.The Industrial Worker on Saturday November » will l>e issued
as a weekly paper, the Nome Mine Workers Union deciding that ow
ing to the decrease in the winter population, the needs of .the .ramp
will be suflicicntly met by this frequency of issue.
Frankly, owing to this reason, the publishers were faced by
the alternative of publishing weekly or suspending publication for the
present. Facing this alternative it was natural .that .the .decision
hero announced should be made. The weekly will be published Sat
urdays and the subscription price will be one dollar a month, or five
dollars for six months paid in advance.
Euch weekly issue will contain a synopsis of the news from day
to day by telegraph and of course the week's happenings in local and
mining affairs in this camp.
It is believed that the Industrial Worker is needed in Nome anu
it. is as well believed that for that reason the support that has hereto
fore been extended to it will not Ik1 found wanting.
A capable publishing board will have charge of the work of
getting out the paper and those going outside have an opportunity of
securing a reliable compendium of the week's news by the payment of
the subscription as above stated which considering the increased costs
attendant upon publishing a paper are reasonable enough.
. The field covered by the Industrial Worker .will .be .covered
thoroughly and satisfactorily and every effort will be made to reach
the needs of the people of this section as a fair exponent of the opin
ions and the requirements of the workers, miners and prospectors, as 4*
