CRAFT UNIONS
ARE BASIS0F
BATTLE
Friends Pitted Against
Each Other; Unions
T axe Varied Views
international News Service

The three million members of
the American Federation of Labor
girded themselves today for per.
hapS the greatest fight within
their ranks.
The fiery John L. Lewis, chief
Of the union miners, pushed for
ward his plans to organize non.
union workers by industries, or to
set up a potentially powerful or
ganization within the Federation.
Executives and members of the
Federation must choose between
the policies of the majority of
the membership favoring continu-
ance of organization by crafts and
Lewis stand that the workers in
the mass production industries be
organized on an industrial basis.
The division within the ranks
has been brewing for several
years. and caused spirited debate
at the Federation's recent con-
vention at which the majority of
the executive council defended
the present policy Of organizing
members by crafts.
Lewis Quits Post
The controversy developed as a
major issue Saturday by Lewis
sudden resignation as a vice pres
tdent of the Federation.
President William Green said
he regretted" Lewis resignation
and that his opinion about in
dustrial organization ,"is along
the lines of the miners" He said
he must apply the broader policies
Of the Federation. He predicted
any new organization within the
Federation will cause division
and discord."
The situation pits two old
friends, Green and Lewis, fight
ing each other to uphold their
policies. Ironically, every time
Green was elected president 1t
was his friend, Lewis, who NOM
mated him. Furthermore Green
carries a card of the United Mine
Workers.
The committee for industrial
organization, which Lewis or
ganized recently to enroll non
union workers in the automobile,
steel, rubber and similar mass
production industries. started its
campaign in earnest today. sup.
ported by the bulging treasury OF
the miners union.
Lewis Wins Backing
Already the following labor or
sanizations, in addition to the
100000 union miners, are behind

one-third of the Federation's
membership:
The International Ladies Gar
ment Workers, membership OF
10000; the Amalgamated Cloth

600; the international Typograph-
ical Union, membership of 10000,
and the following small organ1-
cations: the oil field and gas we'll
employees, the hat and cap makers
and the mine, mill and smelling
workers. :.

McCauley Reports

Fines totaling $4,125.5O were met
ed out to 154 game code viOlatOrS
arrested last month by Washington
state game protectors, according to
figures secured from the report of
Bernard T. McCauley, chief patrol
officer of the game department,
now acting director.
Only $500 of the figure have been
collected to date, however, as many
elected to serve out their fines in
Jail and others were permitted to
pay theirs by inStallments. In
addition to the fines the law
breakers were handed 379 days in
straight Jail sentences during July.
Arrests added up to 157, but
three defendants secured acquittals.
Announcement has been made OF
the leasing Of a 4O-acre farm near
Kennewick, where approximately
1000 pheasants will be held this
winter preparatory to liberation
over the state next spring. The
farm is all in cover crop and under
irrigation, this fitting in with the
retaining farm plan of the game
department.
About $4,000 birds in all are to be
retained over the winter season by
the state game department, accord
ing to present plans.
With SIS $3.50 added last month.
the revenue OF the Washington state
game fund from sale of licenses has
reached $2O5, O50.0O since the first
of the year.
Income from hunters and anglers
licenses last month dropped off to
less than half that of June, when
$35, 697.5c was received from this
source. License sales are not ex-
pected to again become brisk until
just before the fall hunting season.
In 1884 the income from licenses
was $377 ,206.00, so that 1885 sales
must add $172,155 so to the game
fund to equal last years total.

of the loss which was sustained
occurred before the eggs were
Matched. Only ten birds were lost
after Matching. Some of the eggs
were broken by the hen, and in
some cases the hen left the eggs
before they were Matched.

Traces Lineage
OF Fair Princess
Indian Writer Describes Interest
ing History OF Princess
Tonasket's Forebears
BY MOURNING DOVE
Mrs Christine Gallery

Alice Tonasket, the daughter of
Mrs. Joseph Someday of Curlew,
Washington, was recently chosen by
the Colville Indian association of
the Onak district to represent the
Colville Indians at the Okanogan
County and International Fair at
Oroville.
Miss Tonasket is 10 years of age,
and this year graduated from the
Chemawa, Oregon, Indian school,
completing high school and beau
ty culture course. She expects to
take post graduate work this year
after her attendance at the fair as
the Indian Princess.
Miss Tonasket's father was the
late Peter Tonasket. He was the
youngest son of the famous Chief
Tonasket of the historical Nc
Laughlin canyon fight in 1858.
History tells that it was through the
influence of Miss Tonasket's ener-
getic grandfather, Joseph Tonasket,
that the Indian uprising was sub
dued.
Tonasket made a paul Revere
ride from Vernon, B. c., to Nc
Laughlin to stop the Indians from
attacking minors who were enroute
to the gold fields of British Colum-
bia in 1853. Young Tonasket had
influence, because his father, Chief
Moses of the Upper Okanogans, in
habiting the vicinity of what is now
Oroville, was a recognized chief of
that tribe.
Chief Moses of the Okanogans
had cooperated with Chief Ses-cep-
kan and other chiefs to make the
attack, while young Tonasket was
visiting the family of his wife at
Vernon, B. G..
Chief Tonasket had several wives
and the grandmother of Miss Ton
asket, Mrs. John McDougal, is still
living near Republic. The ancestor
of the Princess led an energetic life.
He was the first man to introduce
sheep raising on the Colville Indian
reservation in the early eighties of
the past century. He bought 200
sheep from a man known as Jack
Ingram at Midway, B. G.
The custom officers were scarce
then at the international line, and
news did not travel very fast by
the pack horse route. 1t was one
year later that the custom man at
the Osoyoos office began looking for
Tonasket to pay duty on the sheep
he had previously bought from Jack
Ingram. The sheep had increased
and Tonasket was obliged to pay
duty on all his young stock reared
in the United States. Finding that
the business was not paying him
and the meat not relished by the
Indians, Tonasket began disposing
of his large herd of sheep.
Chief Tonasket was a successful
business man. He was one of the

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Henry Ford. in a letter to Matthew Woll, Vice President of the American Federation of Labor, predicts wages will reach higher levels than ever before because of experienced far sighted industrial management.
 Ford, in his letter, wrote that he nowise had changed his mind about the desirabillty of high wage and said: T believe wages will continue to go higher, not as a result of politics or from purely humanitarian motives but as the result of management that win en- able men to earn more.

 Cooperative Plan
 The Government is asking the various states to assume a greater burden in order to get federal aid, Delegate Dimond pointed out, and the Territory should put itself in the same position, thus Federal officials will feel that residence of Alaska are willing to share in building greater Territory. An expenditure of some million dol- lars is proposed in Congress now to better airplane fields and es- ta5lish new ones, thus greatly inn proplne transportation Road aor- sstruction is carried on in most part by federal funds, it was ex- plained. and should the Territory offer to spend substantial sum, the Government would be more inclined to increase the funds for Alaska.
