Entered us second class matter March 1, 1911, al the post office at
ftrune, Alaska, under the Act of March 8, 187V.
Nome, Alaska, May 8, 101(1,
A IjAliOK question.
The president of the Alaska Fish
Co. who lives betimes in Ketchikan
.returning from a trip to the Hawaii
an Islands, we are told, came back
declaring that the Japanese, native
Hawaiians and Chinese who are born
under the American flag hail witn
delight their American citizenship
and will make splendid American
citizens.
Now all that is quite possible and
not at all improbable. But la view
of the attitude taken up by can
neries heretofore, on) suspects that
the enthusiasm of Mr. Johnstone the
president aforesaid is duo not so
much to the patriotism of the Am
erican born orientals is to the fact
that they are available as a cheap
labor supply for the canneries.
And in thin conuoction, it may be
woll to say, labor should have no
objection to orientals making a liv
ing by working for wages provided
that they asked for and insisted
upon getting the standard which or
ganizations uphold. And furthermore
when labor fails to organize these
ajid then turns and denounces
such labor without putting forth any
effort to aid them in getting better
wages, labor is failing in its duty to
itsolf and is acting in a wholly in
consistent not to say illogical man
ner.
To closo the doors of organization
to orientals and then abuse them
for working below tho standard of
Much orgaization is both a foolish
and dangerous policy.
NOME HA HI H>lt
Doubtless as a general preposition
the erection of a substantial break
water and harbor for all Nome
.shipping is a most desirable thing,
D'ut quite evidently the enormous
costs of such construction work dis
mays tho department and it will not
be considered.
The necessity for a port for the
mosquito fleet is however urgent
There will after the war bo a revi
val in the trading industry and with
out question it would be desirable
to have the mouth of Snake river in
ouch condition as to have it available
for mosquito shipping.
The costs of a breakwater such
as was in the mind of the govern
ment officials would bo too great to
expect that chunk of pork would be
distributed in these wilds where the
representative in Congress him not
a. vote, but that’s neither here nor
thero.
The most important feature of the
department’s reply to the Chamber
-of Commerce is the fact that it is
considered too costly and the matter
of life protection which it would af
ford is considired too trivival to even
consider. Well we live in days when
human life is considered cheap.
Compensation act dovicors vie with
one another in evolving the cheap
est possible compensation, and if in
the advisability of public works ana
a consideration pro and con, one
question and one only, the costs of
construction, enter irto the mattei
us of vital import, while the human
life factor is ignored, we have only
to recognize that that is the usual
syitorn.
i-iome day there will come a time
,wlion the saving of human lifo will
to considered of even more vital
importance than the cost of construc
tion. and anything that will redound
to human benefit and human life
protection will receive premier con
sideration.
PROSPERITY.
The East is luxuriating in prosper
ity All reports so indicate. Mono
id easy and circulates freely, indus
trial activity is marked. Gold is ar
riving in the country in volumes.
The balance of trade is favorable
Tho country is a creditor nation
where heretofore ’ it has been s
dob:or. it’s all lovely. And here’s
the March report of the Public Em
ployment Bureau of New York city
which sounds its tin horn to add to
the music of the brass band pros
perity: “Orders for factory hands
both male and female and ranging
from $5 to $8 per week arc arriving
daily.” That's some good old pros
perity. Nor is this all of the delight
ful boom that i3 now being heralded
tp the world. So great is this abun
dant old prosperity that Mrs. Lillian
I>. Wald shows that children 1 and
8 years old are engaged in Newark,
carding buttons 12 V& hours a day
for 2 cents a gross”. Prosperity.
Well, some.
JVO I3SLK.
The German government seems
determined to leave President Wil
son no patriotic issue for the No
vember elections that might off-set
in some way the evident intention
of the Republicans to stage their
little political drama called "The
Jingo: or At tho Drop of the Hat”.
One cannot question the direction
of the keynote speech of Root who
seems to have out-Rocsovcltcd
Roosevelt in his eagerness
for an entry into the War Game
on high principles. That this couln
have been offset by tho conversion
of President Wilson to preparedness
was not quite clear, but if to uphold
the American interpretation of sub
marine warfare's connection with in
ternational law, relations had been
severed, Wflson would have com
pletely taken the wind from the re
publican sails.
But the German willingness to
ooncede the demands of Wilson
has knocked whatever consolaton
the democrats may have had from
the strong “note”, sky high.
The almost certain fact that the
progressives will unite with the re
gular republicans bodes no good for
the possible democratic victory that
is hoped for. The democratic party
is a minority party and tho President
was electod by a minority of all the
votes cast in the eloction. The pro
gressives and republicans under any
condition that could be imagined,
outnumber the democrats and why
as in some quarters Wilson’s re-elec
tion is considered certain is far from
clear.
THK ANTHRACITE KETT LAMENT
The settlement of the anthracite
coal difficulties between employers
and miners is In the nature of a
compromise. The miners got an in
crease, recognition to a certain ex
tent, and are unquestionably In a
stronger position today than they
have ever been before. But their
gains have been very moderate.
Their increase is one to which they
have long ago b"en entitled and one
which under ordinary circumstances
should have been forthcoming years
ago.
On the other hand never again,
in all probability will the miners
face such exceedingly favorable con
ditions for winning out their de
mands. The main supply of labor
is denied operators, There is in some
camps an actual shortage. The con
tinuous supply that immigration af
forded is practically cut off. In
fact it was a case where the em
ployers would have been compelled
to give in.
The same can bo said of tho bi
tuminous coal mining conditions al
though the gains made thore were
somewhat more substantial. Even
there howover the gains were not
what they should be and what they
would have boen had the United
Mine Workers acted with the noedea
industrial solidarity to enforce in
full this demands. When
unions accept compromises when
every condition is favorable what
are they able to when con
ditions are unfavorable in these in
dustries. Is a contract worth what
it means simply because it carries a
check-off?
