Seems Squint found new way
to clear brush. They take two trac-
tors, about thirty feet apart, and
connect them with a heavy chain
weighted down on the ground with
old iron. First they both go par
allel in one direction, then they go
back over the same swath In the
opposite direction and up comes
the brush-roots and all. Worked
fine and saved time.

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor. Daily Alaska En-
pire: The average man in this
part of the Territory does not
realize the inside story OF this
latest CLIO fiasco on Cook Inlet.
Johnny Weise. acting true to pre-
vious form, has again engineered
strike right in the middle OF the
Red Salmon run on Cook Inlet.
This CLIO Union even had the gall
to announce a few weeks before
the season opened that it was going
to happen again like it did during
the 1948 season. What is this, just
another vicious attack upon the
resident fishermen? II it isn't rot
ten, he surely shows bad taste III
perfume.
A few years back the resident
fishermen on the Inlet petitioned
the AFL for a charter of their
own to escape the unfairness of the
absentee ClIO dictatorship which
was so ruthless to local homestead
ers who depend upon this fishing
to augment their meager subsis-
lance on their land. Now, last sea-
son and this one, the resident AFL
fishermen were able to come to a
settlement for the entire season,
The CLIO started the season this
year, the same as last year, under
the AFL terms and again pulled
a mid-seasOn strike.
Now Johnny Weise knows that
the fishing has to te done while
the salmon are running. He knows
that it would be better by far to
reach an agreement before the
run, and he knows that his tactics
are hurting the residents worse
than the non-residents. Yet ne
fails to see the light and mend his
ways.
You will note that the CLIO con-
centrates upon fisheries, longshore-
ing, mining and key manufacturing.
You will also note that most OF
these unions have failed to qualify
under the "Anti-Commy" Provision
of the Taft Hartley. Could there be
any, or some, connection? Think
it over!

The Theft rrehlssa

WILLIAMSON does manage to be-
come rather heated over reports OF
gigantic diamond thefts from his
property. To answer the charge
that nearly half his gem stones are
stolen he asks the shrewd ques-
ton: how can anyone tell how
much is stolen, Then he laughs
and tells the story Of a clever
demonstrating system de-
vised by one crook.
A man who owned small mine
not far away was regularly buying
Williamson diamonds from native
workers. At night he salted them
away in his own mine. The next
day he merely worked them out in
what seemed to be natural
process.
The beauty Of the system was
that officially, he was able to de-
clare them as freshly mined uncut
stones from his own land and sell
them at the legal market price.
Otherwise he would have been
forced to sell at loss on the black
market.

son has ordered X-ray and fiuogo-
scope equipment. This will be
used. as on other mines, to test
natives suspected of swallowing
stones. One South African native
was found to have % diamonds in
his stomach. But such security is
a minor matter. According to the
doctor, he has lots of other work
to do. full time.
But hadn't he dreamed. during
