MESSAGE FROM SHEPARD

To the voters of Wrangell Dis
trict:
As a resident of the Territory for
81 years, having served term in
the session of 1923 Legislature
and having filled practically every
office under City government | feel
that l am qualified to judge the
wants and needs of our Division
possibly better than others seeking
nomination who are not familiar
with local conditions. In the employ
ment of labor whether by the Gov
eminent, Civic, Fisheries or other
wise, preference at all times should
be given Alaskan residents, regard
less of race or color, to the eXclu-
sion of "Outside Labor" the same
applies in the matter of the pur-
chase and use of Alaskan materials
for construction and other usages.
As a Past Grand President of the
Pioneers Organization of Alaska, the
welfare and happiness of the Pho
neer is uppermost in my thoughts,
the same consideration should be
accorded Women Pioneers as re-
CARDS housing and pension allow
ance.
believe those best fitted to rep
resent our Division should be Sc
lected regardless of political affilia-
ton; those upon whom we may de-
pend to watch and guard our inter
ests. 1 believe in Home Rule to the
extent that we should be given con-
troll over our Fisheries, Fur, Game
and other local matters.
All citizens within our jurisdic-
ton are entitled equal rights and
privileges, subject only to the con-
ditions and limitations established
by law, applicable alike to citizens
of every race and color regardless of
any previous condition of serVitude.
If elected l will carry out promises
made.
| whole-heartedly believe in the
enactment of a Community Proper
ty" law.
Respectfully, H. R. Shepard

lected, he told Chamber members to
assure them that it is planned to
give all like treatment.
However, he said, it is not the
plan to remove by ECW labor de-
bris which has been deposited on
the right of way by homesiters in
the process of clearing their lots.
On the right of way outside the
Forest boundary the clearing has
been limited, he stated, to the width
of the right of way and, so far.
ECW labor has been refused to clean
privately owned grounds except
where it is for the purpose of com

Wild Fowl Season
After a discussion of the unsatis-
factory season for wild fowl hunt
ing it was proposed that an attempt
be made to have Wrangell and
Petersburg reach an agreement as
To the best dates for the open sea-
son and present their request
through the Juneau office to the
Biological Survey at Washington in
an effort to have the present regu-
lations liberalized.
Arguments were repeated from
former meetings as to the injustice
of curtailing the bird season for
Alaskans as has been done for the
past three years. On motion the
chair was asked to appoint a COM
mittee headed by himself to take
steps toward more reasonable wild
fowl regulations being promulgated
for Alaska. Mr.. Kirkland asked
Charles Benjamin and F. G. Han
ford to serve with him on the com
mittee.
Changes in Fur Season
G. H. Tozier addressed the club
briefly. He said he was glad to be
back in Wrangell and see so many
familiar faces and glad of the
friendly GREETINGS extended to him.
He expressed his approval of the
efforts under way by the Wrangell
chamber to have the seasons on fur
changed. He mentioned beaver par
ticularly and the difficulty with
which those animals were taken
during the southeast Alaska season.
Beaver skins, he said, are prime to
June and best in April. He advocat-
ed spring trapping season on bea-

Workers in Bilbao
Strike to Defend
Communist Party
30, 600 Madrid Building
Workers Walk Out;
Police Kill One

MADRID, Feb. IL. - Capitalist
press reports from Bilbao estimate
that more than one-fifth of the
workers of that city have responded
to a strike call by the Communist
Party against suppressive measures
Of the Lerroux government.
In Madrid, 10000 building trades
workers are on strike against low pay
and intolerable conditions.
Civil guards killed one worker and
wounded several in an attack on a
picket line at the Portugalete railroad
station in Bilbao.
The Lerroux government, repre-
senting the most reactionary elements
in Spain, has brought out all its
armed forces against the strikers,
recognizing that they represent a
deep-going unrest and indignation
among the workers and peasants, who
have been robbed Of the last fruits of
the 1881 revolution, and subjected to
increasing unemployment, wage-cutS,
and taxes.
The Socialist Party, which ushered
in the reaction through its treachery
to the working class and its sup
preston of all militant struggle
against the reaction, is now raising
vague revolutionary" slogans in an
attempt to strengthen its waning
influence.

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 12.-Roused
INTO action against the efforts Of
Grand Lcdge officers to take die
tatorial authority In settling disputes
If railroad workers on the Chicago g.
North Western, a move has gotten
under way by the rank and file to
demand no settlement Of the thou
sand grievances AGAINST the company
without a referendum vote.
Ballots were sent to $4,000 @. &
N. w. workers recently, ostensibly for
a strike vote. But the ballots were
SO worded that if the men voted for
strike, all power of settlement was
lodged in the hands of the officials,
giving them the right to make any
settlement they saw fit.
An article exposing this trick and
putting forward the real demands of
the railroad workers was published
in last Saturdays Daily Worker and
widely distributed among railroad
workers.
Two Of the largest Chicago Lodges,
carmen S Lodge zlI anu d Train
mems Lodge, have already endorsed
resolutions of protest to their grand
lodge insisting that no final settle
'nent be reached without consent Of
The membership.
So great is the distrust Of the grand
lodge officers that one lodge has
voted to demand the right of the
rank and file to have representation
in counting the ballots.
1t is expected that the most i'm
portant Chicago lodges will follow
suit.
The splitting tactics Of the officials
is seen in the omission Of the ma
chinists' grievances from those listed
in the strike ballot.
The strike move Of the G. g. N. w.
railway workers is spreading to other
roads, based on hundreds OF griev-
ances Of speed-up, violation Of SEN
iority rights, and wholesale, under
handed pay slashes.

Leaders Split
Calf. S. p.
Third of Delegates Bolt
When United Front
Offer Is Rejected

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Feb. u. -
The California Convention of the So
cialist Party split here Saturday when
over 80 delegates and many alter
mates and their supporters, constitut-
ing one-third of the entire convention
bolted.
The issue bringing the split was the
refusal of the reactionaries to hear
the Communist Party delegation with
united front proposal on a five point
program.
The split occurred after six hours
Of bitter discussion wherein the re-
dictionary dominating clique Of
lawyers and preachers refused pleas
Of the delegates for a fair hearing Of
vital workingclass issues.
The misleaders then began fight
among themselves for nominations
for public Offices which they an
nounced as "the most important bust
ness of the convention"
S. P. Leaders Pack Convention.
This fight came as the end Of a
long battle, with the controlling
clique packing the convention with
fake delegates and unseating IA left
wing delegates, including three ex-
PEELED Socialist Party locals.
Delegates who split off declared the
convention unrepresentative and
warmly greeted the Communist Party
proposal for united front, made in
the speech of Sam Darcy They es-
tablished machinery to carry the fight
to the locals and to establish united
front actions.
