 This was the opinion voiced here today by Dr. L. P. Dawes, veteran Juneau physician and surgeon, up- on his return after a two-month trip to the States which com bined both a vacation and medi- cal studies at Middle-West clinics.
 Dr. Dawes said that when he left Juneau on September he felt that the prospects of a clinic which for the first time in the history of the city, would unite the medical men in cooperative group, were good.
 The need for such an organiza- ton has been great in Juneau" pr. Dawes said. Whether my colleagues have changed their attitude since September l, I do not know No doubt the medical men will meet in a few days for a conference on this most important proposition"
 For Specialists
 Dr. Dawes emphasized the fact that if such clinic were organ ized, opportunity would be given each physician to specialize. As

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30-More women candidates will battle for high state and national offices this year in the fall elections than in any year in the history of the country.
 There are 80 women running for major posts, for Congress, Cover nor's chairs and other high state offices.
 There are 31 women running for seats in Congress. Four of those are contending for seats in the Senate where Mrs. Hattie w. Cara way of Arkansas still stands as the only elected woman member.
 There are 45 women running for state offices, among them 10 run ming to succeed themselves. The ten are evenly divided between the Republican and Democratic parties.
 Never before have so many women entered the field for politi- cal offices says Mrs. June Fickel, Assistant Director of the Women's Division for the Democratic Nation al Committee Mrs. Fickel has just returned from a tour of states where women are taking leading roles in the elections.
 Government Conscious
 T think women are just becom- ing government conscious" she says. They begin to see a place for themselves. No doubt, the ap- pointment of Frances Perkins and Ruth Bryan Owen contributed a great deal to the impetus which is taking women into the political field so noticeably this fall"
 Pennsylvania, with 10 wom n running for office, has the largest number of feminine candidates for major offices. New York follows with nine, and Illinois and Iowa with eight.
 Curiously, the two states which have had women Governors have only one woman candidate apiece this fall running for any of the more important positions. In Texas, where Mrs. Jim Ma Ferguson is completing her second term as Gov ernor, Bertha Blatt, Socialist, has filed for Superintendent of Public Instruction. In Wyoming, where the director of the mint, Nellie Tayloe Ross, served one term as Governor. Mrs. Katharine A. Nor ton, Republican, the present state Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, is running to succeed herself.

AS ONE AIR-PHOT
TO ANOTHER
=BY GROUP OF PILOTS AND MECHANICS

leighton W. Rogers, executive
president Of the Aeronautical
Chamber Of Commerce, which rep
resents 95 per cent Of the aviation
industry both transport and manu-
factu.ing in its membership, has
made an important transport and
manufacturing in its membership,
has made an important announce
ment. The Chamber will move from
N. Y. c. to Washington. This was
influenced by the fact that over 40
similar institutions are located in
the capital.
Mr.. Rogers states that adequate
representation Of all branches of
the industry make it imperative
that we establish executive offices
in Washington" During the last
year the chamber has negotiated
the aircraft codes and its several
departments will be so arranged as
to facilitate cooperation with the
N. R. A. - The membership can be
best served by locating in the capt.
tails ne.ve center" The aviation
codes presented by the chamber
are a model of sacrifcial service
10 the membership. Sample -
Article 4. Sec. /. No employee
shall be paid less than Is dollars per
week in the North and 13 dollars per
week in the South in places Of
more than $4,000 population-Nor
less than IA dollars per week in The
North and II dollars per week in
the South in places of less than
$4,000 population. - Except that
mechanics licensed by the Depart
ment of Commerce shall be paid
not less than Is dollars per week.
Cd Transport pilots as licensed by
the Department Of Commerce shall
be paid not less than 20 dollars per
week. (E). Limited commercial
pilots as licensed by the Department
Of Commerce shall be paid not less
than Is dollars per week" Mini
mum wages They did swell job
they should-they were we'll paid.
The aviation WORKERS failed TO
appreciate the altruistic efforts OF
the chamber. They went on strike
in a number of places. The result
was the usual one. They were
gassed, dubbed by police. and
viciously attacked in the local press.
The N. R. A. stepped in.-The A.
F. of L. officials were stepped on by
their own locals, who stepped out.
Independent unions started and
are growing-at present aviation
conditions are in turmoil 5000
the chamber moves to Washington,
Events are moving rapidly. The A.
F. of L. is well aware of this and is
looking blue. The N. r. A. eagle
is also feeling as well as looking
blue.
The aviation workers = well-they
don't like blue.
The codes sponsored by the cham
Der have made great many of
them see another color. The
chamber did swell job there be-
cause it is a good colo--and fast.

to Fight Starvation Campaign

The scabs get their pay checks In
the office, so the union miners can't
see what they get Besides this,
the TCI. tells the scabs they have
first choice in everything.
Rev. King Chandler, a fake
preacher, is talking up the company
union, trying to get union men to
drop out Of the union and be scabs.
All the scabs carry guns. Hubbard
Matthews, one of the bully type
scabs, said that if he was COM
pany guard all the union men would
be in hell in 10 minutes. When
city police took him to the COM
pany Office for carrying gun, they
let him go free. Sam Coda and
Tom MCGOWAN, company guards,
testified that Matthews didn't carry
a gun. The union men have seen
his gun several times. This shows
clearly how T.CI. controls the Bes-

them to protect the damn scabs.

like Matthews and Chandler. For
the last meeting they held, the
company kept the camps dark I'M
til the meeting was over, and COM
pany thugs sent union men home
and told them to stay there if they
know what was good for them. The
union men are already talking about
smashing up the company union
and running the scabs off Red
Mountain.
The tasks of the union are to
force the welfare to give more re-
lief, without discrimination against
Negro miners, to strengthen the
union and prepare fight for bet
ter wages, 7-hour day, and union
recognition when the mine starts
work, and to smash the company
union once and for all, and run
the scabs off Red Mountain.
To do this the union must build
the united strength of Negro and
white miners firmer than ever, so
the T.C.I. cannot put over starva-
ton wages and conditions on a
divided working class.
