THK i.; :il HOIK DAY.
It is not so long ago that any j
wili fore■ • tha' the territory of Al- .
;i.;v.K jjj a referendum authorized
for an • xpresaion on the subject. ;
overwhelmingly demanded a general ,
eight hour ' law. The minority ;
against it was so small that one
could almost say the eight hour day 1
demand was unanimous without ^
much iiiar- .-sion trorn the actual
fact.
The legislature lias been now over
Uvo ceks in session and so far
none of the legislators manifest any
inclination to respond to this eiglit
boar demand.
This siatc of aifairs is interrupted
only by ihe introduction of such a
lull lv Senator Sundback in the
Senate-, hut in the House, so lar. no
move has been made to bring the
popular demand to find realization
in a law.
The r* a mi lor this is because
cle 1 girlai:*rs do not think enough
<>l the in for demand to enforce this
«-xpr> ssioi. of opinion that was made
at the polls and the reason why
they tio not think enough ot tne ■
labor demand is because there is |
not enough working class solidarity,
us is manifested by the existance ot ^
strong unions in the territory, to
properly r> sent this negligence upon
tiis part ot the legislature.
» 4 i tstrial Worker points out
that such neglect of labor demands
will continue just as long as Labor
tails properl,' to come together and,
without coining together Labor lias
treugth enough to act - nothing.
We appeal to all workers to care
! all" consider rc.-ent events in tlte
I• i.jtoii statis with reference to the
triii.:!-' ot thi railroad brother
hood men for the eight hour da>.
hroi rho< 1 ■ st
paid In the service. Why? Th • h
:,]• .pi , ritooti men arc the ntosl re
I .I,,] • t.ii feared in tlte industry.
YViiv .' The brotherhood have Letter
working conditions titan any other
section of worke's in the employ of
the railroads. Why? Tlte brother
hood men work day by day along
side met who do not receive pay
enough after working ten. twelve i
and fourteen hours a day to pro
perly feed, clothe or she]' • tllein-|
selves. Why? Tin low. st paid, men
on the railroads are not lie brother-;
hoods by a long shot. The lowest j
paid men arc the men who do the j
hardest work. Why?
These questions may all be an-j
w.rcd by one word: Organization.
The brotherhood men are organized ;
and tin permanent way employees
,ro not Moreover when the brother
hood men themselves buried their
individual craft differences and con
solidated for a uniform policy and
uniform demand they were irro
- . t;;. 11■. Organization that's all.
And because the1 workers ot Al
aska art not properly organized or
ari t ot to a gre at extent organized
at all. the legislators can flout their
demands and make what disposal
1 hey wish of tin* referendum deci
sions ot the people.
Men will tumble over themselves
to join all kinds of fraternal orga
nizations and will ignore the labor
organization, because they sacrifice
to their own snobbish pride in the
vain hope' tiiat association with
some one with more money titan
themselves will not fight openly and
organize fearlessly for ther own in
terests.
Why go far afield? There is not
a man who works for wages In this
section, aye or a woman either, who
should not belong to a labor orga
nization. Why not make Nome one
hundred per cent unionist? What a
change would come over conditions
and how irresistibly the might of
such an organization would reflect
itself In every avenue of activity,
social, politcal, commercial, indus
rrial!
And why not? Why not? Except
That individuals are too indifferent
to tlte general welfare to make the
move that none the less would bet
ter tin ni individually to an infiniti
degree.
Vet it is not too late. It is new;
too late and there is no reason why
even now -right now. the workers
here mould not join the union and
gel busy.
frankly this is an organizatioi
a- ii in. it is addiessed to the work
ers .iml is directly in the inteie't
of the workers. Turn where we may
where we find organization power
ful and strong and united among
tu** workers, tin e we find the nest
conditions.
All effort to be effective must he
collective effort. Two heads are bet
1 ter than one and tlie individual is
pitifully powerless. The collective
effort of many workers is without
doubt great but the collective ef
fort of all workers is simply irre
■ sistibje.
Hence it is that the workers should
; join the union and Join rigiit now.
Now is the time to square oneself
and st..ml shoulder to shoulder with
fellow workers for the interest ot
1 all.
Local 240 of the VY. F. M. takes
in all workers. Invites them all to
share in the great labor movement.
The Nome Mine Workers I'nion has
kept up conditions in this camp
for the workers for many years. It |
has fought the good fight notwith-1
standing the defection or the fail- j
up* to join of many workers. Hut
the time is coming when to get any j
protection—-any protection, road j
that again, they must join a labor |
organization. The camp is down to
. a.-es and it is in that position be
,musi so many fail to take their
places with the union men.
Labor is slow to move. It suffers
from an immense lethargy. Frio '
rion and faction arc not inevitably i
w.:nting. Hard fillings grow be
times. Hut we live to forgivi and
I'c.rgr t. There is one issue before tn>1
i d iliat is tin industrial existence
upon which the worker's lives arc
built. To reform them, to better j
them. t° improve them, to achievt
finally industrial freedom: that is.
;h.i purpose of the struggle, the end
of organization.
Why should not those non-union
ists or unionists who have severed
connection with labor organizations,
shake off that fatal indifference and
once more and finally do their part
ai.d take their -diare of the struggle
for better conditions: to increase
labor's power that it may not only
be powerful hut irresistable.
We s-iy that this matter of orga
nizations is the great question. Tac
tics are important.but given the orga
| nization. tlie tactics will settle tbem
i selves. And the critics of the labor
I movement who stand outside and
| watch us struggle along should it
ihey were fair and manly get into
I tin labor movement instead of being
just wooden critics of the Ports of
live Men.
The workers belong in the labor
irganization -everyone of them.
T1 ' rc is no reason can lie advanced
for not being there. Do they find
fault with its tactics then they
should l>e in it to change them to
suit their improved notions. That
is the proper action. If a
union docs what one does not ap
prove of, then it is tlie duty to en
deavor to educate the union to a
! better way if one knows of it.
in union there is strength—it is
one of the oldest proverbs. Men
with the vital instinct unite for col
lective action. Men with the slave’s
instinct will remain outside to hug
their chains. Individual action
means final suppression.
