Interior Department
War Work
(By mail, March 2, 19X8.)
i' As soon as the United States de
clarer war on Germany, Mrs. Frank
lin K. Lane, wife of the Secretary ol
the Interior, called a meeting of
the wives of the bureau chiefs to
arrange for the organization of the
Interior Department for war work.
The organization thus formed has
grown rapidly. It is supported by
those connected with the Interior De
partment in Washington and the
field service of the department.
Last autumn the Territory ot
Alaska gave $7,000 as its cofitrib
tion to the work. This enabled Mrs.
Lane and her committee to add
eight beds to the eight already sup
ported in the Washington ward of
the Neuilly Hospital in France.
Indians of the different reserva
tions wore asked to contribute bas
kets to a bag and basket sale plan
ned by the committee to rai3c ifooney
for surgical dressings. The contri
butions were so varied and generous
and the workmensbip and design
so beautiful that $3,150 was re
ceived from the sale.
One box a week is sent through
the Red Cross to Neuilly Hospital
containing necessary hospital sup
plies for the 16 bods.
Three or four gift bundles are in-1
eluded in each box. These contain I
a sweater, a pair of socks, a pair of j
'Wristlets, a helmet, a scarf, six
handkerchiefs, one wash cloth, soap,
a shaving stick, a toothbrush, and
tooth paste. When a soldier has
recovered and is ready to leave the
hospital, he receives one of these
gift bundles. j
Hospital books made up of |
pictures, good short stories, jokes, j
-etc., compiled by employees of the I
Pension Office, are also included in
the box.
It is the aim to furnish every man!
who entered the service from the1
Interior Department with woolen
comforts as soon as possible and to
try to keep in touch with him dur
ing the war—in other words, to
stand back of him.
A French girl, 16 years old, has
written to a prominent war worker
in Washington: "There is a river in
France so narrow that you can talk
across it, birds can fly across with
one sweep of their wings. There
aro great armies on either bank.
They are as far apart as the stars
in the sky—as right and wrong.
There is a great ocean—it is so
wide that the sea-gulls can not fly
across it without resting. Upon
either shore there are great nations.
They are so close, however, that
their hearts touch.’’

A Correction
The associate editor on the In
dustrial Worker staff, desires to
correct an error which appeared in
the editorial columns of last eve
ning’s Nome Daily Nugget. The
following is quoted from the Nugget
“The editor of the Nome In
dustrial Worker himself bears
witness that organzied labor
holds nothing against Maloney
on the score of alleged con
demnation of the eight-hour law
and can verify the statements
copied from that publication
shoeing that Mr. Maloney was
well’ known to him personally
and was never at any time op
posed to the interests of the
workers or attacked the eight
hour law so far as he is aware-,,
The editor of our evening con
temporary omitted the word “asso
ciate” preceding the word “editor”
in the aforesaid quotation.
The editor of the Worker is prac
tically a choechaco in this neck of
the woods. He says he never saw
Mr. Maloney let alone be personally
acquainted with him.
Therefore since the opportunity
arose, the associate editor desires to
emphatically reiterate said statement
quoted by the Nugget, (regardless
rs to who may like, or dislike it.)
Furthermore the editor of the
Worker is not guilty of writing the
article published in the Worker,
from which the editor of our eve
ning contemporary saw fit to select
the aforesaid quotation. The associ
ate editor pleads guilty cf compos
ing same.
For the benefit of those whom it
may concern, the associate editor in
the Worker office, worked on the
Diamond L. claim during the sum
mer of 1908, when Wm. Maloney
was the boss over the crew working
on the West end of said claim.
Young Charlie Webb was the boss
of the. crew working on the East
end of the same claim.
Thirty-three men were employed
in both shafts, sending the paydirt
to the surface of the aforesaid claim
during the summer of 1908. The
books of the Nome Mine Workers
Union will verify the statement; that
everyone of the thirty-three men
were members of the union and in
good standing when both camps
closed down in the. fall.
Enquiries have been made from
officers, as well as some of the old
time members of the union, as to
whether, or not, he (Malony) is
considered fair towards organized
labor.
We have not as yet heard one sin
gle union man say that he knew
from his own knowledge of any
thing Maloney had done when a
mine operator in this section of the
country, to consider his attitude as
unfair toward organized labor.
While upon the subject, and in
justice to Mr. Maloney, for further
information regarding the Diamond
L. claim, the associate editor refers
those it may concern to the follow
ing named persons, who are in
Nome at the present time. They
also worked on the aforsaid claim
during the summer of 1908. Bob

An Appeal to the Ranks
of Labor for Tom
Mooney
(Written for the Irish World)
O, God! is there no justice
In this bleak land today,
When a gang with cap and took can
swear
A noble life away?
Must Truth be crushed and broken
That Greed may richer grow?
Up, workers of the world and strikes,
Strike now the telling blow!
Will ye uphold the despots
Who trample in the mire
The workers who hath dared to dream
And voice the soul’s desire?
Must man be chained forever
To Greed’s ignoble knee??
O. workers of the world unite
Ilise up, and dare befroe!
The pampered class who rule ye.
Whose only creed is might,
Can masquerade as “Order,”
And swear that wrong is right;
But the workers, we can quell them
Even in this day of shame ^
And the voice ofg pod cries loud and
strong;;
Arise in Labor’s name!
Maura Quinn.
