CX >MMUNICATED.
Editor Worker:
Dear Sir:—We desire to caution
the September 1st drys to carefully
investigate before signing any peti
ton. Male and female solicitors are
making a house to house canvass in
“behalf of the September 1st and the
January 1st liquor-license-question.
It is rumored that the liquor inter
ests have promised their rustlers 50
eents for each signature they se
cure. Some of the soaks who are
canvassing for the booze dumps
frequently misrepresent the purport
of their petition, they have secured
signatures from citizens who were
led to believe they were signing the
September 1st petition. Complaints
have been heard from men who say
they have been informed that their
names are attached to the saloon
petition. One well known citizen
emphatically stated that if his name
is attached to the January 1st liquor
license petition it is there without
his consent. The Honorable J. R.
Tucker has been notified to this ef
fect, the Judge said he will make
a thorough investigation. While
we are discussing the liquor ques
tion we might as well mention right
here we feel confident that the
Mayor-elect will fulfil his office with
out fear or favor. We sincerely
hope the Mayor-elect and his collea
gues will take a peep under the
famous lid before they screw the
'•lamps down tight as was supposed
to been done heretofore. Between
April 1915 and April 1916 $1887.30
was collected in fines etc. by the
Police department; raids were made
upon the gambling dens and many
tin-horns and suckers were arrested,
and $700.00 by special tax was also
collected from owners of Bawdy
houses in the redlight district be
tween the dates mentioned above.
$380.00 is the total amount for fines
etc. collected between April 1916 to
April 1917. It seems strange but
nevertheless it is a fact that not
one single raid or arrest has been
made in the gambling dens, which
have been running almost wide open
during the past year (especially
when a live sucker was in sight) It
is commonly known that rounders
of the macque element are always
GENERAL STRIKE WAS
FIZZLE GERMAN REPORT
BERLIN, April 17.—It is an
nounced through the semi-official
Overseas News Agency, since the
break with the United States now
practically the official war press
bureau of the government for all
foreign distribution, that the gen
eral strike which was promoted and
fomented by the extreme socialists
has proved a fizzle.
Some disturbances which took
place throughout the country In an
effort to carry out the strike order
have been suppressed and these
doubtless gave rise to the unfounded
reports as to food riots in German
cities.
No cities are mentioned in the re
port.
AMSTERDAM, April 17.—The an
nounced fizzle of the general strike
on hand to entice the fish into a
little game of poker in the side
rooms of some of the whiskey em
poriums as well as into other gamb
ling dens in this little burg. Some
of the local municipal officials say
the reason that no arrest for gamb
ling have been made during the past
year is because the Marshal's office
butted in.
It is about time that the munici
pal officials are awake to the fact
that it is as much their duty as it
tiie federal officials duty to sup
press any and all violations of the
law which is going on within the
^lunicipality of Nome regardless ot
who butts in or butts out. The
gambling question like the liquor
license question need a thorough in
vestigation.
Furthermore we wish to announce
for the benefit of the bunch ot
parasites around here that the so
called calamity howlers will be heard
from again regardless of the date
to which the liquor license will be
issued. COMMITTEE.

in Germany confirms many reports
as to domestic discontent within
the confines of the Teu
tonc nations which have
been leaking through under
ground channels to foreign nations.
While the statement is made that
the strike has proved a fizzle, it is
here held that it must have been
a disconcerting factor in the situa
tion and that it will be heard of
again.
The Russian revolt, it is admitted
by Germans here, will prove a very
disturbing factor in the internal
economy of the land of the Kaiser,
and may be a strong incentive to the
extremist radicals who are secretly
outraged at the continuance of the
war.
COMMUNICATED,
Editor Worker:
Dear Sir:—At this time when
Our President is asking the House
wives of the Nation to conserve
the food supply, in order that the
expense of living may be reduced
while we are engaged in, the present
war, would it not be well for the
men of this country to be willing
to bear a portion of the burden
and don’t you think brother that
you and I can curtail in our expend
itures and not only benefit ourselves
and families but the community in
which we reside.
The town of Nome with a popu
lation of approximately one thou
sand souls is supporting nine saloons
and placing the receipts conserva
tively they will amount to $500.00
per day from date until the open
ing of navigation (June 10th next)
thus making an expenditure to that
date of $£7,000.00 and from June
10th to September 1st the receipts
will probably be twice the above
amount or $1000.00 per day or a
total expenditure of $81,000.00. We
therefore have a total expenditure
for booze from April 17th to
September 1st next of $108,000.00
or in round numbers $100.00 for
every man, woman and child in
Nome.
The question now is. would it not
be far better for all concerned if
this money was spent with the
grocer, butcher, clothier etc., and
would not the entire community be
better morally, physically, mentally
and financially. Stop and considei
for just a moment and be fair to
your neighbor, your family, your
self and the community as a whole.
The saloon man says he is a good
spender and should be maintained
by the community, well, he can af
ford to spend when the fellow with
the pick and shovel is paying the ex
pense.
