THEY ARE WORRIED
(Ketchikan News)
“Juneau is upset. The people are
worried and are otherwise gloomy, es
pecially the businessmen who seem to
have been stunned by the report of
the intended action of the Department
of the Interior in ordering the remo
val of the Land Office headquarters
for the Territory from Juneau to An
chorage.”
Thus spoke a man just in from Ju
neau yesterday. And to add to the
dejected look of the people, there
comes the report that the Alaska
Road Commission office will be trans
ferred to Anchorage, acocrding to an
prder issued by Col. J. C. Gotwals,
head of the bureau.
After this, should the people of the
Third Division take it into their
heads that they want the Capital re
moved what will become of Juneau? j
Tell us, pray; No wonder the people ;
of Juneau appear down in the mouth
as the informant said.
However, so far as we are concern
ed, if we could help Juneau to get,
hold and possess everything of im
portance in Alaska we would do so.
Not bebcause they helped us to drive
away the Forestry Department head
quarters from Ketchikan to Juneau.
Nor bcause they have been for ever
so long trying to get the U. S. Light
house Service headquarters away from
us. No, not for all that, but because
we would rather help a neighbor than 1
injure him.
FOREIGN SHIPS NOT ABOVE AM
ERICAN LAWS
Suppose American were to engage
in the business of smuggling goods in
to the United Kingdom, employing in
such service ships flying the Ameri
can flag to lie just outside the three
mile limit from important British ports
with tenders for use in slipping around
the British customs authorities.
Can any one immagine the Ameri
can government standing behind such
a business, falling back upon “Inter
national law” as against the right ol
the British Government to proceed
against such craft, because, forsooth,
their violation of British law was ac
complished under the American flag?
The British Government and the
British press do not appear to most
Americans in a very favorable light in
their insistence upon the right of fore
ign shipping to violate the laws of the
United States. This observation ap
plies to the insistence of British and
other European vessels upon their
right to bring outlawed intoxicants in
to American ports not only to their
own profit but to the injury of compe
titive American shipping because of
the disposition of many travelers to
patronize “wet” ships.
Foreign vessels using the ports of
the United States to their own profit
are not above the laws of this coun
try. If they object to American laivs
let them stay beyond their jurisdic
tion. There will be plenty of Ameri
can ships to carry the trade thus neg
lected.—Cordova Times.
WOBBLIES "TRANSFER STRIKE
TO THE JOB.”
When the lumber companies of the
Pacific Northwest recently refused to
take back “Wobblies” who went on
strike in April in an attempt to tie
up the industry to free "political pris
oners” held in federal prisons, they
acted in self-defense. Now the Wob
blies, admitting that their effort failed
announce that the strike has been
transferred to the job. In other words,
the fight Is where it was before, for
it always has been the policy of the
I. W. W. to strike ‘‘on the job,” and
some of the methods they have em
ployed are responsible for the passage
of “criminal syndicalism” laws in var
ious states of the West. A relatively
few men quit work in response to the
call of the Wobbly leaders, for the
reason that comparatively few of the
men employed were members of the
organization or in sympathy with its
well-known aims. That they should ex
pect to be taken back in view of their
habitual attitude toward industry and
their attempts to paralyze the logging
and lumber business throughout the
Northwest, is evidenced of a large
cheek.
Iif we understand the object of the
trip of President Harding to Alaska it
is to be shown. It is about time to un
tie the hands of Alaska that have been
bound by the red tape of bureaucracy
It is time for the inauguration of a
I new policy toward that domain to the
end that its magnificent resources
may be exploited and given the prom
inence they deserve.

The reason they call them runa
