MILITARISM VS. JUSTICE
There is too much show of mili
tarism in connection with the rail
strike now in progress in the States
The President, in his public utter
ances, conveys the impression that
he regards the shopmen without
rights of any kind, and he would
even go to the extreme of drafting
citizens into an army of oppression
to break the strike, if the law per
mitted. That the question of draft
ing was actually under consideration
was indicated only too plainly by
questions recently put to the legal
department of the army by the sec
retary of war. And the President
has declared several times lately
that he is ready to use the full
power of the government to back
the railroad interests.
The News holds no brief for
strikers who disregard the rights of
others but the mere act of striking
scarcely warrants military action.
And it does not follow necessarily
That the shopmen are wrong merely
because they have refused to obey

NOTARY PUBLIC
; the mandate of a high salaried fed
eral board which has ruled that
they shall lower their standard of
living' for the benefit of the rail
roads.
As Secretary of Labor Davis
aptly put it, in his address at
Mooseheart yesterday, the workers
of the country are enjoying com
forts unknown to them before the
war—denied to them by the system
which gave all to the employers
And why should they not continue
to live decently? That system is
wrong which gives all to one class
and seeks to deprive the producing
class of the common comforts ox
life. The balance is uneven and
should be adjusted. And the Presi
dent should be the first to recog
nize the rights of labor, instead of
talking of employing the military
forces of the country to reduce
standards of living.
While there may be no connection
between prohibition and the in
creasing death rate in the United
States, the figures of the Govern
; ment statisticians are surprising, to
say the least. And it is reasonably
! safe to predict that continued moon
shining and use of wood alcohol as
, a national beverage will not im
I prove conditions.

NEW COMPANY PREPARING
FOR WORK IN NOME CAMP
The Hammond Consolidated Min
ing Company, which has taken
over large holdings in the Nome
district, has a large force of men
at work this season, preparing for
the installation of several monster
steel dredges which will begin op
erations on a large scale as soon
as they can be assembled. The
company has more than 200 men
at work now.
News of the invasion of the new
company was brought to Nenana
last week by Vance R. McDonald,
well known traveling man, who
spent a considerable part of the
summer in the Nome district and
along the lower Yukon.
The city of Nome. Mr. McDonald
says, was quite lively while he was
there, with the ocean boats bring
ing large additions to the popula
tion. And the coming of the Ham
mond company has filled the camp
with new promise.
The new dredges will burn oil,
as the cost of coal in that district
is prohibitive.
A number of oldtimers of the In
terior were met at Nome, promi
nent among them being Fred Har
rison, who is now United States at
torney for the Third division, and j
filling the office with credit to him
self and his party. He is very well!
thought of by the people of Nome,
among whom he is now quite an
oldtimer.
The Snake river harbor is prov-;
ing very popular among mariners
and has saved more than one ves
sel from disaster this season, Mr.
McDonald says. Additional work if '
being done this summer by the Gov- j
ernment.
Conditions are very unsettled on!

son Bay Company, are preparing to
risk an invasion of the field. Japan- j
ese traders already have secured a
firm footing. In fact, it is said, a
lot of Japanese money is now in
circulation along the coast, and
that and American money now form
the only mediums of exchange. The '
various issues of Russian currency j
have been relegated to the discard. ,
Tax collectors are about the only
remaining representatives of Russian
authority, and they are very numer
ous, several groups visiting the
coast settlements with provoking
regularity. One trader, who ar- j
rived at Nome while Mr. McDan- ;
aid was there, told of having been j
visited by several collectors, who
demanded and obtained from him •
several hundred dollars in the form
of taxes on his furs. A short time
later, another group called on him
and endeavored to repeat the oper- j
ation. He went behind his counter.'
as if to get the money demanded,
but instead of producing the coin,
leveled a gun on the intruders and
ordered them out of the place.
They beat a hasty retreat from the
settlement and the trader left soon j
afterward for Nome with his furs, j
Alex Smith, well known fur bu- j
er, was met at Nome, where he was
preparing to go to Siberia with a
Hudson Bay outfit.
Mining along the lower Yukon ap
pears to be on the decline, but all
the traders reported having had a1
good season. Marshal has dwindled
from a busy and rich mining camp i
to a sniping proposition and trad
ing pos:. Ruby has developed into
quite a trading center, with many
furs coming in from up and down
the river. There is also some min
ing in progress back of Ruby. New
pay is reported to have been found
on the old Mascot association on
Long creek, where Chan Walker.

ty at Galena, about 50 miles below
Ruby, and 18 miles back from the

from the shipment of 50 tons of
ore sent to the smelter, and will
continue operations.
Mr. McDonald will make his head
quarters in Nenana. making side
trips to nearby districts until about
the firs: of November, when he wil1
make a hurried trip to the States
