A POLET
WORKING OUT PLAN
TO STABILIZE WAGES
r
WASHINGTON,—Stability of
-wages during the war is a matter
that is now receiving the attention
of the government. For some time
plans have been under discussion be
tween representative manufacturers
and of organized labor, the war and
navy departments taking part in the
discussions. The idea is to provide
for a nation-wide system of com
munity or industry agreements, in
which both employes and employers
will participate and which will be en
forced for the agreement period thru
government priority power of labor
employment pressure.
This plan has received tentative
approval of representatives of man
ufacturers and labor interests and
delegation from the national indus
trial conference board.
It is now known that a number
of government agencies dealing with
labor problems—the war and navy
departments, shipping board, railroad
administration, labor department,
labor adjustment board, war labor
policies board and others—probably
will be co-ordinated under the new
committee of representatives from
each. One of the principal reasons
for this action is to facilitate the en
forcement of the government’s wage
stabilizing policy.
For their part manufacturers will
be called on to pay no more and no
less that the standard scale, and
workmen will be asked to abide by
the scale without threats of strike
or other labor disturbances. If man
ufacturers refuse to pay standard
wages or pay more and thereby un
settle the community conditions, they
might find their supplies of fuel and
materials cut off thru priority orders,
agreement, members Would be barred
from seeking work thru employment
agencies, all of which now are gov
ernment controlled.
The proposed plan is an amplifica
tion of that adopted recently by the
war and navy departments in set
tling threatened strikes of machin
ists in New York, Buffalo and Ro
chester.
MAYOR DESIRES ENFORCE
THE CURFEW ORDINANCE
SEATTLE,—Because of the ever
growing number of reports to the
police as to moral conditions in the
city among the young people, which,
if given publicity, it is declared
would shock the city, Mayor Hanson
has issued instructions to the police
for strict enforcement of the curfew
law and to take other measures to
curb the wave of juvenile crime
which appears to have struck Seattle.
Under the provisions of forgotten
ordinances, girls under 21 years of
age will not permitted in dance halls
unless accompanied by parents or
guardian.
Pool rooms and billiard halls are
ordered cleared of boys under the
age of 21, unaccompanied by parents]
or guardian.
Girls or boys under the age of 21
will not be permitted to be abroad
after curfew hours, from 9 p. m. to
5 a. m., between October 1 and April
1, and at 10 p. m. and 5 a. m., be
tween April 1 and October 1.
No girl under 18 years of age may
be taken automobile or motorcycle
riding during curfew hours unless
accompanied by parents or guardian,
and no boys or girls under the age
of 18 years may enter any hotel, lodg
ing or rooming house or be employed
therein, unless accompanied by par
ents or guardian.
Because of numerous complaints
of parents that their daughters have
disappeared for days at a stretch, the
mayor has also forwarded to the com
mandants of the various military and
naval posts in the vicinity of Seattle
extracts of the state law and asked
that they be publicly read to the men
at the various posts.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
.The Industrial Worker on Saturday November 9 will be 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 .camp
will be sufficiently 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
here announced should be ntade. 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.
Each 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 allairs in this camp.
It is believed that the Industrial Worker is needed in Nome ana
it is as well believed that for that reason the support that has hereto
fore been extended to it will not be 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 thq, 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
*1* well as others in this community. Now Is the time to subscribe.
*1* Papers cannot exist on Jiot air nor by youn reading the paper over the
4* other fellows shoulder. The paper is mA published for profit, but
4* for a definite purpose in this far northern section.

NEWS NOTES
A notice was posted to the effect
that no freight would be accepted for
the Victoria after noon today. Ex
press would be accepted up to five
this afternoon.
Jos V. Sheldon and J. H. M’Cloy
are going out on the Victoria. Grant
Jackson will manage the hank's af
fairs during the winter.
After tomorrow the quarantined
ones will be released from durance
vile. In the meantime they have had
an opportunity to tell passers by from
the steps what the extent of their
troubles was, due to their being
quarantined.
In order to prevent any sickness
going on cbard the Victoria in the
person of passengers Dr Neuman will
examine each one. Now it is to be
hoped that several hundred peo
ple will not be left standing in the
arctic air while the doctors examine
them, and that at least proper pro
vision will be made for the comfort
of those who have to “stand and
wait.” The departure of the last
boat invariably directs attention to
the absolute lack of waiting room
accomodation which the Lighterage
Co, with its delightful “public be
damned” policy, hallowed by the pre
cedent of many years, provides. And
it is safe to say that more people are
rendered ill every fall by getting
chilled waiting to go aboard the
steamers, than from any other cause.
The hour of departure of the first
“lighter” is usually set considerably
ahead of the actual time of departure
and the passengers do their best to
keep warm by denouncing the com
pany. They usually succeed fairly
well, as might be anticipated. In
view of this, with the present cold
weather prevailing the Medical au
thorities are urged to see that proper
acomodations will be provided for at
least the women and children while
they are standing waiting for them
tp be passed with a clean bill of health
S. S. VICTORIA
will sail from Seattle for Nom on her last trip 10 a. m. Oct. 10th.
