Strike Hurts Leading
 Industry In Alaska

The difficulty of getting satisfae- tory supplies and toodstuffs which Alaskan women are encountering as a result of the maritime strike is not the only influence on the Territory of the prolonged tie-up of Pacific Coast shipping according to Captain A. E. Lathrop, of Cordoya.
 Sales of Canned Salmon, the ter ritory's leading product and chief source of tax revenues, have virtual ly stopped" Captain Lathrop said, During this November, only 25. 300 cases of Canned Salmon were sold in this industry. Nearly five times this amount was sold during the same month a year ago. when strike conditions did not exist. In addition to the paralysis of selling operations, more than a quarter of million cases are strike bound in ships in other ports This cargo is already sold to wholesalers and job bers, but cannot be unloaded from ships to be sold to consumers.
 A real danger to the Salmon h. dustry and the residents of Alaska who are dependent upon it for their livelihood will arise when stocks of Canned Salmon in grocery stores are used up. The Canned Salmon In dustry is spending thousands of dol lars in advertising to housewives 10 get them in the habit of serving this product regularly.
 This campaign has shown re- suits, but if housewives once get out of the habit, or cannot buy sal mon when they want it, the bene- fits of the advertising will be de- stroyed" Captain Lathrop continued. "A rece t survey showed that deal CTS stocks of Canned Salmon were not exceptionally large. If their stocks cannot be replenished as housewives buy the product at their stores, the Industry is in danger of going into the next pack with a huge unsold volume left from the 1926 pack. This of course would mean that the 1887 pack value would be depressed, and profitable operation impossible.
 Right now the terminals areI choked with Canned Salmon which, cannot be shipped to market. Whilel the industry has less salmon unsold now than 1t had a year ago, the beneficial effects of the large sales ldst summer will soon be lost if the
 .e-up continues"

 Badminton is played somewhat like lawn tennis, except that the ball which is called the shuttlecock, is 1eathered at the end with from seventeen to thirty light water proofed feathers and the racquet is lighter than the one used in tennis.
 1t has been stated that there is more exercise in one good set of badminton than in three sets of tennis. It is faster and takes every muscle into play during the game.

UNION ALLOWS UNLOADING
 FOOD SUPPLIES AT C0RDOVA

Cordova, one of the hardest hit towns in Alaska in the past few months by the present maritime strike and the previous long drawn out local strike, on Monday received seven tons of food discharged under special dispensation from Seattle headquarters by local longshore- men from the steamer Starr.
 The Starr was recently lowed to Cordova by the Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa from Seward where 1t had been anchoraged in the stream when the crew walked off the ship at the start of the maritime strike.
 Townspeople also found brief sur cease from a diet of brown bread when a local bakery borrowed half ton of white flour from Chitina.
 A survey conducted by V. G. Vance showed that on Monday there were 65 persons in Cordova waiting passage to the states on the first available steamer.

GIVES ORDERS TO
 GOVT BOAT

A radiogram from the union at Seattle forbidding the crew of the government boat North Star to load southbound cargo was received at Petersburg and as a consequence the vessel refused further cargo there and would take nothing aboard al Wraugell. Notwithstanding th fact that the crew are government employees they deemed it wiser not To antagonize the unions by loading against their orders.
 The next day a telegram signed Nrangeu Chamber of Commerce was sent to Governor John Troy at Juneau. II read as follows
 "Wrangeu requests that you
 endeayor to secure relief to crab
 and shrimp canueries for ship
 ment of their product on Che
 Arctic and General Gorgas and

 A similar telegram was sent 10 Delegate Dimond asking him 10 in teryiew Secretary Frances Perkins for transportation relief and the aid of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce also was requested.
 The last shipment of shrimp and crab meat in cold pack was taken south on Thanksgiving Day by Tony Saari on the gasboat Daisy 0. The Cold Storage now has 90 boxes of shrimp meat, total weight of nine tons, and no amount of ingenuity can squeeze in much more until some of the storage stocks are moved

