democracy.”
Your Red Cross fights to make it fit for democracy.
Fights for your soldiers—yours and your allies—in trench,
canteen and hospital.
Fights for the little children, to save them for the nations ’
iupbuildings of tomorrow.
Fights for the swarms of homeless, dazed refugees and
“repatriates” thrown out from the war’s black whirlpool.
\ 4iijl
Fights the white plague, tuberculosis, that takes a greater
toll than lead and steel.
Fights in every war-stricken country to uphold a wrecked
and suffering humanity in its struggle for a free existence.
One hundred million dollars to “carry on.”
No power of taxation, no interest rate to urge those dollars.
Each one a volunteer, sent willingly and by the heart
I alone.
The noblest fund of all the billions of this war’s vast
budgets—because the freest given.
What share is yours? What sacrifice to mobilize those
fighting Red Cross dollars?

thus helping to win the war.

Ralph E. Robertson, working for
| the federal public service bureau, has
I been busy with a heavy correspond
' ence with a view of learning the exact
labor situation in Alaska, and whether
there is a need of establishment of
federal employment offices in certain
districts in Alaska.
The task is not so easy as it might
I seem at first glance, as Mr. Robert
! son is beginning to find out, owing to
a wide range of opinion concerning la
bor. It is said that there are many
idle men at Anchorage, wh'ile some
j deny this, stating that whatever sur
| plus there may be will be absorbed
as soon as the summer railway ac
tivities and other industries start up.
The government is trying to get ac
curate figures on the man-power and
labor supply and demand throughout
the nation, with a view of securing
the distribution of labor and skilled
workers where they are most needed
j and where they will best serve indus
trial interests. /
"'Even with the ending of the war,”
said a local resident in discussing
the matter, “we shall never go back
* to the old plan of allowing a great
j congestion of labor In any particular
i district. The government plan of se
curing definite information and of a
distribution of labor where it is most
j needed, through federal employment
offices, will be continued. The days
of the private employment offices are
a thing of the past. The war needs
| have brought about practical social
| ism, the co-operation between the gov
I ernment, the business men and the
labor unions, and other great eco
nomic reforms which will be contin
ued and improved at the end of the
war. The clock of progress can never
be turned backward again.”
