International Labor
Organization Begins
Monthly Magazine

"The Laborer, the Nations
Builder" for June, volum 1, num-
Der 1, reached the Labor Journal
the past week. Published by the
International Hod Carriers, Build
ing and Common LaborerS' Union
of America, it will be the official
Journal of the International Union,
of President Moreschi's major
tional president, is the editor.
Printed in magazine form, on
good book paper, The Laborer, is
a neat, well written, well edited
publication, and has long been one
of President Moreschi, major
objectives, and he states in his
first editorial:
with the publication of this
first issue of The Laborer, our
union marks giant step forward
on the road to progress. we now
have voice which can be raised
in times of crisis to speak the
facts, to inform our membership
on issues of vital concern, and
to more closely unite our BROTH
ers for mutual protection"
General Secretary Treasurer A.
PerSion submits a report of the
financial status of the organiza-
ton, with pictures of the office
equipment and bookkeeping system.
His figures are almost amazing,
as he says his unions 35-cent per
month per capita tax is the small
lest of any union in the A. F. of l..
The union was established in
1908, and it's total income for that
year was $5,342.34. In 1916 it was
So, ,397, ,877.26. In 1926 the general
fund amounted to $515, ,908.O3. By
1916 the fund had grown to $6,54O,-
424.94. The International now has
$5,842,862 in U. S. government
bonds, and since 1911 has paid
$2,05O, ,338.43 in death benefits to
families of its deceased members.
The record is there; it is clear.
It gives a severe jolt to labor
baiters who claim unions are
operated for personal gain by
racketeerS and dictatorS. If the
N. A. M. were only one-tenth as
democratic as the laborers and
other unions, this would be a better
world!

Two large audiences witnessed the pie t;ire last night. From expressions If those last night, Louis is still the champion. but all agree that loth fighters were on the defensive and each had a high regard for the ability of the other Louis was not the aggressive bomber he has been in previous fights. Wal colt is speedier than Louis, hits like a flash and out of the way. There are some mighty good cne-two work by toth. The two kncckdowns are also shown in slow motion. Walcott tripped in one Of the late rounds and this was net a knockdown. The best way is for all to go and see the picture, which is shown again to- night and Saturday, and make their own decision.

SEARCHING WiND' ISFEATURE NOW
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

A film that will go down in motion picture annals as one of the great entertainment gems is at the goth Century Theatre.
 It is Paramounts deeply moving Hal Wallis production, The Searching Wind" co-starring Rob- ert Young, Sylvia Sidney and Ann Richards.
 The Searching Wind is a pie turization of Lillian Hellman's hit play that tells the absorbing, adult story of an American diplomat, the woman he loves, and the wo- man he marries. Their three cornered romance is set in the capitals of the world against the seething turmoil of modern times.
 Robert Young as the diplomat gives a masterful performance of a man confused both in his per sonal and in his public life. Syl- via Sidney is seen as the news raperwoman whom he loves, but whose strong principles are at such variance with Young's that she breaks with him. He marries the socially prominent Ann Rich ards, the latter fully aware of the fact that his heart belongs to Miss Sidney.
 How the three resolve their pri- vate problem and how is is affect ed by world events, makes The Searching Wind" the exceptionally interesting, thought-provoking film 1t is.

ALASKA SHIPPING RATES REPORTED
 AS NOT "UNJUST''

The existing rate structure of the Alaska shipping operators can not be found to be unjust or un- reasonable" according to the opin- ion of three employees of the Maritime Commission who have presented their views to the com mission, according to Delegate E. L. Bartlett.
 The three men, Paul D. Page, Jr., solicitor; Clarence J. KoontZ, attorney; and Guy M. Carlon, rate analyst, have requested the com- mission ito hold the overall ex isting rate structures just and req sonable and to issue an ap- propriate order"
 Set forth to bolster the above contention is the following lan- guage in the brief:
 Tn Public Law 12, Congress de- ternlined it advisable to consider the Alaska situation an exception to the subsidy-rule and, in effect, subsidized the operation. AS hereto fore demonstrated, the existing subsidy is insufficient to bring about lowering rates to the point where they will encourage rather than retard the development of Alaska. Further subsidy is obviously required, but it should be clearly recognized as a sub sidy in aid of the development of Alaska, and not labeled as subsidy for the development of the Ameri- can merchant marine, for which development subsidizing Alaska trade is not necessary"
