son, RuStad and Andrews made their bases, when the Shortstop let their grounders roll between his legs. Jensen got on in between the errors with a hard hit single. but the potential scores were not made as result of a smart double play made by Johnson and Fr d Schmitz.
 But still there were only two men away, and Rusty had scored in the miX-up.
 Don Bell went to the plate and took his first hit, single, from Kimball, and with Rollers help, when he poured out another single from the tiring pitcher, came ill, scoring his first run of the season and chalking up the last of the ball game.
 Kimball Pulled Like IriShmen, the Moose didn't know when they were licked and attempted last inning rally, hop ing to gain enough runs to win the game or at least tie the score so that they would have another chance. With Jack Schmitz on the mound instead of Kimball t th ( Douglas team went up first But Schmitz famed two men in TOW and it looked as though the rally was going to be successful. Odel was hit by a pitched ball from tho smiling pitcher and Rustad wa; walked. but the two men were Jeff on their bases when Jensen ground ed out, Schmitz to Snow.
 The fans leaned forward wher the Moose came up to bat, but i was 1-2-3, when Fred Schmit. grounded out, Martin flied out anC Lawson, on base with his only hi of the game, was forced out al second Slugger Snow, for whom the fans had been waiting, was III next but didn't make the grade and the ball game was over.

Errors Cost Paps ;Perfeei Record When Islanders
 Win 5 10 4 Last Night

Expensive fumbles last night cost the Moose their perfect record when errors permitted Douglas to trim them in a hard-fought seven inning game, which ended with the score board showing to for the Islanders.
 With Kimball consistently pitch ing slow balls, the Douglas team came up to the platter first and took two hits and one run before the Moose pitcher got into his stride. Claude Erskine got the first hit, a single, and stole second base, leaving it open for Rustad to knock him in. Rusty knocked out single. bringing in Erskine when Martin made costly tumble in left field. AS a result Erskine scored, but when the Douglas short stop left third to make home, he was put out by Guy and Collins.
 Collins Clips Double
 Erskine held the Moose to big goose egg in the remainder of the frame, but when the second came up, the score board showed two runs for the Moose. Collins, the first man to go up against Err skine, laid into a double, and be- fore the fans. had quieted down Clancy Converse poured out a slippery single into sun-blinded outfield and romped in behind Col lins.
 Regardless of the sun that poured dazzling light from over the grand stand Eddy Roller hung onto two pop flies near second and botf of them 1-2. Shielding his eyes as best he could with his cap, Rol- fer pulled both of the flies out oi the sky and put out Martin anc Snow before they could reach the first sack.
 Starts Again in Fourth
 But the calm changed into a storm in the fourth canto for botll teams when Johnson squeezed out run after getting onto first by an error from Manning, and Rusty Rustad burned one over the fence making the score to 3, and mak- ing the Douglas a little concerned over their possible win.
 Not a fan was sitting when Rus ty, apparently the best hitter in the league, tried to crack the bat and being the first man up, walked stolidly around the bases to come in with the only homer of the game, and to be congratulated by his teammates.
 But the rally was short-lived for Jensen, Andrews and Bell went out by flies and grounders and the inning was over.
 Fred Schmitz Scores
 Fred Schmitz chalked up the only run of the fifth, when he took . whistling double from Erskine ano came in to make the score to in favor of the Moose, after Snow had grounded out, Roller to An dreWs.
 And then came the sixth, ano the last inning in which score was made. Thanks to Lucky Law.

Atting Governor Stresses Plight of Homeless in
 Low Countries

A proclamation urging Alaskans to contribute to the Red Cross drive for funds to relieve suffering in Western Europe has been issued by Acting Gov. E. L. Bartlett as fol- lows:
 With the invasion of Holland Belgium and Luxembourg, millions of peace-loving people are con- fronted with widespread suffering. Hundreds of thousands have been forced from their homes. On their pitiful migration they face all of wars horrs.' They are in need and in want. Men, women and children-all are suffering equally.
 The American Red Cross is launching campaign for a mini mum war relief fund of $10,000, ,000.00
 Tn this tragic hour Alaska, in common with the rest of the United States has been asked to contribute to this fund.
 T know what the response will be throughout the Territory. Always Alaskans have been in the forefront of those helping where human suf- fering was involved and now when war has again despoiled whole coun- tries and has left many of the in- habitants without means of liveli- hood, our aid will once more go forth in the full measure of our ability.