BARLOW AND FOX HAVE ROUGH TRIP HOME FROM TROLLERS, COOP MEETING

Andrew Barlow and William Fox returned Tuesday from the conven- ton at Ketchikan Of the trollers and the Coop. Barlow is local di- rector of the Alaska Trollers Asso- citation and a member of the board of directors of the Alaska Trollers Cooperative Marketing Association, Fox is port delegate of the A. T. A. and was elected at a recent meeting as delegate from Wrangell to the convention.
 The return trip was made on the Pelican, with Capt. Chas. Raatiken- en, owner, at the wheel. The Pelican is a 55-foot boat, powered with a A h. D. diesel engine and is used as packer for the Coop at Sitka. The two Sitka delegates Frank Ganz and Bob De Armond, were aboard.
 Rough Trip
 The trip was described hy Fox as being the toughest he has ever made in Alaskan waters. It it had not been for the confident bearing of the captain, he freely acknowledges he would have died of fright. A gale was blowing at their back and as the big combers broke on the stern the impact would slue the boat around. Had Capt RaatikeEen not been able to hold the wheel to catch the next sea the boat would most certainly have gone down. For hours it seemed that the wind lashed the waves until there was more water above them than underneath. There was nothing to do but keep on after they got into the storm. They left Myers Chuck on their port, with the sWells so big that they did not dare to try crossing to anchorage for fear they might ground putting in.
 After reaching Point Lemesuier the going was much smoother and Barlow took the wheel and piloted the boat through limoyia straits into Wrangell harbor
 The Alaska Trollers Association has 1900 members in southeast AL aska with bases at Sitka, Juneau, Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchi- kan. The Coop is the marketing as- sociation for the trollers. The two organizations are separate. 4 troll CT may be a member of the A. T. A. and not of the Coop. However, un- less he signs a Coop rontrart. he GCes not share in the price protec- ton on the fish he catches.
 Affihation Rejected
 Many matters of importance came before the convention for discus sion. The trollers turned down the proposal to affiliate with the Am erican Federation of Labor, which is being advocated chiefly by some of the seiners who believe that through utilization they can force fish traps out of existence.
 They contend that by declaring trap fish hot cargo, they can tie up all transportation of canned, fresh or frozen fish from traps and no cannery would dare use trap

fish.
 The trollers convention decided that as their interests are not re- lated to organized labor, being a CO., operative movement to cope with special conditions found in south east Alaska, they would not af- filiate with any organization.
 Restricted Facilities
 "The Coop plans to market fish at WrangeI the coming season the same as last year" states MT Bar low. We will have to send the greater part of the fish to Ketch . ikan on account of the restricted facilities at the Wrangell Cold stor- age, but will market all we can here"
 Until adequate storage is avail able at Wrangell to take care oi the districts including Point Baker, Pole Anchorage. Snow Pass and Cor onation island, Wrangell fish, and fishermen's supplies will have to continue building up Ketehikan.
 Fox was greatly impressed by the fine facilities Ketchikan offers the mosquito fleet in Thomas Basin. Three floats branch off from a main float. he said. All are kept in fine shape. well lighted and with ire auent water hydrants. Lights are inexpensive running from one to three dollars a month. For three dollars a boat may plug in to an extension service of two light units and electric heater. A watchman is on duty to maintain order and act as traffic cop in the basin. Boats are nosed in to the floats like autos parked in a city, he said, and the businessmen of Ketchikan realize what the fishermen mean to the town. Mir Fox was informed that 500 gasboats are now wintering at Thomas Basin.
 Wrangell Fishermen
 On all sides, he said, he found himself shaking hands with Wran- gell district fishermen who were wintering in Ketchikan because of the greater comfort afforded there.
 They step off their gasboats directly onto float. and in contrast told of the night the Pel- jean got into Wrangell. It was dark and cold. he said. The boat tied up to the breakwater float but the three Sitka men aboard preferred to stay on the boat rather than walk around the bay into town. Barlow and Fox rowed across to the row boat float near the Boardway can nery. The tide was out, so they had to wade through the dark and mud to tie up the skiff and chance it's being there on their return. Just because they are accustomed to such procedure at Wrangell did not make them any happier abou. it.
 The unfortunate part is that the natural harbor at Wrangeli is very much superior to that of Ketchikan but the latter town has through proper dredging and float construc- tion, built accommodations for the fishermen.

