THE COMING RED CROSS DRIVE
The second war drive of the Ameri
can Red Cross will be undertaken
from May 20 to May 27.
The Red Cross will raise another
hundred million dollars in those eight
days. That sum was raised last
spring, and the feat should bo dupli
cated without difficulty. Workers
should find the money much more
easily raised than in the first drive.
The reason for saying this is that
the best arguments for helping the
Red Cross that can be thought of are
printed every day on the front pages
of every newspaper in the land, {stone
who can read of the gigantic battle
now being waged can fail to realize
the need for providing funds in am
plest amount for the work of those
who are caring for the wounded.
American soldiers are in the tren
ches of France. More of them will
be there from day to day, and before
the year is out more than half a mil
lion Yankees will be fighting the
Huns.
Every press dispatch announcing
American participation in the con
test, every casualty list that tells of
American boys wounded, is a person
al appeal to the American people to
be free with their gifts to the agency
that brings mercy to fields that run
in blood.

NO STRIKES DURING WAR
The law that has passed Congress
and been signed by the President ma
king it illegal for workers on gov
ernment contracts to strike will meet
with general approval from the work
ing men. The laboring classes are
assured fair adjustment of all dis
putes, and they have had no reason to
complain of the decisions of media
tors since the war began.
At times it has seemed in this coun
try that war work might be seriously
hampered by strikes. But all the
time it was certain that in the end
some agreement would be made that
would solve the difficulty. That was
sure because this war is a war of all
the people, and the interests of all
are precisely the same. That being
the case it was evident from the be
ginning that the people would see the
danger of delaying government work
and would generally demand that
some method be found to obviate dis
turbances that were of so much perii
to the nation.
Patriotism demands that capita
and labor now settle all disputes
without the interruptions to industrj
that otherwise exist. The demanc
has been met, and war work will no
again be stopped pending adjustment
of disputes.
The country will incidentally learr
that where men try to be just and
fair and really want to get together
there Is nothing that can keep them
apart. A new policy in the relations
of capital and labor may conceivably
be an outgrowth of the war.

WOMEN ASK RIGHT TO WORK
Women are not going to allow the
men to Impose on them what the
masculine mind regards as safe
guards to feminine health and well
being, but which are not so regarded
by the women.
In New York state there is a law
that women cannot work in factories
after 10 o’clock at night. This is
greatly resented by the women work
ers in the composing rooms of New
York newspapers. It makes it im
possible for them to work at their
trade on the night shift, and many of
them are thus thrown out of work.
In order to satirize the situation
and to show mere man with what
disgust women who think they can
take care of themselves look upon
his attempts to legislate for them,
some women have introduced in the
New York legislature the following
bill:
“In order to supplement the salu
tary laws which promote the health
and morals of women by preventing
their gaining a livelihood by working
after 10 o’clock at night, it is here
by made unlawful for any woman,
whether she be an employe or other
wise, to be in ary place of amuse
j ment or attend any entertainment,
theatrical or otherwise, performance
i or exhibition or social gathering, af
ter 10 o’clock at night, or oftener
than twice each week at any hour of
the day. Any woman violating the
provision of this section shall be guil
ty of a misdemeanor.”
All over the country there have
been drawn up rules and laws that
actually do keep the women out of
work. In some states women are not
allowed to *work as street car conduc
tors.
The women are going to have some
thing to say on what they can and
cannot do, and the men can depend
on them for that.

From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress

!nn «Lti t nearly a year Slnce I was seated in the House as Alaska's
representative to congress During the most of this time the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this

willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo

program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop

I hate introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
Making changes in the homestead law's by abolishing the eighty rod
reservation.
‘‘Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
‘‘Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane wuthin the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress."
