RIGHTS OF STRIKERS.
Court Decision Apparently Upholds
System of Establishing.

In discussing the reciprocal rights of
employer and employee, Justice McLaugh-
lin of the New York appellate court said:
ut can not be seriously questioned that
every workman has the right, in the first
instance, to say for whom and with whom
he viii work. This right is given to every
person of legal age who is competent to
act An employer has the absolute right
to say whom he will employ. and the en-
ploye has the right to say by whom he
will work The right is reciprocal, and
once that right is destroyed personal lib
erty is destroyed and chaos reignS. And
If one has the right, acting in his own in
dividual capacity, he does not lose it when
acting with others clothed with an equal
right. so that employers may combine
and say that they will not employ per-
sons who are members of a labor organ
ization and laborers may combine and say
they will not work for employees who en-

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible rna1ady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of It driven ont This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.

ed with several cuts of views at Nome CITY
and on the beach where the method of
mining is clearly shown. All information
obtainable regarding sailing dates from
Seattle and Tacoma, through rates, etc. is
given in this book and the public cautioned
to go to the agents of the n. p. Ry., who
are supplied with diagrams of the Alaska
steamers, and arrange in advance for their
accommodations rather than to put off this
very important business until they reach

there will be very considerable passenger

laudable move on the part of the
