VXDKKXEATH THE WHITEWASH
The Industrial Worker had the
pleasure of, and it is hoped profit
from having read some voluminous
correspondence that was exchanged
octween the Department of the in
terior, Delegate Wickersham and
the management of the Morning3ido
J.isane Asylum relative to a letter
published in this paper by Frank
I,iIts and editorial comment there
in which excited the disapproval of ^
the asylum people and the Depart-,
ment.
Accompanying that whitewashing
roll of correspondence was the of- :
ficial calcominer in the form of a;
pamphlet issued by the Department
of the Interior and embodying the
report of inspectors and the expla
nation and additional testimony of
the Morningside insane asylum.
Before such a mass of testimony:
official, conclusive, repeated, the
Industrial Worker was fully pre
pared to retreat with little enough
credit for having advanced against
the outer defenses of the sanitar
ium.
But behold in a recent issue of
the Juneau Dispatch we get actual
glimpses of* the facts behind the
whitewash which it will take more
than an official or perfunctory deni
al to remove. The subjoined letter
speaks for itself,
Portland, Ore, May 20, 1910.
Editor Dispatch:
Dear Sir. In one of the Portland
leading papers of the 2r.tlr, Mr.
Dinkey of Morninside Hospital (In
sane Asylum) where the insane
from Alaska are sent and kept, tries
to defend the authorities in charge
from the criticism of mismanage
ment.
He lays the blame on the Nome
Chamber of Commerce. Well, I
want to say that 1 know something
about the above hospital. 1 worked
there just one year and the con
ditions there were rotten.
1 was employed as cook and the
man who had the contract of feed
ing the patients was stealing halt
of which was allowed to go as food
for the unfortunates. This man
whose name is Mavern would come
and take the best of everything eat
able to his own home.
He had one of the patients em
ployed as second cook at $40 per
month, and was still drawing allow
ance for him as a patient. This in
sane man would abuse the other
help in the kitchen. But I did not
interfere because it was his pri
vilege to do so.
• The food that the patients got
was had in quality and small in
quantity.
I got discharged because I dared
to criticize Mavern's food supply.
1 was there when the government
inspector came. During the time of
his inspection there was lots of food
for all hands. But as soon as he
went away things became the same
old way, and Mr. Mavern said that
they would have to cut down on the
grub for what they spent during
the government’s inspection. I now
thank you for the space in your pa
per and hope that you will bring
this to the notice of the public ot
Alaska on behalf of the poor un
fortunates who are defenseless
againts those vultures.
ED MULLINS.
86^ Union Avenue, Portland Ore.
The Industrial Worker knows the
defense that the Morningside peo
ple will set up against that letter.
Will say it beforehand. It is that
Mr. Mullins is a disgruntled em
ployee who was discharged for lazi
ness or for cheating or for bribery
or some other evil offense against
good conduct and good morals.
That is the usual defense. It will
not do to avoid It In this cass. And
it >8 nut probable that any attempt
will be made.
However, as stated here we get
the actual facts behind the white
wash. They are not pleasant facts.
They seem to confirm all the facts
as stated by Mr. Litts and by
others. And they further go to
show that the way the Industrial
Worker had these inspections dopea
out was right in line with the
facts.
Interesting would it be to know
the inner facts of all. The founda
tion for whitewash is that political
pull which compels the Morningside
I people to be immune and to have
all the powers that be rushing in
| to slobber whitewash over that in
stitution when criticism gets it in
bad with the people. That political
j pull is the real secret of its power.
Dont spend any more money on
that old watch. Buy a new one at
factory cost at Kellner's Closing Out
Sale.
