Reception FLOps

A short plump man in an
OGPU uniform came down the
gangplank. His pale, slightly pow
dered face and his disdainfully
pursed lips expressed diSapproba-
ton of the proceedings, as If to
say that he had not expected
quite such an exhibition Of idiocy.
Boksha motioned to the guards,
who quickly disappeared. Vaskov
was embarrassed and whispered
something into BokSha's ear. The
important parsonage slowly pro-
ceeded from the pier to the main
land. The triumphal reception
was a flat failure.
At our office everybody was ex-
cited. The great man, after a
cursory inspection of the work
post, was going to make the
rounds of all departments.
At the work post an even
greater embarrassment awaited
our commanders than at the pier.
A large number of prisoners, who
had for various reasons not gone
to work. were playing football in
the yard.
SaShka, q woman prisoner who
had gone insane, kept step with
the inspecting high commanders.
She was the first to meet them
at the work posts gates, shouting
at the top of her voice: "Ah, the
chief executioner is here!"
What Is this / hear?" asked
Hogan, red with anger.
"An insane prisoner, cOmrade
commander" answered the COM
mander Of the work post.
well, why do you leave her
at large? You ShOul Isolate
her. said Hogan angrily.
"She is the quiet kind, COM
rade commander, she does no
harm. We have several Of them
here, they are all good workers"
Hogan lost his temper. "It
is an outrage" he said. "And
why aren't these prisoners at
work?' Is pointed to the foot
ball players.
"They are sick, cOmrade COM
mander," muttered the scared
commander Of the work post.
He Immediately realized his
blunder.
"These men sick? Do you take
me for an idiot? I'll have you
arrested, then you'll see that it
is to get sick. This Is q Luna
Park and not q wOrwk l ost Of
the OGPU!" Hogan, now really
enraged, turned to BOkSha:
what the hell Is the matter
with all of you here?"

JUNEAU 5 YEARS OLD TODAY.

Today Juneau celebrates the 55th anniversary of it's founding It was August IT. 1880 that Joe Juneau and Richard Harris, made their strike on Gold Greek and brought into existence what is now the town of Juneau which developed into the larg est city in the Territory
 It is far cry from that day in 1880 when the two sturdy pioneers landed on Gastineau Channel while enroute Chilkoot Bay Sitka and struck gold to the modern city of today which is till the greatest gold producing center of Alaska and also the seat of government and commercial metropolis of the North
 Through the trials and tribulations of the typical Alaska frontier town, Juneau has steadily gone ahead, industrally. commercially and culturally. Only landing and small one in 1880, today it boosts the largest gold mine in the world-the Alaska Juneau. It has a modern school system un- exceled anywhere where the children of its approxi mately 7500 residents get the best in education. There are facilities the great steamship lines that ply in northern waters, regular arpane serv to the interior industrial plants of various kinds with affiliate business houses and a fine Federal and Territorial Building housing the Government offices of the Territory marked contrast to 55 years ago when communication and transportation were nil.
 And Juneau will continue to forge ahead. Stra- logically located in the richest mineral section of the North what great changes and advancement another half century will bring Doubtless the day will come when the city will longer be the capital of the Territory but instead the capital of a great State of Alaska.
 Little did Joe Juneau and Richard Harris dream what they were creating when they struck their picks into pay dirt on Gold Creek; city, where they found only a creek flowing down the noun tain side.

THE PERSONIFICATION OF
 UNCLE SAM.

There are a great many things which endeared Will Rogers who met an untimely end at Point Barrow, to the American people. His homey humor, ability as an actor and comedian. writer of merit and true sportsman, all played part in making this man, struck down by death at the height of his career, idol of men, women and children.
 But Rogers something more-he was, in a few words, the personification of Uncle Sam. Here was in life the character par excellence of old Uncle Sam himself-the high boots, red, white and blue suit tall hat on the back of his head and perhaps wisp of hay in the corner of his mouth scratch ing his head The cartoonist's conception of Uncle sam whom we have all learned to know. That was Will Rogers-a man of the people An American of the first water Not since Lincoln has another so well fitted that picture of Uncle Sam nor so entirely won the hearts of Americans in all walks of life
 Possibly the best example Of Rogers great Amer icanism is found in his comment when re- ferring to his Indian blood. He syly remarked that his ancestors did not come over in the Mayflower but they met the boat

Peace And/Or Justice.
Cincinnati Enquirer)

