UNION WINS POLL IN ALASKA SALMON INDUSTRY C. SEATTLE (UNS) The C. I. O. scored a major victory in the northwest when workers in the Alaska salmon canning industry voted by a strong majority in favor of the C. I.

As we pause to drop a flower, and possibly a tear, on the grave of someone who gave his life that certain principles might live, may we think of two other persons. First, may we think of the living, maimed or whole, ill or well, faced death and, in some instances, all but died for the continuation of ideals and institutions we hold dear. Second, let us think of the very young, who are having their first try at this earthly experience and how slim their chances will be if we allow again the utter folly of a world war. . The following! written old American, gives by a I us an inkling of what present day youth thinks: LET US THINK By JOHN B. PRICE Men! Men!! Listen! Listen!! You can hear it! There is a call to arms! There is a call to WAR!! Death lingering on every foot of ground! Disease in every ounce of water! Gurgle of death in the throats of thousands Pressure from the united forces of labor and an increasing development of labors political strength were major factors in this outstanding victory for social legislation. Labors League has served notice' that it would opwho pose every congressman hours legislafought wages and tion. Enactment of wages and hours legislation now seems more likely than at any time since President Roosevelt first asked Congress to act over a year ago. The final hurdle for this vital legislation will be in the task of adjusting differences between the House and Senate bills.

The meeting between Hitler and Mussolini, in which the two dictators toasted each other and made fulsome pledges of friendship, coming so soon on the new England-Italia- n agreement, has further mixed up the European crazy-quil- t. Most of the experts are coming to the conclusion that Mussolini is playing both ends against the middle. He wants to avoid trouble with Germany. He likewise wants to avoid trouble with France and England. He doesnt know what countries would be strongest in the event of war, and he naturally wants to back a winner. So he is (Continued on page 4) A great The House of Representatives in Congress Tuesday passed the Wages and Hours Bill by an overwhelming vote of 314 to 97. Intermountain states congressmen who voted for the measure were: Murdock and Robinson of Utah, Clark and White of Idaho, Greever of Wyoming, and Scrugham of Nevada. The measure was sent to the senate where it is expected to pass within the next few days. At last the members of congress are realizing that the people meant it when they gave Roose velt and New Deal policies such a resounding victory in the 1936 elec tions. This was the real significance of the hasty signing by 218 members of the House of the petition to release the bill from the paralyzing grip of the reactionary cabal on the House Rules committee. Members of this congress who for nearly two years have been conducting a virtual filibuster against all progressive legislation sought by the Administration and labor are now seeing the error of their ways as the 1938 elections draw nigh.

Let us not forget those mothers, nor those fathers who have deprived themselves of pleasures to give to us the picture of the right way to live. And they shall ask, for what? Why, to march with a band, to carry a gun, to find glory; and Dad might add, and the grave, the closing door of this life.
