Charles E. Sulzer, the democratic
candidate for delegate to congress, has
been touted by his advocates as the
friend of the laboring man. A signed
statement, appearing over the signa
ture of the president and secretary of
the American Federation of Miners’
branch union at Sulzer, Alaska, has
been issued and is being employed to
further the candidacy of the demo
cratic nominee. To controvert the
glowing account of the nominee’s de
voted friendship for the man who
toils, as told by some of his paid em
ployees, The Times publishes the fol
lowing signed affidavit, made by an
experienced miner who was employed
at the Sulzer mine, as follows:
United States of America, Territory
of Alaska, Juneau Precinct, SS:
I Charles Carlson, being first duly
sworn, deposed and say that I am by
occupation a miner and that I worked
in such capacity at the mines under
the direction of Charles E. Sulzer, at
Sulzer, Alaska, for a period of seven
months ending September 18, 1916.
I have worked in mining camps for
over 30 years and I have never seen
a permanent camp where such poor
accommodations were provilded for
working men as at Sulzer, and which
consist of a bunk house built ten years
ago for the temporary accommodation
of 51 men.
It is a single room built of rough
lumber with three tiers of bunks along
the walls and with never more day
light tjian is afforded by a window un
der the ridge of the roof at each gable
end.
The place reeks with bed bugs and
other vermin. There were sixteen
miners employed there on the day I
quit.
Part of this bunk house is now used
for a kitchen and dining room, in
which Japanese and Chinese labor is
employed.
The dry room is under the bunk
house and the stench of drying dirty
clothes exudes through the cracks in
the bunk house floor and are in plac
es an inch wide.

iiftiiSiaiifiiKfiSiaiifi!
The above maxim of James Briee is deserving of your
careful consideration.
There are a number of the most.progressive business and
professional men in Anchorage who believe in it, and have
proven the strength of their conviction by joining the Chamber
of Commerce.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
The Chamber of Commerce is a civic organization. It
fosters the school interests; it stimulates civic improvements;
it works for a cleaner city, both morally and physically; it
furnishes information; it promotes and protects the best in
terests of Anchorage.
Mr. Property Owner, Mr. Business Man or Mr. Profession
al Man, whom the Chamber of Commerce directly benefits, can
you afford to permit a few men to carry on this organization
without your help?
Think it over. Get in touch with the affairs of the com
munity by becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce
and help for a better Anchorage.
DO IT NOW.
The Chamber of Commerce furthers the unified interests
of all the citizens, and is the only effective medium of expres
sion in municipal affairs.
To those citizens who have their money invested here, to
the optimists, to the well-wishers and believers of Anchorage,
we respectfully solicit your application for membership.

FAMILIES OF
OFFICERS ARE
ILL TREATED
LONDON, Oct. 10.—(By Mail)—
Officer’s wives and families, left in
straightened circumstances, are being
cared for in a magnificent manner by
the British government. Private ho
tels, boarding houses, residences and
public buildings are being comman
deered daily for occupancy by families
of fighting men.
The method of securing these places
is causing owners some inconvenience
but in all cases the first complaints
are followed by cheerful acquiesance.
A private hotel in Brunswick Square
which has been the home of three
United Press correspondents, was tak
en over by the government today after
only four days notice. Henceforth it
will be the residence of the families of
nine English army officers.
The lessees of the Brunswick
Square house were actually flabber
gasted when government agents told
them to evacuate with all their guests,
who were requested that evening to
find new homes within two days. There
was consternation among the feminine ,
guests, two of whom had been recent
ly saddened by the deaths of relatives
by German bullets. However, after :
the first flurry and when the object of
the move became clear, the grumbling
ceased. At least fifteen people arc
pounding London’s pavements search
ing for new homes today, realizing
that they are helping the government
provide for those whose need is great.
To compensate the owners or les
sees of commandeered buildings, the
government allows a certain portion j
of the yearly rent. The furniture and <
servants are taken over with the build- j
ings, the government becoming active \
head of the hotel or residence. The ‘
Empire’s agents who inspect the
premises to be used for officer’s fami
lies are skilled in the work; for they ■
invariably take over those containing
every convenience.
Six months ago, London newspapers
contained scores of advertisements ;
asking domicile for officers’ wives.
The little “ads’’ were pitiful in a way,
as each suggested the picture of a ner
vous and fear stricken woman- who
had waved farewell to a husband go
ing to the front, smiling bravely until
the train pulled out and then sobbing
her way to some strange hotel. Today
these advertisements have practically
disappeared. The official heart of the
government has been touched and
henceforth the men at the front will
know that their families are in good
surroundings.
The Farthest North Cafeteria.
In the rush of the good time you’ll
be having at the Hallowe’en Night’s
dance at Robarts’ hall, given by the
Ladies Guild, you want to stop to eat
but you can and will, for there will be
a regular “Outside" cafeteria running
full blast and the time that you’lltake
won’t be lost, because, think of the
“good eats” you’ll have.
A Little Tip—Mr. Wardell, the U.
S. marshal, is a pleasant and agreea
ble man to meet socially but he does
his duty and if instead you steal a few
signs or a gate or two and get “pinch
ed,” don’t blame us, we have invited
you to come where you will be safe
