Russian Massacre On Copper River

The following story told by Ni- colia Offmarninoff, who was of the party of Russians which was almost annihilated by the Copper River Indians over seventy years ago, is e interest to all old-timers. The
 ory has been verified by the form -. Chief Stickwan, who was one of the attacking parties.
 In 1868 small party of Russians were sent out by the fur company, then operating in this section, to explore the interior country adjacent to the Copper River. There were 24 men in the party and they reached the mouth of the river early in the spring while it was still frozen. They had plenty of food and cloth- ing fer years but had no dogs or animals of any kind for hauling their sleds.
 They travelled up the open delta of the river, against frightful storms and with great hardslips until they passed the glaciers and then the river began to show signs of break ing up. The men realized that if they succeeded in making their journey 1t would be necessary to increase their rate of travel.
 A short distance above the rapids they struck the first village of In- dians. It was only a small tribe, and the Russians pressed every ablebodied man in the camp into service as draft animals. Soon after leaving this village the sleds had to be abandoned and the Indians were forced to take enormous loads n back. In this manner the outfit was moved to Taral, where more Indians were forced into the service and as the party moved up along the river, recruits were picked up at each vil- lage.
 They treated the Indians as slaves, often beating them and subjecting them to all manner of indignities. Even though the Indians greatly out numbered the Russians they could make no resistance, for they had been forced to leave. their only weapons, bows and arrows, behind them, and were in great dread of

NEW TRAFFIC BILL
| PASSED IN SENATE
Measure Creating Charge Of
Negligent Homicide Goes
to House.

The Senate today passed the Com
missioners' bill to create q new trafic
offense. negligent homicide" designed
to bring about speedier prosecution in
fatal automobile accidents. The meas
ure still requires action by the House.
The new small loans regulation bill
again was postponed. when Senator
Norris, Republican. Of Nebraska, said
1t was too important to be taken up
on the unanimous consent calendar.
Chairman King of the District COM
mittee declared District offlcials and
local organizations favor the bill. One
objection was sufficient to prevent &C
ton, however, and Senator Norris said
he thought it should be given further
consideration.
The negligent homicide bill Is cop
led from the Michigan law and Is in
tended to take the place Of the charge
of manslaughter in those cases where
the circumstances do not show willful
or wanton carlessness. In urging the
bill, the Commissioners pointed out
that under the present code it Is hard
to get jurieS to convict drivers OF
manslaughter, because Of the heavy
penalty which that offense makes
possible. They also pointed out that
the manslaughter charge leads to de.
lay because 1t requires an indictment
by the grand jury before trial.
Negligent homicide would carry a
lighter genalty. namely, one year i'm
prisonment. or a fine or both. 1t
would speed up disposition Of fatal
accident cases by allowing the coroner
to commit persons either to the Dis
trict Supreme Court or to the Police
Court for trial The bill further pro-
vides that even when a person Is
charged with manslaughter, the jury
could bring in q verdict of negligent
homicide If the members felt the de-
gree of carelessness shown by the
driver was not sufficient to warrant
the higher penalty Of manslaughter.
Another section Of the bill provides
that the speed of the vehicle be con-
sidered in the light of the circum-
stances at the time Of the fatality
thus not excusing or relieving driver
merely because he was driving at a
legal rate of speed when the accident
occurred.

meet at the State house in an effort
to foster a plan to bring Southern
wages up to the New England
standard.
Three New England mills employ
ing $3.50 workers announced they
would close because Of the processing
tax, foreign importations and low
market prices. They were the Berk-
shire Mills Of Adams, employing

R. L, 410.
The National Association Of Cot
ton Manufacturers reported there
were 1874 mills operating in New Eng
land in 1888 and officials estimated
that at least IS Of these had closed
in the last two years.
The associations figures disclosed
208,685 workers were employed in
1928 in contrast to 9l,566 in 1888.
Russell Fisher, secretary of the as
Sociation, declared Northern manu-
facturers were paying sass per worker
week more than Southern mills. al
though the code called for only 81
difference.
Labor leaders, however, generally
have charged that manufacturers
paid minimum wages regardless Of
skill or experience.
Francis j. German. vice president
of the United Textile Workers of
America, speaking at Burlington. VT,
attacked the manufacturers claims.
He declared a solution Of the wage
differential would end distress in New
England and predicted Government
survey on hours and wages ito be re-
leased soon" would prove his con-
tention.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY
REVOLT IS URGED
Official Prefers Jail to Pay
ing Process Tax on
Cotton Goods.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April l5.-The first open
defiance of the administrations cotton
processing tax was voiced today by
James Sinclair. president of the Fall
River Cotton Manufacturers Assocla-
ton, who said: II am willing to go to
Jail for refusal to pay this tax my
self"
Sinclair, who is also treasurer OF
the Charloton Mills IN Fall River,
proposed that Northern and Southern
manufacturers refuse to pay the tax
unless President Roosevelt shows an
inclination to aid the textile industry"
II am in Boston tea party mood"
Sinclair said.
Sinclair's openly-stated defiance OF
the administrations processing tax
was the first expressed by manufac-
turers who are fighting for removal OF
the tax, elimination of the North
South wage differential, establishment
of higher tariff barriers and a solu-
ton for overproduction.
Manufacturers Meet.
Northern manufacturers of cotton
goods responded to a conference call
of the Policy Committee of the Ma
tional Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers today to plan relief for the
industry in New England and its
100000 employees and their families.
Gov. James M. Curley's warning
that unless Government aid is given
- 10 @v,I, at nnf
a spindle will be turning in New Eng
land in six months" sounded the
keynote Of the manufacturers cam
paign against the processing tax,
japanese importations, overproduction
and North-South wage diferentials.
While manufacturers sought abon-
ton of the processing tax and es-
tablishment Of higher tariff barriers
against japanese importations, labor
leaders and Gov. Curley declared
elimination of the wage differential
| would cure the ills of the industry.
The Governor estimated that the
wage differential cost New England
manufacturers $250,000 more per
week for labor than it did Southern
mill men.
Dexter Stevens, vice president Of
the National Association Of Cotton
Manufacturers, representing Northern
manufacturers, was asked to preside
over today's meeting of the associa-
tion's Policy Committee, called to
speed up the relief campaign.
