ALASKA AND WICKERSHAM.
Alaska appears to have the usual factionalism in its poli
tics this campaign year. As to the merits of tin* rivalry and tin*
excuse, il any, tor a row over patronage the Post Intelligencer
dues not know or care. It does know, however, that Alaska is
mighty well represented in congress by Delegate .James Wicker
sham, and that, in this period of development and construction,
his services are needed at Washington more than before. To lose
his services at this juncture would be a serious mistake. The
territory cannot afford it. lie is an encyclopedia of Alaska in
formation. He knows the north laud and its needs from A to '/.
Few other Alaskans are so well informed and they lack the
knowledge of congress and the departments which his four
terms as delegate have given him. lie was working for a gov
ernment railroad while others were dreaming and hoping, and
to his persistent, tenacious and intelligent el tort-, more than to
any other one agency or medium, is due the consummation of
me splendid project. All workers for Alaska freely pay tribute
to his magnificent service. Much more is yet to be done for the
territory, and any thought of relieving Judge Wickersham is
manifestly lacking in wisdom.
Alaska needs him and will continue to need him, and all

On the ballot this lull will be held an eight hour day refer

who does work, getting an eight hour law. That, Pauline, is
known as political freedom.

Some of our Canadian contemporaries are now railing at

One of the big packing companies is fined $100 for selling

must pay for beautiful wrappers it would buy with greater re
gard for contents. In many cases containers actually are cost
ing more than contents. It is a terrible waste. To which may
be added the veracious statement that in many cases the cun
tents are valueless as food.

Candidate Charles K. Hughes, the Republican standard

right lines. Among other pertinent things he said:
“ We have got to have a new spirit in our business. I talked
a minute ago of co-operation. I would not have much confi
dence in speaking of a new spirit in American life if 1 did not
believe in the integrity of the business men of America. I do
believe in it. 1 believe that we can do tilings right in this coun
trv and develoo our resources. You have got an empire here in
Alaska. 1 want to see it developed right.”
LABOR'S RECORD:
DURING PAST
TEAR
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. — Frank
Morrison, secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, made public to
night the following statement in re
view of the labor situation:
"It is impossible to record funda
mental gains during the past year be
cause of organized labor's agitation
or to individualize probable gains dur
ing the year to come.
"The best we can do is to observe
tendencies. Prominent among these
is the workers' seizure of the cry for
‘preparedness' to emphasize a danger
in industry more deadly than battle
fields.
"Government statistics show that
32,000 men are annually killed,
and 700,000 are annually injured for
a period of four weeks, or over.
"It has been stated that every year
there are over 3,000,000 cases of in
dustrial illness, caused mainly by long
hours, low wages, dust, bad air, fumes,
smoke, poisonings and poor ventila
tion and that through typhoid fever
and malaria alone $000,000,000 is an
nually lost to this nation. Knough to
equip the largest army and navy In the
world, and then have a balance suffi
cient to pay the tuition of every boy
now in college.
‘A system of national preparedness
j that does not include recognition of
I this frightful and preventable wast
I age is the preparedness urged by big
I business. A mortality that ignores
| these facts and condemns war is
based on meaningless phrases.
“Another present day tendency is
the acceptance of organized labor’s
position on immigration restriction.
During the past year the acid test
of experience has verified the claim
of trade unions that American insti
J tutlons can not assimilate, nor Amen
j can standards resist, the flood tides
of induced immigration that has been
J the policy of captains of industry. In
! formation and reports received by the
! officers of the American Federation
] of Labor clearly demonstrates the fact
that a ‘labor famine' exists only
! where employers still demand long
] hours at low wages, and where they
j ignore the living standards set by the
! workers. Another element among em
ployers who talk of the scarcity of
labor do so to entice a sufficient tium
| her of idle workers to their factory
gates as a menace to those employed
and who are liable to demand better
conditions. These employers oppose
restriction of immigration because re
striction will defeat their policy of
i having two or more men for every
job.
“Another tendency is the growing
opposition to labor injunctions, which
class labor power as property. The
congress of the United States has
voiced this opposition in amendments
to the anti trust laws. Judicial inter
pretations of the term 'property' in
the fourteenth amendment of the fed
oral constitution are losing their
force. What was originally intended
to end slavery has been used to
thwart the enactment of social legis
lation, but courts have failed to check
the swelling tide of- democracy.
“The trade union movement is con
scious of the part it has played in
the tendencies above referred to. and
this consciousness will be an inspira
tion to greater effort during the com
ing year."
