STATEHOOD DEFERRED Always Put Something A way RETENTION OF LIBERTY BASEBALL SERIES IS RAINED OUT Hoping to take part In a season-conciutSng :nter-town baseball series, a Smlthers 'ball within the trade unions appears COMMUNISM to be heading for a showdown which is making itself apparent not only as between employers " ;"and workers but in the way of division amid the ranks of the workers themselves. It is reaching a point where the business and economy of the t;oun-1 try may suffer seriously but possibly the most unfortunate part of the whole thing may easily be the unhappy effect upon workers and families from the .'..unemployment which threatens to be brought about. Co-incidental with the movement m the part of resume union elements to purge themselves of the 'communist influence is the growing disposition of at least some of the operators and employers to re-i use to deal with communist-tinged or communist-led unions. There is this aspect of the new water-: ...w front workers' dispute in the United States. In this part of the country the communistic-influenced '"'miners' union led workers to a position where an ; i(k entire large mining operation closed up completely, throwing 200-odd men, many of them with families, -into unemployment. Now there is very definite possibility thatthe large scale timber operators of this coast may close down their workings rather than deal further with the communist element which leads the International Woodworkers of America. Not only the dupes !of the , communists hut many honest and hard working men will be out of work, bringing in many cases suffering and discomfort t-t ;to the women and children of their families. Like-' wise, trouble and idleness may come to the faction-ally-torn " seamen. It is regrettable that the housecleaning of the unions should be so hurtful to the welfare of the 2 ;:; country economically, socially and industrially. To rthe average observer it all seems so unnecessary. " Undoubtedly, some of the operators are concerned Special Speaker is Heard at Kingdom Hall AT LEAST TWO YEARS Discussing the possibilities of Alaskan Statehood, Mr. Sund team came down from the interior during the Labor Day , week-end but all it got was the , ride. . Rain on Sunday and Monday afternoons made It lm-i possible to play either day. The team, which had arrived Sun1-! day afternoon, left yesterday borg said that tne people of Al- aska had expressed their desire for statehood but the prospect of its early granting was none too encouraging at this time. The Kingdom Hall on Sixth Avenue East was well filled Sunday afternoon when an ad-dres "Fight For Fredoln" was delivered by A. H. Melin, representative of the Watch Tower Society. The discourse, which occupied about half an hour, went at some length Into different stages of world history. To afternoon on its homeward way.

Mr. Melin, at some length, went into the subject of the Bill of Rights, explaining what it is and what it stood for. '-A petition was now being presented asking for the enactment, of a Bill of.

Few of them ,of course, have to worry about f acing personal discomfort even if their operations cease. ! They are in a secure position to wait for the cul-I mination which most undoubtedly will be to their ; jfjnaL benefit. On the other hand, the communist j jeaders, who by their actions are beginning to make ; clear their principal motive of disrupting business and industry and perpetuating (he industrial strife which keeps their well paid jobs going, are, of : course, happy.