PRESS NOT DISPLACED

Radio is a government-licensed me-
dium. 1t is subject to full control in
war or great emergency. Europe has
shown its propaganda possibilities as
war weapon in the hands Of a
despot, and remote as the danger may
seem to US, it cannot be wholly ig-
nored. This country is still fortunate
that the press has not been displaced
as the primary news medium, and
that radios inroads upon its adver-
tising have been merely painful and
not fatal. If radio had destroyed the
news primacy of the press, or if it
ever could, the American people would
have something serious to think about.

DUMBNESS BROUGHT
NEW LAWS

Alf NJ. Landon Che ran for Presi-
dent once) told meeting of railroad
officials at Topeka that the "real au-
thors of the Securities and Exchange
Commission were not the New Deal
ers, but the crooked banking houses
which looted railroads, public utili-
ties and other industrial enterprises;
they made the commission necessary"
Of course Mr.. Landon is right, Wall
Street spokesmen to the contrary. He
might have gone even farther and
said that much of the legislation
passed in recent years was not the
work of the New Dealers but of dis
honest, avaracious and short-sighted
business interests of many kinds. If
the attitude of business had been diff
ferent, such laws as the National La
Dor Relations Act and the Fair Wage

ments covering $500 workers in IL
Of Washington's largest hotels were
arrived at after protracted negotia-
tions by the joint executive board of
the Hotel and Restaurant Workers
International Alliance and the hotel
arrangements.
Pay raises, shorter hours and a
modified closed shop were among the
benefits gained by the union for the
employees. The hotels covered by the
agreement are the Ambassador, Carl
ton, Continental, Harrington, Lafay-
cite, Lee Sheraton, New Colonial,
Raleigh, Roger Smith, Shoreham,
Wardman Park and Willard. Other
hotels previously had signed agree
ments with the union.

ney for the union, said He added:
"They said IF milk is sold at 8h
cents a quart at the stores, then your
basic wage will be $50 week, plus
commissions. If the price at the
stores rises a penny, then your basic
wage will increase by $3.50; if it
goes down penny, then your wages
will go down $3.50 week
eve contend that they wanted US
to enter into price-fixing conspiracy
that would violate the Sherman Act.
We've all along maintained that the
union has no influence over the price
of milk. We should have basic wage
independent of price,"
Rate of pay under the old contract
was $48 week, plus commissions,
and was not based on the price struc-
ture.
Separate negotiations with the
companies had been conducted by the
inside workers union, Local No. 754,
and had reached the same impasse.

FRIDAY, MAY II, 1910.
CONGRESS CAN PUT THEM
TO WORK

Jobs at regular prevailing wages
for about million workers in build
ing trades and allied industries are
represented by untitled requests for
government loans to finance public
low-rent housing projects now on file
with the United States Housing Au-
thority, the agency says.
The estimated pay roll for these
workers would put approximately
$500,000,0O0 into general circulation,
it is estimated.
These requests, totaling $1,006,900,-
900 upon which the U. S. H. A. can
not act until Congress authorizes ad-
ditional loan funds, have been filed
with the U. S. H. A. by 181 local hous-
ing authorities in 32 states.
The loans sought would be used to
provide safe and sanitary homes at
rentals within their means for about
100000 low-income American fam
lilies now living in substandard struc-
lures in city, suburban and rural Sec
tions.
Legislation is before Congress to
increase by S8OO,OOO,0OO the amount
which the U. S. H. A. is authorized to
land for slum clearance and low-rent
housing projects. This would go a
long way toward taking care of the
untitled requests for loans. The legis-
lation is supported by organized labor.
1t should pass and at this session.

