Unions Boycott
Trade With Asa
.Lathrop Crew

Marine unions are serving notice
to all places of business that cater
to seamen that they will withdraw
their patronage from any business
that trades with the crew of the
ASA Lathrop."
Little or nothing is known about
the ship which came recently from
the east coast to enter the Alaska
trade. Seamen on ships stopping
at Seward have called it ghost
ship"
Labor Trouble
A source of labor trouble where
ever it has called since leaving the
east coast, she was known to have
left Tacoma on Oct. 7, and had
been picketed there. The under
standing was that the ship might
be sailing for Haines, Alaska.
Armed Crew
Sailors claimed the crew of the
Asa LathrOp is a floating COON
squad whose sole purpose is to
break labor unions engaged in
west coast trade. According to
their stories, crew members are
armed. Besides doing their work
as crew members, sailors report,
the crew of the mystery snip also
does all stevedoring work and car
go handling.
Boycott Notice
The boycott notice being posted
by marine unions in Alaska ports
reads as follows:
We are today serving notice to
all places of business that cater
to seaman's trade.
1--WE will boycott all places Of
business that cater 10 Asa Lathrop
or their trade.
"Seamen that have traded here
all these years and have always
given YOU our patronage, don't
want goons, finks and gangsters
such as the Lathrop crew to take
our jobs and we know, as fair
people, that you don't want finks
as customers.
However, if these finks trade
here-We will mott"
The word fink" is generally
used in reference to hired strike
breakers. These men are not
"scabs', because they don't want
jobs for themselves Their only
purpose is to break up a union
or to take control of it.

Census Of Bus.
For Seward
Is Under Way

Taking of the Federal business
census for Seward and the Seward
Recording District area of the
Kenai Peninsula began yesterday.
Paul Solka, Divisional Supervisor
for the Second and Fourth Divi-
sions, arrived in Seward this week
to take the census.
Solka explained that the unusu-
ally large increase in population
in the Third Division during the
past 10 years placed a heavy work
load on those charged with taking
the census in this Division. Ac-
cordingly, when work was COM
pleted in the Second and Fourth
Divisions, Clarence Heating, Ter
ritorial Census Supervisor, ordered
Solka here to assist in completion
of the business census.
Today Solka left with Territorial
Highway Patrolman George Puck
EFT to enumerate the Seward-Hope
Highway area and the Kenai area.
The Highway Patrol has kindly
consented to furnish transportation
for the work, he said.
Solka emphasized that the bust
ness census is federal project,
authorized by Congress, and is not
in any way connected with Ter
ritorial Or other Federal agencies.

are secret and will be used only
for the compilation of general
figures by the Bureau of Census.
No other governmental agencies
has access TO the reports which are
entirely confidential.
While this is the first time that
d business census has been ordered
in Alaka and Hawaii, the census
has been a regular duty Of the
Department of Commerce in the
United States since first authorized
in 1923 when Herbert Hoover was
secretary of commerce. At that
time the business census was made
part of the work of the Bureau of
Census at the request of business
organizations throughout the U. S.
Splendid cooperation of business
men in Fairbanks, Nenana and
Nome speeded completion of the
census in that area, according to
Solka. Before assuming his duties
with the Bureau of Census in July
Of this year, Solka was editor Of
Jessen's Weekly in Fairbanks.
Taking of the regular population
census will begin after the first
of the year.

Continued from Page One) that Bridges was admitted to the party in 1883, paid dues, attended meetings and took communist or ders in the 1884 strike.
 In an attempt to impeach Scho- makers testimony yesterday, Hal linan worked a trick which set the courtroom in an uproar and threatened new trouble for him. self. Hallinan is already under a six-months' delayed sentence for contempt of court.
 Hallinan had read several ques- tions and answers from a ten-year old court transcript and then ask ed Shoemaker if he remembered testifying he was not a commit mist. Shoemaker didn't remember being asked.
 Do you remeber," Hallinan went on, that you were asked the question, Are you a member of the communist party?' and you gave the answer, Who, me? Mo- Do you recall that?"
 That is very posSible," an sWered Shoemaker, But I do not recall it in those words, no. There were two hearings and I don't know Wrich one you were talk ing about. You'd have to let me see what went before that and af- ter that in the transcript"
 When the prosecution deman- ded Shoemaker be shown tn e transcript, Hallinan said he didn't claim those questions and an-

sWers were in the transcript.
 Government attorneys protest ed and Judge Harris said he would not have permitted the question ing if he hadn't believed it was in the transcript.
 "I wanted to trap him to see if he was the kind of man who would testify falsely" Hallinan said. "I did trap him."
 Judge Harris said he would take under advisement whether Hallinan's action violated rules of procedure.
 Earlier, under Hallinan's ques- tioning, Shoemaker said some one other than Bridges used the com munist party alias of "Rossi." In it's opening statement the govern ment said it would show Bridges was elected to the communist party central committee under the name of Rossi.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

The largest temple in the lost city
of Angkor is known as "Angkor Vat
or Anchor Wat" Sometimes 1t is
spoken of as the Vat"
Instead of being a single building,
Angkor Vat is a group of buildings.
The talest is 213 feet in height,
which means that it is about as tall
as a 19-story Office building.
Angkor Vat has five towers, and
they have carvings on both the in
side and the outside. Thousands OF
figures are shown, including the
outlines of men and women as we'll
as gods. Other figures are of lions,
elephants, birds and monkeys.
The grounds of the great temple
have an area of 400 acres. or almost
tWo-thirds of a square mile.
The walls of the temple buildings
contain blocks of sandstone. both
gray and brown, along with red
bricks. Some of the stones weigh
several tons. Careful study of them
seems to have proved that they were
cut from masses of rock in noun
tains which exist from 20 to 80 miles
away. 1t must have been great
task to move such stones. During
part of the way, they had to be taken
through land which is covered, at
present, by dense growth of jungle
plants Probably this land was
much the same 1000 years ago.
A picture story is provided in a
huge panel at Angkor Vat. This
panel is 100 feet long. and has more
than 1000 figures on it. The figures
make up several scenes in the life of
Hanamunt. the monkey king.
In one scene Hanamunt is strug-
Cling against two dragons. This is
in the midst of battle, with gods,
men and monkeys taking part. One
god is in a chariot drawn by a pair
of dragons.
The closing scene in the picture
story shows the fall of the monkey
king. He appears to have been
badly wounded, and is surrounded
by sorrowing group of monkeys,
including the monkey queen.
