RKi> TOP 1'HOM TIP.
Down in Juneau they have a clear
old squabble about the governorship
which is something interesting.
Incidentally because tlie Industrial
Worker of this town condemned the
action of tile canvassing board in:
not strictly abiding by the election
law. the Juneau Umpire quoted it
tis om* of the papers which was
“against Strong". Unfortunately we
didn't come across that copy of the
Blujdre in the belated mail, but we
presume it was. to that effect.
in i he editciria 1 1 hail
of the Dispatch is Misther M Grath,
who formerly adorned the Nugget
and who incidentally retired from
Nome liewspaperdom titter he had
ran foul of this paper and got all
he wanted in reply, hvidentiy we
have embittered the existence of
M’Grath some, and he still carri a
cam ‘-r in his heart whenever he be
thinks him of the days when he had
to take his medicine and say he
liked it from this paper. Naturally
anytime he can put in a good word
tor the Industrial Worker, he does
so, quite well.
Accordingly Red Top from Tip
got busy iu responding to the Em
pire in this wise:
"The Umpire counted the Ruby
Record-Citizen as one of the sup
porters of the Clique opposed to
Governor Strong and then with a
beautiful sang froid tells its readers
'that it has no knowledge of that
paper's stand upon the question. The
Umpire also says that the Industrial
Worker, another of the pillars ot
Tooley Street, is not an 1. W. W.
paper and is the paper of the West
ern Federation of Miners. Why, the
members of the Western Federation
* t,f Miners at Nome tried to have
'heir name taken off that paper but
were outvoted by the I \\ . \\ • mem
bers. Representative Philip Corri
gan, democratic candidate lor l . S.
Marshal at Nome, and democratic
member of the legislature will tell
the Umpire that he and his real la
bor union friends once contemplated
smashing the machinery of the pa
per with hatchets because of its
anarchistic policy. But the Dispatch
will not he hard upon this point .
■ Now that was real nice of Jack;
A long distance falsehood that as
long as he was in Nome he would
never have the temerity to utter that
this paper is not owned absolutely
and controlled completely by the
Western Federation of Miners and
that tlie members always held a
pride in having its name placed
upon its page so that even a Tippe
rary mugwump selling his curdled
brains for hire could read, learn and
inwardly digest.
who
Moreover if Phil Corrigan,
w is elected as strictly non-partisan
c andidate, for there were no demo
cratic nominees from ibis division,
«vjth his friends had any notion ot
smashing the machinery they never
let. it out and above all they never
disclosed the fact in the Union and
kept it very well to themselves. We
believe that this is a clever lihel on
Phil Corrigan hut that is neither
In re nor there.
But consider this M Grath. Here
he was afraid to blow hot or cold
The poor mutt used to have a sickly
sort of feeling when the opened the

he couldn't stand it any longer he

Seattle trying to get along with an
Alaska Review but - somewhat
couldn't connect with the shekels till
Bernie Stone for old time sake,
pitched him into an editorial chair
and told Johnny to he a good demo
crat and “agin Wiekersham”.
Johnny went some as a democrat
and anti-Wickershamite, according
to his lights, which are the lights
of his boss, and he can write in the
same emphatic way whether lie is on
the right, the left, or on top of the
pence so Jong as he is doing as the •
boss wants. Now he has received
employment from Ed. Russel on the
Wickersham Dispatch.
Does it bother M’Grath? We
should say not! All policies are alike
that come to use his red light brain
just sc the money is forthcoming,
and our old pal is boosting Wiek
ersham and showing that Strong’s
eanvassi ig board decision declaring
Wickersham elected is on a par with
the Declaration t.i Independence or
the l'::itod States Constitution.
As we stated we did not come
across the article of the Empire and
so do not know how far it went in
expounding the policies of this pa
per. We would have it
i (mite clear that whatever
has been the polity cf the Work
er. the I'nion lias never felt called
to rebuke the editor for his articles
(luring the length of time that he has
been associated with it and would
promptly tire him if it did. Not
even has that been done when we
j made life so pleasant for M Grath
j that he left us for ever!
j We dont blame Mac a bit, As a
I literary lady of somewhat easy jour
nalistic 'irtue and variable political
principle, we found her an interest
ing p.-yc Illogical study, even as her
painted prototype in more resrictecl
circles. He is wisely attending to
his pork chops and naturally enough
the insertion now and then of the
iron of fact and the wholesome stim
ulus of truth may have left behind
a rankling memory which justifies,
even years after, the lying statement
which ve have above quoted from
the Dispatch. It is a pity that the
well intentioned efforts to make
Johnny walk the straight and nar
row path of journalistic fact is so
unappreciated, and he still can never
forgive us the salutary but
unfortunately we observe,
wasted lessons. It is melan
choly to observe that although
we spared not the rod. the wayward
child is spoiled indeed. Tis’ a terror
y’are M’Grqth!
The Industrial Worker docs not
care three straws who is Governor
of Alaska. It is not material to the
issues covered by this paper. Y\’e
see nothing wrong with Strong.
Strong may have rendered a vicious
decision in the election and have
done it with the best intention in the
world—at that quite sincerely. \Ve
arc not called upon to judge him
for iiis intentions. This paper judged
the act and said it was a vicious
thing to establish a precedent and
to destroy the protection the Aus
tralian ballot had afforded the elect
ors.
That is beside the question just
now.
The I. W. W. has hot a thing to
do or sn.v al)out tills paper. Neither
the editor nor any members ot' the
Lora! which owns the paper and em
ploys the editor, are members of the
Industrial Workers of the World.
Some sympathize with that organi
zation and all believe in the prin
ciples of industrial unionism. It is
likely that now as formerly the ac
tive supporters of the I. W. W. form
of organization are in the minority.
That does not matter. If the paper
was of the Industrial Workers of the
World we would boast of the fact
just as readily as we contradict the
lies of M’Grath. M'Grath knows
this as well as anyone, for we told
him so often, cheerfully, nicely but
emphatically when we corrected his
vaporings before in Nome, before he
ran away!
We make allowances. We know
M'Grath has to make good with
1 Russel and we understand his posi
tion just as we understood it here
in Nome.

