GOVERNMENT CHARGED
WITH WAGE CUTTING
Charges that war department
.fficials have cut Wages at West
Point Military Academy in vio
lation of Presi lent Hoover’s ap
eal against wage-cutting, were
laid before Secretary of Labor
hoak by Representative F. H
La Guardia Republican, of
New York.
Doo.k, being “labor’s repre
sentative” in the government,
La Guardia appealed to him to
take up the matter with Presi
dent Hoover. He' wrote:
“I am certain that the whole
country is back cf President
Hoover in his effort to prevent
a deflation of wages and lower
ing the American standard of
living. Only greedy and selfish
employers without vision will in
this period attempt to decrease
wages.
“It is my understanding that
your department has made a
survey of the standard of wages
and is keeping informed on un
justifiable wage reductions.
“I, therefore, desire to submit
a most flagrant disregard o
prevailing wages, winch I be
’ieve you should lav before the
^resident, because, unfortunate
ly. one of the government’s own
departments is setting a bad
example. I refer to the condi
tions existing on government
construction under jurisdiction
of the quartermaster depart
xnent at West Point.

PREPARE FOP A
HARD WINTER
Word from the towns of An
<Toon and Hoor.nh is to the ef
fect that the native people are
planting a large number of gar
dens both in md cut of the
towns. Every aval’.'Die pic? -A
ground suitable for such a pur
pose is being planted. Thus the
people are preparing to pull
through the winter on very
'mall amount of cash. Although
ihe season is already somewhat
advanced there is yet time to
mature potatoes turnips, car
jots, radishes, lettuce, peas and
a few other usefv1 vegetables
if the season proves at all favor
able. The plan is surely a com
mendable one and we most
heartily approve it. It is a
foregone conclusion that money
will not be easy to get next
winter and the family that is
foresighted enough to make
preparation before hand by rais-»
mg their own vegetables, can
ning meats and fish, vegetables,'
berries and fruits will assuredly
lare much better than those who
depend on finding jobs when
there are no jobs to be had.|
There was a time when the
people lived on the country and
although we hove accustomedj
ourselves of late years to some!
few so-called modern conveni-!
cnees and have learned to livej
in the towns and work for,
wages, the native people still j
know how to find, their living if
need be. Others may tighten
their belts but a well filled lard-!
er is a mighty comforting pros-'
met when the snow blows.

Will Not Favor Alaskan Bidders
According to a letter from
Delegate Wickersham Complaint
has been made by some of the!
shipbuilding companies i n
Southeastern Alaska that con
struction of government vessels
j equently goes to Seattle, which
makes it difficult to maintain
the several marine ways in the
:• orth, which *are so badly need
ed in cases of emergency. The
particular instance cited was the
recent bids for furnishing two
24-foot launches for use at iso
lated light stations, and for
which the successful bidder in
Seattle was less than $200 under
the next lowest bid, from Alas
ka. G. R. Putman, Commission
er of Lighthouses, explains that
there is no legal authority for
ecceptance of other than the
lowest bids meeting the require
ments of the specifications,
which in the instance referred
to stipulate that delivery of the
| launches should be at Ketchi
, kan, Section 37C7 of the Revised
[statutes of the^U. S., has fre
quently been held by account
j ing officers as giving all indus
; tries equal rights to compete for
I government business, and at the
j sam$. time secure to the govern
ment the benfits which flow
from competition.
