The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, farming, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
Gold placers of known value, close
to Nenana, are producing annually sub
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
little or no prospecting has been done.
These streams, until a short time ago
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
tivity.
Farming in the Nenana district has
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten days longer than that of any other
section of Interior Alaska. There is
much desirable land in the district open
to homesteaders, and marketing possi
bilities are being expanded steadily.
Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
fine quality of their fur, and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Nenana and receive for them higher
- prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.

Game of all kinds abounds in the
Nenana district, there are scores of
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. Hie district is the natural
gateway to Mt. McKinley National
Park, and close to Nenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.

resources and possibilities of the 'Ne

In a summary of “the essential
facts of the present industrial situ
ation,” the report of the executive!
council of the American Federation
of Labor, submitted to the annual
convention at Montreal this week,
refers to the momentous loss of life
and productive power and the rapid
consumption of many basic materi
als. It asserts that these are re
I
sponsible for much of the shortage
of commodities now experienced.
“Evidence in possession of the
trade union movement is that work
ers are as willing to work as ever
and that their productive capacity
is as great as if not greater than
ever,” the report states. It declares
that the influences which have oper
l
;ated since the war to check pro
■duetion “are under the control of
[employers and not of the workers,”
and it adds:
“In so far as possible, employers
hostile to labor have sought to rein-.
i 1
jtroduce autocratic control into in
dustry, making necessary a resist
ance on the part of the workers.
; Labor has enunciated the principle
that the workers are entitled to an
.effective voice in the management
(and control of industry. To a
larger degree than ever before, this
I principle was agreed to by employ
ers during the war. It was found
that it produced results of great
|value in the winning of the war. It
.made industry more productive,
j Industry today requires these
'remedial measures:
“It requires greater democracy in
order to give to the workers full
voice in assisting in its direction.
“It requires more intelligent man
,agemen<t and acceptance of the prin
jciple that production is for use and
'not for profit alone.
| “It requires full and free accept
ance and use of the best that in
dention has to offer.
| “It requires bold and audacious
i reconstruction of method and pro
jcess in the conduct of basic indus
tries.
j “Labor does not oppose introduc
tion of improved methods in indus
try. It courts and encourages im
provements in processes and in ma
chinery. What it will always resist
is the introduction! of these pro
cesses and this machinery at the ex
pense of the workers.
“There is a knowledge of indus
try among the workers in industry
■of which society has not begun
I avail itself. The effort has been to
'suppress use of that knowledge and
to demean those who possess it. The
workers know their work as non?
but the workers can know it. The
shoemaker knows his last and the
engineer understands the capacity
of his engine.

“The workers are appalled at the
waste and ignorance of management,
but they are too frequently denied
the chance to offer their knowledge
for use.
“They decline to be enslaved by
the use of their own knowledge,
and they cannot give of it freely
or effectively except as equals in
industry, with all of the rights and
privileges and with all of the stat
ure and standing of employers.
“Adoption of the principle of j
voluntary effort, of full co-opera
tion in industry, will bring to the I
industrial life of the nation such ]
an impetus that production will i
cease forever to be a problem in 1
American life.
“Adoption of the principles we
here urge will inevitably result in 1
a rapid decrease of the number of ’
non-producers who at present live by
fastening themselves in one useless
capacity of another^ upon the in- !
dustrial life of the country. Proper i
absorption of non-producers into use- j
ful channels would be a simple
problem.
“We urge the setting up of con
ference boards of organized work
ers and employers, thoroughly vol
untary in character and in thorough
accord with our trade union organ
izations, as means of promoting the
democracy of industry through de
velopment of co-operative effort. ,
We point out to employers the fact
that industry, which is the lifeblood
of our civilization, cannot be made
the plaything and the pawn of a
few who by chance today hold con
trol. Industry is the thing by which
all must live, and it must be given
the opportunity to function at its
best.
“Labor turnover is but one of the
evils which will disappear in propor
tion as the workers are given voice
in management. This is proven by
statistics which show the lowest
turnover in those industries where
the workers exercise the most- ef
fective voice by reason of the high
est degree of organization.
“We propose the salvation of in
dustry. We propose the means
whereby the world may be fed and
clothed and housed and given hap
piness. Wre have service to give,
and if permitted to give freely and
on terms of manhood and equality,
we will give in abundance. We
cannot be driven as slaves, but we
can give mighty service in a com
mon elfort of humankind.”
On the subject of Bolshevism and
other extremist propaganda, the re
port has this to say:
“During the year just passed the
labor movement has stood its ground
solidly and maintained the progres
sive, constructive policy which has
marked it apart from most of the
labor movement of the world thru
out the whole period of the world
war.
“But the nation has witnessed
sporadic outbreaks of extremist sen
timent and has been compelled to
deal with extremist propaganda in
|a number of cases since the war
'period came to an end. This ten
Ulency toward unreasoned conduci
and unreasoned thought has been
most unfortunate for the nation and
still more unfortunate for those who
have been the participants.
I “Bolshevism has been a lure for
some of our people and its doc
trines have been propagated with
great vigor. This hideous doctrine
has found converts among two class
es of people principally—those in
tellectuals, so-called, who have no
occupation save that of following
one fad after another, and those so
beaten in the game of life that they
find no appeal in anything except
the most desperate and illogical
schemes. The rank and file of the
organized labor movement, as was
to have been expected, has given no
countenance to the propaganda of
Bolshevism, but has, on the con
trary, been its most effective op
ponent in America.
“The propaganda of revolutionary
thought has not been limited to the
propaganda of Bolshevism. It has
taken other forms. The ‘one big
union* idea has had its adherents,
despite the disastrous results of the
experiment in Canada with its

It is gratifying to note that every-'
where the ostensible strength of this
propaganda has been lost and that
its fallacies are daily becoming
clearer to its former victims.
“Of more importance than the ,
results of studied propaganda of
revolution and extremism is the
feeling of unrest among our people ;
which is due to abuses in our po- |
litical and industrial life and which 1
seeks relief and freedom and not !
revolution and catastrophe.
“The written and spoken propa- !
ganda of unreason and extremism
can be met and defeated by truth.
But legitimate unrest, growing out
of conditions of injustice, can be
met and overcome only by intelli
gent dealing with conditions. Those 1
who drink from a poisoned well will
be poisoned until the well itself is
cleansed.”
