M’BRIDE IS LIVE WIRE.
J. C. M’Bride, the newly elected
member of the Republican national
committee from Alaska, is proving
to be a live wire in the political
game, says the Seattle Alaska Dis
patch. For many years the office
of national committeeman from Al
aska has been catered to for "the
sole purpose of controlling patron
age. Now comes the new commit
teeman, declaring the first efforts
will be to elect the Alaska terri
torial and divisional tickets, support
of the national ticket in the North
west, and then, if the party is suc
cessful, political patronage to those
who are active in party work.
If Committeeman McBride is suc
cessful in an effort to bring har
mony, as wTell as national prom
inence to the Republican party in
Alaska, he will have accomplished
something. Heretofore the Repub
lican party has been scared with
factional strife. Elimination of fac
tional strife \{|fl mean a strong
front for national legislation for
Alaska. It appears this should be
more important than filling federal
offices in Alaska.
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS.
Industry generally, says a recent
bulletin of the American Mining
congress, will be interested in the
American plan of employment which
has been successfully established by
the Butte Associated Industries in
the building trades of Montana, un
der which union and non-union men
work on the same job. The plan
was adopted after months of fruit
less negotiations with the unions in
an endeavor to reach an agreement
embodying just and fair working
rules. The employers’ proposition
to arbitrate differences and to sta
bilize conditions through a perma
nent arbitration plan was rejected,
and since April 26 they have em
ployed union and non-union men im
partially, as individuals, and will re
fuse to deal with the building ti’ades
council or any affiliated unions. The
carpenters struck with other build
ing trades February 1, but became
convinced that the employers’ propo
sition to arbitrate and to change
ai’bitrary working rules calculated to
restrict production was fair, and
signed up and have since been at
work. The carpenters will not rec
ognize unions which reject the ar
bitration agreement, and work with
other craftsmen, regardless of affilia
tions, which has helped to make the
American plan successful. There
are more members in the carpenters’
union than in all the other building
trades unions combined, and the ac
tion of the carpenters has convinced
the public that the Associated In
dustries attitude is fair.
It is said the history of indus
trial disturbance in this country does
not relate a more resolute fight for
principle than that made by the
Butte Associated Industries. For six
months the organization maintained
a united front to right iniquitous
conditions imposed by a radical
slique claiming leadership of the
building trades crafts. All construc
tion work in Butte since the first
of the year has been under the i
American plan. Butte mechanics
have first call for work, but where,
because of union scruples, they re- j
fuse work, it is given to others, and •
today there are more non-union |
building mechanics in Butte than
union men.
The Associated Industries has
dealt with many miscellaneous un-!
ions outside the building trades!
group, and in every case where the !
craft remained on the job pending j
negotiations, an amicable adjustment!
was reached. Its object is not to j
crush organized labor, -but to keep \
industrial peace through conference. !
The I. W. W. attempt to forcibly
close the Butte mines was short
lived, due to the work of the As
sociated Industries.
After trying without success to
maintain industrial harmony through |
negotiation with organized labor,
many important Western cities have !
declared for the American plan of \
employment and are now operating
under the open shop, including Se
attle, Portland, Tacoma, Spokane,
Los Angeles, Salt Lake, Idaho Falls,;
Twin Falls, Denver, Minneapolis and j
Cincinnati. j
MEXICAN MUNITIONS.
Upon the report of an Italian j
munitions expert will depend the de '
cision of the question whether or j
not the Mexican government is to
manufacture its own implements of
war.
In case his report causes the mili
tary chiefs of the nation to decide
to purchase their munition; abroad,
the practice of employing buyers in
foreign countries will be discon
tinued and the purchases will be
made through th*e Mexican govern
ment’s regularly constituted com
mercial agents, according to the plan
of General Plutarco Elias Calles,
'secretary of war and marine, as
j reported by El Universal. Further
jinore, effort will be made to find,
i within the army itself, munitions
I experts who can be entrusted with
jthe task of judiciously placing the
'government’s orders abroad.
. “Ih Mexico there are all the raw
, materials necessary for the manu
jfacture of arms,” El Universal adds,
j “There is already on‘record a case
j where the carefully conducted manu
facture (of war material) is result
ing in notable economy to the coun
try; namely, in the construction of
airplane propellers. This work could
be extended successfully to the
manufacture of all our war ma
terials.”
Dr. George Bird Grinnell may be
and probably is absolutely correct
in saying that Alaskans are viewing
William T. Hornaday’s Alaska game
propaganda activities in too serious
a light. But at least, argues the
Juneau Empire, they have good ex
cuse. It was largely, if not en
tirely, due to his pernicious opposi
tion that the late Charles A. Sulzer,
while delegate from Alaska, was
unable to get a new game law en
acted by Congress. Governor Riggs
and Delegate Grigsby have encoun
tered the same opposition, and up
to the present time it has been too
strong to overcome. These things
are known, and until Alaskans have
been able to scotch the snake and
counteract his insidious influence
there seems to be little hope that
future efforts along this line will
have any better success than past
undertakings.
