$1000.00 REWARD
Will bo paid for the conviction of the circulators of false state
ments relative selling out, cl03ing out or consolidating.
I wish to emphatically and clearly state that I do not
wish to close out, sell out or consolidate, I have every confi
dence in the future of our section and will stay, defend and
work toward tho upbuilding of this entiro section.
I want to retain the reputation of being a leader in
optimism and am always ready to do the utmost to keep Nome
up to date, and to assist in the development of its resources,
which, through no fault of our own, arr- now more or less han
dicapped.
We have in Nome many kinds of pro’s and con’s, but the
most active and virulent kind is the Pro-Nomeites who arc always
ready to say and do almost anything to injure Nome’s best in
terests. My advice to the Pro-Nomeites is the same as that giv
en by President Wilson to the pro-G^rmnns ‘‘If you don’t like the
place that you make a living in, why don’t you move."
I promise the people of Nome to carry as complete a
stock of the finest grad s of grocers as it is pos-ible to ob
tain, and will conduct my business in such economical manner
as to enable me in these strenuous times to sell groceries as
cheaply as possible.

SCOTS TRADES UNIONS
WANT SIX HOUR DAY
AYR, Scottland—The Twenty-firat
annual congress of the Scottish
Trade Unions was held at Ayr,
Councolor Hugh Lyon, Glasgow
chairman of the Parliamentary Com
mittee, presiding over an attendance
of 206 delegates representing 500,
000 Trade Unionists. The Out
standing feature of the four day’s
discussions was the resolutions re
garding peace and war. Upon this
subject the keenest debates took
place, and at times they reached
a very high level. From the first
day of the congress, considerable
excitement prevailed, when it be
came known that the National Sail
ors and Firemen’s 'Union had sent
20 delegates, among whom were
some of their more prominent offi
cials.
The main debate took plac^ on
the Glasgow Trades Council reso
. lution and an amendment by the
sailors and firemen asking for the
omission of the words “and economic
warfare”. Those supporting the
resolution urged that the time had
| arrived when Great Britain and her
| Allies, particularly France and Italy,
should make a clear and plain
statement of war aims on the lines
• laid down by President Wilson. This
. was the more urgent in view of the
t publication of secret treaties that
ran counter to all democratic ideals
and were abhorrent to the Laboi
■ movement, besides being in con
tradiction to the declarations ol
British statesmen at the outbreak ol
war. It was held, that for the at
tainment of an early peace it was
essential that every political means
should he used to convince the
people of the Central Powrs of the
purity of the Allies’ aims, other
wise fear of invasion of national
integrity and a policy of economic
warfare aft^-r the declaration of
peace would stiffen their attitude
in support of their autocratic rulers
and serve but to prolong the war untli
both sides were exhausted.
Robert Smillie, president of the
British Federation of Miners, took
part in the debate in support of the
resolution and. in the course of a
powerful speech took the opportun
ity, speaking as president of the
International Miners Federation, ot
saying that the fraternal delegate,
Mr Frey, was mistaken in his ve
sinn of the attitude of the German
trade unions to war. The interna
tional labor movement, he declard
was unanimously in favor of a down
tools policy against the outbreak r.f
war. It was true to say that the
Germans refused to vote on resolu
tions in favor of such a policy, but
that was because German law would
have immediately the unions to be
political organizations and it would
have suppressed them. Their posi
tion was perfectly well understood
in the international movement, but
after all the working class of any
one country could not stop war, and
the workers of their own and other
countries did not or were not in the
position to give the necessary sup
port.
Perhaps the most important dis
cussion, however, after the peace
resolutions, was that on the shorter
working day. For many years labor
has passed such resolutions appar
ently as pious aspirations, but it is
now becoming evident that it is
getting down to business. No fewer
than six resolutions were on the
agenda, but the discussion resolved
itself into a contest between those
advocating an eight hour and those
declaring for a six hour day. It
was argued that the eight hour day
did. not give the workingman an
adequate amount of leisure and ade
quate lesiure was an indispensable
condition of progressive civilization.
The advocates of the six hour day
had powerful assistanco from the
recent speeches ofLcrd Lcverhulme,
in which he claimed that six hours
per day would not only provide
the worker with more lc'sure, but
would also form the ideal working
day from the standpoint of produc
tion. The six hour day was carried
by a majority. The parliamentary
committee was empowered to in
augurate a campaign in fr.vor of
the shorter working day and to
co-ordinate the efforts of organized
labor in this direction, with a view
to early action.
Tho usual resolution calling for
the national and collective ownership
of the means and instruments of pro
duction v?as carried unanimously
without debate, but it is important
to notice that in all demands on tho
part of labor for state ownership,
it is also insisted “that all national
ization aspiration-? of the working
class, must provide for their effec
tive control ty the industrial c-gant
zation concerned in partnership with
the state.’,’
The major porton of the remain
ing resolutions dealt v/ith amend
ments to various acts of Parliament
affecting industrial affairs, such as
the factory acts, the trades beards
acts for the prevention of sweating,
tho insurance acts, ar.d the compen
sation acts.
With regard to method of organi
ze. ion, the committee was instructed
to arrange conferences between the
several unions in any industry, with
a view to unifying the- forces, so that
j there would be only one union in
each industry. Finally, a resolution
embodying the fundamentals of a
League of Nations with adequate la
bor representation for the settle
ment of international disputes was
carried unanimously.
