-,d hoard for tlu regulation eight
hour work day.
It is no wonder that so many
businessmen in X mm are putting on
i In lamentation pedal on their trade
organs about business being dull
this season. The men who contri
buted to Nome's productive capacity
were file same men who day in and
day out sought to better labor con
ditions in the mines, and who lot
this found that many employers did
not want them at any price, and
loi al men of business aided and
abetted this black listing by going
out of their way to support scab
camps and by sending out help to
them from among those whom they
knew were in stub a hapless condi-|
tion as that tin y wanted the jon |
regardless of the pay and who did i
not belong and had no intention ot
belonging to organized labor. They
made it tlmir business to supply
■ hi Inn o non-union or sour dough
-• ah labor with job: so that the ef
forts of the union men to improve;
wage conditions and general condl
tioi ot lain r might be futile.
This resulted in many workers j
having to leave Nome. Not that ;
they left much. Tin best they left |
was a poor job and their blankets
w ilt with them. These nieti went I
to work in such camps as Dime and
hv their own efforts opened up that
nun try.
The hardships of that life wore
preferred to intolerable associations
with scabs and the still more intol
erable conditions of labor provided
by scab herders, and the pity of it
is that now that development ot
Dime creek is aiding the very men
in business here who helped to
make Nome what it is today, with
a payroll that is negligible and with
several poor haywire outfits trying
so get human beings to labor foi
52.40 a legal workday in the mines,
lower than is being paid the Mex
icans under peonage conditions.
Wt hope that the miners in Dime
will still maintain their union .orga
nization. They have so much to up
hold that is worthy of upholding
and so many interests to protect
that art w .r.ky protecting, that
tiny -mould keep alive the organiza
tion with a charter of their own
which will keep them still in the
labor movement ready to do then
.--hart .. ■ always have bt - n. tot
the betterment of their class.
Dime i reek will be similar in
many r spt-i ts to other camps. After
union men have established good
working conditions there, tiie stabs
will enter also with their odorifer
ous presence and proceed to destroy
where they were afraid to build up.
The scabs will bring their tainted
and trawling sycophancy lor a job
with them and endeavored to secure
work regardless of what the con
ditions may have been which better
minded workers have created.
They should be kept out by rigid
union conditions as a matter of
sell protection, and for the same
reason that the skunk is chased as
far away as possible from human
habitation. And that buzzardlke
being, tin s< aldierder. should also
!)•• regarded as an unwelcome guest.
It is immaterial to this vulture how
a noth r man lives. He enters a camp
and with a total disregard of condi
tions • -tablished. proceeds to ex
ploit tin- workers to the limit.
I'pon such as these no sort ot
good opinion can center. They
would pollute paradise with their
evil presence, and th ir immersion
in even sacred watt rs would poison
the countryside.
For these reasons and as a mat
ter of self protection the workers
i t Dine- should organiz< and main
tain their organization. I hey should
•cure the support or every union
man there or every former member
of organized labor to keep theii
l amp as it i:-. sweet and el.--an am!
wholesome and manly. They should
organize to keep the tilty scab vt r
mil out of it as much as to prevent
in effort upon the part of unsavory
seabherders getting a foot hold
t herein.
The Dime creek miners know
their experiences in Nome. They
know what they went through batt
liny against so powerful influences
to uphold organized labor. They
know how some of them went out ot
Nome, after aiding in its wealth pro
duction since it started as < amp.
with their blankets only. They
saw businessmen whom they had
built up in business by their sup
port rustle men for the scab camps
while they sat around eating beans
rather than live under conditions
of peonage.
That lesson will surely not have
been lost upon them. They have
had too much experience with the
worker's struggles in the .past to al
low the same influences which would
have starved them here to attempt
ili” same thing down there in their
own tamp.
For that reason it is in their
.'.vn vital interest to preserve intact
all organization of the workers
whereby they could mutually pro
:<•! t themselves against the many
for- ti.-ed to humiliate and de
le, organized labor.
It is a fine thing to live among
in.-n. Even the galleyslave chained
to his oarbench regretted leaving
the untamed spirits that had to
struggle in confinement around him.
But it is not a fine thing to live
m constant contamination with thc
scab and scab herder whose'foul
presence would necessitate deodor
ants at the pearly gates. It is to
he avoided at all costs.
INADKQIWTK.
The Snow Bill appropriating but
fifty per cent of the total costs oi 1
maintenance for the schools within i
municipalities is entirely inade
quate. It Is especially inadequate
in Nome where , tax evasion has
reached that sublime plane of being
a fine art.
It is not to be expect ad that the
Council will prepare its -If to meet
the necessary costs of the school ai-!
though the school is the greatest as
set of the city and the greatest in- i
dueement which merchants can put \
forward to induce families to stay
here over the winter.
But it is to be hoped that before
too late strenuous efforts will be
made to maintain the standard cf
the school, even at the fearful ex
pense of making the owners of per
sonal property pay a reasonable
legal taxation.

BERLIN? March 20 (By Mail) —
One of the biggest problems con
fronting tin Reichstag, which recon
vened In re today is that of increas
ing the birth rate in Germany. Ma e.
radical proposals have been made
and the government will sift them
all.
The Committee of 28 appointed
to investigate this matter is expected
to report. The more conservative
proposals include economic steps
to make earlier marriages possible;
higher wages, regulation of vice and
the limitation of disease, making
marriage easier.
Other proposals include heavy
bachelor taxes, plural voting rights
for men with large families and
money premiums for mothers bear
ing many children.
Another plan is to make profcs
sonal education courses shorter so
young lawyers, doctors and profcs J
sional men can get established and
married before their 25th or 30th
year.
