THE CANADIAN STRIKE LAW.
Iii <01110 respects, at least, the Canadian government is a
step in advance of the United States. In the matter of strike
legislation, for instance, the dominion government has long
since enacted a law that experience has proved effectually han
dle- strike situations, such as the great railway strike situation
that now confronts the United States.
In the year of 1907, the Canadian parliament enacted into
law what is called the Lemieux act, named for the author of the
bill. The industrial disputes and their settlements in the Unit
ed States had much to do with tlie passage of this law. Briefly
summarized, the provisions of the Lemieaux act provide that
when a dispute arises between employer and employed, a board
<>f investigation and conciliation is called into service. Ibis
hoard is a regularly constituted body. The employes, on pain
of criminal action, cannot quit work in a concerted body while
the investigation is in progres. The investigation completed,
the findings are widely published throughout the dominion, so
that the general public may be advised as to the merits of the
controversy. An effort is then made to conciliate the differ
ences between the employer and the employed. If all efforts
fail, the workmen may then call a strike. But the law has
proved satisfactory and workable because the public is fully
advised as to the merits of the controversy. If the men’s de
mands are .just and equitable, public sentiment will stand be
hind them and the employer be forced to yield. If the men’s
demands are unreasonable, a strike would be ineffectual, be
cause public sentiment would be opposed to it.
Alert publicists in the United States view with considera
ble favor the adoption of a law by the congress similar to that
effective in Canada, but going further than the Canadian law,
in that arbitration of disputes or differences between capital
and labor would be made compulsory.
And while on the subject of Canadian laws, the policing of
file remoter regions of Canada is a system that some students
of this matter think might well be adopted in Alaska, t anada
lias a fine body of men called the Northwest Mounted Police.
These men are especially fitted, physically and otherwise, tor
duty on the frontier. They are stationed on the outskirts of civ
ilization, charged with the duty of preserving law and order.
No foul murderer goes unpunished in the Dominion of Canada.
The ends of the earth are hunted for perpetrators of major
crimes. What is the record, say, of the third judicial division of
Alaska? Five men brutally murdered for their few dollars on
the Yaldez-Fairbanks trail, within the past three years, and not
even an arrest made. One murder committed in the Shnshan
na district and the guilty fiend remains unpunished. Two mur
ders committed in the Cook Inlet country and the guilty parties
enjoying immunity from punishment. A half dozen other
murders committed in various parts of the district remain un
punished.
THE TIMES DOES THINGS.
The Times is a newspaper that does things. It is ever alert
to the interests of Anchorage and the region contiguous. ThB
publication will be found in the lead in any matter of benefit to
this community and this section of Alaska, and the whole of
Alaska, for that matter, for The Times is not narrow or provin
cial in its policy.
The Times took the initiative in the matter of free trans
portation from the steamers in the channel to the shore. This
is of great benefit to the traveling public.
The Times took the iniiative in the matter of a territorial
school for the Junction. A school will be established there as
^con as the residents comply with the formalities governing
the establishment of such schools.
The Times fought for road and trail building in the Cache
creek country, to aid the miners in that gold camp. A road
commission force is now engaged in building a very necessary
road.
The Times called on the Alaska Road commission to imme
diately build an extension to the Willow creek road. An ar
ticle on another page indicates that this request will be granted.
The Times has taken the initiative in urging a beginning
on the harbor improvements at Anchorage. Work on this im
portant project, that spells prosperity for this town, will begir
early next season.
The Times bases its claims for support on the part of bus
incss firms and citizens of Anchorage on the high ground tiiaf
it is engaged in legitimate eonstructure work that will aid ev
ery person at all interested in this community and this part ol
Alaska. The large circulation of this paper in the town am
the surrounding country enables advertisers to have a valuable
advertising medium.
The Times believes in doing things.
About every prospector or mining man that returns frou
the Broad Pass country has something encouraging to sat
with respect to the mineral possibilities of that region. All ol
this encouraging news must be gratifying to residents of An
chorage, because this point will he the logical base and outfit
ting point for that va<t mineral country. Before the year 1 hi i
is ushered in, it is within range of possibility that th£ govern
ment railway will be completed far enough to be of substan
tial benefit to the claim owners of that district, permitting
them to take supplies and mining equipment to the scene with
out difficulty and at a reasonable cost. When this time ap
proaches, development work will begin to progress with leaps
and bounds. Then it is when this town will begin to derive tin
best results.
