TOTAL DISREGARD FOR PASSENGERS’ COMFORT, i
Some of the methods employed in landing passengers from
the steamers lying in the channel to the shore can he charac
terized in no milder terms than as being a disgrace to the par
ties responsible for the conditions maintaining and is like
wise a serious reflection on the town and a condition that can
no longer he tolerated. Last night, the private-owned and
operated launch Wilhelmina went to the Alameda, took off a
load of passengers, among them several women. The launch
landed the male passengers at the outer dock, hut the female
passengers, not being able to climb the long ladder, were
dumped off on the muddy point at the entrance to Ship creek
and had to wade through the mud and tilth to reach the shore
proper. Two of the women lost their shoes in the struggle to
get to dry land. Very soon after the government launch Mat
anuska came ashore with passengers and had no difficulty
whatever in reaching the railway dock, where the passengers
were landed without trouble. Now, as a matter of fact, the j
A\ illielmina’s boat could easily have made the entrance to Ship
creek and landed the female passengers in a place of safety,
but in their haste to return to the steamer for another load |
of passengers, the crew unceremoniously dumped off the
women, with a total disregard for their safety or comfort.
The Alaska Steamship company is likewise to blame for a fail
ure to see that the passengers reach the shore in safety and
comfort. The duty of this steamship company to patrons is
not ended by merely bringing them to the point of anchorage
in the channel. It should see that the passengers are landed
on shore with every degree of comfort.
The government launch Matanuska, employed in the'
lighterage service, made the first trip ashore with mail mat
ter, it being very urgent that this mail reach the local mer
chants as soon as possible after the steamer’s arrival, so that
replies could be sent on the return mail. Winter orders for
stocks were involved in this matter, hence the Matanuska was
.justified in rushing the mail ashore as quickly as possible.
But the master of the Matanuska informed the steamship of
ficers that the launch would return immediately, so that the
passengers would have only a brief time to wait until its re
turn, when they could have been taken ashore in comfort and
landed at the Commission dock.
THE RECORD OF CHARLES A. SULZER.
!
Charles A. Xulzer, the democratic nominee for delegate to
congress- irom Alaska, has been touted as the “friend of the
laboring man.” Indeed, a member of the Western Federa
tion ot Miners, whose expenses are undoubtedly paid by the
wealthy mining magnate who seeks to occupy Delegate \Yiek
ersham’s official shoes, is going about from camp to camp,
loudly proclaiming the virtues of Mr. Xulzer.
Since Mr. Xulzer elects to make his friendship for the
laboring man the chief issue in the campaign, those who are
opposing the candidate accept the challenge and will go down
the line with him on this theory. Fortunately those who oppose
Mr. Xulzer, his record in the Alaska legislative assembly is
available tor use in this campaign, and when it is generally
known, his assumptions now that he is the true and devoted
triend ot the laboring man will have little weight, because be
failed them when he had an opportunity to aid them. A man’s
protestations count for little. It is what a man does that is
the thing; not what he says he will do.
One of the bills introduced by Territorial Senator Xulzer
in the Alaska legislative assembly was called the “Working
men’s Compensation Act.” This bill, it is openly alleged, was
drawn in the office of Political Boss Xhackleford for the ben
efit ot the Gastineau Mining company. The law as it now ex
ists on the statutes of the territory is materially different
from the original bill, in that the compensation finally fixed by
the assembly is 20 per cent higher than that recommended for
passage by the author of the bill.
The Juneau Free Lance, discussing this specific measure, j
has this to say, which reveals the extreme love of Mr. Xulzer
for the laboring man:
Taking Mr. Xulzer’s appraisement as the maximum value
which it is—for Xulzer would not pay a man less than he is
worth,—we find the following enlightening figures:
An ordinary finger is worth $150.00,—that is if you take
the whole finger. If you take less you pay in proportion to
what you get away with,—measured longitudinally. The first
joint might be worth $25.00. This might lie nearly half enough
to pay the doctor’s bill.
An ordinary toe is worth $100.00. This is certainly liberal
in the extreme. Of what use is a toe anyway?
A hand is worth $1,200.00 and a foot is of the same value.
This, however, was discovered to be such an overestimation
that it was provided that the arm up to the elbow and the leg
up to the knee should be thrown in extra. But remember that
if one takes the hand clear up to the shoulder joint or the foot
clear up to the hip joint, he will have to pay $1,500.00 and not
n cent less. That will in ordinary cases be enough to pay;
your doctor bills, and, if you are in luck, it may even leave you
several dollars to the good.
An ear may be had for $200.00 and a ntfse for $400.00. This
demonstrates that the ever-watchful Xulzer has been on the!
lookout not only for our usefulness but for our beauty as well. j
Of course, no one will be expected to pay full price unless he ■

gets tlie full facial appendage. Those magnificent sums take
everything which can he construed to constitute a part of a
nose or ear. Half a nose brings only $200 and half an ear only
$100.00,—sums (piite extravagant in view of the fact that in
cold weather a nose, no less than an ear, is a nuisance anyway,
and often not even ornamental.
With these liberal allowances for the more protruding
members of the body it could not be expected that any com
pensation be allowed for broken jaws, amputated hips, dislo
cated joints or internal injuries, nor for any pain suffered-,
however excruciating. These are all thrown in free gratis, ex
cept, of course, while you are laid up you may be paid half
wages for a period not to exceed six months. If you are a ten- i
dollar-a-day man this will he almost enough to pay for hospital
and doctor, which the employer is not responsible for under
the compensation act.
When the Hon. Charles Sulzer did not propose any higher;
compensation for a laborer’s limbs, we know that they are not
worth any more, for we know that he is a just and fair man
and friend always looking out for our interests. That some
senatorial agitators from the interior and Nome insisted on j
raising the compensation 20 per cent over the Sulzer valuation
was not Nulzer’s fault, for he objected strenuously to the un- i
warranted and unjust increase until Mr. Shackleford an-!
nounced that he was satisfied with the amendment, as he had |
really expected the valuation to be trebled before the bill be- j
*ame a law. ‘
