PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12.-On the
eve of the first constitutional con-
vention for c. I. o. industrial
unionism, c. I. o. Leader John L.
Lewis suggested today concerted
action among the liberal forces" and
renewed support for the New Deal
In the wake of Republican gains in
the November election.
Mr.. Lewis remarks, covering in
broad terms questions of labor's
role in politics and government and
the outlook for labor peace, were
regarded in some sources as in
dicating the political liberalism C.
I. o. unions will adopt in convention
next week as the vehicle for their
future activities.
At. press conference in con-
vention headquarters, Mr.. Lewis
said in discussing last Tuesdays
balloting that the Democratic party
organization needed house cleaning
in some quarters and that if there
was to be a coalition between the
Democrats and labor certainly
there must be an increased under
standing as to policy and admins
tration."
Mr.. Lewis said President Roose-
velt had been invited to attend the
c. I. o. convention, but indicated
there was little likelihood the Chief
Executive would come.

progressive leaders in appeals for
action.
Some ideas expressed by the con-
ferees here found concurrence in
the remarks of c. I. o. Chairman
John L. Lewis. in Pittsburgh.
Il think the general elections in
dicate the need for greater co-opera-
ton and concerted action among
the liberal forces of our country,
Mr.. Lewis said. II think the liberal
element of the Democratic party,
Labor and other Progressives have
q definite incentive to cooperate"
Gov. Murphy said the progressive
movement, in order to be success,
must be centered around the Presi-
dent because he has done more
than any person to make it possible. :"
mo one needs to be disheartened,"
Gov. Murphy added. "Progresslves
will take greater courage from the
reversals of last Tuesday. The pen
dulum will always swing in democ-
racy; the thing is to keep it swing
ing. We can keep the progressive
movement from setbacks, and pro-
tect it from attack, and insure it
against delay"
Among those the Mayor has in
vited to join the "solidification"
movement are the La Follettes of
Wisconsin, where last Tuesday Gov.
Philip La Toilette fell before Re-
publican votes in his try for fourth
term.
Definitely and irrevocably. pro-
gressives are in the lists to stay until
every American has been restored
his right of decent and secure
livelihood" Gov. La Toilette said in
Milwaukee, commenting on the elec-
ton. The National Progressives of
America (the party Mr.. La Toilette
launched last spring. goes forward
today"
Wisconsin's Governor said the
eleNon was "just another round"
and(that every progressive will take
q cinch in his belt and be ready for
the next round"
In typical La Guardia fashion, the
Mayor issued his call for pro-
gressive' rally and meetings of pro-
gressive leaders only two days after
the election.
LAS I analyze the results of the
election" Mayor La Guardia said
then, Il believe one must be realistic
about 1t and realize that the pro-

THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES

We of the Fourth Grade are mak- ing a study of the United States. We are putting all our material in book about the United States. In history we are drawing pictures of things that happened in the life of Florence Nightingale and Clara Bar ton.
 The third grade just finished reading about Switzerland. We learned that the Swiss people make very fine watches and are very good at embroidering and carving. Each member of the class drew a picture about life in Switzerland.
 We have been studying about boats this week We talked about the kind of boats we see around Wrangell and next week we are go- ing to learn about early boats.
 The third and fourth grades to- gether have been talking about the food we should eat to make good teeth, also the different kinds of teeth and what they are used for.
 We made large pictures of rabbits for Easter, and Tuesday Christine Teller brought large Easter rabbit that looked like some of our pie lures.

SCHOOL DAYS

With enthusiasm all the students of the high school look forward to the few remaining days of school and for some of the seniors these will be the very last days of study. They will obtain their knowledge by experience after leaving school. To the other grades the last days mean vacation for a while and to most the opportunity to obtain money.
 Even though they count the time to the day, they all feel their time well spent. All have had their turn at a prank or so but most of them meant no harm. This gives a lively spirit to the class but sometimes annoys or angers the teacher, and the student has another session af- ter school. All too often the blame is laid on an innocent party by the prankster, but that is why pranks are played-to get someone into trouble.

SNOW PASS FISH TRAP SUIT
 SETTLED FAVOR KARL THIELT

Karl Thiele. president of the Dia- mond K Packing Co, took passage to Seattle Sunday night on the Prin- cess Norah having arrived here the previous day by plane from Ketehi- kan. At the time he left Wrangell he stated he did not know whether the Diamond K cannery would op. crate this summer.
 The fish trap case brought by E. Schoenwald to cancel his contract with the Diamond K involving own ership and operation of a Snow Pass fish trap was settled in district court at Ketchikan Saturday morn ing in Mr. Thiele's favor, Judge George F. Alexander refusing to cancel the contract. after a stipul- ation agreed upon by attorneys for both sides had been entered.
 According to the agreement. the trap will be operated again this summer by the Diamond K. A quar- ter of the proceeds will go to Seho- enwald; a quarter will go to John J. Kennett, who has obtained his share from Sehoenwald. and half of the proceeds will go to Diamond K. The latter firm must post $75O0 surety bond to faithfully account to Sehoenwald for operations for she coming season.
 The trap is to be installed and op- erated by the packing company. If the firm does not intend to operate the trap this season, 1t is to inform MT. Schoenwald and the latter will operate it as provided under a 1884 agreement
 During the suit, Judge Alexander gave an oral opinion that a receiver for the trap site can not be appoint ed as a trap is not a property that could be received

BISHOP CRIMONT
ENDS LONG TRIP
TO VATICAN CITY
Has Audience with Pope
that Lasted Over
Half Hour

After an audience with the Pope
and an absence of five and hall
months from Alaska, Bishop j. r
Crimont arrived in Juneau today
aboard the steamer Baranof.
II am extremely happy to be
back" said the 80-year-old Bishop
Crimont this afternoon, Il have
been gone long time and seen
a lot, but it is good to be back"
For the second time in his life
and for the first time in IL years
Bishop Crimont had audience with
the Pope, who the Bishop said was
energetic and fairly well"
Bishop Crimont spent IS minutes
in conversation with His Holiness
the Pope in Vatican City, but visit
ing dignitaries are generally given
only five minutes consideration.
The tie between the two went
deeper than mere common inter-
ests. They had common friend
the late st. Basco, whose prayers
had given the Pope new leases on
life and had 81 years ago given
strength to the ailing body of the
now Bishop Crimont.
Bishop Crimont also visited his
relatives in Amiens, France, and
while passing through st. Quentin
France, baptized the daughter OF
Mrs. Andrew Colback, sister of Mrs
Anthony j. Dimond.
Father Coudeyre accompanied
Bishop Crimont on the long trip
and also had audience with the
Pope.
