CONTRACT LABOR
Cannerymen are beginning to sit up
and take notice of public criticism, es
pecially since these arc being cement
ed into alleged restrictive laws in Al
aska. Cannerymen are to be commend
ed for putting their side before the
public and for their expressed desire
to correct some of the evils complain
ed of. In a recent “agreement” a
great many admirable “eliminations”
were decided upon, dealing with con
tract labor.
Possibly it is necessaiy to still em
ploy contract labor for canneries ow
ing to the claim that enougu labor can
not be secured in Alaska, but so long
as this is done there will always be a
cause of protest on t.ie part of Alas
kans.

Banbury [and Ogle
son.” Why should men who come from
the outside and get employment which
is denied Alaskans very often, be lim
ited from dealing with )c.ca lmerchanis
and others. Why not be allowed their
wages as they please. Are workmen
mere peons to be herded ,and told that
they must do or not do in order to
work for canneries Tnc Herald be
lieves that nearly all the labor needed
for canneries and a better class of
lat or, could be secured in Alaska at
the present time and the money thus
earned would go to pay taxes and. to
suppoit homes and famdies; schools j
and other industrial enterprises. Con
tract labor under the most favorable
conditions is vicious and un-American.
It sh. uld not be allowed.—Petersburg

The coast guard cutter Bear will
sail Monday from Seattle, and an
airplane will start from Seattle to
morrow to hunt for the missing avia
tors, missing the past two weeks. The
government, as usual, has been dila
tory in rushing men and vessels to
search for the missing men, who prob
ably have long since succumbed to
the elements.
The recent building boom is caus
ing many laborers in adjacent towns
to look longingly toward Seward. It
is highly probable that there are
enough men in town to handle the
work, without the importation of oth
ers, but labor invariably flocks from
dull centers to live ones, thereby
causing a surplus at the points aimed
for.
Seward has had no failures the
past winter and collections have been
unusually good, despite the depres
sion existing at other points in the
Division. Following the near panic
when railroad headquarters were re
moved from here, our citizens learned
to look to other means of support,
and have emerged from the period
of depression to what resembles a
small boom.
With Congressmen engaging in fist
fights at Washington, there may be
some hopes for the nation yet. We
thought all pep and initiative had
died out in Washington.

POORMAN CREEK IN
RUBY CAMP ACTIVE
POORMAN, April 8—The Poorman
section is again comin gto the front.
A vast amount of winter work has
been done in this vicinity during the
past winter and with the new pay
streak showing up on Timber creek,
one of the largest creeks in the dis
trict, there is much promise of a long
life camp.
The following shows some of the op
erations during the past winter:
On Flat creek ,Norton .Gallagher,
and Augusta have been prospecting,
and are now getting ready for summer
work.
Charles Johnson, with two men, has
been hoisting pay all winter, some of
which has gone as high as $5 to $6 a
pan.
Eddie McKelvie, Joe Matson and J.
Ward have probably the largest dump
in the camp. They are now getting
ready for summer work.
On Poorman creek, H. Willeby, W.
Ferry and Barney Cannon, are just
thru hoisting out their winter dump
and are now getting ready for sum
mer work.
Jack Shropshire and Truman Man
uel, with two men, have been hoisting
pay all winter on the Buggy, and have
a large dump out. They expect to work
a crew all summer as they have a
large body of pay.
Dennis Coyle is spending the winter
in the States, but will be in this com
ing summer and commence operations
again.
George Voder has just discovered a.
narrow but good, paystreak at the
mouth of Tenderfoot, right back of
Haarvei’s store building, which he will
be working on this summer.
Cn Solomon creek, Martin Weborls
and Mickey Dugan have taken out a
dump and are still hoisting.
R. Fulkerson, with two men have a
small dump, but will be ready to
hoist into the boxes when the frst
drop of water comes.
William Wicklund and Harry Jensen
are at the mouth of Solomon and are
ready to put on a crew as soon as the
water comes.
On Timber creek, Dick Stevenson
and Omar Quinn have been hoistnig
pay all winter. Stanley Coffin is work
ing for them and has helped in swell
ing the dump immensely.
One thousand feet below William
Bailey and Shorty Powers have just
completed a hole to bedrock, which
show’s a three foot body of pay dirt
averaging five cents to the pan.
One and one half miles below, Wm.
Ferry and Barney Cannon have very
good pay awaiting development.
Timber creek is a large creek and
an immense lot of prospecting has
been done here in the past by differ
ent parties without any success, but
these recent finds, w’hich are large
ly due to Jack Wolf’s persistence in
prospecting, will put it ii? the rank
of the leading producers of the camp,
as the development to date shows a
large body of pay.
