DIGNITY OF AMERICAN LABOR
While the advancement of labor’s cause throughout
the Old World has been fraught with turmoil and often
fratricidal militancy that of America has been marked
by a series of progressions similar to laying stone upon
stone for permanent foundation. Today Labor emerges
wearing a new dignity and wielding more power in our
national life than any other element. It is in fact a rec
ognition of the almost finished edifice that promises to
endure as long as the accepted economic laws responsible
for the marvelous wealth of the United States. It has
been agreed by the captains of industry that a prosper
ous nation must have a prosperous labor, not merely suf
ficient to meet bodily comforts and necessities, but poss
essed of a surplus with which to acquire some of the lux
uries of life. ' , , 0 .
When this philosophy was voiced by the late Samuel
Gompers, the Grand Old Man of organized labor, it met
‘ a combined opposition of employers of large armies of
•labor and the general public; was heralded as a revolu
tionary fetish to be frowned upon as the forerunner of a
general assault upon the institutions of the country.
Only this week the announcement came from Wash
ington that it was generally agreed that there would be
no effort at wage reduction on the part of the employers
and Labor agreed not to launch upon new programs for
wage advancements, being content to consolidate their
position and wind up negotiations now pending.
How far Labor would have advanced under a polit-!
ical banner as advocated by the adherents of direct ac
tion is mutable, but in a country where rich and poor
have the same privileges in political councils direct ac
tion under ^distinctive partisan banners cannot hope to
prevail. It is by “boring from fvithin,” to u§e the more j
modern slogan of organized labor, that these happy re
sults have been achieved. Labor has made its voice heard
and its power felt in the two dominant political parties
of the nation. The outgrowth has been the recognition of
Labor’s rights to a share in the prosperity of the nation.
In fact the prosperity is the product of well-paid labor,
the great distributing medium of wealth.
The business man who opposes a good wage might
as well announce that he had rather trade with a dollar
a day man than a five dollar a day man. If he has the
goods the latter demands, he will receive a larger share
cf the five than he would of the dollar.
The fight for recognition of these principles has
been a long and often hard and tragic one, but upon
the foundation laid by such great organizations as the
American Fedration of Labor the cleavage that once
marked the breach between capital and labor has been
dosed, and Labor stands forth reunited in the fabric of
the nation possessed of a dignity equal to that of the
most exalted capitalist.
A GROWING NEW INDUSTRY
Alaska laid and packed fresh eggs are rapidly gain
ing a grip on the markets along the railroad, and at the
rate of progress a few more years will see them com
peting in price with those shipped from the states. What
was more or less of an experiment in poultry and egg
production has grown to a point where home poultry
farms are establishing their distinctive brands and sell
ing at prices slightly above those paid for fresh laid
eggs elsewhere.
One of the greatest aids to the poultryman will be
the conserving of by-products of the canneries, which
possess that most vital element, vitamine A, while waste
is serving for fertilizer with which to grow grain and
vegetables with which to feed poultry.
President Hoover refused to appoint a Florida man
to office because “investigation by secret service oper
atives showed he was unfit.” Jehosephat! Just think,
if this thing becomes popular in our own diggins!
It is claimed that Helen of Troy was 60 years of age
when Paris fell in love with her. Which shows that bobb
ed hair, lipsticks, and seemore skirts were the fashion
when Hector Achiles, Odysseus and the rest of the shieks
were pups.

SIXTEEN MEMBERS OF CREW
OF 21 GO TO BOTTOM
WITH VESSEL
LONDON, Dec., 6, (/P)—A tem
pest in which the wind at times
blew 100 miles an hour swept
Britain last night and most of
today and before it had spent its
full force it had caused damage
on land and sea, the crowning
tragedy being the foundering of
the steamship Francis Duncan,
off of Land’s End
The vessel, of 2,384 tons,
was trying to fight its way
against the storm when a wave
tossed it high in the air where
she turned over. A few seconds
later she bobbed up like a cork
but lying on its side. In a min
ute or two it disappeared.
Sixteen of the 21 crew went
down with her; five clung to bits
of wreckage until picked up later
and landed at Farimouth.
Torrential rains accompanied
the gale, which increased the i
widespread flood and damage
in Wales. All shipping in the En
glish Channel was halted and
the London-Paris air service was
cancelled for the day.
FIRE MEET TONIGHT
The regular monthly business
meeting of the Seward Volunteer
Fire Department, will be held to

ed on the steamer Starr, last nite.
He departs for his Vadlez head
quarters on the S. S. Yukon.
The copy man on the advertis
ing desk got his dope mixed up t
and when the advertisement ap- I
peared it read something like
this: “For that girlish complexion
chew ivory soap, its toasted."
Four dredges were operated in
the Kuskokwim district during a
portion of the season, two on Ganes
creek, one on Yankee and the
fourth on Little creek. The Flume !
