains the basic demands Of the str1k-

For a long time the shipowners
have forced the sailors TO trim coal

Strikers declare that this work is
longshore work and should be done
by longshoremen. This company was

The printShop where the Daily
Worker Freiheit, and other reYolu-
tlonary papers are printed is noisy
these days with an additional ham
merino and shIieking. The reason?
The 35-year-old, aged and over
worked press that has printed the
Daily Worker and Freiheit for SO
many years has climaxed It's eventful
life with an almost complete break
down. A shiny. smoothly running
giant of a $4,000 press Is being in
stalled.
1t Is an uneasy career that the old
press Is ending Breakdown after

more repairs time and again, get

ant loss Of circulation; last year it
lost the use Of an entire unit. It was
under the added difficulty OF the

collapsed entirely. 1t has come to

Leaves Funds For
 Unfortunate Miner

An act of kindness and sym pathy of a character seldom recorded is revealed in the an- nouncement that Gustave Ru- dolph, late foreman at the Pre- mier mine, who died recently in Vancouver, apportioned $3,500 of his S11,000 estate to Thomas Robinson, local miner who all but lost the sight of both eyes in an explosion in the Premier mine last year.
 MT. Rudolph, who had no relatives, also left an equal amount for the Stewart gener- al hospital, in addition to be- queathing a quantity of mining stocks of undetermined value to Mrs. J. Crawford, nurse at the Premier mine hospital.
 The bequest to Robinson was an act of kindness which should entitle the deceased miner to special dispensation of happiness in the hereafter. Also it may enable Robinson to recover his eyesight through an operation, which is said to be successfully performed in England; where he plans to go in the near future.

Dr. Carter To Mine Cinnabar

Dr. Charles D. Carter, form CT local dentist who followed mining as a side line, will un- dertake, with others, the devel- opment of the widely known Parks cinnabar properties on the upper kuskokwim river in southwestern Alaska, accord ing to an announcement made by him a few days ago to the Anch 0rage Times.
 Dr. Carter said he and his as- sociates had taken an option on the Parks property, which is To- cated between Georgetown and Sleitmute, and were preparing to do extensive development work to determine the extent and value of the ore bodies.
 The property has been mined at intervals by the owner, E. w. Parks, who has held the ground fer many years.
 Dr. Carter said they are hopeful of proving the proper ty to be of sufficient merit to justify installation of a mill and steady operation under an at present much enlarged de- mand for quicksilver.
