Editor Nome Nugget:
 :u order that the citizens of Nom, may be dislusioncd regarding the DO.
 sition taken hy the local I. w. w. anc
 the reason for the organizing of tn,
 Nome Trades Council, the following
 facts are set forth:
 With but few exceptions this camp
 has been a place free of labor troubles and the unions here have maintained order and protection for themselves by the adoption of the best union princi- pies and methods. Before the advent of the Troutmann faction of the L w w. last summer and the setting up of a So-callcd local branch. which. by the way. k not recognized by any union in any part of the world. the different un- ions in Nome retained order in their own ranks and were friendly with all other organizations
 The local l. w. W. having gained an advantage over a number of the mem bcrs of the Miners union in causing them to believe that it is a bona fidc branch in good standing, has intimidat- ed many of the business men in the rity into thinking that unless the I. w.. W. paper the Nome Industrial Work ar is patronizcd boycott will be in- stituted.
 Further than that it is fact that the management of the paper has made thc statement that the boycott k to be instituted unless the support is forthcoming It is ridiculous in the extremc for instead of having l,500 miners. as members of the Mine Work CTS union. as the I. W. w has so often boasted. there are at present but zoo. and since the doors of the | w. W. and the Miners union itself have been thrown open to the Chinese and the laps. more than two-thirds of that number are now arrayed against tho members who are willing to constitute the Mougole "brothcrs."
 Article l. Section 1-By-Laws of the Industrial Workers of the World:"No worllingman or woman shall be eX- ,luded from membership in local un- ions because of creed or color
 Section %, General Laws of the In- tcnational Typographical union; That the International Typographiral union does not recognize the Industrial Workers of the World as d labor orga- nization.
 Section {. Article l3-Marinc Cooks and Stewards: Tt shall further be the duty of each union man to uphold and advocate tho objects of labor orga- nizations to ratronizc union made goods. and in particular to shun all places where Chinese Japanese or seal labor is employed. and which.are an- tagonistic to tn" interests of organized labor"
 Article ?. section 1-Marinc Cooks and Stewards: "The only person eli gible to membership in this organiza- ton shall be persons eligible to citizcn- ship under tine laws of the United States
 There are but two unions in the city which do not belong to the Nome Trades council. The first is the Min CTS union and the second is the union of the carpenters. The Trades Coun- cil is friendly with the Miners union and merely waits for the time when the miners as a body see what the l. w. w. is doing to them, when they will be received. It is well known that as many as two-thirds of the miners can not stand for the Japs and Chinks, and they are determined to prevent bunk ing next to them on the claims and eating by their sides after working with them all day.
 If the miners will but look and see what danger the I. W. w. invites in being willing to admit the Chinks and Japs there is no doubt they will agree
