ARE NEEDED iN CHAMBER
Some of the hotel men of the city
evidently do not appreciate the efforts
of the local Chamber to have them
attend the weekly luncheons. It is
true that a majority of the hotel men
are members of the chamber and are
regular contributors.
The Chamber, however, takes the
stand that the hotel proprietors of the
city, by meeting hundreds and thou
sands of people each month, are more
competent to give advice upon mat
ters arising at each meeting, and it
is for this purpose, and not because
they believe they are not helping sup
port the chamber, that they ask them
to come. Their business brings them
into contact with more people than
any other business, and they are
therefore more interested in keeping
the tap turned on and the stream run
ning.
Not only the hotel keepers, but ev
ery citizen of Seward is directly af
fected by the labors of the chamber.
Business does not come to him who
waits, but to him who gets out and
goes after it. The prosperity or the
misfortunes of a town affect all, and
all are equally interested, or should
be interested, in the growth of a city
or community.
Seward is on the edge of a larger
era of prosperity than it has ever be
fore known. Prosperity, like any oth
er successful conclusion, requires ef
fort;—unceasing, untiring labor.
Anchorage is called a “lucky,” town
by her neighbors, and is accused of
having an official pull; but really the
foundation for the success of Anchor
age, as is the case with any growing
town, is caused by the enterprise of
her citizens. She decides what she
want, goes after, and gets it. We can
do the same here in Seward.
Opportunity knocks; but we do not
have to follow her example.
A PEOPLE GONE MAD
( Valdez Miner)
There is certainly something radi
cally wrong with the world; a pervert
ed sense of values prevails when two
pugs can draw a crowd of one hun
dred thousand people and at exorbi
tant admission fees; when a pugilist
can draw down a quarter of a million
dollars for an hour’s exhibition. The
best in his class? Yes, perhaps, but
that does not entitle him to any such
emolument as Dempsey got for his ap
pearance at Shelby. For an hour or
perhaps a little more, a mob of men
get a little kick out of two men ham-!
mering each other, and the affair is
over. No one out of the entire crowd
has gained anything that will improve
him mentally, morally or physically,
and they depart, in most cases poorer
in all these attributes than they came.
Did you ,ever hear of a great educat
or, a great preacher, a great musician
drawing down a quarter of a million
dollars for an hour’s work? No! The
great educator, the 'great preahcer,
and the great musician would give in
return something of lasting value to
their auditors. If these men who gave
$20, $50, and as has been the case,
$200, for a seat at a prize ring were
asked to contribute even one-half that
sum for a series of instructive lec
tures, or to advance the cause of
Christianity, or for a series of con
certs, ninety-five percent of them
would refuse with scorn, yet they will
cheerfully contribute their money to
make a man wealthy whose worth to
the world is not equal to that of the
lowest laborer. No such reward goes
to the man who raises the finest
horse or cow or pig, or who raises the
finest crop; the champion miner, the
champion machinist does not draw
audiences hundreds of miles to con
tribute hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to view their performance. Why?
Their exhibit would be of some value
to those who witnessed it; the world
is better because he has lived and
done, but this is not true of the prize
fighter. He furnishes a short period
of excitement, not particularly bene
ficial to anyone, and if his compensa
tion was fixed on a basis of value giv
en there would be fewer prize fight
ers and a corresponding increase of!
laborers.

PORTLAND, July 25—Establish
ment of personnel relations in indus
try between employer and employee
as a means of eliminating controver
sies was advocated in a report of the
committee on personnel research pre
sented today at the convention of the
National Federation of Business and
Professional Women’s Clubs.
Presentation of employment records
and of labor turnover to give an un
derstanding of labor conditions on a
scientific basis to Miss Mercia Hoag
land, of Indianapolis, chairman of the
committee, who gave the report.
"When we know we have labor turn
over we will have an insight into so
cial conditions and will be able to set
tle problems in an orderly manner
rather than on controversial lines,”
she said.
“Our plan contemplates bookkeep
ing regarding persons in the same man
ner as records are kept of materials.
This idea is comparatively new. It was
tried out during the war. Handled in
the propper manner, personnel admin
istration has produced a benefit to
both employers and employe. We are
asking that our clubs in each com
munity interest employers in this sys
tem.”
