DISBARRED
No sensible person having business before a court,
would employ an attorney who had been prohibited from
practising.
Dan Sutherland, by his tactics at Washington, has
disbarred himself from any effective effort for the people
of Alaska who have employed him. Dan states in his
speeches that he is at outs with Secretary Hoover who
controls the fisheries of Alaska.
Why pay a man ten thousand dollars a year without
hope of result ?
The fisheries are bjf far the most important industry
of the Territory.
FORD’S FIVE DAY WEEK
It is announced that a five-day week henceforth is to
be the standard for workers in Henry Ford’s factories.
The statement from Ford headquarters, takes the pre
caution to make it plain that this does not necessarily
mean six days’ pay for five days’ work. Eight hours will
remain the standard day’s work, without overtime.
This radical change in working conditions is found
ed upon increased efficiency in machinery and the de
velopment of the scheme of quantity production, which
has been brought to such perfection in the numerous Ford
plants. Mr. Ford himself says: “It is hoped that all work
ers will repay the extra day of leisure with effort war
ranting their being granted this extra emolument.”
It is questionable whether any other industry in the
country is so thoroughly organized and equipped and has
so completely mastered the difficulties encountered in
mass production as the Ford plants. Many other indus
tries wTould be seriously crippled if compelled to produce
its output on a five-day basis. At certain seasonal periods
these concerns must operate overtime.
While Mr. Ford does not appear to have raised the
w^age issue in his industrial “reform,” it can not be denied
that he has aroused the intense interest among skilled
mechanics and other workmen with respect to the num
ber of hours of labor in the week. Can workmen, even
when adequately paid and contented, produce as much
of a given commodity in five days as they can in five and
a half or six days? And, again, how long would it be af
ter the establishment generally throughout the country
of a five-day week, until the demand would arise for a six
day pay for labor performed on the new basis?
;, THE ARMY WIDE AWAKE
Whispers of disarmament conferences that do not
materialize are still heard on both sides of the Atlantic,
but the army of the United States, small though it be,
conducts itself with an eye to possibilities.
When the world war ended the instruments of death
developed during that struggle were thought to be the
very last word in effective warfare. Among the machines
that struck terror to the hearts of the enemy was the
tank, which figured so successfully during the last few
months of the war. The United States army last week
conducted experiments which tend to show that this one
time powerful weapon would be utterly valueless in the
next war. Armored tanks during the late war were so
nearly invulnerable that their execution in action was ef
fective. Experts now have demonstrated in experiments
that mines and artillery as used today can stop this dread
ed weapon, and, when properly used, completely demolish
it. Improved shells and explosives have done the work.
The experimental work of the army, based upon the
supposition that war again may come, is helping to main
tain its fighting personnel at a high pitch. This should be
the purpose of an army, and its directing heads are to be
congratulated upon being alert and anxious to have it all
times ready for whatever emergency may arise. The
country would be better satisfied if the directing head of
the navy were similarly imbued.
Yet even an efficiency expert may squeeze a tube of
tooth paste in the middle instead of at the end.
INDOOR BULL LIMES
WILL SHOT TONIGHT
HT ATHLETIC CLUO
At 7:30 p. m. the Gym will be open
to indoor baseball-for the male mem
1 bers and prospective members of
the Seward Athletic Club. All former
members of last years training are
looked for, to participate in a gen
eral workout, with the possibility of
a scrub game being staged before the
evening is over.
The program committee has been
busily engaged, scheduling hours and
periods that will be given over to
the various departments, each day
j and evening of the week; the aim
of the organization being to utilize
every minute for some branch of
athletic sport, and distribute the
practice periods according to the
necessities or merits of each game
indulged in. Tho a tentative outline
will not be pubished until tomorrow,
it can be announced here that all
Tuesday nights, from 7 o’clock on,
are assigned to the W. A. C. for what
ever disposition that organization
may wish to make of them, and
Wednesday night at eight o”clock are
to be used by the S. A. C. Basket
ball squad. Additional time will be
given to each.
FOREST FIRE IN HOPE
After ten days fire fighting in the
Hope-Sunrise vicinity, near the new
ly constructed road, by use of port
able pumps of the forestry depart
ment, the blaze was finally extin
guished but not before some 50 acres
had been burned over.
According to forest ranger Brady,
it is difficult at this time to estimate
the amount of damage. Eight for
estry men were employed fighting
the fire and some of the Bureau of
Public Roads department.
The rain, which fell a few days
ago, aided materially as the fire was
a deep one, that is to say, it was
difficult to combat and was pro
longed considerably on account of
the roots of the trees burning and the
little moisture in the ground. This
made the 13th forest fire in this
district of the forest this year, it
was stated.

ard Oil Company, arrived in port from
the South early yesterday morning i
