NEED BOAT CLEANLINESS
 STRESSED BY PURSE SEINER

The income of Alaska fishermen depends not on the amount of sal mon sold to the cannery but oa the amount of the packed product bought by American bGusewiye~, says Phil Green, President of the Purse Seine Boat Owners Associa- ti0n
 The fisherman may think his money comes from the packer. but the packer has to get the funds to pay fishermen and cannery help by selling the product to consum- ers," Green declared "Tno packer can only keep on selling Canned Salmon to American women if it's high quality is rigidly maintained. Poor fish in the can loses custom CTS, and threatens the life of the industry already attacked by the steadily increasing sale of cheap varieties of other fish.
 Tt is up to everyone connected with the salmon business, fisher men, tender crews, glli netters, cannery workers and packers, to do everything possible to keep Al aska Canned Salmon a premium quality food This is the only way to protect a steady market for our chief natural resource.
 "Fishermen and boat crews can do their part to stabilize the mar ket and their future employment by taking every precaution to make certain that the fish are delivered to the cannery fresh and sweet. |, the cannery receives fresh fish in good condition promptly after catching, the canned product vii be high quality. The purchaser will be satisfied, and will buy Canned Salmon more often.

 The action of the credentials com mittee affirmed the ruling of the national committee.
 In arguing the case. White of Juneau attacked the party loyalty of the H. L. Faulkner group He said, they had done nothing for the party in the past four years. D
 Faulkner contended that the White delegation forced the unit rule on the First division delegates in the Alaskan convention without authority.

.HerndOn On Inspection
 Trip Of Radio Stations

l.. c. Herndon, federal inspector in charge of the ] 4th Radio Dis trict, was aboard the Alaska last night on a trip of inspection to the commercial radio stations in Alas kka. He has no connection with the radio stations of the Alaska Com municatiOns System. There are now some 300 radio stations of various classes in Alaska, not including amateur or government stations. he stated.
 The number of stations now !n Alaska shows a tremendous in- crease during the past few years and indicates that before long the number may be as high as a thou sand. Mir HerndOn said. It is this increasing importance of Alaska on the radio map that brings him to Alaska, he said. to make a study of conditions. This is the first suc'l visit by a radio inspector, but MT. Herndon said he expects hereafter to make an annual trip north.
 He brought out the fact that the average person thinks Of radio Cnly as a means of broadcasting whereas the broadcasting stations provide only a small part of the total. h Alaska, extensive use is being made of radio now to com nunicate between canneries and cannery tenders. Airways and air plane stations also have increased in the Territory, he said

HOT WEATHER NELTS SNOW,
 GLACIERS. CAUSES FLOOD DAMAGE

The Hazel B No. ?, flagship of the Harrington Transportation gompany's fleet operating on the stikine. which left here for Tele- graph Creek on May 29. returned On June s. being seven days over due
 The trip upriver Captain Bar rington said on his return here, went we'll until May goth. The water was at a good stage but the extremely warm weather pre- saged high water in the upper reaches
 The Number arrived at the foot of the Stikine Canyon, about loo miles from the mouth of the river, On time and tied up for the night as part of the regular routine. The drift that night. said Captain Harrington started coming down in roaring flood waters. the river running bank full. The boat, with twenty five persons. passengers and crew. aboard. was caught in a side eddy and for seven days could not get through as the logs and general drift carried by the waters filled the narrow canyon. When passage was Giually nego- tiated. instead of the usual fifteen minutes. an hour and fifteen min utes was required to make the half-mile canyon run, and only a strong. well built boat like the Hazel B No. could have with stood the battering of the rushing currents and the onslaught of drift and snags still coming down.
 Placer Camp Struck
 On reaching the Clearwater. one of the main tributaries of the stikine Captain Hill Harrington contacted his brother Captain Sid Harrington, charge of the Bar rington placer properties on the Clearwater. Captain Sid reported that the flood waters struck camp suddenly at midnight of the thir- tieth, a tenfoot wall of water com ing down the Clearwater canyon. The men had time only to get to upper ground and to save the main equipment, dragline, trucks and pumps.
 All of this seasons work, the new wing dam, a big amount of equipment and eiuice boxes were washed out the damages amount ing to about $500O. Nine feet of water covered the road leading to camp frcm the head of navigation on the river and washed it away. The most serious loss to the com 2any. however. lies in the fact that the short producing season was fur ther shortened. Captain Sid started immediately making another camp and getting out logs for another wing dam but it will be around July 15 before the camp can be put in readiness for gold recovery operations

Housing Shortage Facts

I'VE have seen that if private
building is to supply the nations
homes" the Survey says, rents
and home values must be high
enough, compared with costs, to
make building profitable. But if
rents and home values are high,
how can workers have decent
homes? These are the essential
points to be kept in mind as we
consider the present housing prob
lem.
America is today faced with a
very serious housing shortage,
which, if not remedied within a few
years, will mean that millions of
families must live in the sordid,
unhealthy surroundings which
breed illness and crime.
Looking forward to 1945, au-
thorities make the following very
conservative estimate of new homes
needed: To replace houses now
not fit to live in, 3A million; fur
Their replacement from 1886 to 1945,
another 3A million; to provide for
new families who will start homes
between now and 1945, nearly ga
million; total IS, 1876, 900 new homes.
ITO keep up with the need then,
we should build 100000 new
homes each year from now until
1945. This would be an unprece-
dented volume of building, for the
largest number of homes ever built
by private industry in one year was
100000 in 1928, and the average for
1920 was $4,000 yearly. In 1895
we built only about 100000 new
homes. Can the industry supply
the nations need?

