DEER HUNTING SEASON ENDING TODAY; BUCKS
 MOVE 10 L0WLANDy

Deer, which have Ceen exceed ingly hard to find for most hunters this season, have finally begun to move down from their high pas lures. Reports are coming in that hunters during the past few days are finding numetous bucks, and bringing home considerable venson.
 Many parties of hunters have left Juneau in the past few days and today being the last day of the sea- sen, are expected to return probab- ly on Sunday. Among the boats now out are the Norland, skip pered by Ken Junge the Naha, newly purchased by Earl Forsythe and John L. Sullivan, and Bud Lindstrom's Frederick F.

ROCKY ROAD TO PEACE

The plain fact is that there is no easy road to peace. It is long, stiff rocky climb. It costs almost as much in dollars, effort and plan ming as does war. The only differ ence is that it doesn't cost lives. I think the American people gradual ly are beginning to realize this, and that this is one reason why all sorts of people, little and big, have jumped at the chance to promote food for friendship.
 Seen and heard along the route of the Friendship Train: When the State Department one year ago pro- posed setting up its own overseas news service to get the right kind of American news to foreign coun- tries. the big American press asso- citations vigorously opposed the move. They argued that they were already distributing news overseas and the U. s. Government should not encroach.
 Today the most important story to be told the people of Europe is the genuine desire of the American public for peace and friendship and their never-ending help. When the ladies of five churches in Kemmer- CT, Wyoming, collect 10000 pounds of macaroni for the people of Italy, that's not only news, but it's some thing the people of Italy should know about

FRIENDSHIP DESPITE SNOW

It's not an easy story to trans late into words: The Elks of Cas- sia and Minidoka Counties, Idaho, contributing one full carload of wheat. There aren't any ElkS lodges in France and Italy, and Idaho wheat now sells for around S3 a bushel The University of Nevada pushing the collection of grain from all over that far-flung state. The Indian girls band at Reno. Two Chinese girls at Stockton dressed in Italian and French cos tunes; they wanted to be friends of the French and Italians, too. The Mormon Church in Kaysville, Utah, raising one carload of spec ial seed wheat for Greece. The United Churches Of Pendleton, Ore gen. far off the route of the train, sending a special carload. The stu dents of International House at Berkeley, Calf, going without one meal. The people of Santa Clara County, Calf, who got started a .ittle late, rushing boxcar to catch up with the train. The people of Sacramento contributing $68O unsolicited, while Governor Warren spoke on the station platform.
 What started out to be merely an ordinary freight train crossing the country has turned out to be a great human story of friendship the kind of friendship which has got to pervade the world if we are to save the world from atomic de- struction.

ernment reported.
The Census Bureau and the Bur-

mated that 1850, 900 persons were

but represents a loss of 9.8 percent
from 1910. The agencies joint

$500,000 KITTY FOR
POLITICAL ACTIVITY

establishment OF new O0lltlcal
department within the Int1 Ladies
Garment Workers. -AFL and crea-
tion of a $780, 900 fund for political
action and repeal of the Taft Hart
ley law were voted last week by the
unions executive board.
ILGWU President David Dublin
sky declared that the union would
work for the election of "candi-
dates pledged to progressive legis-
Iation in general and the repeal of
the iniquitous Taft Hartley law"
The $500,000 fund will be raised
by voluntary contributions. The
board said it had every reason to
believe that our membership will
respond eagerly to this appeal and
call for action" Immediate goal
will be to mobilize our full vot-
ing manpower in every state and
community, in every local union
and subdivision. This means a ma
tionwide drive for registration of
voters and for full participation in
forthcoming elections by our MEM
bers, their families and friends"
The board also decided to ask the
AFL convention to set up similar
political department.
In other actions the board in
cluded resolution asking the gov
ernment to admit 10000 displaced
persons to help fill the manpower
shortage in the cloak and suit in
dustry. A new legal department
was established with Morris p. Glu-
sheim, former NLRB associate gen.
eral counsel, as its director. The
board also agreed not to file anti
Communts affidavits with the MI
RIB until they are signed by top
AFL officials because "our sigma
lures are not any good without
theirs"
A proposal to call a conference
of democratic unions in the l6 ma
tions participating in the Marshall
plan for European rehabilitation
will be offered to the AFL con-
vention by the union. Objectives Of
the conference would include de-
velopment of program to advance
collective bargaining, labor rights,
wages and living standards and
working conditions. "Such a con-

Six Of Seven
Tuned dLoose
In LYnching
Judge Holds JailOr
Under Bench Warrant

Raleigh, N. C.-UPA)-One of
seven white men accused of an at
tempted lynching of Negro saw
mill worker was bound over to a
grand jury, and the jailor who turn
ed the man over to the lynch mob
was ordered arrested by a super
ior court Judge in Jackson last
week.
The special trial was ordered by
Gov. R. Gregg Cherry after grand
Jury last month found no cause for
action against the seven. One, Joe
Cunningham, confessed to the
lynehing attempt, and implicated
the other six.
Before you co." Superior Court
Judge J. p. Frizelle told the de-
dendants as they started to leave
theT courtroom, 81 want to make
this observation. This court is pass
ing only on probable case. 1t is
perfectly apparent" he observed,
Cii9I VIC why ICdSOIl yOu are dl-
lowed to go free is because of the
incompetency of Mr. Cunningham's
confession as it concerns you. If the
statement had been made in the
presence of the other six, it would
have been admitted"
Cunningham is now held for ac-
tion by grand jury in an ad-
joining county, while Edwards was
arrested on charges summarized by
Judge Frizelle: "Not once did you
beg them to desist" when the
seven demanded that he hand over
his prisoner, held on a charge of
attempted rape, charge later dis
missed by grand jury. "You let
them into the Negroes cell and
pointed him out. l couldn't leave

