A strike of the double-loom weavers
the Riverside mills of the American
Woolen Company at Providence, r. l.,
following a strike OF the Weybosset
mills weavers some time ago, caused
the issuance of orders to close all the
mills of the company in Providence
and vicinity until further notice. The
general shutdown throws 5000 per-
sons out of work. The mills affected
by the orders are Providence Worsted,
Riverside, Weybossett and Manton
Mills. The strike at the Riverside and
Weybosset mills was caused by dis
satisfaction over the two-loom system.

The logic of the trade union has
been "one for all and all for one and
it has been responsible for many mis-
takes. The theory of cooperation has
been confined almost exclusively to
strikes. aud In which direction it has
accomplished the least good But we
are outgrowing some of the notions Of
our industrial childhood. Regarding
the right of every man to earn his
living as sacredly as we do our own,
we find in the labor agreement, with
it's provisions covering wages and con-
ditions of employment, with its plans
for the arbitration of all disputes and
with the manager and men pretty we'll
acquainted with each other, a prom
Using plan for the future welfare of the
employees, and a certain assurance that
all labor controversies will be settled
without trouble
But the sentiment is new one, en-
tirely different from what the major
ity of the unionists have heretofore ac-
cepted as sound doctrine. and its ac-
ceptance will be a question of educa-
ton for both employer and employe.
Each will have to sacrifice his preju-
dices in favor of industrial stability
and general fairness The labor or
sanization will have to understand

confidence in its ability to carry

And stood by his bench as he whitfield

And then in a shower Of shayings and

From halibut smack to a war frlgate.
And there's many a story that could

Of the fine flgureheads l chiseled of

On the dreary sands they crulabie to-

From Terra del Fuego to Baffin's Bay.
But my trade is gone, for the steamer

The plainest of plates to the water

With never a sign of a figurehead.

Where Labor Is strong.

Alton, H., in proportion to its size
is probably the strongest citadel of
organized labor in the country. Out OF
less than $500 voters $500 are trades
unionists. There are thirty-three
unions, and twenty-seven of these
were organized by one man who for
four years ago moved into the COM
munity from st. Louis. He is Joseph
Giles, printer, and an accredited or
ganizer of the American Federation OF
Labor.

Tomorrow is the day set apart by proclamation of President Roosevelt and Governor Brady as day of gener- al thanksgiving. It does seem that the people of Douglas have good reason to be thankful this year.
 During the year that is past many things have transpired that tend to make Douglas City a better place to live in. Streets have been improved, sewers have been put in, lights have been placed in the streets, better houses have been erected, the city. has under gone a general clean up, and above and better than all, splendid school house has been built and fitted with all mod ern conveniences, and our children may now have the opportunity of securing an education.
 A year ago the hearts of the people were filled with sadness because of the vacant places around the fireside, and the baby voices stilled forever.
 The year has brought a great change in Douglass change for the better. Let us all feel glad. and happy, and thankful.
 And now that we have so much to be thankful for, we can find no better time to begin to forget the little difficulties of the past year, and forgive those who have been so foolish as not to agree with us on some trivial matter. Begin all over again. Give each and every one of our neighbors credit for good inten- tions, and resolve that bitterness, nal ice and envy shall have no part in the life of the future. Let it be said of Douglas that there lives not man in the city who hates his fellow.

 The precinct of Douglas embraces all of Douglas Island, but the place designated in the order of appointment of the commissioner is Douglas.

This you are certainly entitled to, and the requirements of the law in that behalf must be fulfilled. con- strue your petition to mean, also, a complaint against Commissioner Irwin for his failure to reside at Douglas, and this is a just and fair complaint and one that requires action on my part. am advised by Commissioner Irwin, however, that he will immediate ly take up his residence at Douglas and continue to reside there so long as he remains in office. AS this will meet the desire of the petitioners, l take it this action will be satisfactory.
 I am, very respectfully,

DISTRICT OF ALASKA, ] EXECUTIVE OFFICE. 1

EXECUTIVE OFFICE. ]
 Our country has enjoyed a year of wonderful prosperity. Those who blow and till the earth have gathered abun- dant harvests; those who fashion, form and adapt the materials of the earth to our varied wants and uses, in factories, shops and studioes have been constant ly employed. The sailor and railer on ship and car have transported the good things of earth from cline to cline and we have had pleasure in great variety; when our neighbors were suddenly over whelmed by the bursting of Mt. Pelee our hearts were melted and there was an instant response in sympathy and materials to those who were stricken and crying for help. We rejoice that the President was saved from death at Pittsfeld. Although so far removed, we have been deeply interested in the strike of the coal miners of the East and are thankful that there is fair prospect of a just and amicable settle ment of differences.
 We, here in Alaska, can be thankful. Two steamships, the Portland and Jeanie, were in great peril in the ice drift, but they escaped and their pas sengers were landed in safety; and although many thousands of people have been coming and going from our shores during the season, there has been little injury or loss of life. The pros pector and miner have stronger hopes than ever. The fisherman sees the re- suits of his labors in great stores of food in cases and barrels ready for the worlds markets.
 Though we have not many husband men, those who have had faith to SOW have had the pleasure of reaping. We know that in the near future many will be added to the number of these. We shall rejoice when many thousands come here to make their homes and share these blessings with us.
 In accordance with our inherited cus- tom and the proclamation of the Presi- dent of the United States, I, John G. Brady, Governor of the District of Al aska, do hereby appoint
 THURSDAY, THE 27TH DAY OF Noy., 1902. as a day of solemn and public thanks giving to God for past blessings and of supplication for his continued kind ness and care over us as District and Nation.
 On the day designated let us assem- ble at our respective places of worship, and, with grateful praise and thanks giving, confess our responsibility to God, the Creator of all, and forget not to share our plenty with the poor, to comfort the sick, cheer the unfortunate and manifest charity toward all.
 Given under my hand and the great seal of the District of Alaska, at Sitka this 9th day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun dred two. JOHN G. BRADY. By the Governor:
