MANY STRIKES
DUE TO STRIFE
NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (by Associated
Press).—Ninety-five per cent of the
strikes and 75 per cent of the days
of idleness in the building trades in
the past have occurred through what
is known as “snowballing,” or con
troversies between wage-earners
themselves as to which trade should
do the work, says Franklin T. Miller,
president of the F. W. Dodge Com
pany, and formerly director of the
division of public,works and construc
tion of the United States department
of labor. Only 5 per cent, he declares,
have been on questions between em
ployer and employe.
Mr. Miller, who has been in touch
with the construction industry in this
country for twenty-five years, cited
the case of a big Chicago hotel cost
ing millions, the work on which had
been delayed, he said, more than a
year because of a disagreement be
tween skilled workers as to who
should handle certain doors because
of the preponderance of metal over
wood. This, he said, was an inevi
table consequence of the rapid devel
opment of the industry. Analyzing
the situation and the building outlook
for 1920, Mr. Miller said:
“The creation of a board of juris
dictional award by the United States
department of labor, a board composed
of architects, engineers, contractors,
material men and wage earners,
promises a solution of one of the most
difficult labor problems in the build
ing industry. As a result of it de
creased cost of production may be ex
pected. The board of jurisdictional
award has been formulated with the
full approval of all interests con
cerned, who seem to have entered
into it without reservation.
“The labor outlook in the building
industry thus promises a condition of
greater stability during the coming
year because of the organized deal
ings between employers and employes,
with full recognition of the term con
tract and arbitration principles.”
ABE RUEFS SENTENCE
OF FOURTEEN YEARS
TO TERMINATE TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Allowing for good be
havior credits, the penitentiary sen
tence of Abraham Ruef, political boss
whose conviction was the outstanding
feature of the famous San Francisco
municipal graft cases, expires today,
according to records in the governor’s
office at Sacramento.
“Abe” Ruef was sentenced in 1911
to serve fourteen years in prison. He
was paroled in 1915, and since that
time he has conducted a real estate
business here. He spent three years
in jail here following his first indict
ment.
In Ruef’s trial Francis J. Heney,
chief of the prosecution counsel, was
shot and seriously wounded by Morris .
Haas, a member of the jury venire.
Haas subsequently killed himself in
jail.
The department of agriculture as
sisted the census bureau in preparing
the list of questions to be asked of
every farmer at the coming census.
United States marshals acted as
'enumerators at the first decennial cen
suses. Each marshal had as many
assistants as were necessary to prop
erly cover his allotted territory.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our* expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
