Since everyone is still talking!
Shusbaua we make no apologies for j
again buttin' in without as much as
by your leave.
The Industrial Worker believes
that the Shushana strike is a good j
one the facts are that pay has been
foud over quite an extensive area
but it will cost a considerable sum
to get in, and it will cost still more
to live when one gets in.
Next summer there will be lots of
work there, but in the meantime
there is the long winter to be passed
through when there is no mining
and even now it is dollars to dough
nuts there are men enough on the
way or actually in the camp to do
the work which will be required in ,
the way of establishing towns, etc. j
For this reason the Shushana at this
stage of the game will be a good
place to stay away from for the wage |
worker until next spring, when it is j
likely that things will hum as they j
have not been humming in any of
the older camps for some time in
Alaska. To this end there fore there ;
is no reason for any precipitous rush
to the new camp, and taking every
thing into consideration none will
lose and all will gain somewhat by
biding their time a wee bit until j
definite reliable and non-conflicting
reports arrive. It is a positive cer
tainty that a good and rich strike
has been made but it is also a posi- |
tive certainty that mining will not
get under weigh for a considerable!
time, and that that same meantime
will be interspersed with all kinds
of trouble which will end in litiga
tion gun play and worse if all ac
counts as to claim jumping and re
staking by power of attorney are
correct.
The man with small capital who
can afford to lay up a stock of s ip
fr»]ies for the winter and take chanc-es
in getting work but at the same
time being able to do without it if
necessary, can with advantage to
himself go there, but as the vast ma
jority who are close to the diggings
along the coast and the interior
points have already stampeded or
will later stampede it is a good
policy for the man who has but
scanty savings to hang on to his wad
and wait until the following year
before venturing there.
IVe want it distinctly understood
that the Industrial Worker is not
fearful that this camp will be de
populated. There are too many here
who have interests which attach
them to this camp and will attach
them here for some time for such a
fear to be anything but absurd. The
majority of those who are going out
side would go outside in any event
and to be guilty of trying to keep
any of those w ho would do better by
going outside and trying their for
tunes elsewhere is far from the
policy of this paper. The advice
here tendered is advice that is
founded upon the personal experi
ence of the writer who has witness
ed the consequences of premature
stampeding too often not to be pre
pared to warn against any such a
foolish act.
This stampeding business is more
or less of a gamb’e anyhow. It is
likely that some will profit from
their trip to Shushana but it is al
most a positive certainty that there
will be far more who will have noth
ing but disappointment for their
pains. Over the hills the land is
bright said the poet, and he is
merely voicing the sentiment that
each and every stampeder clings to
as he mushes to the latest El Dorado.
Yet an arrival there unfortunately
but very naturally brings with it
merely the realization that many in
deed are called but few are chosen
by fate to carry the prizes which are
as few as far between It wou'd
be a poor old world if there were for
all this no adventurous spirits who
would dare luck and danger in going
hither or thither as the call of the
wild seised their hearts. And there
is something fascinating in the des
perate game for the desperate stakes
that every stampeder plays. Few
can resist it, and if the truth has to
be confessed even those who can
fitly realise that it is a folly, often
times get the grip of the wanderlust
strongest upon their minds.
We have endeavored from the
very beginning to publish every iota
of news concerning this strike that
came our way. It is one that has ^
occasioned no end of excitement. We
notice that the Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer runs a seven column head
across its front page and devotes
several double column heads and
two front page columns to a descrip
tion of thencamp and the particulars
concerning the claims in a July is- j
sue. That policy is going to be pur- ,
sued right along in order that all .
may know exactly what is transpir- ;
ing. To censor or to conceal is not
part of the policy of this paper un
less it is evident that the news is
fraudulent upon the face of it. No j
such evidence has been shown the
Industrial Worker up to this. Re-,
ports are to a certain extent con- j
dieting but none are conflicting as
to the facts of the strike being made j
and the fact that grub is scarce and j
that much suffering will follow if
grub is not to hand soon. It is a
self evident proposition that there
are more men going into the camp ;
than there will be work for during ,
the winter. They are reaching there j
now at the rate of fifty a day, there !
are between two and three thous-'
and there now. The number of
stampeders is increasing rather than
decreasing. It is not good sense
therefore unless well equipped with
the wherewithal to stampede there
in search of work or to stampede
there if work must be found to
maintain an existence there—that is
unless those who do rush to Shu
shana have enough to last them over
the winter.
The man who goes there with
business intent can look after him
self. He will first of all have c-api
| tal and when that is exhausted if
j there is no business he will get out
any way or stay and join tho ranks
, of the workers. These are the known
facts of the case and they are worth
| considering by everyone afflicted with
the gold fever. It is just as well to
remember that ninety-nine per cent
of those who suffer from an attack
of gold fever usually suffer still
; more severely from heart-burn;ng
disappointment and vanished hopes.
But it is always with us and will bi
till the end of the chapter just the
! same.

I _
! It is interesting to watch cap!tal
ist editorial comment just now on
the new move made by the Eastern
. railroad managers in the matter of
| submitting questions to arbitration.
! The managers have sprung a surprise
. upon the employes in asking that
; their (the managers') “grievances”
be also considered,—grievances that
amount to a demand to reduce
wages. The wrangling that the tak
ing up of such a demand would
cause at a conference expressly call
ed to consider the question of an
advance can easily be imagined. The
trainmen’s and conductors’ represen
tatives have already expressed their
disapproval of the move, and a dead
lock may result. Seqing that the
hitch in proceedings has come from
the exploiters’ side in this case, it
will be interesting, we say, and
prove instructive for the workers to
watch capitalist editorial comment
on the point. There can be no doubt
as to how the papers would fume if
the railroad workers had thus held
up proceedings.—The People.
