Annual May Day
Greetings Drive For
Labor Prisoners Begun

A campaign to send 100000 mes
sages of solidarity and support in
the form of a mass May Day greet
ing to all of Americas outstanding
labor prisoners as well as to a num-
Der of the most prominent political
prisoners in European countries, was
announced by the International La
Dor Defense last week.
The sending of such a mass May
Day greeting is one of the annual
institutions of the LID. Last year
more than 100000 Americans
through their organizations and as
individuals participated in the drive
which sent large and attractive
greeting cards containing the name
of each of those who took part in the
1888 May Day greeting right into the
prison cells-on May l-of each of
the labor prisoners behind the bars
on that day.
The aim of the 1889 drive is to
double the number of those partici-
pating.
Each name for the mass May Day
greeting must be accompanied by a
25-cent contribution to the LID.
Prisoners Relief Fund, which sends
regular relief checks to long term
labor prisoners and their families on
the 18th Of each month.
Contributors can choose the pris-
oner to whom they wish to have
their greeting sent.

THE FUTURE OF
UNFRAMED YOUTH

"The Future of Unframed Youth"
That is the topic for the next fifteen
minutes.
When I was assigned this topic
and allotted this time, my first
thought was that even in fifteen
minutes much could be said and
much should be said on this i'm
portant subject. I was about to
plunge in, without preliminaries and
definitions. I planned to use every
available minute to the best advan-
tage.
But, on second thought, it was
clear that my words would have
little or no meaning, or semblance
of sense, unless I first described
what in my mind is unframed youth.
To me, UNFRAMED Youth" means
the young men and young women
who do not have the skills and atti-
tudes necessary to do the important
job before them.
But, now what is the job of future
youth? First; there must be food,
clothing, shelter. That requires
technicians, machinists, and crafts
men. To be sure these must be
trained. They must have the neces-
sary skills, aptitudes, and attitudes.
So far l, with most other folks,
agree with those who stress training
for the productive and d~istributive
industries. But I am far from will
ing to say that the educators job
is finished when this type of train
ing has been accomplished. And
am unwilling to accept a definition
and concept of training which directs
undue attention to industry, which
is not the total job, nor indeed pos
sibly the major job facing American
Youth.

1870 YEARS OF CANNING

The canning industry which a hundred years
later became among other things the manstay of
Alaskas economic system had its beginnings in France
early in the 18th century when Nicholas Appert, a
r Partisan confectoner published treatise in 1910
describing the method he had discovered for preserv
ing perishable foods. His procedure differed little
from that followed today by home who put
up products that do not require the Of pressure
cookers Appert placed the food in glass bottles con-
tanning enough liquid to cover the food, put these
Jars in a vessel of water that gradually heated
to temperature of 100 to 200 degrees. and then
corked the jars and allowed them to cool slowly.
The history of the canning industry from that
day to the present time is story of inventive genius
devoted to the development of better and cheaper
containers. of improved cooking equipment and of
tme-saving machinery, well as of research result
ing in the discovery the scientific principle on which
canning is based and its practical application to the
industry's operations
few products were canned for trade in the
United States as early as 1919, when Ezra Daggett
and Thomas Kepsett canned salmon, Holsters, and
oysters in New York. Between 1910 and 1850 salmon
Is and Holsters were canned in New Brunswick and in
Maine and oysters were packed in Baltimore. Pacific
Coast salmon first canned on the Sacramento
River in 1864 and on the Columbia River in 1866
Shrimp was successfully canned commercial
basis in New Orleans in 1875, and canned sardme
production began the same year in Maine In 1878
Alaska's first salmon cannery built at Klawock
on Prince of Wales Island.
Canning, it is sometimes said, is a billion dollar
industry. And the statement is true when the in
dustrys output is measured by its value at retail
prices The most accurate figures available, however
the Census Bureaus figures on the value of the
industrys products at the factory-that is before
they enter the channels of distribution On this basis
the ndustry's annual output has value of around
S80OOO0c This figure covers canned fruits, vege-
tables, milk meat and seafood packed in the United
States Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. The value
varies of course, from year to year both with the
volum, of output and with changes in price levels.
Supr .l.sly the salmon canning industry with
which familiar is but drop in the bucket
of the rational canning business. Seafoods account
for approximately 100000 annually only about
one-tenth the volume of vegetables canned for in
stance In recent years the canning industry has
packed annually about 294 100000 cases
Alaska leads the nation in value of canned fish
production In 1887 the Territorys output amounted

percent of the total value of American canned fish
production.

throw the best balanced budget out of gear; it can

Americans are coming more and more to see the
importance of maintaining peace If their efforts

is Indicated by the Gallup poll which records for the

The canvass marks a definite drift from the old
faaces of isolation The theory that great nation

While demagogs and politicians sound off against

ties which bind to every nation in the world Be-
cause of one several of these ties America any
other nation is inevitably affected by foreign up

The world is pressing in upon us whether we like

the world is stable, any domestic stability is founded

BY the Associated Press.
Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer
F. Andrews yesterday issued two
alternative definitions of AREA of
production" designed to clarity
questions as to which agricultural
workers are exempt from the Fair
Labor Standards Act.
Congress exempted from the law
farm workers and those engaged In
processing farm products in the
area of production, but left it to the
administrator to define AREA of pro-
duction"
The definitions announced by Mr..
Andrews had the effect of extending
to all agricultural and horticultural
industries, including dairies, exemp-
tions previously granted to process
sors of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Under the definitions, employees
in such establishments are exempt If
they are:
Engaged in operations on COM
modities all of which come from
within a radius of 10 miles, pro-
vided also that the establishment Is
located in the open country or in a

Teachers Farley Shifted
From Brazil 10 u. ).
By the Associated Press,

An international teachers con-
ference originally scheduled to be
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this
summer was transferred to New
York. it was announced yesterday
because the Brazilian government
felt that the time was inopportune
for possible political discussions
which might involve Fascism Com
munism and other ideologies.
At the Brazilian Embassy, an Off
cial pointed to the present delicate
international situation as a reason
for Brazil's decision to suggest
postponement of the meeting of the
World Federation of Educational
Associations. The official added
however that delegates and others
who were to attend the session would
be welcomed to Brazil as tourists.
Miss Selma NJ Borchardt, vice
president of the World Federation
said the educators would make a
goodwill visit to Brazil August
to II, but that it was impossible to
postpone the conference for any
length of time, and that it would
be held in New York when the dele
gates return from Brazil She said
about 1000 persons from the United
States would make the trip to Brazil
and that delegations were expected
from Great Britain, Japan, Norway
Sweden and other European coun-
tries.
