Ketchikan- Alaska, Saturday April 26, 1919
THAT DISAGREEABLI SUBJECT
The stand taken by the H e: o. Representa
tives at Juneau as shown in ' j - .itch, in re
gard to the disagreeable incident which put
Mayor Petty in such a bad li jht; A the right
stand and should be followed up until all the men
involved are punished. That ne sage not only
contained a threat politically to the Senators in;
the event they failed to enact that eight-hour
fool law. but a prize in the event they did and a
treasonable act in the threat to work for the
failure of the Victory Loan. In other words it
embodied a threat, a prize ard an ; . treason.
Either one of which would iiu by utting those
men behind the bars for a number of years. No
wonder the legislators are lip in arms and in
turn threaten to prosecute the parties involved.
Of course we are not acquab red with all our
lawmakers, but we are not guei .-'ne when we say
that neither threats nor prize.- can way Senator
Heckman nor Representative Haves. If it is
their conviction that a thing is vv ng- neither
our Mayor or local Unions, or i combination of
them can make them forget their duty to the
entire people of the territory.
In yesterday’s issue, Mayor Per y attempted
to put himself right, but acc mg : our opinion
he failed miserably. He claim thro a the sign
ing of the message to the chairman of the senate
he merely meant to testify that what it contain
ed was the “sentiment of the Unions and not
his own.” If such was his aim, he should have
followed it up withthe fling o complaints
against both Unions for the threat, offer of
bribe and act of treason conn,: ed t ere in, and
prosecute them. Instead o( u. med quite
satisfied with his action r Heckman
made him see the error of - n0 expla
nation can do him any good - ' •-our. His
only way of escape the cont< pc a cry Amer
ican is to apologize in a public state: ent and re
sign the office to which he pr red himself so ut
terly disqualified. His action r>r be followed
by Councilman Nixon, who r imably the
instigator of the disgraceful e say they
should resign because their usefulness as public
officials ended with the signing of that message.
Now, the part the local Unions played in the
disgraceful affair, need not have caused any sur
prise to anyone, because when in order to gain a
point you hear union men say that they’ll make
this and that man join the union because they
differ in their opinion, we can expect most any
thing from the unions. They mean to use the
Bolshevik methods.
Labor Unions have reached a stage now that
they constitute themselves a sort of government
And government not by the consent of the gov
erned but by a few dictators of walking dele
gates who have the faculty to arrogate to them
selves the power to enforce their will. There are
two effective ways to meet this condition. One is |
for Congress to make every kind of unions or
organization illegal and provide severe punish
ment for every infraction of the law; and the
other is for every employer of labor to refuse to
employ union labor.
Candidly, we have reached a state that the mo
ment a labor union is organized in a community,
from that moment the people’s liberty disappear,
These unions seem to work in a mysterious way, 1
and from what we have gathered, plotting and
scheming in order to carry a point, is their stock
in trade, an example of which was displayed at
our last municipal election’ the result of which is
a disgrace to our community.
Having seen the foul work done by the Huns
on the French and Belgian homes in the war
zone, Hiss Anne Morgan cannot be blamed for
excluding them from her Paris home. Really, the
Huns will never know how much they are looked j
down upon until they go abroad.
The squarehead Hun is a funny beast. He is
said to object to soldiering at the peace rate of
pay since lire war exeperience. There is no use
of talking, the average Hun is lost without a
kaiser.
It looks as if their might be danger of a con
gestion of airplanes on the Atlantic when they •
all get off on their trial flights.
i he peace conference could not have satisfied
i he demand of Japan without conceding that;
a Hottentot or a German is the equal of a white
man or a free American negro. But the real diffi
culty is that, while we are ready to agree that
the Japanese are equal with us, they are not like
us. The wholerace question is one of dissimi
larity, not inequality.—Oregonian.
Illiterate Russia seems to be pretty well Red,
says Turner’s weekly.