New Contract
Wins ] m m unity
From PenuIfie S

New York (LPA)-The pattern
chalked out by the Int'l Ladies
Garment Workers Union-AFL for
it's contracts while the Taft Hart
ley law is in effect, was made clear
last week with the signing Of the
first major contract since the law
was passed.
The $1,000 workers in the negli-
gee and lingerie industry in New
York are covered by the contract,
negotiated by Local 62 of the ILG.
A 7Hc pay rise is one feature of
the new agreement, which runs for
three years.
The union agrees not to call or
approve any strikes or work stop
pages while the contract is in eff
feet, unless an employer refuses
to take disputes to arbitration, or
refuses to accept an arbitrator's
decision.
If wildcat strike takes place,
the union agrees to endeavor IN
good faith to persuade the workers
to return to the job within 48 hours
after it is told of the walkout.
The union shop is maintained by
the new contract. The employers
and the union agree they will go
to the courts only if the other
party refuses to abide by the ar
bitration machinery set up by the
contract.

British Union
Congress Okoys
Druff Of Labor

Southport, England-(LPA)-By
a vote of nearly six to one, the
10th annual convention of the Bri-
tish Trades Union Congress last
week approved a government pro-
gram of man power control which
would permit the routing of labor
into crucial industries during the
country's crisis.
Labor Minister George Isaacs
asked for a short increase in the
work week so that the government
will be able to Secure an immedi-
ate increase of output where it
matters most, without an increase
of manpower." He told the conven-
tion that the additional government
powers would be used with discre-
tion and i'm consultation with union
officials.
81 can assure you," said Isaacs,
"that this power will be admins
tered in a reasonable and sympa-
thetic manner; that full regard
will be had to workers industrial
experience and personal circum-
stances and will be used only after
worker has been given a choice
of important work"
To aid the governments goal for
increased production, the Associat-
ed Society of Locomotive Engineers
& Firemen withdrew their resolu-
tion 4eaffirming the 40-hour week.
In other action the convention
overwhelmingly supported Foreign
Seer etary Bevin's appeal for closer
ties between Britain and the u. S.
Spokesman for the leftists, J. Horn
er of the Fire Brigade Union, as
sailed the American plan for Euro
pean rehabilitation in Europe and
demanded that Britain resume ne
gotiations for a Russian trade
agreement. American capitalism, he
contended, was moving toward war
with Russia and hoped to bring
England into the conflict. The U. S.
plan was defended by Dame Anne
Loughlin, member of the TUG gen.
eraI council who also maintained
that Russian policy is designed to
divide Europe .ather than unity it.
While the TUG was debating
emergency methods of increasing
domestic industrial production, a
wildcat strike of 10000 miners bit
heavily into the nations coal re-
serves. Thousands Of plants were
production curtailed, and
gas consumption reduced. President
Will Lawther, of the Natl Union of
Mineworkers, appealed futilely to
the workers in the nationalized
mines to return to the pits, ard
charged, at is criminal at this
time; in fact, it is more than Grim
inal, it is bordering on the stage
of insanity"
The walkout, which began Aug.
IL, was caused by a decree in
creasing by two feet the surface
of coal to be dug. 1t was estimated
that the additional two feet meant
20 to 30 minutes additional work
daily.

Railroads Face
New Demands By
5 More Unions

Washington-UPA)-New wage
demands faced the nations rail
roads this week on the heels of ar
arbitration boards award of a
I15%c an hour increase to over g
million Incorporating" employees
that is, those in all rail crafts ex-
cept direct train, engine and yard
service.
The II Brotherhoods represent
ing the 100000 employees voiced
disappointment" with the award
and left the door open for the
launching of a new wage move
ment.
President G. f. Leighty of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers and
chairman of the joint negotiating
committee of the II unions, con-
tended that the organizations
should have received the full zoe
increase they sought because OF
skyrocketing living costs and be-
cause OF sharp lag in rail wages
behind pay rates in other big indus
tries.
Failure of the board to make the
ir case retroactive to last April
25, as requested by the unions, also
was criticized by Leighty.
H. declared the unions "will lat
er determine what further steps
sl.l' be taken to secure equity
and Jus tice for our men,"
In addition, chiefs of five other
Railroad Observation-Disclosures rep
resenting nearly 100000 train, en-
CINE and yard service workers,
known as the Operating" groups
met in Cleveland this week to de-
eide whether to institute move
ment at once for higher pay.
These five have up to now con-
centrated on program of demands
for changes in working rules -
which involved some wage demands
- but the union leaders are now
considering a separate drive to OBJ
tain a general pay raise for the
workers they represent.
Should the 15Hc increase which
was granted to the Incorporating"
group also be extended to the sop
Grating" employees, the aggregate
payroll rise for rail employees would
run close to 100000, 900. For the
"non-ops" alone, the raise was esti-
mated at 100000 annually.
Extension of the 15hc boost to
65, 900 employees of the Railway Ex-
press Agency was negotiated by
the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
which represents most of the
workers. The Machinists and Black
which bargain for employees
in the Express Agency's repair
shops, also shared in the increase.
