ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
Following a consultation at Ju
neau recently between E. J. Whitt
of the Territorial Publicity bureau
and Tom Conrad, secretary of Local
No.. 1, Alaska Industrial union, it
was agreed to co-operate in secur
ing data about cannery workers, in
order that the cannerymen may be
given definite information for giving
Alaskans preference for work in
the canneries.
The publicity bureau will look to
the union for piledrivers, riggers,
fishtrap men, web workers, and car
penters. Th^ union will assist in
getting all families and other work
ers to register with the publicity
bureau for employment.
Both Mr. White and Mr. Conrad
expressed a desire to discourage the
practice of having men brought
from the Outside for work, when
ever Alaskans could be supplied.
It was estimated that there are
at least 600 persons in Juneau at
the present time available for can
nery' work, not counting the na
tives. Nearly 200 already have reg
istered with the publicity bureau,
and women and men are coming in
daily to register.
YANKEE WAY EEST.
Harry W. Braddon, formerly Aus
tralian commissioner to the United
States, told Australians in a speech
at Melbourne recently that he pre
ferred the American system of "tret
ting" together to settle labor diffi
culties over the Australian compul
sory arbitration plan.
“The Americans told me they
would not touch the Australian sys
tem with a 10-foot pole,” said Mr.
Braddon. "I have come hack to
Australia convinced that they are
right. The whole system of com
pulsory arbitration is based on
wrong principles. The American
motto, ‘Get together,' is the right
idea. I would like to see the whole
Australian arbitration court struc
ture swept away to make room for
a system which would allow em
ployers and employes to get to
gether and enable each party to
come to a proper understanding o£
the other’s peculiar difficulties.”
Speaking of American character
istics, Mr. Braddon said that when
he first went to America he was a
little skeptical about the idealism of
whch he had heard, but that closer
acquaintance had removed all his
doubts. “Far from being hard and
material, the Americans are the
most ideal-loving nation in the
world, emotional at times to the
point of sentimentality."
OPPORTUNITY SUPPING.
Chilean merchants complain of
delays in delivery of goods ordered
from the United States, and that in
some cases their orders are not
filled by North American manufac
turers, because the United States
does not use the metric system of
measures, says an Associated Press
correpondent, writing from Santi
ago.
Some Chileans declare that, in
stead of consulting the wishes and
j peculiarities of the Chilean mar
ket, the American seems incline
jto sell only what he has to offe
and to impose conditions.
As evidence of this situation, tin
Chileans cite the case of a firm o;
j wholesale dealers w ho placed in th<
: United States a large order foi
i light summer wear textiles which
were needed there in December
, They paid 30 percent on account
and, after awaiting shipment, were
i advised that it could not be made
before the end of January. This
i
cost that firm its summer trade.
The Chileans say that no explana
tions can condone that.
; The newsprint paper business is
j declared to have been completely
; taken away from the United States
by Norwegian competitors because
the Americans cannot guarantee de
liveries nor prices.
One firm of iron founders placed
| a big order for material of vari
ous qualities and dimensions, and
two months later received advices
that the material could not be ship
ped, as the manufacturers could ae
, liver goods only to approximate
metrical measurements.
; There is some complaint that
; there seems to be no system in the
i North American export business and
that the sellers have lost sight of
the principle that the buyer is not
forced to buy unless he chooses;
that he has opportunity for choice
.and will buy where he obtains sat
isfaction in quality, delivery and
-credits.
Chile imports about SI50,000,000
worth of goods annually and, now
;that the nitrate export trade 'i
booming, there is an active market
there for machinery for new en
terprises, steel and iron for public
works and railroads, iron for private
industry, petroleum, textiles, sugar,
■and automobiles.

MONEY FOR ALASKA.
j “Probably the most remarkable
condition that I noted on our trip
throughout the country was the fact
■ that so many persons with money
are anxious to loam of opportuni
ties to invest in Alaska,” said
Ctiarles H. Cosgrove, the well-known
coast attorney, who returned to
! Ketchikan recently after an ab
jsence of three months. “In New
Orleans, Baltimore, and Philadelphia
• I found people who had money
| ready to invest if they could bul
llind the proper place to put it.”
During his absence, Mr. Cosgrove
, visited Seattle, San Francisco, Los
j Angeles, New Orleans, Washington
: Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York,
! Boston, Chicago, and Vancouver, B,
jC., and found evidences of prosper;.
ity general throughout the country.
