Walton League Condemns
Quetico Logging Practice
Local Walton League Unit Favors Rigid Adherence to
Shoreline Cutting Regulations by Lumber Company
Officers Elected at Meet.

Passing resolutions to force the
Shevlin Carpenter Lumber company to
observe shoreline regulations in the
cutting of timber in the Quetico park,
the Jack Linklater chapter of the Izaak
Walton League held its annual meeting
and election of officers on Tuesday
evening.
The resolutions stated that for some
years logging has been going on In this
area, but in the most cases far enough
back from the main travelled canoe
routes so that the infractions of the
cutting zones have not been very evi-
dent. Last year, however, cutting be-
gan on Lac La Croix, MacAree and the
Maligne. This year logging plans in
clude Shortiss Island in La Croix, the
east end of the same lake, McAree, and
the north shore of Crooked Lake.
Speakers in discussing the resolution
stated "that inasmuch as these waters
are vital part of the now nationally
famous border canoe route, it is highly
important that something be done i'm
mediately If the former primitive beauty
of the area is to be preserved. The
lumber company in its former cutting
has stripped timber right to the waters
edge and has made no effort whatever
to preserve the now priceless recre-
ational values of the region. The type
of logging going on up there now is
! the same as this country knew 40 years
ago.
Canadian specifications designate the
preservation of a 400 foot strip, bu

Fish That Builds a Raft

In every part of the seven seas

under-sea creature more vicious

fish of the Ianthina family, with
sharp, razor-edged teeth, and a
long, rasping tongue, and jellyfish
are powerless against it, according
to writer in Pearson's London
Weekly. Unlike other molluscs
which crawl along the sea bed or
anchor themselves to rocks (mus-
sells are an example of the latter)
the Ianthina floats on a tiny raft
which is formed from a substance
exuded by the mollusc's shell. 1t
is supported by air bubbles which
the mollusc blows, and this tiny
craft" can stand up to the widest
weather. The mollusc itself is blind,
so the pirate craft also carries a
passenger, a minute shrimp-like
creature which guides the "ship"
alongside the jellyfish victim, leav-
ing the wicked teeth and tongue of
the pirate" to do the rest.

In looking over the list of
game warden appointments, it
can be seen that Joseph Roz-
man and G.. E. Gilbertson, two
of the districts most efficient
wardens do not appear on the
list. These two men did their
part in attaining the distinction
for the district of being the best
in the state insofar as admins
tration of game and fish affairs
is concerned. If these men
were dropped from the rolls,
we believe that a mistake was
made. The loss of two able
wardens from the rolls of an
already undermanned district
will mean much in game mat
ters for this section and also
for the men in question.

The U. S. commission has re-
fused to allow the railroads Of
the country to raise their
tariffs. This places the rail-
roads in tough spot on ac-
count of the boost in wages and

operation. Ninety-six railroad
companies in the United States
are now in receivership because
they cannot meet their obliga-
tions. Competent authority
states that since the low point
in the depression the cost of
railway supplies has gone up
some 40 per cent, taxes have
been increased by 25 per cent

in wages.

their rates, Notwithstanding the

operate is constantly being i'm

federal governments claim against in

has written finis to the trumped-up
case against man who served his
country as secretary of the treasury.
There can be no doubling the pre-

Mr.. Mellon were governed entirely by
political motives. Had he been less

would never have heard of these actions
against him. Dying, he left practically

The Wagner machinery provides peaceful elections to decide which organization has a majority of em- ployeS in 8 unit, and gives exclusive collective bargaining powers to that majority.
 The rush to sign up majority may tend for time even to height en this rivalry between the two unions. For the majority is now even more vital than before, for minor, ity no matter how large, has no bar gaining right whatever. It means death to the union coming out at the short end of the vote.
 Cleveland recently saw 8 pitched street battle between these rivals. The Electric Vacuum Cleaner Com pany signed a contract with the A. F. of L. unions. c. I. o. union mem bers claimed they really had the majority in the plant. When A. F. of L. members tried to go to work to fulfill their contract, c. I. o. pick cts tried to prevent them.
 Pickets from other A. F. of l.. unions rallied to protect their allies entrance to the plant. Tickets from other c. I. o. unions rallied to help their allies to prevent it. A thou sand men scrambled and fought be- fore the plant gate. Mounted police had to ride in and stop the fight.
 Widespread Feud
 Elections under the newly upheld Wagner Act are aimed at peaceful settlement of conflicts like this. And the prospect of such friction mounts daily as the C.. I. o. organization drive spreads into new fields. ln- creasing conflicts are inevitable with A. F. of L. unions which have either memberships, contracts, or a claim to jurisdiction in the indus tries and plants involved.
