The only twelve houred outfit in
the Kougarok is the Mathews dredge
on the river. Among those who
engaged in the long day’s operation
and who went to work there with
,the full knowledge that a strike
was on, and who knew that men
who were men wanted the eight
hour day, and who many of them
arrived on the first boat from the
outside for that purpose ar e the fol
lowing: Robert Belcher, Harold Bain
Bill Myer, Christ Olspn, Fred Vin
cent, "Jakie Berger’s brother,” one
engineer and winchman whose names
were not learned. A fine outfit.
It’s fine to have one’s patriotism
so well understood as the patriotism
of the Industrial Worker seems to
be in the columns of “a contempor
ary”. There are always*- doubting
Thomases, so when an appreciative
guy with a writing itch come3 along
we feel inclined to salaam our
thanks.
The occasion of this whichness is
over an editorial in “a contem
porary” which r fers to an editorial
in the Worker, wherein some re
marks scantly in sympathy with
the whine of the operators to the
effect that “their ground- was too
poor to pay wages and stand for
the hour day” was exposed for the
buncombe that it was.
The patriotic appreciator of our
patriotism also goes some on his own
account and suggests the employ
ment of natives in the mines. He
overlooked the fact that natives are
even now in come places where
employed kicking about the grub
and what will lead a man in the
way of a mulligan will also play
hell with the guts of a native.
There is too similar a physiological
construction of the natives’ innards
to doubt this.
Now the. Worker goes on record
as heartily approving the employ
ment of natives from economic and
from patriotic motives. But we say
pay them the wages they are entitled
to, and don’t forget that whether
it is a Whiteman or a native who
performs the work it is he and not
the operator who is producing
the wealth.
If it is the conception of things that
in this section of Alaska the white
man is to be obliterated and the
native employed, well and good, but
pay the native, feed the native in
standards consonant with real Amer
icanism. And why not? Are we
to have established here an operat
ing junker class and a laboring peon
class, just so that a few operators
may stalk the land the proud pro
prietors of not only mines but serfs.
We all know that those operators
who balk at paying the union scale
for the eight hour day, are not
likely to pay the natives even a living
wage. We know precisely what
they will do in the way of taking
advantage of the helplessness of the
native as the Whiteman. Clod forgive
them, have taken advantage of the
native everywhere.
We can all understand to the
junker minds of those who have
assembled themselves into a corterie
of industrial autocrats in this Penin
sula it would be an ideal state of
things to have just two classes here,
operators and native toilers. But
it would b ea woful state of things
for the natives. It would not lie
the less woful because these junkers
would parade, themselves as uplifters
of the Eskimo when despoiling them
of the product of their labor pow r
and masquerade in feature articles
hot and paid for in outside news
papers, as philanthropists of the
north who found work for the idle
hands of John Eskimo. As for the
whiteman if his hour—the hour of
the man who toils—is not yet at
hand it is very close by. Why waste
time here struggling with the
monopolists who control everything
and who dictate everything from
fuel to newspaper fudge?
Most assuredly his place is Out
side. Most assuredly he is foolish
to waste his good time striving to
better conditions when all he gets
in the way of thanks is liberty
to pack his blankets fnejm one job
to another and return his earnings
to the businessman. The
whiteman will come back to work
herecome back when the parasitic
junkers are relegated to the junk
pile of inutilities the toiler; white
man or native will come to his own.
But, and this is what we started
out to do but we forgot all about
it, we give our patriotic thanks to
the patriotic contributing editor off
“a contemporary” who so keenly ap
preciates our patriotism. Same to
you, Bo, whoever yc/u are.
