[ LIGHTHOUSES REPORT
SHORTAGE OF KEEPERS
■
Who will keep the lights burning
in the lighthouses along the coast of
Alaska? That question is troubling
the lighthouse service this year, for
there is a shortage of men, and ap
peals to the civil service for new ones
have failed to get results. To accept
a position in the service as a light
house tender means isolation, but
otherwise every possible comfort is
provided, and few of the men engaged
fail to save a nice stake, as they have
little chance to spend their savings.
The service is exacting in that it re
Mr. McBride, according to letteers re
sourceful, and the country is being
scoured for timber of this kind. If
they are not found in Alaska the serv
ice may have to send to the States for
them, for it is essential that the lights
now in existence must be kept in good
shape, for the safety of nevigation de
pends upon it.

I ALLEN WOULD PROTECT THE PUBLIC
—™- I— ■ ———— ■— ■ ■ II ■ «.
i Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas
handled the coal strike situation in
his state in a way that attracted na
tional attention. He acted on the
principle that the public interest is
supreme, seized the mines and set
volunteers to work in getting out the
coal.
He now proposes to give per
manency to this emergency policy.
The Kansas court of industrial rela
tions, planned by Governor Allen and
to be submitted to the special session
of the legislature, is founded upon the
Idea of giving the labor umons a direct
legal entity and taking away the strike
privilege by giving the unions and the
employers something else. This court
carl only be appealed to when efforts
at mediation have failed.
It can act upon its own initiative
when the public welfare is endangered.
It can take over the operation of an
f t»sst»iuuu liiuusiry—u proviues uijj.v
for operation in disputes involving fuel, food, clothing and transportation—
when the owners threaten to close it down and it can put the owners or
managers in jail. It can take over any labor union which conspires to de
crease production or to close an industry, take its money, and put its leaders
and its members in jail.
The court is the direct representative of the public and not the repre
sentative of either the employer or the employee.
