ALASKAN WORKERS ARE PRO-
 TECTED IN AGREEMENT

Seattle. TprtI 2S-Conrad Espe. business agent for the Cannery Workers union said yesterday chat negotiations between the union and Alaskan cannery operators has re- suited in agreement for a 30 to 40 per cent wage increase. an eight hour day union recognition as the collective bargaining agency and el- imination of labor agents and con tractors
 One Of Last Obstacles
 The agreement removes one of tEe last obstacles to a smooth start of annual salmon canning operations in S E. Alaska. The agreement, which is for all inside caunery workers in the states for work in Alaska, follows agreement made with the Alaska Fishermen's union for all outside workers and with the machinists.
 The only remaining group to be negotiated with is the Purse Sein- CTS union of the Pacific which, it is understood will negotiate jointly with the local Alaskan seiuers.
 The rights of Alaskan workers were protected in both the agree ment with the Alaska Fishermen's union and with the Espe group ac- cording 10 private adviees received today.
 Alaskans Protected
 The cladse protecting Alaskans read as follows. "The union and the employees recognize that the em- ployer may hire men in Alaska ani the union and the employees there fore agree not to discriminate against such employees when and where so hired, regardless of their utilization with the union or their non-union affiliation The employ CTS however, agrees not 10 diseour- age such employees from becoming members of the union."
 As result of the agreement, it is predicted that employment of local people in the Wrangell cannerios will be handled substantially on the same basis as previously

CHAPTER III

Rene Boucher drove his flivver
on in silence and Lynn could
think Of nothing adequate to the
situation. After another 10
minutes Rene turned off the main
highway north, drove down a dirt
road.
II park off the highways. Can't
afford camps. Hope you don't
mind kerosene lamps, don't dare
run my batteries down any more"
he explained. Another 200 feet
and Rene'S yellow trailer doomed
bright in their headlights.
Here we are. You don't mind
roughing it a bit?"
I'm so grateful" Lynn began.
"Cut It'll" he unlocked the door
Of the little house on wheels.
Come on in and I'll show you how
the hunks work."
Lynn did not explain she was
well aware Of trailer living. The
house was hidden among the palm

moon was high now. shedding .
The Washington times., 1937-12-10

Lynn looked at him doubtfulIy.
He was a slim, dark, young man,
but he had kind face.
"Trailer?" Lynn shuddered at
the word. II only she'd never
heard Of a trailer. If only she'd
never gone to work for Mrs. War
rem and agreed to come South
with her.
At least she would feel better
starving in New York than here in
this strange country which was so
beautiful, and so unsympathetic.
It was the end Of the world for
Lynn.
"sure, a trailer. Ever been in
one? They're SWELL"
Lynn did not answer him.
''1'll do the handsome thing, turn
over my bunk to you. I'll sleep in
the fnvver." He banged his hands
down on the steering wheel. I'VE
down-and-outers have got to stick
together"
But you haven't asked me any
questions"
"You haven't asked me any.
You're broke, I'm broke, but I've
got a place to sleep. Simple!"
Then he added by way Of explana-
ton: I'D give you money for a
hotel, but I've got just about
enough to buy gas and grub to
get me back in New York"
He stepped on the starter, but
the car did not move. Finally,
after much cranking, he got it
going and they jerked away UP
the street.
In panic Lynn began to won
der. She couldn't go back to that
tourist camp. Not with this
strange man!
Are you in q Campo"
BEING FOLLOWED
Lord, no; can't afford it. I'm
out in the country" Then they
both lapSed into silence. They
hadn't gone far when Lynn re-
marked:
There's a car following U.s."
II thought that, too" He turned
to Lynn. Anybody likely to take
a pot-Shot at me?"
"Oh, mol" the car was gaining
on them. Lynn was suddenly
afraid. It might be that Austin
coming to demand the dress she'd
stolen! ooh, it might be a man
I'm running away FROM" she said
in a weak voice at last.
"It might, might it?" Rene
roared. Say. what's the idea?"
mo, mol I don't even know
him. but I ran out on party I
didn't like. Please believe mel"
"All right, crawl over in the
back seat and pull my coat over
you, quick"
Lynn had hardly got settled on
the floor in the rear of the car
when Austin's fast automobile
overlook Rene and he blew his
horn.
Hi, there! I want to talk to
you," Wild called. Rene slowed
down.
Seen a stray blonde any
placer" Austin asked. They told
me in that restaurant she left with
you"
Eyes, 7 dropped her at the Y.
w. c. A." Rene called back.
20. K. Thanks" Austin, with
a screech Of brakes, swung his car
about and was gone down the road
again in q flash.
you can come out now," Rene
yelled above the rattle Of his car
as he hurried on in the opposite
direction. Gingerly Lynn climbed
back over into the front seat.
mot that I'm curious, but you
might tell me what this is all
about" Rene remarked.
tits a long story"
$50 I should imagine. But Is
this guy likely to turn out the
gendarmes? don't mind helping
a lady"
How can he come back? How
can he find us?" Lynn asked.
HE found us once, didn't he?
I'm not interested In getting

IT'S BUDGET TINE
IN CALIFORNIA

Now is the time for all good citizens
to come to the aid of their pocketbooks.
BY this weeks end county auditors
will have their preliminary budgets for
the next fiscal year filed with the Clerk
of the board of supervisors.
On or before Tuesday, August 10, the
board of supervisors will scribble its
okay across this preliminary budget.
Public hearings on the budget must
start by Friday, August 20, and will
continue for no more than ten days.
Now here is where Mr.. John Q. Tax
payer land you know at whom we're
pointing our finger) steps into the pic
ture and takes the helm, provided he
is on his toes as he should be.
At these public hearings Mr.. Tax
payer gets his chance not only to de-
mand, ''Who's getting what out of this?"
but also to make plain just what, and
how many-if any at all-new tax boosts
he's going to permit his pocketbook to
be saddled with. These ten days are Mr..
and Mrs. Taxpayers chance to attend
open house with the supervisors and de-
clare their bids
We can all grouse in our chops when
the levies jump up, but NOW is the
time to act.
If we act now, and talk later, we're
apt to receive much more cheerful news
when the postman rings twice and hands
us our tax bill.

