 Came the depress.on. With jobs scarce, the Black Legion got out of hand. Many labor people joined and escorted small businessmen before eerie night meetings to threaten mem with fires or bodily harm if they djscharged men-joinine the Black Legion was one way to keep your job. In Detroit, however, industriallsts were accused of using the Black Legion as vigilantes to combat organized labor. Heart of Ohios Black Legion was Lima, home of Congressman Jones, now nominated to the all-important Federal Communications Commis- sion. :. Also living in Lima is for mer national commander Virgil H. Effinger, who signed an affidavit in l938, nam ng Jones as a Black Legionnaire. Another Legion naire, Glenn E. Webb, then on the Black Legion initiating crew, swears Jones knelt before him on the Tap scotp farm outside Lima, took the oath ol membership. Ceremony occurred in 1885, when the Legion was riding tie crest.
 Organized Intolerance-About the time Congressman Jones joined the Black Legion, Roy Towards N Y. World Telegram described it: The Black Legion's crimes are part of a larger picture of intolerance in Am erica. They are cut from the same picture as anti-Red forays into campuses, vigilante and lynching mobs, anti-la labor terrorism and oth- CT manifestations of special-interest racketeering wrapped up in the garb of patriotism" Congress man Jones, who, if confirmed for the Federal Communications Com mission, could grant or withdraw radio-statlon licenses, take programs off the air and control radio, tele- graph and telephone, was long known as a friend of fascist-m mind ed Gerald L. K. Smith. He was praised and quoted by William Dud- ley Pelley, Father Coughlins "So- cial Justice" Court fishers "X-ray" His speeches were right down their alley Mary of same were indict- ed or convicted for sedition.

 He laid it down to greet his cal lers but Senator Russell, peering at the page. noticed it was the Re- cord of Monday, June 9. Looking more closely, Russell saw the tally os the 68-25 roll-call vote by which the Senate overrode the veto of the Labor Bill

 Note-While this explanation may have satisfied Russell, other Sem ators noted that in order to read Taft's speech, the President would have to turn the page on which the voting record was printed.

 DO FARMERS STRIKE?
 Farm Bureau. President Ed O'Neal, long enc of the smoothest lobby ists at the Capital, was almost but not quite, set back on his heels last week hy young Rep. Walter Hu- Der of Akron, Ohio, during ONears testimony before the Joint Con- gressional Committee on the Econ- omic Report.
 Huber, who is developing into a skillful debater, stopped ONeal to take up the question of strikes, the farm chieftain having said he might favor an even more drastic labor measure than the Taft Hart ley Bill
 How ther do you justify the strike having been called by the meat-produclng farmers last fall?" Huber asked the strike hating ONcal.
 If you can compel the working man to sell his labor for a certain price under certain conditions" per sisted the Ohio Congressman, then could you not compel the farmer to sell his produce, which he pro- cuces through his sweat, with the help of God and nature, for cer- tain price also?"
 T say we believe in collective bargaining; sure we do," ONeal replied
 Here Committee Chairman, Sen. Bcb Taft, jumped in apprehensively to protest: There is nothing in this Bill tthe Taft Hartley bilD that makes any man work for anything that he does not agree to work for, except that he continues to

