 Carnival Spirit
 There is one other benefit of the Southeast Alaska Fairs that I believe is worthy of mention, and in which I assume that the present fair will not be deficient-and that is the carnival spirit It is good for people to get together in con siderable numbers and play and dance and otherwise enjoy them selves. People of all walks of life associate here, exchange ideas, wise crack and better - they get ac- quainted.
 This fair management deserves congratulations and thanks for it's educational efforts and for the high class of entertainment it offers the people. I hope the people will show their appreciation by attending the fair in large numbers. And I hope they all have good time and enjoy themselves"

Parents VIII Protest
Transfer of Children
at Meeting Tomorrow

NEW YORK.-A mass meeting to
protest the transfer of 1000 chill
dren out of P. S. IS, the Bronx, to
distant schools situated across dan
gerous intersections will be held
tomorrow evening at $50 O'Clock at
1904 Southern Boulevard. The
meeting was called by Provisional
Committee of Parents elected at a
meeting last Wednesday.
School authorities have consis-
tently refused to hear the protests
of the parents. A delegation of
forty who called on DR.. Campbell,
Superintendent of Schools, to pre-
sent their complaint was not al
lowed to enter the Board of Educa-
ton building. A committee of four
which went upstairs was told that
DR.. Campbell was too busy and was
forcibly elected from the building.
Sentiment of the parents, as ex-
pressed in Wednesdays meeting,
was in favor of refusing to send
their children to any other school
except P. S. IS. Since the transfer
of the children was occasioned by
the need for an annex for James
Monroe High School, the demand
has been raised that the James
Monroe students be given a new

Four-Year Free College
To Be Demanded at NSL
Conference i'm Chicago

CHICAGO, Sept. demands for
a four-year free city college course
in Chicago will be raised at the pre-
liminary conference against educa-
tional retrenchment called by the
National Student League, to be held
Wednesday, p. M, at the Jewish
Peoples Institute.
Every youth organization on the
West Side is being urged to send
delegates to the conference on the
basis of one to every ten members
in the organization.
In July, 1888, Crane College. the
only free city college in Chicago
was closed in accordance with the
retrenchment policy of the city
administration. A protest strike of
students failed to force the Board
of Education to rescind all the cuts
because of the lack of organi-
cation on the part of the students
and youth of Chicago. AS a result
of the protest, however, the Board
promised to establish three Junior
colleges, housing them in already
over-crowded high school buildings
and without necessary equipment.

Highest Death Rate
Among Stable Hands;
Teachers Least Hit

NEW ORLEANS (FP) The eff
feet of a mans job on the length
of his life is revealed in a report
released Saturday by the New Or
leans tuberculosis and Public Health
Association. The highest death rate
from all causes, for working men IS
to 81 years old, was found among
hostlers and stable hands-3622
deaths per l 900 employed. In COM
parison, one of the lowest figures,
269, applied to college professors.
Employees in dusty trades, those
usually exposed to high tempera-
lures, to excessive moisture or to
bad weather conditions generally,
are among the workers subjected
to the greatest risk, according to the
report.
The effect of different standards
of living as implied by certain occu-
pations was also said to be obvious.
The lowest tuberculosis death rate
was found in the highest economic
bracket and the highest in the low

4ERDON TO SPEAK TO N Y YOUTH FOR ANTIWAR CONGRESS
WeirtOn Case
Put Off Once
More by U. S
Company Union Issue
Postponed Three
More Months

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 2. = The
Roosevelt government has just ar
ranged for a postponement of two
to three months in the matter of
fighting" or an injunction to Gre
strain the Weirton Steel Company
from forcing its workers into a
company union.
The suit of the Government
against the Weirton Steel Company,
begun several months ago to quiet
the intense anger of the steel
workers, who had been tricked back
to work by the promises Of Roose-
welt, was to have come up on Sep
TENDER 6. Instead of acting on this
day, the Government has now with
drawn the company union issue
from the courts altogether, and has
decided to let the N. R. A. Labor
Board decide the matter two or
three months from now
1t is significant that the petition
to the Labor Board was not made
by federal attorneys, but by Charl-
ton Ogburn, attorney for the Anal
gamated Association of Iron Steel
and Tin Workers CA. F. of L., who
worked closely with the government
forces to bring about the postpone
ment. The governments instant
withdrawal of the election issue
from the federal suit shows the
connection.
With the help of the National
Steel Board, the government and
the American Federation of Labor
are striving to prove to certain re-
calcitrant elements among the steel
trust that the A. F. of L. unions
can be as efficient as company
unions in betraying the interests of
the workers and unfolding those
of the employers.
The National Labor Board for the
steel industry is thus seen to exist,
not only for the purpose of be-
trsying the workers under election
and arbitration devices, but also to
prove to the steel captains that the
whole doctrine of the New Deal
is a fascist, employers doctrine and
is deserving of their support. Need
less to say, the A. A. leadership is
anxious to go to any lengths In
helping establish this proof.
