kEITHAHN AUTHOR OF NEW BOOK ON
 TOTEM POLES, ART

Edward L. Keithahn, curator and ibrarian of the Alaska Historical Library and Museum in Juneau is the author of new book on the totem pole and northwest coast h. dian art and culture generally.
 The book, entitled Monuments in Cedar, is the result of IS years of research on the totem pole as an institution. It contains 160 pages, 58 pictures, and a large map of the totem polar" region by Linn A. Forrest, also of Juneau Included with each book is a Autographed oockmark with picture of Mir Aeithahn and sketch of his career. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, and be- fore he became curator of the mu- scum here in 1941 he taught among Indians and Eskimos of Alaska at Rake, Hydaburg, Shismaref and Wrangell.
 The book is regarded by many authorities who have seen it as the most complete, authentic and au- horitative on the Alaskan totem pole. It has been written, how yer, to appeal to the tourist and he Alaskan anxious to understand more about the totem pole and In dian art generally
 Legends In Cedar"
 It contains chapters on north- west coast decorative art, on low to cad a totem pole, on the Indian 'eligion, on the colorfuI potlatch, md also tells many of the fascin- ating Indian legends in cedar"
 In one place, MT Keithahn re- minds readers that the time is not ar distant when these monuments will be considered a resource as inn 33ftant to Southeast Alaska and Coastal British Columbia as the pyramids are to Egypt or the ruins )f ancient Rome to modern Italy. The significant fact is simply that 10 other place in the whole world las totem poles; people will come rom far and wide to see them .. as long as they remain"
 Urges Restoration
 For that reason, he urges that the work of restoration or duplication begun in the past decade should be continued.
 Among the many interesting dis Closures in Monuments in Cedar" IS this on the mistaken meaning the white man has given by his term 'lndian-giver. The "potlach" is sort of banking or insurance sys- tenn.
 For example, if an Indian has two canoes and his friend has none. the friend might remark that nobody needs two canoes, CT give any other Of number of subtle hints. When he believes the canoe owner to be sufficiently impressed of his de- sire he potlatches' his friend some thing he believes to be equal in value to the desired canoe. Then. If within a reasonable time the canoe is not forthcoming, he takes back his gift, and the deal is off. White men, not understanding this procedure, have coined the term Indian-giver' for anyone who takes back gift.

Labor Union Treasures

Under the New Deal, the labor
- union is becoming the dominat,
ing institution of the country.
means of the Wagner Act and
federal labor board DEGREES, wage
earners are COMPELLED to belong
to unions, and to pay POLITICAL
assessments as we'll as dues, FOR
THE RIGHT TO WORK.
This form of extortion is now
being extended to enterprise, upon
which exactions are being levied
FOR THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE
IN BUSINESS.
James Caesar Petrillo, president
of the American Federation of Mu-
sicians, made the pattern when he
forced all recording and transcribing
music companies to pay royalties
into the treasury of his organization.
The money goes into what Mr..
Petrillo calls the employment
fund.-" which already amounted to
millions of dollars, and gives to Mr..
Petrillo, as the car of the union who
may disburse it's money as he sees fit,
an enormous power.
John L. Lewis has now sought to
apply the Petrillo formula on much
larger scale.
In submitting proposals for a new
wage agreement, Mr.. Lewis demands
a royalty of 10 cents ton on all soft
coal handled by members of his
United Mine Workers.
It is estimated that Mr.. Lewis
union would receive as much as $780,
100000 a year in royalties.