CLIO STRIFE WILL HEAL
EVENTUALLY, OPINION
BY Federated Press

TACOMA, Wash.-(FP)-"It is
difficult to regard without misgiv-
ing the suspension of what may be
40 per cent of the membership of
the American Federation of Labor
or to appraise the consequences of
such drastic action ed~itorially de-
elares the Tacoma Labor Advocate.
The paper is the official organ of
the Tacoma Central Labor Council
of the A. F. of L. and of all unions
of the city. It's editor, John Nc
Givney, is chairman of the board of
Federated Press. Continuing COM
ment on the c. l.. o. unions sus-
pension, effective September 5, the
Labor Advocate says:
1T is also difficult to understand
why such action was taken by the
executive council whose powers
we're subject to challenge in the
premises by the c. I. o. instead of
awaiting action by the convention
about whose authority there could
be no doubts.
president Green declares that
this is not a fight between indus
trialistm and craft unions. Tech
nically no doubt that is true. But
at bottom the real basis for the diff
ferenses that prevail is to be found
in the antagonistic viewpoints of the
industrial unionists and those who
favor craft unions. 1t is true that
the A. F. of L. has had affiliates
which were industrialists and
which were craft. But the ten
dency has been to eliminate the in
dustrialist idea rather than to IA
vor it.
Our own belief is that after a
period of bitterness and pickering
and rival efforts a compromise will
be eventually reached somehow,
someway, sometime"

Profit Blocks Building

1--WE come now to a real difficulty
the profit in home building.
"It is estimated that to build new
homes, either for rent or for sale,
for families who have incomes I'M
der $500 a year in the North and
West or $1,000 in the South is not
profitable.
"The Commerce Departments
Financial Survey of Urban Housing
in 1888 showed that two-thirds of
American families have incomes be-
low this level. Even if prosperity
should lift workers incomes to the

Jobs for 3,5OO,OOO

Pointing out that in June, 1885, of
the 100000 workers who nor
mally depend on the building in
dustry for their living" only 1,000,-
900 had jobs, leaving 10000 0 still
unemployed, the Survey declared
that "by building all the new homes
America needs, we can give work
in building to all who normally de-
pend on it and also to 1000, 900
others who need work and cannot
find it." adding:
'The significance to our country
of such a program can hardly be
overestimated. A nation can have
no greater asset than a good home
for every family. Give a family a
good house and you have taken a
first step in lifting them to a
higher level of living. Shall
American housing be a lifting force
or a downward drag on her peo-
pie? Citizens will have a chance to
answer this among other questions
through the next Congress"

Emphasis On Ari To Be
Planned by u. Head

State University, Missoula.
(Special)-Plans for the broaden
ing of the art department and the
strengthening of its courses are be-
ing made by Professor George Up
hantis, chairmansof that department
at Montana State university. Pro-
fessor Yphantis says that "since
every college and university in the
country is strengthening its art divi-
sion, we at Montana should take
steps to broaden courses and to pro-
vide more training for students"
The quality of work done by stu
dents in the department has attract
ed a great deal of attention this
year, Professor Yphantis says, But
we need as fine a field as possible
in which the instincts of these stu
dents can blossom. There is an in
stinct for art. That instinct must
be developed"
Students in the survey course,
humanties, which is taken by all
freshmen, have heard Professor Up
hantis deliver several lectures on
phases of art, and there are more
than seventy students in the art de-
partment. Not only is he anxious
that his department do its share in
making Montana art conscious, but
he would like his department to help
give the general run of students an
appreciation of art.
The university professor entered
ONE works for display in the Rock
efeller center exhibit a few weeks
ago, while several other western
states were not entered. He is an
xious that the states art be display
ed and become known throughout
the country. I'VE are badly in need
of exhibition space for our own
work." Professor Yphantis says.
Several casts and other parts of
the departments equipment have
been repaired during the past year.
Many slides have been added to its
collection and several facsimiles have
been purchased.
But SO much more could be done
under more favorable circumstan-
ces, he points out. eve can rouse
public attention to the need for de-
veloping sculpture. At present
nothing is done in this field in the
state although the interest for this
art and the feel for wood carving
is unusually strong as can be seen
in the remarkable carving done by
many amateurs"
