ANCHORACE LABOR UNION
ON 8 HOOR OOESTION
“THE FOLLOWING IS REPRINTED
FROM THE ALASKA LABOR
UNION BULLETIN."
(Issue of March 1st, 1918.)
This issuo of The Bulletin
should show the workers the ne
cessity of an organized effort and
an honest desire on their part to
declare for economic justice and
political freedom.
There was a time when the mas
ter class could dictate the policy
of their servants and set aside
any desire or need of the produc
ers if they found it necessary for
their protection; hut We the pro
ducers of the wealth of the Ameri
can nation, have it in our power
to declare for principles that will
ticrue to cur benefits as producers.
There is a very good illustration
brought to our fellow citizens in
desiring the suspension of the eight
hour law for the several industries
in Alaska. The owners of the in
dustriis declare that it is a na
tional necessity, but the workers
are very skeptical about accepting
such an excuse, because to the
best of our knowledge and belief
all of the necessary articles for the
purpose of successfully conducting
the conflict against our enemy, and
for the establishment of Democracy
in the world arena, can be produced
in a far greater reduction of time,
instead of an increase, as requested
by the owners of the natural re
sources.
The Alaska Labor Union has
taken a firm and deliberate stand in
opposition to the suspension of
the eight hour law in the Territory
of Alaska, and the members have
placed the organisation on record
as a progressive, militant, class
conscious, labor union, declaring
for the enforcement of the law as
advised by the voters of the Ter
ritory. Our right of franchise must
be respected and the will of the
majority must be obeyed when the
profit issue is all ther.' is at stake.
The time is at hand when the
workers need an organization to
combat the organized efforts of the
opposing interests, and we believe, !
in the Alaska Labor Union there is
tli • nucleus for an organization that
can cover the Territory and suc
cessfully dictate all the policies of
Government in so far as is neces
sary for the prot ction of the home
and material welfare of the pro
ducer.
To make a successful effort and
to show our strength we must
recognize the need of a larger and
more complete organization in this
Division, in the interests of the
worker.. Therefore we propose to
branch out in the near future and
H'over the adjacent cities and towns
tttf the purpose of forming one big
union, with ond ilssuo—working
vlass benefits. Our standard in
Anchorage has been assailed, our
rights have been denied, by the min
ing, lumber and shipping interests;
but our determination to win lias
not been changed, and through
our Union, with our increased
strength and membership, we will
declare for economic justice and
■political freedom. It will require
the help of every worker who is
interested in the welfare of the fu
ture posterity, and we must have
a home or hall in which to do our
work and hold our meetings.
What can we do without head
quarters and officers to attend to
our affairs, or how can we in
crease our membership without an
organizer or delegate supported by
the members? Who would be re
quired to work for a bigger, stronger
and more successful working organ
ization?
Our efforts will be worthless
without the help of the interested
workers. Our welfare will be un
safe unless your help is forthcom
ing, and all legislation will be de
clared unconstitutional or suspend
ed at he will of the capitaist class,
unless you come to the rescue and
declare for working-class legisla
tion and pay your money to sup
port your working-class organiza
t on.
\ our safet.- dep> nds on your
'»4»n work, and if it is gum yon
v ill win; bu: oil it at.oii and organi
zaDon must hi our strong weapon
Of defense.
Stick to your Union!
UNION OFFICERS CHARGED
WITH DISRESPECT TO ARMY
(Issue of March 1st, 1018.)
Ed Christengen, preseiderit, and
Jack Sutherland, secretary of the
Alaska Labor Uuion, were served
with warrants last Wednesday,
sworn to by Lieut. Longre in charge
of the 14th Infantry, stationed at
Anchorage, charging discrimination
and disrespect to the uniform of the
U. S. iegu'.ar army. The charge is a
major misdemeanor and punishable
by a miximum fine of $500.
Both Christensen and Sutherland
entered pleas of not guilty and
furnished bail to the amount of $500
each. The date of the trial has not!
bei-n s"t as yet.but will be held he- !
fore the U. S. Commissioner in j
Anchorage. W. L. Balch, the con- j
tractor, and A. G. Dickinson of!
Dick’s Kitchen, furnished the bonds.
Brothers Christensen and Suther
land both emphatically deny any
discrimination or disrespect; have
both registered according to the)
draft law, without any claim for)
exemption, and fully expect to bej
soon wearing the uniform of their i
country in defense of democracy. |
Owing to the fact that the BUL-i
LETIN was in the hands of the
printer it was impossible to give
full details in this issue.
WE’RE THERE
On looking over the roster of
the Alaska Labor Union it can
be seen that a big percentage- of
the Anchorage draft list are mem
bers of the Alaska Labor Union;
end we firmly believe that when
it comes to the actual test our
A. L. U broth rs will average up
at good as any in the world. And
with reason; for they are in good
practice and have been fighting all!
their lives for their rights and true
demorcacy.
THIS IS A “BIRD" OK A STORY

Sparrow and three Quails in the

NO LACK OF ADVICE
“There are a great many people
in this world who don’t know whats

of neighbors who would gladly tell
them what is good for them if they
would only listen.”
