THE BLOCKADE OF ALASKA.
The longshoremen’s strike on the Pacific coast thus iar
• ’ |*1
has been successful, inasmuch as the only vessels thus far
loaded have had their cargoes placed aboard by union help,
who were paid the scale of wages demanded by the strikers, j
Other vessels sailing, particularly for the north, have gone .
either with no freight or only a part cargo. The result is that
Alaska today is facing a rigid blockade.
The steamship Victoria, which sailed for Nome, had only!
a half cargo; the steamship Alameda, sailing for Cordova and
southwestern ports, had only fifty tons, and the City of Seattle, b
bound" fpr southeastern Alaska ports, sailed without freight.
It is a question how long it will be possible for the people
of Alaska to live without the importation of food supplies.
Nmic of the merchants on the coast carry particularly large
stocks, and especially in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and
Douglas, where the merchants are served with a steamship
everv day, there never has been any good reason for carrying
large stocks.
When tin* strike was first called the steamship companies
warned the people of Alaska to conserve their supplies, as it is
impossible to tell how long the strike may last.
Of course there is no danger of the people of Alaska real
|y suffering on account of inability to get supplies. On the
other hand, either side might use the necessities of the Alaskans
as a club to force its opponents into giving concessions.
It is plain to be seen that the steamship companies will not
let the people of Alaska suffer for the sake of saving the lew
dollars in wages demanded by the men; it is likewise certain
that flic longshoremen gladly would handle the freight to Alas
ka for nothing, rather than cause a serious shortage of food up:
here. The only question is, whose duty is it to’surrender first ?
There probably will be no shortages of necessities tor at
h> is< a month, but in the meantime, if the strike shows no signs
of lotting up, it is just as well for the people of Alaska to pat !
p in alter the German people and conserve every particle of
food for future necessities.

WOMEN LEARNING POLITICS.
Eastern women an* learning a few of tin* biases and gores
of political polities even before being given the vote. A pub
licity circular .just received from the Congressional Union head
quarters announces that it will have a war chest filled with a
cool $100,000 for campaign purposes when it launches the new
woman’s party in Chicago at the convention called to meet co
incident with the national Republican and what is left o ftlie
Progressive party conventions. The circular boldly says:
“The new woman’s party will go into tin* presidential
campaign with $100,000 to its credit if a movement launched
today by the Congressional Union is carried to a successful
climax. Announcement of a campaign to raise thousands to
finance the women’s fight to secure the passage of the Susan
B. Anthony amendment was made by Miss Alice Paul, nation
al chairman of the union, at the convention headquarters in
Chicago.
“The $100,000 campaign was launched by a committee of
prominent suffragists, among them Mrs. Harold lekes, wife of
the well known Progressive leader; Mrs. Julius Rosenwald, wife
of tin* millionaire mail order merchant; Mrs. Robert bowler
Cummings, Mrs. Euella Ktilwell Kinnard, Mrs. Sheldon Leavitt
and Mrs. Lemon! Rowland. Mrs. E. A. McCrea, who heads the
finance committee, is to have charge of the task of raising the
amount needed to set* the suffragists through tin* presidential
campaign.
“Mrs. (). II. P. Belmont, of New York, paved the way for
a speedv realization of their hopes by sending a check for $2,
000. During the day the fund was twelled to $2,210 by con
tributions of $100 from Mrs. F. R. Hazard, of New York, $50
from Mrs. Avery Coonley, of Chicago, and smaller sums from
Mis. Mary Anderson Barton, Maximilian Goldberg, Mrs. Cor
nelia Treuhart, Miss Alice Treuhart and Miss Ina Taft.”
The circular adds that the women are not novices in rais
ing and spending campaign funds, having raised and spent
$132,728 in the campaign four votes for women during tilt*
past twelve months. The circular was with a threat to wield'
the balance of power by women’s votes in the states wherein
they already have tin* franchise.— Tacoma News.
-— :o:
It long lias been a favorite comparison when wishing to
denote stability to say “as solid as a mountain.” But from the
manner in which the big Austrian guns are tearing the peaks
to pieces, it will be necessary to find something that really can
stand up under the stress of modem warfare.
---:o:
Today is the day scheduled for the nomination of Roose
velt by tin* Progressives. It also is the day tor the nomina
tions of the Republican convention. It is the last chance for
the political prophet to make his reputation.
--:o:
All the political leaders in Chicago are now crying haj1
mpny. If things go wrong they will be calling for blood at this
time next week.