The Seasons Greetings, friends of the Wrangell Wringer! When mak ing out your list of Christmas gifts do remember to send the Wringer writer a nice bunch of scandalous items about the folks you love best. Thanks.
 Ed Quinn, of the Quinn Trans portation Company, We hear, was quite disturbed Wednesday morning when he found that three reindeer carcasses which he had purchased the previous night for customers. had evidently experienced rein carnation of spirit and walked off the dock where he had left them. After some high class detectivating he came to the conclusion that they had been loaded back on the North Star, so he kept the short waves dancing with radiograms sent to numerous friends who have in fluence including officials of his home town in the Irish Free State and not forgetting Mr. David Wind sor. Ed1l get those deer back, be- gorra, or he'll know why.
 After two months hard labor George Bidwell last week completed a hand trolling boat that is dandy; as nearly ideal for a troller as you would ever find. But was his face red and then some when he found he couldn't get the boat out of his basement where building op- erations were carried on. It won't go through the doors or windows no matter how manipulated. And the basement is of concrete walls and floor with well finished ceiling and expensive hardwood floors overhead. He needs advice
 Doc Shell who usually chooses a public place for his beauty sleep, grew negligent one day this week and went to sleep while out hand trolling in the harbor. The wind waited him onto the breakwater where the bump rudely awaken d him. Good thing the wind did not take him out in the great open spaces of the Pacific.
 
 Leonard Campbell says that while on his recent trip down the Pacific Coast, he decided one night to forego night clubs and soak up a little cul- ture to bring back home. So he went to a lecture An old man held down the platform and kept using the term geology" in reference to a study of park wild life, Leonard says he was not fooled for one minute. He knew the professor meant meek ology."
 We understand that folks who want to contribute to the Christmas baskets, a most worthy project car ried ou in Wrangell for the past seven years, are asked to notify p. L. Stump. You might just as well dig up, folks, and notify the gen tleman at once. Otherwise you will be notified by him that your memory is getting pretty doggone poor. And Park is apt to match your poor mem ory by forgetting you always give a dollar and will expect two or three dollars. So you'd better get to him first for it will sure cost more il he has to come and get it. We know from experience what were talking about!

CHICAGO, September 5.-America's

figured.
The weekend Labor day holiday
period, they estimated, would add 300
highway deaths to the total for the
year thus far, already calculated at
considerably above the 10000 mark.
The statisticians said the week end
total would include both those killed
outright or few hours after acci-
dents and those whose injuries result
fatally weeks later.
"The Labor day holiday usually
brings the peak passenger traffic of
the year." said a council spokesman
THAT Is because many workers who
do not leave their tasks on other
holidays observe the first Monday of
September.
The statisticians estimated 81 ,000,-

FASCISM-
The two great elements in Fascism
are the idea of the COOPERATIVE
STATE, and TOTALITARIANISM
The Cooperative idea seems to
be borrowed from the Syndicalists, but
with one important variation. The
Syndicalists would have eliminated
capital entirely and placed the work.
ers' unions in control. Fascism puts
the control jointly in the hands Of
CAPITALISTS and WORKERS. Or
ganized in corporations. The central
government is to consist of representa-
tives from each industry, both capi-

This FUNCTIONAL REPRESENTA-
TION replaces the geographical repre-
sentation found in such countries as
the United States.
Here, If the same idea obtained,
instead Of representatives from Mary
land, Virginia and New York, we would
have representatives from the auto
mobile industry, the textile industry
and the public utilities, in Congress.
Under the FASCIST system, the
STATE would have the final author
ity, acting as arbiter between owners
and workers in any industry, and set
tling disputes between groups.
