 Arriving then in this town of quickly-erected saloons and loudly ringing saloondanee halls, young missionary Peter Rowe cast about for a place to hold sermon.
 Sermon in Saloon
 There was no place to hold serv- ices" Bishop Rowe said with sug- gestion of twinkle in his eye. "so I went to George Baldwin, who was running one of the largest of the saloons and asked him what he could suggest"
 "Could you use this saloon?" Baldwin asked.
 Why not answered missionary Rowe who had travelled for nearly four months alone through the wild erness to take the gospeI to the Yu- kon.
 Baldwin was a man or action as well as expressive words.
 "Clean up this palce!" he shout ed from his position behind the long bar. Were going to have church. Down your drinks and get the liquor out of sight!'
 Almost as quickly as a tired miner could get three fingers of whiskey down a parched throat the two score men and few women had curtained the bar, made a pulpit of sorts, and had put chairs in rows and tables to the side.
 The sermon over, saloon keeper Baldwin ordered two of his hench- men to pass the hat, and they did.
 He told the men to kick in or else,' Boshop Rowe smiled, ''and they surely did. really think they enjoyed that sermon as much as l."
 The collection over, Edwin pull ed the curtain down from the bar, the tables were pushed back into the center of the room-and busi- ness went on as before.
 That saloon became missionary ,Rewe's church a aheRt ttme later.

It. Col. Jackson Tells Chamber
 Of Salv. Army Program

A brief business session held fol- lowing the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday at the Wrangell Hotel included endorsement of the request made by the school board for school bus service the coming year for children living on Wran- gell Highway.
 It has been the policy of the Territorial Department of Educa- tion where eight or more children are without school facilities to fur nish bus transportation to near Ly town, rather than build and maintain a separate school, and it is hoped to have the service extend- { , to Wrangell
 The chamber was informed that the Forest Service will postpone operations of the local CCC camp until fall after the present bulk head project at the Indian ceme- tery is completed. Upsn vote the secretary was instructed to write to J. M. Wyckoff, forest ranger, expressing appreciation for the fine work done on the bulkhead.
 It. Col. A. D. Jackson, divisional commander, southern California, for the Salvation Army, with head quarters in Los Angeles, was a guest at the luncheon. Colonel and Mrs. Jackson, on a brief vacation from their duties, were round trip passengers on the North Sea which was in port over the noon hour.
 Responsible Position
 Colonel Jackson, who has charge of the Salvation Army's largest di- vision in the western part of the United States said that it was a tremendous responsibility to carry on his work under present eeo- homie conditions.
 There has been a 75 percent in- crease in recent years in the de- mands made on the Army depart ments under his charge and 50 per cent decrease in revenues. It these differences. Daily he en- counters tragedies thav are heart breaking About 500 people a day." he said, "who come to us asking for something to eat are turned away, because we have noth- ing more."
 He deplored the poverty-strick- en policy which would lead na- tio1 to destroy food and to stop production of food while such great numbers of it's people were without anything to eat, and said it was regrettable that labor agi- tators could throw things so out of joint that armies of working men were out of jobs, bereft of buying power and on relief rolls instead of payrolls.
 Surplus Fruit
 He spoke of the recent drive in the Los Angeles district to eat more oranges and lemons, there being a large surplus due to cur tailed orders in ordinary trade channels; the bean growers were also desperate over the surplus beans, in quantity great enough he declared, to feed the navies o the world
 On his way up the coast Colone .lsakxen said. he found the Sar

