THE ALASKA LABOR UNION
A now labor union has grown out of
continued disturbances among the min
ers at Tread well? disturbances which
recently went to the extreme of a riot
ous demonstration at a funeral.
The new organization is called the
Alaska Labor Union, and the name
probably indicates the scope contem
plated far it by its founders. The or
ganization limi s its membership to
citizens of the U. S. and those wbo
have declared their intention. This
stipulation is of course fonnded on pat
riotism and grows out of the fact, no
doubt, that the troubles at Treadwell
are charged to the foreign clement. It
is a most excellent provision.
One Other characteristic of the new
organizaiioo, and one that distinguishes
it as having taken a distinct step for
ward In the evolution of that great
mod rn movement known as "union
ism," the evolution of the relationship
between capital and labcr. (t is a pro
vision that makes for arbitration. It
is a point to which botb must ocme ?
a demand n ade by that justice that re
sides in men in the mass? and If capital
has not arrived, It is more to the credit
of labor that it is first on the ground.
UnJtr the l.iws of the Alaska Labor
Union a committee on arbitration,
seven members, is a permanent feature
of the organization. This committee ts
required to make a study of the subject,
to hear cmplalnts ot individuals of the
union and to work for the peaceful set
tlement of their difficulties. The com
mittee is not only to seek and gain
knowledge on the subject but to act as
an educational agency for the union, to
transmit to it facts and ideas gained in
Its search and in every way to seek
to advance the interests of its members
through the agencies of peace, rather
than of war. It is a movement that
mu*t at oncd enlist the good will of all
citizens who ? it follows ? will stand
ready with support In every encounter
where these means have been first sin
cerely employed.
And why should not this modern
movement for peace be born here, In
the cradle of so much discord? which Is
experience ? born in the freedom of the
frontier, to serve as a model for the
struggling old world? Here's a toast
to the Alaska La' -or Union.
THE DEMOCRATIC GUESS
Col. Albert J. Dulin. President of the
Br; An Democratic League of New York
has already begun figuring on the re
turns from next November's election.
Rather he has been drawing a map of
wbat appears to bim as the field of
battle. There is certainly no harm la
it and for some, coming from Col. Dulin,
who has Mr. Bryan's interest at heart,
sume interest must attach. The states
which are debatable and to be had for
the fighting, he thinks, are these:
FIGHTING GROUND
Colorado 5
Delaware 3
Idaho 3
Ilinois 27
Minnesota. 11
Montana 3
Nevada, 3
New Jersey 12
New York 39
South Dakote '4
Wisconsin 13
Total 123
There are 483 votes in the electoral
college, and 242 necessary to name the
president. Col. Dulin figures out 194
as certain for the republican and 166 for
the democratic. Out of tbe debatable
ground, therefore, the republicans
must securr 48 and tbe democats 76 in
order to win. However, there are
tho<e who would add and subtract fros
tbe sure-thing columns as set up by
Col. Du in as well as this debatable
ground. Here is the division as made:
REPUBLICAN VOTE
California 10
Connecticut 7
Kansas 10
Massachusetts 16
Indiana 15
Maine 6
kli higan 14
Nebraska 8
New Hampshire..... 4
North Dakota 4
Ohio..... 23
Oregon 4|
Pennsylvania 34
Rhode Island - 4
Utah 3
Vermont 4
Washington 5
West Virginia 7
Wyoming 3
Total 194
DEMOCRATIC VOTE
Arkarsaa. 9
Alabama 11
Florid* 5
Georgia 13
Kentucky 13
Maryland 8
Louisiana 0
Mississippi 10
Mlisourl 18
North Carolina. 12
Oklahoma 7
South Carolina 9
Tennessee 12
Texas t 18
Virginia. 12
Total 160
Now it will be noted that Kentucky,
which has just elected a republican sen
ator, is placed in the democratic column
?a also Missouri, which is as certainly
debatable as that several of those in the
debatable list belong in the sure repub
lican column. However, we have to be
entertained In the meantime and this
will serve to that end.

YOUNG LOCHINVAR'S WATERLOO
Young Ldohinvar came out of the West,
He wore a slouch hat and was otherwise dressed
As the gentlemen dress who round up the wild herds,
And he flourished a gun with sulphuriom words.
He sought a cife, where he leaned on the bar
And invited attention to Young Lochinvar.
"I'm a rattlesnake when people monkey with me,
I'm poison, I'm thunder and lightninir," a ?id he.
"1 have money to stuff into cracks, ".he declared;
"When I sasshiy down Wall street I have 'em all scared.
I'll corner Steel Common and send it to par
For the fun of the thin?!" shouted Young Lochinvar.
A "gent" with white hands, and a mild, modest air,
Who bad tailor-made clothes and an eye-glass, stoxl there;
And he said to the man from Montana: "You bet!
You're the greatest that ever has happened us ye';
You're the boss, you're the champio^, that's what you are! "
And he doped what was swallowed by Young Lochinvar.
That night in an alley, a terror whose head
Felt af big as a tub, awoke as one from the dead;
His pockets were empty and hanging outside;
His weapons were gone, and he sat there and cried
As he thought of Montana so fair aud so far
And the walking ?o poor for a Young Lochinvar.

GRAVEDIGGER BURIED ALIVE.
Interred In Hole Ho Wai Digging For
Another Man.
Thomas Dugan. a gravedlgger In

was buried alive In a grave which he
had dug for the body of another man.
The grave, which had been excavat

Dugan. burying him up to his armpits.
Fortunately the dirt fell In such a
way that Dugan was pinioned In his
tracks, his bead remaining above
gronnd, so that be could continue to
breathe.
Albert Keith, a fellow workman,
heard the cries of the Imprisoned maa
and went to his rescue. It took half
an hour to dig Dugan out of the hole
which he bad dug. He left bis boots
behind him when he was finally res
cued. The mau was In a very exhaust
ed condition from his experience.
