The demands made by employees
of the Alaska Road Commission
arc. sio mod rate that it vv.ll lie hard
to understand in that event why
ility have not received attent.on
ard acquiescence from the higher
officers of the Commission, although
at this writing there is every r ason
to believe tho adequacy of the argu-j
monts in favor of the five dollar a
day scale will be fittingly recog
nized.
Steadily for the last few years
the costs of living here as else
where but to a more intensified
extent here than elsewhere have
gone up. Steadily tho amount of
work availablo for men who re
mained in the winter has been dimin
ishing during each year.
Consequently the. man who stayed
here during the summer and pur
ported to stay during the winter
had of necessity to make enough
during the summer to live during
the winter.
Accordingly he was confronted
■with conditions that were increas
ingly difficult: ho had no work to
obtain and prices were higher but
he. had to exist upon what he made
during the summer.
Now a bodv like tho District
Board of the Alaska Road Com
mission had to have men on hand
in the spring to clear culverts and
perform necessary protective work
for roads and bridges when the
break-up occurred. Annually with
the very efficient force cf men which
tli efficient district Supertindent j
JN1 r. Jonor had collected thousands]
of dollars worth of work and prop-1
orty were saved to tli Commission
and the government, as well as
the Teritory and the district. It
is this efficient force of men who
are now asking not for any rate
above normal, blit that for their
work day they receive what has
been the going rate of wages in
mine and camp for common labor
thruout the summer; wages which
have been paid by city and private
employer, and by every one who
hireo labor in the district except
tho commission. (
There io no such condition pre
valent in the outside states as the
United States government in any
of its departments paying a lower
rate per work day, than the going
rate in that locality for the labor
that is employed and it is quite
immaterial whether or ret the go
ing rate on other than government
work as has Ed upon the eight hour
day. The eight hour day is the
only day that the government as
an employer knows and it pays for
the day as other employers pay
for the day although the latter may
insist uprn a longer work day—
rare enough these days anywhere
except in this territory and then
only in some places.
The relations between the Koad
Commission and employees have
heon all the time friendly and sat
isfactory. The Road Commission,
one of the most maligned bodies
thruout the territory as well as in
various districts, has done consid
erable and very valuable work. It
would be unfortunate if there should
occur an interruption in this condi
tion duo to the failure, to realize
that tho five dollar scale no more
than meets, :tnd hardly meets at
that, the requirements for subsis
tence due to changing industrial
conditions and the increased costs
of the necessities ol’ life.
IN SOUTH AFRICA
Since tho ontry of tho United
States Into tho Groat War, it Is some
what of a paradox to declare .that
the nation has so concentrated its
attention upon the west front, that
it lost the larger viewpoint which
naliz <1 that every nook and cranny
of mother earth was to a certain
extent and more or less intensively,
subject to the Influenced which this
great war is exerting.
Henci the public and the press,
wltht he latter the more responsible
for this condition, have ignored
totally the fact that important things
wire happening outside the immed
iate arena where great battles were
being fought.
It is not too much to say that
the peoples of this world* are all
in a state of intense ferment over
this war. In hardly a single one
but aspirations that were denied
expression have been developing in
to almost uncontrollable impulses
and emotions, and only those who
came in direct contact with this
condition saw and reported what
they saw not without misgiving, as
a warning to a surprised world.
In almost all the nations, free
or subject there have been such
aspirations subjected, to control or
hWiden deep In the recesses of the
national bosom, waiting the day
when fortune would permit a more
Vigorous development and hoping
agatnst hope that they would be
able to assert themselves. Germany
with an acute understanding of
national psychology that cannot be'
denied, her, hut without any gener
osity in the material rationality of
such understanding, has from time
to time set herself with considerable
pains, to benefit her struggle by
stimulating such national hopes, as
w have referred to, for her own
benefit and the confounding of the
enemies of the Teutonic imperialists.
South Africa is a stinking exam
ple of this. In the early days of
the war German .propaganda in
South Africa was general. This is
admitted and that by men who gave
their lives to carry out these dan
gerous plans. South Africa had
always a larger proportion of Ger
man natives or inhabitants of Ger
man descent, and their loyalty to
the Imperial Flag was something
to wonder at.
The memorable rebellion of Maritz
and De Wet collapsed before the
prudence of the rest of the popula
tion and when the South African
forces under Smuts and Botha con
quered German Namaqualand, both
Briton and Boor seemed to have
reached a perfect understanding.
But tho germs of national in
dependence are naturally latent in
the soul of the Boer and the propa
ganda which has been carried on
has been ceaseless and, more im
portant yet, espoused by earnest and
sincere men. General Hertzog es
tablished a constitutional party
whose ultimate ideal is the estab
lishment of a United States of South
Africa, completely Independent of
British suzeranity or British control.
Sinister reports as to drafting men
for service in France fired the Boer
mind just before election, and it
required all the earnest campaign
ing of Botha to off-set this, and he
hardly succeeded at that.
While apparently the National
! Party is the parliamentary successor
| of the Africander Bond, it goes
much more deeply into the question,
and there does not seem to be
any doubt that a large proportion
of its supporters heartily hope and
confidently believe that once again
not only the Transvaal and the
Free State, but the Cape Colony
and Natal will be independent Bo.r
republics.
Needless to say all this is an
iridescent dream and nothing more.
The whites dare not struggle again
in Africa without collapsing before
the more numerous and very Intelli
gent black races. Tho black races
are loyal with an intense loyalty
to the British as against the Boer
rule, and their insistanco upon a
right for a say in. the final issue
of things places them before the
Bo r, whether loyal to the present
government or not, as a menace
which ho can overlook at his peril.
Thruout all these South African
troubles the both sides, Briton and
Boer, have handled the question
of the black race with some delicacy
and diffidence. But it is quite with
in the bounds of possibility that in
the present crisis,should the Boer
be foolish enough to make nation
alist assertions would embarrass the
government, the government would
not hestitate to turn to the here
tofore submerged Basutoo, and
Zulus and Bechuanas and the rest
to maintain order. The mind re
volts at such a condition but
if human nature in Africa
abandons it3olf to the theory that
it will share its government with
no other power the native races
may insist in turn that they too
are entitled to an independence.
Without doubt it is this very
danger that alarms Briton and Boer
at this time: it is the ever present
danger in Africa, and thruout the
entire Boer war, it is now admitted
by both sides that the secret dread
thruout was the possible action ot
the native races, strong, intelligent
and resentful of years of subordina
tion to the hated Boer.