WASHINGTON - Herbert Hoover stayed in

WASHINGTON = Herbert Hoover stayed in
New York on his last visit far longer than any
but his closest friends supposed
Holding forth elder statesman OF the
Republican party, he conducted long series
of conferences with party leaders from various
states at his tower apartment at the Waldorf
Hoover sought support for early convention
of somewhere between 2U00 and 10000 party
leaders which would develop conservative Re-
publican policy and at the same time re-eStap-
lish his own power and prestige.
Ex-Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas completely
spoiled the whole party by flatly refusing to
attend any such convention.
This was the latest episode in a Landon-
Hoover feud which began perhaps when Hoover
made his speech at the last Republican conven-
ton and the Landon leaders suspected he was
trying to snatch the nomination from under
their noses.
During the campaign Hoover made two speech
es. Landon didn't want him to make any Lam
don didn't even want to see Hoover after the
nomination and didn't until Roy Roberts OF the
Kansas City Star persuaded him. Landon felt
Hoover was bad medicine for the party and
Hoover felt insulted at his attitude.
Landon has always been more or less SYM
pathetic to much of the New Deal, although
some of his advisers led him away from Such
positions in the campaign
More may be heard from this feud. Hoover
can exert control a conservative majority
of his party's national committee.
1t is true that Senator George Berry of Ten
nessee has resigned as president of Labors Nom
partisan League but it is not quite clear when
the event occurred.
The league is the beginning of a possible
sometime Labor party. CLIO. leaders John
Lewis and Sidney Himan put Berry in charge
of it because he was president of the A. F. of
LIS PreSsmen's Union, and would take away
some of the CLIO. flavor
Berry was appointed a senator May to fill
vacancy A week or two later Lewis and Hill
man went into conference with him. They sug
gester in a nice way that it might be better
not to have a Democratic senator head of
an organization whose very insisted on
its nonpartisanship.
They left with the impression that Berry
would announce his resignation or write letter
about it within the next day or two
Time marched on, with no word from SEN
ator Berry. 1t was two months before any
nkling of his resignation leaked out. Mean
while, league funds had become depleted The
leagues three strongest supporting leagues
leagues three strongest supporting unions, led by
Lewis Hillman and David DubinSky failed to kick

Senator Berry had to dig into his own pock-
cts. Finally he gave UP. The squeeze play had
worked.
As to Senator Berry's delay in actually get
ting out Of the league after the May meeting,
few who know Berry believe he has no preSiden-
tial ambitions. Failing that, he might take the
vice presidency, which he has sought for years.

They, and thousands of others like
them, are vagrant refugees from the
Middle West where interminable on
slaughts of droughts and dust storms
have laid waste the once good earth.
Between January and June this year,
some $4,000 such persons, all seeking
employment, have entered California,
swelling the number of these dust bowl
victims filtering into the State in the
past two years to 10000.
Looking out for these homeless thou

it now, that all these jobs in search of
workers and all these workers in search
of jobs do meet and join hands without

Modern letters have produced few
such unique expressions as that which
flasher Divine, the Negro cult leader
of Harlem, penned to a disciple in
California jail. With a fine scorn for
the terse conciseness which characterizes
the literature of today, Father Divine
closed his message with the standard
thought of "Am feeling fine" express
ed in these words: "This leaves me well,
healthy, joyful, peaceful, lively, loving,
successful, prosperous and happy in spir-
it, body and mind and in every organ,
muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone

How about the man who has some

all prolix bunk to one side, it is
disheartening to see these great
sources being used to only one
third of their capacities. Not only
are the better books begging to Toe
read, but even the best of current
magazines get little play.
A popular complaint is that books
do not butter ones bread. 1t all
depends on the literature. Con-
tending that civilization has been
speeded up by books, it is credit
to the times that during the recent
depression and drought there was
not one automatically reported case
of starvation that was avoidable.
No butter, true bread? Yes.

Illiteracy is no excuse since there
are plenty of desks in the prison
school for the uneducated.
Much has been written concern
ing movies and radios as factors
of enlightment. Inmates of the
Point do not see movies, and very
few have access to radios, therefore
the library and the school must and
can suffice in furnishing bread for
their cultural appetites.

Joseph Conrad's Because of the
Dollars" Galsworthy and the For
sythe Saga are gathering dust, and
the late Arnold Bennett is well
represented, but little read in our
library.
If the foregoing fare is too meaty,
there are volumes of the works of
Chambers, Grey, Tuttle, Bowers,
Kyne, and Villa Gather. This is
not meant as a pedantic recital of
authors living and dead, but merely
one mans effort to encourage you
to slap your orbs on couple Of
good books each month.
There is the serious side; as vo-
cational tones and books of course
material cannot be sneezed at, and
the local library has much to offer
in this line.