GERMAN SHIPS
ARE HELD IN RIO
(By D. R. Robertson, United Press
Staff Correspondent.)
RIO HE JANIERO. (By Mail)—!
There are twentyeight German mer 1
chantment interned in this and |
other Brazilian ports today which,
rumor has it, would become raiders
of American shipping in case of war
between the United States and Ger
many.
These ships total about 110,000
tons and are valued at $4,000,00.
Half of them are in this port and
the other scattered about other
Brazilian ports.
With two exceptions all these
jships are at liberty to put torsea
at any time. Ever since Brazil's
protest to Germany over the subma
rine blockade, attention has been
focused on the German ships by per
sistent stories that several of the
interned steamers were waiting a
favorable moment to make their es
cape.
Anchored in an open part of the
bay, well under the surveillance ot
the harbor's forts and the Braziian
fleet, these fourteen ships form a
listless and desolate group.
Of the ships interned here the
‘‘Sierra Salvada” is the largest with
4,951 tons net register. The others
! are the “Edenberg” 2.7S2 ton^.
: “Cap Roea" ' 3.090 tons, “Coburg"
4,200 tons, “Hohenstaufen” 4,0V,
| tons, “Roland” 4,255 tons. Henri
j otto” 1.921 tons, “Alrich” 4,2.-'"
: tons “Carl Woermann” 2,490 tons
“Posen” 4,094 tons. “Gertrude
| Woerman” 3,909 tons “Arnold An
! sinck” 2.890 tons, "Etruria” 3,72
and the "Frankin” 3,22.3 tons.
Besides these there were the
i Maunsa 3.733 tons, which entered
j on August 19th, 1914, but sailed a
few days later for Buenos Aires
and is at present interned in Chile,
and the “Prussia” which entered
August 20th, sailed for Santos five
days later and did not arrive at that
port for a month in spite of the
fact that it is but a day’s trip. An
inquiry undertaken by port authori
ties for the purpose of finding the
cause of this mysterious month’s
disappearance did not establish any
definite results. It’s an easy guess
however that, the “Prussia” did not
risk capture by British cruisers on
a mere pleasure trip and that some
raider ship benefitted in supplies
during her disappearance.
Another ship that broke the mo
notony of internment by venturing
into the open was the Edenberg,
which after twenty days of lying
idle sailed for Santos, where she
never arrived. One month later
the Edenberg returned calmly to
Rio, dropped her anchor and landed
the crew and passengers of the “In
dian Prince” which had been sunk
j by the German cruiser “Kronprinz j
■ Wilhelm”, which itself interned la- i
ter in a North American port. For |
| this adventure the “Edenberg” was !
I ordered unde r guard by the Brazi-j
i lian government.
Outside of the “Prussia" and the i
“Edenberg” any of the interned Ger j
| man ships have the right to leave!
I the harbor at will.
MOONEY TRIAL CONFINED
TO ATTORNEY STATEMENTS
—
SAN FRANSICO, June 12.—TIpm
Mooney trial today was devoted to j
statements by attorneys chiefly aiiil
preparations for taking testimony
of witnesses. Tiie defense plainly
intimates another frame-up amt
showed wherein after the trial of
Billings, they had smashed the testi
i tnony of the state witnesses to
| pieces proving perjury, after the
; trial of Mooney they had done the
saitu; thing and liidd up the Oxman
perjuries to the public loathing and
in this trial, it might be too late to
save her life, they would surely
break down the strongest lrante up
of the prosecution against Rena
Mooney.
