Ketchikan, Alaska- Wednesday April 23, 1919
CAPITAL IS NOT WANTED
Some of us may in all seriou ness want to
develope Alaska; and to that end are willing to
allow capital to come in and help us and give it
an even chance for its money. But there are also
others who, by implication at least, don’t want
to. The latter are simply sitting on the lid,so to
speak, and won’t let capital take a hand in the de
velopment of the territory Unfortunately,
those opposed are in the major! iy and without
their aid capital cannot even have a look in.
The majority in this case is labor which holds
the trump card and for all it is
worth—and then some Eight hours’ day at ex
horbitant wages and double time for any time
over the eight hours. Take the canneries here
abouts. Before a fish is put up,a cannery man
must invest thousands of dollar in stock and
supplies with the present labor condition and a
small catch his all is bound to vanish as thin air.
Will he take the chances and operate? not if he
is sane.
Really, sometimes it looks to us that labor is
unreasonable in the extreme, especially in en
terprises limitted hv time, like fisheries and pla
cer mining in the interior. The placer mining
seasons in the interior are sh< r on account of
the cold; but for another reason fishing seasons
are also short. In both th prises* if
labor holds up the operator . and the latter come
across a streak of hard luck, failure is innevita
ble. Consequently, capital wii not !-■■ est to face
the present labor conditio; ; nd ; ' e who would
follow capital and help to develops Alaska will
stay away with the result that always follows in
activity. Conclusively, labo.easonable in
its demands. It is all very wed . o harvest while
the sun shine; but we should •• o 'ho man who
makes a harvest possible a h;oy > for his money
Czar Burleson's defense of the advance in tele
phone rates does not jibe with hi , action regard
ing telegraph rates. In t - raised
operators’ wages 10 per cent, th- a raised rates
20 per cent. If a corporation had done that
while he was playing politics in Texas, he wbuld
have thrown a political fit. Of course everybody
knows that it costs more to operate the wires
under the government, but the remedy is not to
raise rates, but to hand the property back to the
companies which can ouerate more cheaply.
This is ifi keeping with the doings of the present
administration, which has been to raise wages
and reduce the quality of the service just to
please labor.
Some people say that Kaiser Bill will never
consent to be taken back to Belgium to be tried
for his many crimes, according to the plans a
greed upon by the allies. Fortunately, the hand
ot fate with the aid of the allies’ armies are
working to bring home to the criminals the true
significance of what they have trid to do to
others, and when they are ready for the trial,
they shall not ask leave of the kaiser or anyone
; else, but shall simply bring him in, proclaim the
verdict of guilty and try him afterwards.

According to reports the Huns wall not sign
| the peace terms. But they said that before and
they were glad to sign later. However in the
event they refuse, a little advance in the country
by the allied forces accompanied by a little des
truction of life and property, would soon have
the desired effect. The Huns are cowards by
nature and they won’t fight unless they have
holes in the ground. They only fight in the open
when women and old men are opponents.
Where is that Russian Baltic fleet that wras
ordered by Lenine only a few days ago to attack
the allies?
OUR POSITION IN RUSSIA
Who can blame the American troops in the
Archangel province of Russia for their reluct
ance to go to the front? They feel practically
marooned in an Arctic wilderness, fighting a
nainst tremendous odds and against a govern
ment upon which their own country has not de
clared war. They w'ere drafted into the army
for war against Germany with a well-defined and
widely proclaimed purpose, of which they heart
ily approved. They were given every proof that
: i that war they would be abundantly reinforced
1 would be supported by all the resources of
cue country. They have been sent inwoefully
i sufficient force to conduct a war which has not
been proclaimed—an informal war; for no for
mally or informally announced purpose. Never
theless our little Archangel army has fought va
liantly, while denied the reinforcements which it
sadly needs. It is in danger of extermination.
It is not afraid to fight, it has amply proved that
It balks only at an objectless fight, a fight which
it cannot win because there is not enough of it.
