STANDING FIRM
There Us great satisfaction in the
firm stand which the miners are
making fo" their demands in the
gold, mining industry in this Penin
sula. The operators find themselves
up against a solid phalanx of work
ers whose solidarity is unquestioned.
For too long Alaskan operators
have thot that because they owned
the earth, none others had a right
to say one word as to conditions
of employment. They would still
be paying the lowest possible scale
if it were not for the stand of or
ganized labor. Every year they
have made attempts to lower the
scalo and only firm opposition pre
vented their success.
Now w'itli the nation at war, and
themselves unable to justify opera
tion of a non-essential under con
ditions to peonize exploitation, a!
tho they have tried again and again
to identify patriotism with their
own sordid and. cor.temptable in
terests, they .find a still more pat
riotic body facing them in the
workers wh" not alone battle
of democracy but perform all
the labor needed to sustain the
fighters at home and abroad. These
parasitic forces which have dicta
ted the terni3 of labor in these
camps for so many years and who
have not been eonspicious for per
sonal war service, find themselves
up against a condition of things
that is exasperating their dollar
damn* d. souls.
THE CHILD LABOR LAW
The effort to pi ss an amended.
Child Labor law so that it will this
time be successful in passing the
scrutiny of the exacting justices cf
Iho Supreme Court, is without doubt
just as much a matter of politics
as a design to improve conditions
for society. But never in the con
sideration of any law has the econo
mic factor shown itso’f r.o e raplet !y
the domini.-V factor in 1 .'/slative
and in judicial azoic;, as in the case
of this law.
It was in the South where such a
reform as a Child Labor law is
regarded as the fol do rel of some
long haired reform, rs that the law
first was tested and found wanting
in the courts. It was tried in the
very shadows of the cotton mills
where little lives were woven into
tho warp and woof of the textiles
that were produced, and it reached
the Supreme Court to meet reaction
from those justices whoso particular
coclal affiliations unconsciously
lent sympathy to the attitude of
employers of Child Labor in the
matter.
It is worth while reading the
majority and dissenting opinion.
Both consider the law from the sam r
point of view; the same technical
objections and the scope of the
rights of Congress to legislate on
Interstat' traffic And each side
reaches a conclusion absolutely an
tagonistic altho based upon the
same reasons.
It is only by not losing sight ot
the political affiliations of the teach
ers of the Middle Ages that one
<-/in attempt lo understand the
theological metaphysics which they
developed along so widely different
lines, and similarly today it is only
by carefully considering the social
and economic affiliations of the
judges can wo understand how they
reach from the same promises sucli
completely different conclusions
Some of the justices of tho Supreme
Court hail from tho south. Some
hail from states where child laboi
is considered the sine qua non of
certain Industrie*. Some come from
the west where the civic notion pre
vails that child labor Is not alone
evil but a contemptible evil; some
corao from New England states
where Child labor laws are on the
statute books and where the federal
law had tho advantage of removing
the advantage enjoyed commercially
by the mills in those states where
there was no such condition of legis
lation.
The decision is eminently free
from legal technicality; it is not
j free from metaphysical discussion
upon stale rights and the limitations
imposed In regard thereto as far
as the federal government is con
cerned by the constitution. The dis
senting opinion is of the same char
acter and the law loses by one of
those famous four to five decisions
which have been conveniently pro
vided in almost all labor decisions.
A PEACE OFFENSIVE
A New York paper commenting
upon a German peace offensive, said
that almost any sort of a German
peace drive was sun a* \ this time
to bo offensive.
It is extremely hard for Germany
with 'its loot of the cast in its
pockets and the captured territory
of Lithuania, Courland and Poland
jutting out of its basket to justify
tho remark in the Reichstag that
it sought only such territory as
history had drawn for its imperial
confines. There was a time when
such a statement might have received
attention but certainly not since
Brest Litovsk; certainly not since
it lias dismembered Russia and out
of that dismemberment fed itself
to satiation.
It is impossible to regard with
confidence these allegations when
Germany’s record in Finland is con
sidered and the complete rape of the
independence of that nation is con
sidered and until more compelling
proofs of a questionable and dis
trusted sincerity are forthcoming,
the world is not likely to regard
any German peace proposals than
mere “Words, words, words,” which
so elicited tho contempt of tho
Prince of Denmark in theplay. This
is a period in the world’s history
when deeds not words will he tile
prelude to sincere peace offering.
POOH NICHOLAS
The former Tzar seems to have
as many lives as a eat. At any
rate the European correspondents
when time hangs heavy on their
hands have discovered that they
can always dish up a sensation by
reporting his death. When some
person with a bitter feeling toward
the Bolshevik! wants to relieve him
self of his venom ho reports the
Tzar killed, under most painful
circumstances.
Nothing could show how com
pletely dead politically is Nicholas
as that. When a man becomes
the plaything for imaginative re
porters he has about reached the
ultimate of non-essentials.
U N \V ARK A NTEU PESSIMISM
One finds that Nomeites have
glv. n themselves over to the unwar
ranted pessimism a3 to the future
of this camp. In point of fact
that feeling is not at all justified.
On the contrary recent happenings
have Indicated that this section of
,the country is placing itself upon a
! s dider footing then ever before,
' Placer mining is transitory every
one knows and if Nome depends
upon that Us c. reor would rightly be
regarded as a closing chapter. But
Nome is now developing a fishing
industry that is as limitless in pos
sibilities as the ocean itself; it
will be the center of a trade which
will begin as soon as the war cnd3
I in Siberia. Further government
| is manifesting an interest in tin
; t'.ir.t never before had been called
I to the same extent. This year one
[ outfit will open up in the mining
! of this et-scr.tial commodity on Cas
i siterite creek and union crews and
[ union conditions wall prevail. In
j fact compared with other years
| Nome this season has advanced
i several s'eps looking towards the
i permanency of its existence and
upon a basis no temporary ill-wind
can possibly affoct.
Pessimism is wholly unwarranted.
