EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF
LABOR MEETS AT MONTREAL
MONTREAL, Que., June 7 (by As
sociated Press).—Denunciation of Bol
shevism, profiteering, the action of
^the United States government in in
voking the food control law against
the" late miner’s strike, and the fail
ure of the American congress to take
^action to control the cost of living
are among the outstanding features
of the annual report of the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor presented today to the an
nual convention here.
With the council’s review of organ
ized labor’s position and activities for
the last year, was also presented “a
specific program for remedy.”
The Cummings railroad law was de
nounced. as was the Kansas law es
tablishing the court of industrial re
lations. The high cost of living was
laid largely at the door of “big pro
fiteers” while the report declared the
United States government, principal
ly through the department of justice,
“has conducted a campaign of stupid
ity.”
Congress was assailed for cutting
appropriations designed to carry on
the work of collateral branches of
the department of labor and for var
ious proposals, such as the sedition
bill, which the report says the labor
movement was instrumental in defeat
ing.
In its reference to the foreign
field, the report denounced what it
characterized as propaganda for Am
erican intervention in Mexico and de
clared that the executive council sees
“no justification for interference,”
which it argues would be in the inter
est of exploication of its workers, and
its boundless wealth of oil and its
minerals.”
CANADIAN LABOR PARTY
MONTREAL, June 7 (by Associated
Press).—Leaders of the progressive
wing of the Federation of Labor de
clare that an effort will be made at
the annual convention opening here
today to lay the foundation for the
establishment of a political party in

ROAD APPROPRIATION
FOR ALASKA HAS BEEN
RAISED TO $350,000
Attorney T. J. Donohue has receiv
ed a telegram from Delegate Georg-;
B. Grigsby stating that the house had
passed the army appropriations bill
carrying $350,000 for roads and trails
g, in Alaska.
This sum was agreed to by the com
mittee only after Delegate Grigsby
and Col. W. P. Richardson had ap
peared before its members, showing
that the amount allowed, $100,000, was
pitifully inadequate for the purposes
needed.
This means that Col. Gotwals will
have sufficient moneys on hand to
make permanent repairs on the gov
ernment trail to Willow creek and
that the rest of the Territory will
not be neglected.
SELECT PRINCIPAL FOR
SEWARD’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Miss Jessica Don Carlos, of Los An
geles, a graduate of Stanford univer
sity in 1812, bachelor of arts, has been
selected as the principal of the Seward
public schools and also high school in
structor. Miss Don Carlos was for
five years a teacher in high schools in
Los Angeles. During five months of
last year she was doing welfare work
in the devastated area of France for
the United States.
VALDEZITE SPENDS
MANY WEARY HOURS
ON LONESOME ROCK
Ralph Wintler, of Valdez, has a
faculty of getting into more trouble
and emerging scathless than any man
on our visiting list. Recently he was
marooned for several weeks in his
cabin in the Port Wells district, and
was forced to perform a surgical oper
ation on an injured leg with his pocket
knife, later drifting about in his boat
in an unconscious condition for sev
eral hours.
About a week ago the launch Sunset
of Cordova, which was cruising in the
vicinity of Ester passage, a tributary
of the Port Wells district, picked up
the I and U, Wintler’s boat in a water
logged condition, with a hole stove in
her bows. Ralph’s coat, hat and pipe
were found aboard, and after a search
along the shores of the rock inlet, it
was feared he had at last met his
fate.
But the other day a boatman was
passing by one of the Dutch group,
a collection of small islets at the
mouth of Port Wells, and chanced
upon the shipwrecked man, sitting on
the point of a large pinnacle, waiting
to be rescued. Beyond hunger and
thirst he was all right and in good
spirits.

PICTURE PLAY PORTRAYS |
CHARACTER AND HEROISM
OF NOTED ENGLISH NURSE
In “The Cavell Case,” tonight’s fea
ture at the Empress, Julia Arthur,
famous actress of the stage, makes her
screen debut as Edith Cavell, the Brit
ish Red Cross nurse whom the Ger
mans shot.
This is not a war picture, if that
term is taken to mean spectacular
battle scenes. The sole aim has been
to portray the splendid heroism of
Edith Cavell, which exemplifies the
part which women played in the war.
Edith Cavell was not a spy; she was
not even accused of being one. But
when Brand Whitlock, American am
bassador to Belgium,' plead, all night,
for her life, the German brute
answered: “I am only sorry wo
haven’t got four or five English
women to shoot.” And the shot that \
killed Edith Cavell was the “shot that
rang around the world, and raised an
army overnight—the shot that killed
the Hohenzollern hope of victory.”
An intense picture, intermingling j
drama and romance and tragedy into j
a story that has stirred the heart of!
the world.
