WOMEN AND THE LABOR MOVEMENT

It is universally conceded that women make up the big majority of the buying public and in view of this fact the attitude of toward labor ments which have at times tied up industry and business is especially interesting and timely. The Ladies Home Journal, Curtis publication, in it's De- cenlber issue reveals that it has taken survey of women over the nation to determine what they think about labor, and some of its findings highly sig nificant.
 Henry R. Pringle who compiled the article for the Journal points out that 56 percent of the boiled approved unions against A percent who dis approved total of 82 percent favored the American Federation of Labor the Committee for Industrial Organization while 52 percent refused to choose be- tween either group, asserting they too unin- formed to make choice. It is significant that with family incomes of less than $500 year were in the majority fayorng the CIO and there good many supporters for the John L. Lewis organiza ton among the youngest age group, MT Prngle ports Among the women who union members themselves 66 percent favored the AFL as against 34 percent for CIO. A total of T percent of the opinion that labor unions getting too powerful while 57 percent expressed the opinion that they did not believe strikes were ever justified.
 In view of picketng which is a common weapon of all labor groups the attitude of women as buyers in places which being picketed particularly revealing. In reply to question of whether picketing would keep them from buying in a store, Fl percent replied that it had effect their paronizng of a store and among labor union only 54 per cent said they would not pass through the picket line, indicating that picketng against women buyers of all classes is not particularly effective.
 total of 94 percent of the women believed that unions should be held responsible by law for carrying out their contracts with employers and 98 percent declared that Labor unions should be obliged to count for the funds they handle just as business must
 On union dues, 62 percent of the women boiled against union dues being deducted from pay checks and 6I percent of the labor themselves against this procedure Sxty-three percent said that while strikes may be justified at times they would not want their husbands brothers to take part in them and more than twothirds favored legal force to end sit-doWn strikes and disproved of union vio ence against strike breakers More than two o-thirds opposed the formation of labor party in the United States, but 89 percent favored the passing of con- stitutional amendment to bar child labor
 If there is any truth in the old adage that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world labor unions the country do well to take heed of what their women folk think about the labor move ment and get their houses in order. The women are giving them the cue.

Federal WiIdlife Protection
Baltimore Evening Sun)

Now it is perfectly legal for duck hunters to shoot ducks. They shoot few canvasback red head bufflehead ruddy ducks which hitherto have been totally forbidden. The season has been increased by fifteen days
 Not in many years have ducks Cand geese too been plentiful in the Susquehanna and Chesapeake regions. All this is exceedingly pleasant news, not only to sportsmen and gourmets but also to a great many other people who had feared, and quite rightly, that the wild waterfowl were headed toward swift extinction.
 This marked change has come about within five In 1883 the chief of the Biological Survey extremely pessimistic Indeed he said at that time that it seemed useless to keep up the struggle to preserve these birds" and suggested that the Government might just well make quick finish by throwing off all shooting restrictions and allowing gunners to complete the destruction of another of our great natural resources as rapidly and pain lessly possible
 How, then, does it happen that Maryland duck shooters may look forward today to excellent season?
 No thanks are due to Maryland for this happy situation. No thanks are due the Susquehanna net ters, who have sent truckoads of bootleg ducks to northern markets after catching them in wholesale lots the feeding marshes. No thanks are due the Chesapeake trappers, and the game-hogs who say ducks with small cannon in sneakboats. No thanks due to greedy legitimate gunners who have always held out against shorter season.
 The increase in ducks brought about by stringent Federal legislation The Federal resric- tons brought the three months down to thirty days, closed it entirely for certain badly depleted species and imposed a small bag limit. These re- strctions superseded the state game laws which and still are, at variance with the Federal program. Now that the ducks and geese have back in large focks it is possible to allow longer shooting season, larger bag. The Marylanders who welcome this increase would do well to reflect what brought it about. There is an object lesson here.

lmbia. The Northern Argonaut of Stewart, B. oints out in recent issue:
 New interest has been created in the Brit ish Columbia Yukon Alaska Highway project by the announcement from Victoria that $25,000 will be included in the estimates, as shown by the budget speech in the Legislature, to cover the cost of the survey and other in- cidental expenses to further construction of this important undertaking.
 It is hinted in Victoria that the province will cooperate with the joint international com mttee now in formation to study the maio motor road from Seattle, through British Co., lumbia and the Yukon to Fairbanks Alaska: or the province may take independent action for a survey to speed-up actual construction on the International Highway
 Residents Of northern British Columbia and in cities and towns on the Panhandle of Alaska, have consistently advocated that the highway should follow the original survey from Hazelton, as a road via that route would be universally useful in serving established com- munities and would also provide transporta- tion service for opening up new mines in the north country that has been geologized and is known to contain vast mineral resources This route recommended by the first Highway Commission which was established six years ago.
 Of late, some engineers have suggested that the road to Alaska through B C. and the Yukon should be routed via Finay Forks and have made claims for an eastern route up the Finlay Valley.
 It is probable that the appropriation will produce a full debate on the subject of the project when the estimates are brought down. giving Premier Pattullo opportunity to report fully on his negotiations in connection with the highway project when in Ottawa and Washington recently
 Construction of the International Highway a 'arentV is drawing nearer every day. With t United States Commission, recently appointed by President, the Canadian Commission and British c umbia authorities working in unison it may be e 'ected that way Yill Joe found for actual buildi If the road within the next few years.

as formerly, of only those caught the week proceeding the fair.
 When any of Nome's skilled fishermen catch a finny specimen which they wish to enter in the fair, they take fl to either B. J. McConaghy or Leonard Krohlow, who have been requested to act as judges for the fish department. These gentlemen will inspect the catch, and if they think is worthy of exhibition, it is taken to Curtis Jacobs or Mrs. Charlotte Patter- son and photographed, at the ex- pense of the Fair Association.
 The photographs are displayed, and judged in the same manner as fresh catch. Awards will be made for size of fish, as well as quality of display. Fish to be judged for size wiN be photogra- phad beside yard stick, So that no errors can be made.

 Mir. Chas. Code, superintendent of the Fish Department, announc- ed that a solution has bsen work ed out which he feels will be em- inently satisfactory, as it not only spares the olafactory nerves of the people who wish to inspect the fish display, but it permits the exhibition of fish caught any time during the summer, instead.