Francisco Rotary club and other organizations engage1 fin cam paign to eat more peaches there being surplus of peaches and in Sacramento district there was a surplus of 165,0O0 tons of prunes and in Seattle warehouses are huge surplus stocks of canned sal mon.
 He referred to Stanley Jones' recent book, "The Choice Before Us," which he had read aboard the steamer, and the gloomy picture | it painted, but declared that he believed the American people had the intestinal fortitude and the in- telligence to meet the issues, but felt that a spiritual awakening was necessary also.
 World Organization Referring to the Salvation Army Colonel Jackson mentioned that from it's beginning of obscurity TO years ago, out of faith and a spiritual urge had grown a world organization of three million ac- tive members. There are 26,000 commissioned officers who are paid salaries, supposedly, although no officer is guaranteed his pay and no one is responsible for his pay
 T have been a Salvationist for 40 years," he said, "and my pay is now $29.50 a week.
 Prison Work
 In speaking of department pro- grams the colonel said few persons realized the scope of the prison work. Over 2,000 men are on par ole in the United States to Salva- tion Army officers, and are self supporting instead ot being sup ported as prisoners by taxpayers. We could take that many more," said the Salvationist, If jobs were available" It is estimated that it costs $10 a week to keep man in light alone, the prison work done by the Army saves taxpayers in l the United States a million and l forty thousand dollars every year. He believes, however, that the re- mobilization of men is worth far more than the money saved.
 Another department, the Wom- ems Homes and Maternity Centers last year cared for 5000 girls and women who had strayed from right. There were $500 nameless babies born in the maternity homes. Eighty-seven percent of these girls were permanently rehabilitated and put back into useful living.
 Religious Nature
 aThe chief thing of the Salva- tion Army" insisted Colonel Jack son, lis it's religion; without reli- zion as motive, our people could not give themselves so freely to the work. He mentioned as an ex- ample a woman in charge of one of their Los Angeles institutions, a brilliant business women, of uni versity education, who commands a salary of $150 week, giving it all up to serve the Army at $75 ! month. He closed his talk with a humorous Scotch story which l brought a hearty lauso from all Il present.

Mead Hits Competition of Sweet Shop
Concerns With High Wage Employers

Washington, D. C.-Representative
James M. Mead of Buffalo, N. Y, in
a statement here, emphasized the i'm
portance of protecting working stand
ards in New York State against COM
petition from low-pay areas in other
parts of the country as one of his ma
jor reasons for favoring the enactment
of the Federal Wages and Hours Bill,
which the House of Representatives
passed by vote of 314 to 81 and sent
to the Senate.
Competition Is Equalized
The Wage and Hour Bill, carrying
the approval of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, would equalize competi-
tion so far as it is affected by wages
and hours. 1t provides for universal,
nationwide minimum rate of pay of
rs cents per hour, with provision
that it shall be increased to 40 cents
within a period of three years, and a
ceiling for hours which provides for
IA hours per week with a provision
that it shall be reduced to 40 hours
within period of two years. These
provisions establish a foundation for
wages below which no employer sub
ject to the legislation can go and a
ceiling for hours above which no en-
ployer can require his employees to
serve and work.
High Wage Employers Compelled To
Emigrate
Pointing out that substandard
wages paid in some sections of the
United States have made competition
by manufacturers operating their
plants in New York under relatively
high wage scales difficult, and in
some cases impossible, of accomplish
ment," Representative Mead claimed
that "as result there has been a
steady departure of factories from our
State to the lower-wage sections Of
the country"
He cited Rochester, Utica, Oswego
and Troy as examples of Hundreds
of other smaller communities suffer-
ing from unemployment occasioned by
the closing down of manufacturing
plants" because of inability to COM
pete with low-wage plants in other
States," and added that New York
City has also suffered from this
economic plague"
"How can New York industry pay
twice the wage scale paid in some
other States and hope to compete with
those products of cheap labor" Mr..
Mead asked. "Of course, the answer
is, it cannot be done. If this is true,
then we are badly in need of uniform
minimum wage law to protect our own
industries. Unless we do so, and do
it quickly, our industrial centers are
doomed.
Wages in Women's Clothing Industry
"Eet us look at one of New York's
typical industries and see the existing
situation. New York manufacturers
approximately 70 per cent of women's
clothing. Most of the workers in this
industry enjoy q thirty-hve-h week.

FTU Turns Down
Russiun Unions
AF of L Wins Fight Against
Admission Of Communists

Oslo, Norway GLNS).-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor won its
fight against admission of the Rus
sian labor unions to the international
Federation of Trade Unions when the
executive council of the |. F. T. L.
voted 16 to to adopt recommends
tion rejecting a Russian application

Matthew Woll, vice president of the

creatures of the Russian Communist
dictatorship and were no more free
than the official labor organizations
of Germany and Italy.
Woll acted in accordance with a de-

Twenty-six European and other
