ALASKA’S NEEDS.
Alaska has a big order for Con
gress to fill. Recently a bi-monthly |
bulletin issued by the Government's j
bureau of publicity drew up a list:
of things the Territory asks Con-1
gress to do. The lawmakers are1
urged to:
Restore the national forests to
the national domain or, at least, ^
allow the establishment of industry ’
therein. The pulp industry is anx
ious to start, but is kept. out.
Open up the oil lands to exploit
ation and exploration.
Extend the coal law’s of the Unit
ed States to Alaska.
Give the Territory jurisdiction
over the fisheries, game and fur
bearing animals.
Consolidate all governmental au- j
thoritv in on executive, thereby j:
i
eliminating conflicting jurisdictions. I
Remove the restriction on export ji
of birch timber from the public j]
domain.
Establish a constabulary.
Assign coastguard or naval ships 1
to constant duty in Alaskan waters
to assist in the enforcement of law i
and to be available for rescue work.
Assist the farmers by loaning ji
them money.
Increase telegraph service.
Restore the mail contract system ■
of shipping mail by freight and ex- j
press.
Make larger appropriations for'
highways.
Give the Indians better oppor
tunities for learning trades and es
tablish sanitariums for them.
Give Alaska aids to navigation
commensurate with trade demands.
Establish the muskox industry,
thereby making waste lands produc
tive.
Give Alaska the same opportuni
ty to develop that was accorded the
Western territories, now the West
ern states.
ENGLISH PROBLEMS.
Great Britain, like the United
States, is having great difficulty
attempting to establish an arbitra
tion tribunal to avert nation-wide
strikes, says an Associated Press
correspondent, writing from London. 1
There is as yet no adjustment of
the dispute arising out of the gov
ernment’s refusal to include cer
tain classes of workers under the
provisions of the Hours of Employ
ment bill which was introduced just
before parliament’s recess in Au- I
gust. And on an adjustment of
this difficulty, according to labor,
leaders, depends the success of fail- j
ure of efforts to establish in Great
Britain a National Industrial Coun
cil which, it was hoped, would obvi- 1
ate such trembles as the recent rail- ,
way strike.
The legislation in question would
grant a 48-hour week to all work
ers. but the government elected to
debar agricultural workers and sea
men from its application. The trade
unionists have steadfastly insisted
upon the inclusion of the debarred
workers and the employers have
intimated their acquiescence.
The trade unionists have intimat
ed to the government that, in ac- !
cordanee with the resolution passed i
by the full Industrial Conference
on April 4, they were unable tc
proceed with the formation of the
N’ational Industrial Council as lonp
is the government persisted in its
refusal to give effect to some of
:he important provisions of the
agreed report.
The government has reaffirmed its
attitude and refused to make any
roncession. The workers’ repre
sentatives, therefore, decided to first
neet the employers’ delegation, and
hen, if no progress could be made,
jo demand thaft the full Industrial
Conference should be recalled in
>rder that they might confer with
t and receive a further mandate.
Neither side shows indications of
willingness to give way. Many per
sons in touch with industra! affairs
jelieve it will end in the whole
scheme foi the setting up of a na
ional arbitration body falling
hrough, leaving the government to
>roceed with the Forty-Eight-Hours
fill on its own responsibility and
vithout the weight of employers and
rade unions behind it.
The situation is further compli
cated by the fact that the Trade
Jnion Congress, in accordance with
i resolution passed at its Glasgow
neeting in September, has decided
o proceed at once in the house of
■ommons with a bill establishing a
iniversa! working week of 44 hours,
it is likely that the two bills will
tppear before parliament at the
«une time if the Labor party can
ind opportunity- for its bill to be
iiscussed.
