COOPERATION IN
 ALASKA SHIPPING
 URGED BY RIVERS

Delegates to the fifth annua, convention of the Alaska Territoria 1 Federation of Labor this afternoon heard Attorney-G General Ralph Riv- CTS in a talk in which he outlined 1 the facts of the Alaskan shipping situation.
 Rivers covered briefly the history which has brought the Territory to the present ultimatum from two major steamship companies who threaten to stop service to Alaska out of Seattle.
 Seattle, stated Rivers, has com pelled Alaska to knuckle under to a monopoly that has become bet tleneck plus to goods destined for the Territory.
 Our position is either Alaskan or otherwise" Rivers said. My posi- tion is Alaskan. The Seattle sh D. pers. backed by the vested inter- ests of teamsters and sailors unions, have aimed a gun at us. We must not take it lying down."
 Alaskans, Rivers stated, must make every effort to encourage and develop other sources of supplies. These are available in Portland and Prince Rupert.
 For more than 20 years we have teen discriminated against by two letters in Section 27 of the Jones Act Those letters. FIX, from the phrase excluding Alaska must eventually be changed to IN: in cluding Alaska"
 Yesterday afternoon various com mittees were appointed, credentials, rules and constitution, on officers and finance, organizing and griev- ance, legislation and resolutions, ar- and publicity.
 At the morning session today, committee reports were received.
 The convention, following this af- ternoon's session, convenes at g o'clock tomorrow morning.

 the Territorys continuing to carry the whole load
 l Commissioner of Education James c. Ryan, called for questioning on i the bill, stated that there are now | two communities that would be af- fected by it, with some others bor- dering on the 100 pupil status. Af- fected now would be Palmer, where approximately $50 pupils are en- rolled, with 18 or 19 teachers and full four-year high school pro- vided. The Palmer schools present budget is now about $77,00o, all paid by the Territory but with S50000 of it coming from the Alas ka Fund (Federal money. If in- corporated, the Territorial refund to Palmer would be about s6O000 per year, with the remainder of the schools cost met locally. Alaska Fund money would be used for other schools.
 The other school now having 100 pupils is at Dillingham;, where about l20 pupils-60 percent of them native-are enrolled. That school now costs the Territory $25,- 900 per year, with six teachers and a full high school Under the re- fund system, Dillingham; residents would have to meet Is percent of the cost, or about $3.000 per year. Schools just under the 100 mark are at Homer Wasilla and Bethel.
 Line of Demarkation
 Discussion developed that some Senators held the view the line Of demarkation should be lowered to 50 pupils, as the Board would still have discretionary power Yto see that no school was closed where the community was not able to carry the burden of it's share of support, or where a lowering of school standards might result. Senator Chas. D. Jones particularly impress cd the fact that schools with a high proportion of native enroll ment may be in disadvantageous position to pay share of expenses because of lower family incomes.
 Other Senators, led by Coffey, attacked the discretionary provi- sicn of the bill as drawn, holding that the measure should absolutely require the closing of a school where enrolment is 100 pupils or more.
 Dr. Ryan gave his own view that a mandatory measure is to be pre- ferred He said he had that in mind when he fixed the number at 100 pupils, feeling any community that large should have sufficient resources to bear direct school ex- pense. To question by Walker, Ryan admitted where discretion is invested in a board, there is con- siderable pressure brought to ifn- pede any change in prevailing con- ditions.

Memorial Farms
Heavy Producers

ROCKY MOUNT, Va.,-Mr. 5. ].
Phillips, President Of the Booker I.
Washington Birthplace Memorial,
Rocky Mount, Va, states that the
Memorial sweet potato farms located
in Alabama and Virginia will produce
approximately 5000 bushels, and hat
the memorial plans to ship more than
a million certified sweet potato plants
TO farmers throughout the South nexr
Spring. He made known the fact
that this operation is a part Of the
Field Service" Of the Booker II.
Washington Birthplace Memorial which
is designed to perpetuate his ideals
and teachings.
Sweet potato growing is a specially
Of Mr.. Phillips. When he was a
teacher Of Vocational Agriculture in
East Alabama, he supplied farmers
throughout Alabama and Georgia with
thousands Of sweet potato plants year
ly. In 1926, the State of Alabama fin.
anced a trip for him to study sweet
potato plant production in South
Georgia. As a County Agent in Arkau.
sas, he established a sweet potato
plant production project which sup
piled farmers with more than one
quarter million plants annually. When
he was Farm Superintendent al Tus-
kegee Institute, record yields were
produced under his supervision and
potatoes were available for students
on a year-round basis.
. Mr.. Phillips asserted that this Is
~ Of the several projects which the
Memorial hopes to establish through
out the country as a part Of the
Service Memorial" to Booker I.
Washington. Through such program,
the true spirit of Booker T. Washing
ton Of 'helpfulness towards others
will be maintained.
This potato growing project, ac-
cording to Mr.. Phillips, has been
made possible through funds realized
from the sales Of the Booker +.
Washington Memorial half dollars.
Such wholesale production of pota.
toes, coming at a time when the
world needs fo0d-stuffs, is a direct
contribution to human welfare.