RYDER AND STEWART
 ARE BOOMING TOWNS

kETCHIKAN = The town Of Stewart. B. C., has jumped in pop ulation from 800 or so year ago to 12OO or 1900, it was reported here last week by H. H. Spomer, formerly of Kelchikan, who oper. ates the mill, 8 general store and oil dock at Hyder, Alaska, adjoiu- ing Stewart.
 Spomer left Saturday for Prince Rupert on business. He said he may soon have his Hyder mill cut ting lumber for the new celanese plant in Prince Rupert whose en- gineers have been cruising timber near Stewart on Portland Canal.
 Gold mining IS coming back in the Hyder-S Stewart area but cold weather and deep snows delayed development work in some can Do. The Salmon Gold company has g. bout 40 men at work. having drilled about 800 feet of new tun- nel under the glacier above Hyder during the winter.
 The Big Four mine has been ct work for a year and will be ship ping concentrates soon, Dr. Mandy, a mining engineer from Vancou' 1T came north recently to supervise drilling and development
 Frank Blazek and Emil Brandt, the latter a war veteran, will dia- mond drill and build trail at their miue near Glacier Lake.
 Premier Reopens
 The Premier mine, largest in the vicinity, has begun operations after an Smonth shutdown due to miners strike. It has about l50 men on hand. The Indian mine a. cross the river from it, has been reopened and bcnkhouses are being built for it's summer crew.
 The Riverside tungsten mine in Hyder is operating steadily but it's officials are still seeking waiver of the Jones Act so its supplies can be shipped in on Canadian boats serving Stewart.
 Spomer said the Stewart tele- phone system is being rehabilitated with a line going into Hyder. A new radio station of the Alask;, Communications System also may be opened in Hyder soon. Spomer has been appointed U. s. Customs Agent at Hyder and is handling that position along with his .prt- Vate business, he reports.

DELEGATE TO SHOW
 CONGREsSMEN REAL FTSHIN


 SEATTL - A dispatch to he Seattle Times from Washington says postponement of Congressional action on Alaska's request for statehood conformed to the expect ations of Congressmen who antiei- pated committee members would want to exercise the 'prerogatiye of the junket"
 Delegate Bartlett told his col- leagues in the House that he was working on plans to give 27 con- mittee members the time of thelr lives and the best fishing on he North American continent" Coments of Washington state congressman included:
 Rep. Homer R. Jones (R), O f Bremerton termed the committee g action "a serious mistake" He add ed that Washington states passive attitude toward Alaskan statehood would cause misunderstanding and i'll will.
 Statehood Essential "Sta1ehood is essential to progress for Alaska he said, just as it has been for other sections of our country in the past. We have wit messed the Territory's inability to grew and prosper in the last so years under Territorial status and Federal domination of her re sources and people. That, in itself, should demonstrate that statehood is necessary.
 Rep. Walt Horan (R), Wenat- ehee, who also testified for state hood. said: T am happy to have the committee see Alaska, but don't think they needed the trip to appreciate the clear logic and earu- estness of testimony advanced at the hearings by Governor Gruen- ing and other informed citizens of the Territory"
 Rep. Henry Jackson (D) of Ev- erett said the committee action does not indicate lack of interest but follows the pattern of Hawaii.
 "The committee recommended statehood for Hawaii only after numerous hearings and trips of tn- yestigation during the last four or five sessions. The recent hearings are the first on statehood for Al. aska although bills have been in- troduced for statehood over the last 20 years"

YORK HERE
Wednesday, MAY 28)

Meeting York for the first time
this season, the Owls, playing err
rorless ball behind the fve-hit pitch
ing of Boots Poffenberger, won the
opening game of the series last Wed
nesday night, to l.
The White Roses scored their lone
run in the second, when Johnny Beh-
rends (the York right fielder who
has since been released) poled one
high over the center field wall. Boots
was in complete control the rest of
the way, keeping the other four hits
well scattered. He struck out five,
walked none, and never faced more
than four men in any innings. In
the first, third, fifth and ninth, he re-
tired the side in order.
The Owls scored their first run
in the second inning also, when,
after two were out, Daddario singled
to right and came in on Jack Lance's
triple to deep left. The second run
came in the sixth without benefit of
a hit. After Poffenberger and Hal
vonic had both grounded out, Jenis
drew walk. Yeash then grounded
to Merson at second, who let the
ball go through him for an error,
Jenis reaching third Then, when
Behrens threw to third trying to get
Jenis, Shoff let the ball get away
from him and Jenis scored.
Run number three was scored in
the seventh. Humphreys opened the
inning with a drive to center field
which rolled under the fence for q
ground rule double. Williams struck
out, but with Daddario at bat Hum
phrey went to third on a passed ball
Daddario then drove him home with
a single to deep short. The fourth
and final run came in the eighth, on
a single and stolen base by Jenis and
Yeash's single to left.
Cardey was the losing pitcher.
Final score; Hagerstown, 40
York, 1873.