"The war in which the democracies
of Western Europe are engaged
against the Nazi regime is being sup

workers with all their energy and de-
termination. They know that they
can count in this struggle on the en-

workers in every other country"
Closing on note of strong OPP

manifesto declared:
"To avenge the multitude of VIC
TINS of Nazi and Stalinist aggression,
to safeguard the future, to bring
back peace and prosperity to the

tinue without faltering the tremen-
dous battle which is to deliver hu-
manity from the ranks of barbarism.
"They proclaim their faith in the
final triumph of democracy and inter
national solidarity"
Thunder from Europe browns out
some of the political oratory and
ranting in the United States.
Tough on the politicians but much
of the CUFF won't be missed.
Some people even say that the par
tial 'blanketing" of the politicians is
one beneficial result of the war.
It's going pretty far to see any
good in war, but maybe these people
are right, at that.

isn't all on U. S. soil. A goodly and
dangerous detachment is IN MEXICO.
We have, as people, great many
friends in Mexico; but we also have
some enemies and a great many who
play the Mexican political game (just
as some of our own politicians do)
waving the flag and wringing out the
bloody shirt all over the place.
President Cardenas politically does
not love the United States any too
well, nor does the gentleman whom
he has picked to be his successor.
The Fifth Column, collectively, is
doing very well in Mexico, thank you.
And WHEN WHEN, NOT IF
war comes to the United States, just
watch that Rio Grande border!
/ think we are a credulous people.
We don't like war, we don't want war
and we keep our eyes pretty well
closed to anything that may smell
like the threat of war.
We hate to believe what we know
we ought to believe.
We kid ourselves a great deal, in
order to keep away from thinking of
the possibility of war.
The fact is-hateful though it
may be-that we face, not the
possibility, but the PROBABLE
ITY Of war. It's advance scouts
are at our doorstep.
And organized labor is SO absorbed
with it's own affairs that it takes
little account of the messing around
of plotting international arsonists.
But the hour is at hand for taking
account of these doings.
For very soon we may be faced
with the fact of war-and the machi-
nations of the Fifth Columns to
which we have been so childishly hos
pitable.

Al per cent of the 396,632 applicants
for jobs registered in the 20 offices OF
the New York State Employment
Service in New York City, according
to a detailed inventory by occupation,
age and sex, as of December, 1889,
Milton o. Loysen, executive director
of the Division of Placement and I'm

here.
This is the first occupational analy-
sis of these workers by age groups to
be published.
Commenting on the survey, Or.
Meredith B. Givens, director OF the
Bureau of Research and Statistics,
said that "the inventory figures show
that the majority of the male job
seekers among managers and officials,
skilled craftsmen, and protective and
personal service workers were 40
years of age and older. On the other
hand, the majority of men seeking
work in the professional, clerical and
sales fields were under 40 years OF
age.
"The occupations in which older
women formed relatively large pro-
portion of work applicants were per-
sonal service, domestic employment
and managerial positions"

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. Sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

We hear lot in these parlous days
about Trojan Horses and Fifth Col
umns.
Most everyone knows that Tro-
jan Horse is just plain no good for
hauling truck around the place, or
from door to door; you can't ride it
and you can't put harness on it.
And fifth column isn't the one in
which millionaires put their pennies
down for the income tax man.
Once upon time the Siege of Troy
took place and great wooden horse
was rolled up to the walls. A kind of
| flap door was let down and whole
pile of soldiers hoped out of the in
terror of the wooden nag. So Trg-
jan Horse came to be one that wasn't t
what he seemed to be inside and then
it got to mean most any kind of
camoufage trickery.
The Fifth Column comes to about
the same thing. 1t is made up of
disciplined adherents stationed in an
alien and likely-to-be enemy land,
where they will break out with be-
hind-the-scenes destruction the mo-
ment invasion begins.
The Communist Party in the United
States is Joe Stalin's Fifth Column
among us. The Bund and the Chris
tian Frontiers constitute Hitler's Fifth
Column among US.
And both of these Fifth Columns
probably contain several factors about
which we don't know anything at all.
Surreptitious hell-raising is part of
the job of the Fifth Column, which is
so-called because it comes after and
supplements the four open and armed
columns Of warfare.
A great many Americans are
SO doggoned dead set against hav-
ing any part of the world war

to recognize the current dangers
or take any steps to guard
against them.
They don't like to believe we have
any Fifth Columns among US.
But we DO have them, good and
plenty and good and plenty mean and
devilish, too.
We have at least four of them:
Hitler's, Stalin's, Mussolini's and Hi
rohito's.
Two of them are allies now; all Of
them may be allies AT ANY MO-
MENT!
Of course / know plenty of people
will shout "pipe dreams" at the very
idea of such thing.
