THE STRIKE IS ENDED.
The information published,, in The Times in Saturday’s
issue, telling that the long-drawn out longshoremen’s strike at
Seattle had reached an amicable adjustment and that the men
would return to work, is a matter for congratulation. We shall
not discuss the merits of this labor difficulty, because we are
not advised as to the facts in the case. We know this, however,
that the walkout of the longshoremen has been disastrous for
Alaska, in that many important shipments that have been de
layed on the Seattle docks for an undue length of time, result
ed, in many cases, of a waste of an entire season. This is par
ticularly true in the matter of the shipment of mining machin
ery. Of course, the ship owners’ association declared that the
strike was not affecting freight shipments at all; that every
thing was moving along, the same as before the strike. Such
was not the case, as many shippers can testify. In the Cook in
let country, for instance, The Times has knowledge of several
very important shipments of machinery that were held up, sole
ly and only because of the strike. We trust that the matter
will be settled definitely, od a basis of equity to the men who
toil and to the ship owners, to the end that there will be no re
pitition of the water-front strike.
There are some disadvantages in getting out a daily news
paper in this town, chief among which is the unreliability of
the telephone system connecting Anchorage and Seward. And
this condition of uncertainty will exist until a substantial, per
manent telephone line shall be installed between the two
points. It is not expected that this will be possible until the
rails are laid along the shore of Turnagain arm, the perma
nent telephone following this course, instead of crossing the
summit as now. But it appears that the telephone line always
goes down when big news is coming up. It was down Friday
and the forepart of Saturday, with the big base ball series be
ginning the initial game at Boston. The Maine election was on
when it went down the time before this. We are confidently
looking forward to a line interruption when the presidential
election is on, next November. Truly, the troubles of an edi
tor are many, not the least of which is the fact that when he
comes down to the office in the morning, he doesn’t know
whether or not the telephone line is working. If it is not, as
so often occurs, then he flees to the exchange pile to gather
“ copy ” for the greedy linotype man. And the paper is
cussed ” for not having the usual telegraph news.
The segregated district, which was abandoned at the in
stance of the townsite authorities October 1, brought about a
clash between the townsite authorities and the marshal’s office,
charged with the preservation of law and order, according to
current rumor floating about the town. The result, we are in
formed, is that another segregated district has been established
at another point outside the townsite limits. If there is to be a
segregated district as an adjunct to this town, and upon that
question we do not pose as an authority, nor do we wish to en
ter into the details in the discussion of this moral subject, it
seems fair to ask why it was abolished in the first instance and
thus throw an additional burden on the occupants who there
by lose such improvements as may have been made? There
should be a fixed policy with respect to this matter and that
policy should be adhered to. There is no use in having such
matters up in the air all the time.
And now comes thejreport that our public schools are in a
dilemma, growing out of the want of funds to conduct them.
The governor, so report says, takes the view that the Anchor
age schools are not territorial schools, and hence cannot be sup
ported by funds for territorial school purposes. Everything
will come out all right in the end, and we might as well settle
this question now as at any other time, so we may know where
we are “at.” Government townsites are new adventures in
Alaska. No one here appears to know “who’s who.” We’ll
just pass the whole problem up to Secretary of the Interior
Lane, and in the meantime go right along with our schools.
The campaign for membership in the Alaska legislative as
sembly in this division is about; ills tame as it could possibly be.
We suppose that but few of the voters have taken enough in
terest in the matter to even know the names of all the candi
dates. George Dooley, the republican candidate for senator, is
going about the division getting acquainted with the people,
but lie’s the only one of the bunch that is making a personal
canvass. Dooley’s visit here gained him many votes, too.
The president of the Alaska Road Commission was an ar
rival on the steamer Mariposa, which recalls to mind that out
of the five hundred thousand dollar appropriation given by the
congress for the purpose of road and trail construction this
year, the Cook inlet country got a mighty small slice. We shall
expect more next season, colonel.
Delegate Wickersham, in his speech here Thursday night,
paid a fine tribute to Secretary of the Interior Lane, declaring
him to be the biggest man in President Wilson’s cabinet and
saying that he is the devoted friend of Alaska. And the dele
gate’s reference to the secretary was mighty well received by
the big audience.
