Fine Wi|dfowI Season
Due, Canada Reports
To Ducks Unlimited
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, July 11.-Large wild
duck crops in many areas Of West
ern Canada's nesting range have
been assured by constant water
levels throughout the southern
prairies and other conditions also
continue to favor l947s waterfowl
season, Ducks Unlimited reported
today.
Albert N. Day, director Of the
q. s. Fish and Wildlife Service.
mailed recommended dates for duck
hunting to the State Game Com
missions Tuesday. They were not
made public, but Day had previously
indicated that he would suggest
that the season and the bag limits
be reduced from those of year ago.
Last year shooting was permitted
As days with the bag limit cut to
seven from 10 allowed in 1945. The
hunting season that year was 80
days. Day estimated that the 1s47
duck population would be $4,000, 900
below the 100000 of 1916.
Bert w. Cartwright, chief natur-
alist of Ducks Unlimited, said in the
report today that as many ducks
had returned to Western Canada
for nesting as in the previous
year, but that excessive rains had
damaged breeding stock in Eastern
Saskatchewan and Southern Mani
toba.
Stable conditions in Southern
Saskatchewan and Alberta Offset
any losses in the eastern sector,
however, Cartwright estimated.
Ducks Unlimited reported heavy
flood losses among redheads and
canvasbacks occurred in Manitoba's

Communists Intensity
Efforts To Win Favor
Among CoIored Race

Communists ave intensified
their efforts in enlisting the sup
port of the American Negro and
won't be discouraged by the facts
which indicate the colored people
generally recognize that Commun-
lists seek to use them in developing
the "class struggle, FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover warns in signed
article in the February American
Magazine just published.
Mr.. Hoover exposes the hypo-
critical, scheming methods by
which the Communist party of the
United States hope to achieve what
he insists is their objective-the
destruction of the American way of
life. The red scourge of Commun-
ism. he says, is boring through the
United States like a termite with
power and influence that is all out
of proportion to the party's men,
bership.
Communist officials lament the
low percentage of Negro party
members" he writes. ''Under the
guise of championing a just cause,
the Communists seeks to further
his own diabolical ends. Much is
promised; little given.
1.-THE class-conscious Commun-
lists recognize Negroes as merely
allies of the American working
class Communists attempt to sup
ersede the thoroughly worthy
American Negro organizatinos as
the Negroes champion. Many lib
erals seeking to better the Negroes
plight, who will have no part of
the Communists real program and
whom the Communists cannot in
fluence, are labeled Trotskyites'.
Doubt is adroitly raised by the
Communists ncerning these
American leaders in Negro organi-
cations, in an effort to .discredit
them"
Negroes, along with war veter-
ans, trade unions, and Americas
youth generally are the particular
targets of Communists activities,
states the FBI Director who adds:
"If we are to preserve the
American way of life, the menace
of Communism must be met and
its forward march halted. Truth
.. is the best weapon to use
against Red Fascism in America
today"

Washington, D. C.-The 80th
Congress opened it's sessions in an
atmosphere apparently hostile to
organized labor.
Influential leaders of the new
Republican majority in both houses
of the new Congress emphasized
their determination to enact legis-
lation to restrict the right to strike
and to hamper the activity of trade
unions as the. first order of busi-
ness.
However, it was reported that
President Truman, in his State Of
the Union message to Congress,
would not recommend any changes
in the Wagner National Labor Re-
lations Act.
He is expected to limit his re-
quest for labor legislation to pro-

$40 PRISON Term ;

Irene Moore, AZ, who escaped the
death penalty in the slaying of her
husband when the Arizona Su-
preme Court ordered a new trial,
must serve six to 10 years in state
prison from this date.
Superior Judge Harold r. Sco-
vile imposed the term yesterday
Afternoon, following guilty plea
to manslaughter. In passing judg-
ment the court stated he took into
consideration the II months she
spent in death row at state prison
before the supreme court handed
down its decision.
The woman admitted shooting
her husband, Willie, local tavern
operator, to death during a jeal-
Gus quarrel in the living room OF
their home, 1915 East Jefferson ST.,
Aug. "a, 1915, but steadfastly
claimed she fired in self-defense
when he first shot at her.
A pistol, with one bullet dis
charged, was found in Moore's re-
laxed hand, and the prosecution
contended it was placed there by
the defendant to bolster her claim

Hotel Strike
ToContinue
Indefinitely

"It looks like the lockout at the
Hotel Westward Ho hotel will be
one of those affairs that will con-
tinue on and on" Secretary-Treas-
urer D. A. Baldwin of Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bar
tenders Union, said the other day,
after meeting composed of him
self, representative of the hotel
and several local labor leaders, in
a new attempt to get the parties
together and effect some kind of
settlement.
Secretary Baldwin said the hotel
representative admitted at the
meeting that he could think of
nothing the union could do that
would meet with the approval of
the hotel management.
From what little negotiation-if
it can be called that-the officers
of the hotel have done, it is more
and more apparent that nothing
less than complete surrender of
it's former workers would satisfy
the swanky hotel owners. That
would mean they would keep their
scab employees, and would pay
whatever they want to pay. 1t is
also plainly evident that their wish
to do so has nothing to do with
the so-called rigat-to-work law,
but is simply because they do not
want to pay living wage.
On the other hand, it is impos-
sible for the union to do anything
but hold out for it's original de-
mands, because it has contracts
with all other hotels in the city,
which will automatically revert to
whatever agreement is reached
with anothe remployer that has a
lower wage rate or different work.
ing conditions.
Under those circumstances, Bald
win said, so long as the union ex-
listed, so long would it fight the ho-
tel and maintain the picket line.
Some strikes have gone as long
as FIVE years in a few eastern cities
and it is possible the west can go
them five better!
