JOHN MORRISON DEAD


 in the history of our community occurred on the last day of Sep tember on Chichagoff Island when John Morrison, a former pupil of the Sitka Training School, was shot by the accident al discharge of a gun. On the morning of that day Morrison in company with H. Keen and l.. Bridgman started out deer hunting. Near three o'clock in the afternoon the party were starting down the mountain with Morrison in the lead, when Bridgman, who was next, stumbled and fell. his rifle strik- ing theEground and discharging it's bullet into Morrison. The wounded man was made as com fortable as possible and Keen started for the power house of the Chichagoff mines more than two hours distant-to se- cure help. Arriving there, he telephoned to the mine and a party was immediately formed and started for the scene of the accident. In the meantime Bridgman did all he could for Morrison but the wound was fatal and Morrison died at 7 IS P. M. When the party arrived sometime later, Bridgman was almost beside himself.
 He had taken off his rain coat and under coat to protect Morrison. The evening was cold and wet and but for the arrival of the party from the mine he might himself have perished.
 The body of Morrison was brought to Sitka on the gasoline boat Elk on Oct. 2 and coro- ner's jury was at once empaneled by Judge Flower. The evidence given showed that the unfortun- ate incident was purely accident al. On Monday, October 3 the

LEBLANC WINS THRILLING
AIR CONTEST GOING At
MILE A MINUTE CLIP

Leblanc, using his compass to
draw his course, d!sregarded the
clouds until the speed with which
he swung through them threaten
ed to affect the planes of his ma
chine. Without eeasing his fight
Leblanc shifted his planes up
ward, spiraling through the mist.
At 5000 feet he broke out of the
clouds, finding easier air currents
and clearer sailing.
The other aviators were less
daring. They flew close to earth,
lodging obstacles and twisting In
the treacherous air currents that
tilted the machines dangerously.
Sensational Landing.
LeGaneux near Joinville, drove
into the teeth of a heavy wind.
The gale warped the aeroplane
back and forth until the aviator
glided to earth in fear of his life.
Later he assembled again, making
a swift flight to Nancy, where his
spectacular landing brought the
occupants of the stands to their
feet. AT an altitude of more than
1000 feet the man-bird shut off
his engine, dropping to the par
ade ground and by marvellous
manipulation of his planes, land

FIRST WORLD STRIKE
LOOMS AHEAD.
BY Peter Power.

Whether the first great inter-
national strike and the conse-
quent paralysis of commerce
largely on oceans and water
ways in all countries will oc-
cur in the near future is grave
problem that will come up for
consideration at the worlds con-
ference of transport workers in
Copenhagen, Denmark, which be-
gins Aug. %.
The seafaring men are prepar-
ing to make worldwide demands
for recognition of their organiza-
lions, a minimum wage, regula-
tion of hours on duty, and the
adjustment of many minor griev-
ances that the men complain of
at all ports as condemning them
to lead the lives of slaves.
Delegates from the English
speaking nations will take the
lead in discussing the general
strike subject. j. Havelock Will
son, M. P, who is president of
the British Seamen's Federation,
is said to be the chief advocate
of the plan to have the water
transport workers in all countries
make uniform demands at the
same time, and the delegates
from Australia, United States and
Canada are counted to stand with
him.
Wilson was in this country last
fall consulting the labor officials
and assisting to rally the seamen
on strike against the United
States Steel Corporation on the
great lakes. While in America
Wilson was nominated for par
Lament, but refused to abandon
or postpone his mission and re-
turn home to fight for election.
But he was one of the 'laborites
who entered the. new parliament

THORN IN
THE ROSE.
If the labor people were elat&d
by the announcement that the
Buck stove concern at st. Louis
had made peace with the unions
they are, on the other hand, Just
as indignant at the report in
working class circles that Daniel
Davenport, counsel of the Ameri-
can Anti-Boycott association, will
be especially employed by Atty.
Gen. Wickersham to prosecute the
contempt cases against Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison when they
come up for hearing before the
United States supreme court the
middle of November.
The Buck concern withdrew
from the case and the Anti-Boy-
colt association, and this condi=
ton would leave Davenport with
little influence and considerable
financial loss if he continued the
fight. But President Taft COM
PEELED congress to defeat the
Hughes amendment to the civil
sundry bill, which would have
made unions immune from prose-
cution under the Sherman anti
trust act, and by so doing Taft
virtually offers a reward of $780,
600 for the prosecution of unions
and their members. 1t is the
partnership that is being entered
into between the Taft administra-
tion and the open shop advocates
that is rousing bitter. Indignation
among the working people
throughout the country.
NUMBERS
MAY BE DOUBLED.
Look out for still another big
strike in the clothing trade. In
New York 80 local unions of
mems garment makers voted to
walk out for the nine-hour day.
This would mean an additional
10000 to $4,000 workers on the
sidewalks of New York, or add
ed to the cloakmakers, bakers and
some minor trades total of
10000 on strike. The clothing
workers all along the line are
a desperate fight to wipe
out sweating, child labor, over
