COHDOVA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, UH7.
BOTH ARE MENACE TO COUNTRY
The impending strikes and marked scarcity of labor threat
en no end of trouble before the approaching winter is well
along. There is grave danger of the industries of the country :
Iteing tied up just at a time when it will be imperative that
every industry be kept running at full blast. Widespread labor
trouble is in the wind and it will be upon us when we are least
prepared to deal with the situation. Mucliof the current,dissat
isfaction is due to the agitation of the 1. W. W., but not all.
Labor holds an ancient grudge against capital and the stress of
the war and the high cost of living has made this feeling of
enmity extremely acute. T
In view of the alarming situation, the government should
lose no time in taking whatever action the circumstances
justify. We are inclined to think that the administration puts
too much faith in the representations of Samuel Gompers. lie
seems to have lost his grip on his own organization, and certain
ly his promise that labor would do nothing to disturb the conn
t ry during the war has not materialized. In fact, we believe that
the administration would find the rank and file of labor morel
amenable to reason if Gompers was kicked tnit of Washington.1
The government should proceed to catalogue the labor
troubles in two classes—those based on the need for obtaining .
bread and butter and those based on an arbitrary demand for j
union recognition. The former class should be given every
consideration, no matter what the cost, for it is just as essential
to keep the industrial army in fit condition as it is the army in |
uniform. The latter class should be dealt with in summary jj
fashion. It might even become necessary for the government
to draft these trouble makers into the service of the nation and
then detail them to#ork at their old jobs. Compared with the
I. W. W., the growing discontent among the labor organizations
constitutes just as great a menace; not that it has lawless ten
dencies, but because it is liable to paralyze the industries of the
country and result in irreparable damage. This matter demands
immediate attention.
YOUNG MEN NEEDED IN NAVY
r _
Young men of Alaska who contemplate entering some
branch of the military service will be interested to know that ;
a naval militia training station has ben established at Seattle
,n the grounds of the University, for the instruction of young
aen in seamanship and nautical afairs.
The naval naliUadaifln organization of civilians who have a
are TOT siiTiject’^(Tmilitarj- draft After completing their train
ing they will enter the regular navy, filling the same positions
and performing the same duties as the officers and enlisted
men of the regular navy. The Members of the naval militia
have this advantage over the regular enlisted men of the navy. 1
Naval militiamen join for the period of the war, and will be 1
allowed to return to civilian life as soon as peace is declared,
while the regular navy men must enlist for a four-year period.
The naval militia training school is located on Lake Wash
ington, which has been made accessible to all kinds of sea !
*r going craft through the completion of the Lake Washington '
canal. The lake affords facilities for naval aeronautics, boat
races and drills and swiming exercises.—Ex.

And now comes Donald B. MacMillan, after four years in
the Arctic, and puts Admiral Peary in the Cook class. Mr.
MacMillan declares the good admiral was seeing things when!
he discovered land at the North Pole.

What an awful predicament faces the beaux of Seattle.
The candy makers are on strike. What will the poor boys do '
when the present supply is exhausted! The girls won’t eat
non-union stuff.

It seems to us that $50,000 apiece for dead Germahs is a
pretty stitt price. However, freedom is a priceless heritage, and
no one should count the cost of preserving it.
