Refuse to Report to the Bureau
49,: of Labor Statistics Of. ~:
:.,. That State. =: =. i:
For No Reason: Than That the
Blanks are Adorned with
49,: ' Union Label. =

The. notorious Drew told us last fall
in his speech at the Commercial club
rooms, that the so called manufacture
ers' association was not opposed or
antagonistic: to organized labor, but
only to certain of it's methods.
Mr.. Drew's statements were not
borne out by the facts, neither in Du-
luth nor anywhere else; but exactly
the contrary, everyone knows.
Quite recently prominent members
of the association in Ohio have refused
to report to the Bureau of Labor sta
tistics of that state, because the union
label was on the blanks furnished by
the authorities.
The Bureau Of Labor is determined
to enforce the law to the letter, and
compel the refractory disciples Of Van
Cleace to- obey the law, label or no
label.
J. H. Webster, president and treas
urer Of the Variety Iron and Steel
Works Co., one Of Cleveland's largest
concerns, did emphatically refuse to
give the information requested by the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics, and his
only reason for such refusal was his
positive dislike for anything savoring
Of union labor. ..&. -
Thomas y. Patterson, special agent
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
representing M J. Ratchford, commits
sioner Of labor, a member of Local No.
10 of Cleveland, Ohio, secured the
necessary evidence for prosecution in
this matter. $. Commissioner. NJ J.
Ratchford Immediately: took the mat
ter up with the; attorney general and
arranged for legal representation to
fight the matter to the bitter end.
The outcome Of this case; will be
watched with interest by all friends
0 forganized labor, and the actions of
the commissioner of labor in this mat
ter is assurance that there is no favor
itism shown, by him in the administra-
| ton Of his office .- ~-.-.- p.

: Socialism, and Its'- Critics.

There rs an old saying but none the
less true one: That Tools rush in
where angels fear to tFead.' So it
happens very frequent1y with those
who aim to attack socialism For an
honest critic; >~one who really feels
.(after ;a*:study of the question) that
socialism is deficient; In it's funda-
mentals, the writer HAS the highest
respect; but for the person or Persons
who, without taking the trouble to
ascertain where we do stand-just
what our propositions are-will de-
liberately misrepresent our funda-
mentals-the writer must confess to a
feeling Of pity for the frame. of mind
that will: stoop SO w:as to- prefer
the lie in order to. make good the
point. This particularly applies to a
writer In your, issue Of august 9Th;
who says our aim is ::'the, ideal that
every: man. shall put into. the common
fund what he can, which would mean
that he chose and should take out Of
it whatever he wanted"
If the gentleman whom 4 thus quote
knew anything about q socialism, ana
It's critics he would know that this is
just the Kind Of argument that Pres
ident Roosevelt: and other fair minded
20 persons use against us but that
this is the exact contrary to our philo-

would < know that this was part of

1.-The issuance Of Injunction in labor
disputes is not based upon law. but
is species Of judicial legislation, ju-

the money power against the work

I'm all things in which workmen are

Brings Suit For rline Stock

Boston-An unusual mining case came up for hearing in the superior civil court when Martha Smith, of Seattle, presented a claim against Otis Sleeper, of Boston, and the Ready Bull lion Copper Company.
 In the bill filed Miss Smith stated that in 1903, together with Sleeper and a man named White, she located several mining claims in Alaska. It was agreed that each would have an equal interest.
 Later the Bullion company was or ganized for $3,OO0,00O. The mining claims were delivered for $2,0O0,0OC shares of stock. Instead of the third agreed upon, Miss Smith claims that only 100000 shares were given her. She says that Sleeper promised the re- mainder, but never delivered them. She believes Sleeper is about to trans fer the stock to some other name and seeks to enjoin Sleeper from doing so and to compel him to surrender what stock is due her.

RESClNDS MAIL CONTRACTS.
 ADVERTISES FOR NEW BIDS

Orders have been issued by the post office department abrogating the mail messenger contract in Alaska and the department has advertised for new bids. It is stated that the messengers refused to take mail into the interior in amounts in excess of the contract weight on any one trip and that dur ing this winter there has been large accumulation of mail at Valdez aggre- gating 13,OOO pounds.
 Department officials believe that un- der new contracts they can get more mail into the interior as the minimum of weight will be eliminated and car riers will be required to take as much as possible when road conditions are good. W. Jermane. - Seattle Times.

Strike on Valdez Creek

Twenty dollar pans at bedrock on Claim No. } adjoining Tammany bench on Valdez creek was the discovery by the men who have been running a tunnel through rim rock during the winter. A letter to William Grogg at Gulkana reached there about the time Pete Monahan and others arrived on their way to Valdez creek telling of this strike and Monahan wired it to the ProSpector.
 Doc Blalock and Mark Medaris ar rived in Valdez yesterday and gave further details of the strike as told by the letter. The substance of it was contained in the message. The miners who made it consider it one of the most remarkable ever made in a placer country. The claim belongs to the original discovery crowd, Pete Monahan, William Grogg, John Clark son, John Johnson, Jim Smith and Dan Kain.-Valdez Prospector.
