STRIKE LOSSES.
Strikes and lockout referred to
the United States Department of
.Labor for settlement in the year
1919, we are told, involved 2,300,
000 workers and cost them in lost
wages upward of $100,000,000. This
is rather startling. But, we are
further told, these cases constituted
"only a small percentage of the
actual number of strikes.” They
do not even include the steel and
coal strikes.
Thus, points out the New York
World, the actual number of work
ers involved in strikes during one
year must have been several times
2,300,000. Thus their wage losses
must have been several times SI 00,
000,000. What the employers lost
is not even guessed at, but it must
have been many times what the
workers lost. What they lost alto
gether would unquestianably run ■
into the billions of dollars. And it
was an absolute loss. It was a loss
that will never be recovered. It
was a loss, moreover, which only
accentuated the general cause of
the strikes and made still more un
bearable the costs of living.
THAT SUGGESTS"
The Seattle Times calls attention
to the circumstance that Canada
has been furnishing a market for
American products to t'ne value of
approximately SI00 for each man,
woman, and child of that country.
The Times says this is the largest
per capita market the United States
has.
And that is true, says the Juneau
Empire, as far as it concerns a
foreign country, and it is indica
tive of the foolishness of any at
tempt to create national feeling or
to rouse prejudices in either Ameri
ca to Canada against the other coun
try.
However, the figures quoted by
the Times suggest another thought.
Alaska furnished a market for the
products of the United States last
year of over $37,000,000 in value.
This means from $1,200 to $1,500
for each white man. woman and
child in the Territory. And that
suggests that a country which is
doing so much for the development
of American trade and industry is
worthy of very serious considera
tion at the hands of the country.
RABBI WISE.
‘‘I shall do everything I can with
in and without Washington, to point
out the tragedy of the great em
pire that is left largely if nort wholly
undeveloped,” said Rabbi Stephen
A. Wise, of New York, the noted
Jewish leader, on the occasion of
his recent visit in Southeastern Al
aska.
“Alaska, by reason of its unlim
ited resources,” he added, “has the
making of a rich and noble state.
It will be good business for the
people of the United States and the
Government to remember that Alas
ka is not an island of a distant
sea, inhabited by inferior people,
but that it is a part of continental
Un:"ed c’tates, ready for develop
ment into one of the strongest re
\
gions of the nation. It should be
'regarded as one of the potentially
enriching factors of American life

AERIAL SEASICKNESS.
Lieut. Ferrarin, or.e of the two
famous Italian airmen who flew
i from Rome to Tokio, encountered
such rough air conditions while
crossing the length of Korea that
jthey made him seasick. The tempest
met ir. the Hakone mountains was
I unparalleled.
i ‘‘In my entire flying experience,”
he said to an Associated Press cor
respondent at Tokio, “I had never
I before met with such conditions.
The air was so disturbed over Korea
that the machine pitched like a
small boat in a heavy swell, and
for the first time in my life I knew
what it was to be seasick. As soon
as I reached the straits, where an
escort of Japanese destroyers was
waiting for me, the air conditions
improved and the rest of my flight
to Tokio. except for the storm in
the Hakone. was made in ideal
weather.”
One of the most difficult parts of
his flight to Tokio. he explained,
was between Rangoon and Bangkok,
where very heavy fogs were en
countered. making it extremely dif
ficult to keep on the course. Be
tween Ubon and Hanoi. Lieut. Fer
rarin was forced to follow a train
for about three hours in order to
keep on the right course.
“The most exciting part of my
trip occurred in Asia Minor.” he
said, “about 100 miles from Aleppo,
where I was subjected to heavy ma
chine-gun fire by the Arab rebels.
Again, in Baluchistan, where I was
forced to land on account of minor
engine trouble. I was captured by
the natives, imprisoned, and not al
lowed to leave until I succeeded in
establishing my identity. They
thought I was a British aviator,
but when they learned I was an
Italian I was liberated.” *