That favorite device of Legislators, which IS usually most irritating to laymen-the "and/or clause-seems very appropriate when applied to the exists to protect international peace andior justice When it can, it attempts to serve the purpose of both But when one must be sacrificed peace is the first objective, and justice is sacrificed.
 The present status of the Italo-Ethiopian dis pute illustrates the point very well indeed At the outset the League made a serious effort to pursue the ends of justice, and protect Ethiopias terri torial integrity. Having been admitted to member ship as an equal sovereign State Ethiopia was en- titled to every assistance in maintaining her terri tory intact
 But when it became apparent that Italy was determined to strengthen her position in East Africa by war if necessary, and willing to leave the League of Nations and destroy it's usefulness in the process justice had to be laid aside and every effort focused the maintenance ofspeace The ob- jective of the new agreements among three Powers is compromise on lines that will satisfy Italy and still preserve something of Ethiopa's independent status.
 This is an unfortaunte concession for the League to be compelled to make But its strength is only that of its members individually conceived There is no agency at Geneva that act on it's own accord in so vital a matter, without reference to the separate policies of the chief member States. When a choice has to be made, however it un- doubtedly is right that peace should be regarded as the first objective. The cost of war, in terms of human suffering, is too great to risk, even if some of the principles of justice have to be thrown into discard to insure peace.

BLUEBERRIES.

Blueberries have never been known to swim, and you don't dig a mine to get them.
 Yet the innocent blueberry, which grows in wild profusion near Juneau may take a place in the economic life of this community along with fishing and mining At least that is the hope of Committee of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce.
 Plans for a test shipment of bueberries being sent to an important States packing concern this fall were announced at a meeting of the Chamber relative to the commercial value of Juneaus blue berries for jam. At that Chamber session a report made by Mayor Isadore Goldstein that another packing firm had intimated through rep resenatve that visited here recently that it would take all the bueberries that could be packed here as it's present supply from New Hampshire was inadequate
 Those two prospects give good assurance of a possible canning plant for this community; a plant which would add another sizeable payroll for at least three months during the season. If the hopes and good work of the energetic Chamber can produce results, that industrial addition to Juneau may not be the pipe dream that it may at first glance
 For years Juneau menfolk have smiled with pleasant anticipation when friend wife brought out delicious blueberry pie from the kitchen Now it seems, the whole world once more may have occasion to thank Seward for his folly

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 13.-Railroad

road Co-ordinator Eastman told
1000 railway union executives at
their conference at the Hotel Nor

The railroad union executives
stated that Eastmsn's demands will
not change their legislative pro-

told the union heads that the
"sickly" railroad industry cannot
better the workers conditions and
that the rail workers must help the
industry as a whole"
The rail union executives asso-

STEPS TAKEN
TO KILL BONUS
Tricky Compromise Is
Hoped to Stifle the
Mass Demand

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-T h e
first steps in the fight against the
bonus are being prepared as it was
reported yesterday that the House
Ways and Means Committee would
report the Patman Bill without any
recommendation.
Thus, the committee members, al
though eager to block the measure,
are too fearful of openly recon-
mending its defeat.
1t is felt that Roosevelt, unable
to ignore the tremendous pressure
from the starving veterans and the
workers, will have to resort to some
Find of tricky compromise in order
to avoid direct veto, which itself
is not impossible. Roosevelt is de-
termined that the Government shall
have no trouble in paying the Wall
rtSeet banks the billion dollars due
on the government debt every IL
months. This is close to the amount
needed by the veterans.
Immense pressure is being put on
Congress by such capitalist bodies
as the United States Chamber OF
Commerce for the defeat of the
bonus, which this week sent every
member letter demanding action
against the measure.
1t is felt that a presidential veto
would be over-ridden in the House
but that the Senate would back
Roosevelt against the veterans, hun
dreds of thousands of whom are
penniless.

We Ask You to Help again.
Is ScOttsbOro Mothers Plea
Funds Urgent to Bring
Appeal to the U. S.
Supreme Court
BY MRS. JAMIE PATTERSON
and MRS. IDA NORRIS

We are the mothers of the two
Scottsboro boys Haywood Patter-
son and Clarence Norris that have
been given a new hearing by the
Supreme Court. We have JOY in our
hearts for this decision, but we still
have sadness also. Because the boys
are not yet free. There is much
more work that has to be done, so
much more work, before our boys
can go free.
So we are turning to the readers
of the Daily Worker. We know you
are with our boys. We remember
how the Daily Worker came to our
help in those dark days when our
boys were framed and it seemed like
no one would lift hand to help
US; people would only lift hand
against us to burn our boys.
We remember that it was the
Daily Worker that came out first
showing how this was a dirty
frame-up, how the boys had done
nothing at all, had only been out
of work boys looking for a job to
do. And ever since those days the
Daily Worker has stuck by us, and
the Daily Workers readers, who
know the truth.
We are asking through the Daily
Worker for you people to help. You
have helped so often, but now we
have to ask you to help again. Be-
cause the hearing is before the
Supreme Court and they will decide
if the boys are to have a new trial.
And for that we have to have
money for the briefs and all the
legal steps and for the mass move
ment to continue that has saved
our boys for almost four years. We
can't let the Scottsboro fight do
down now. So we ask, please help
by sending money to the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, at 80 East
18th Street, New York City.
