Douglas Island news., 1911-07-12

blew seven blasts Company No. of Douglas went down on the double quick. There should be some signal agreed upon by the fire departments of the two towns whereby the Douglas companies should not be called on uu- less really needed. Treadwell had plenty of meu and plenty of hose and water to handle the fire themselves and the seven blasts of the whistle should never have been blown, as that alarm always calls the Douglas department to Treadwell. The Treadwell officials feel grateful for the help offered, even if not needed. The damage was slight.
 The company has a large crewiof men working at the big dam above the Bull lion mine.

 The Douglas baseball team and a bunch of fans went up to Haines last week "after the bacon" When they re- turned a most careful inspection failed to reveal even the least bit of grease on their fingers. The soldiers gave them wallopiug, but they came home happy. The score was 2to O, aud perhaps the tightest game ever played in Southeast ern Alaska. When the returning Georgia pulled up tt the city dock, the crowd stood on the hurricane dock, yelling over and over again, "We chal- lenge the winner-r-r.r."
 All the men in this community of sporty turn of mind took in the boxing bout at Natatortum hall Saturday night. A preliminary bout between Shepard and Uren for three rounds, was full of fire. Then Chambers and Olson came on for ten rounds. The two men were about the same weight, and were both in good condition. They struggled hard for an advantage, but in a decent, gentlemanly manner, each with a smile on his face. There was nothing brutal, no deluge of blood, only once a scratch on Chambers face showed the claret. At first one and then the other gained a temporary ad- vantage, they were cheered, but that was all. There was no roughness, no profanity. At the end of the contest Cham bers was justly declared winner by Referee Mccormick.

Bonus For Coal Miners.

For their work during the month of
September last the mine workers in
the anthracite region of Pennsylvania
received an increase of per cent on
the rate of wages fixed by the anthra-
cite strike commission of 1902. The
increase is applied also to the October
payroll.
This bonus is in accord with the COM
missions decision that, in addition to
the general advance of 10 per cent in
wages, there should be further in
crease Of 1 per cent for every advance
of cents above $3.50 in the average
tidewater price Of the domestic sizes
of coal. AS the average price was
$4.84 in September, this entities the
mine workers to per cent more pay
for the month. This applies to ali
classes Of employees.

hospital last Saturday morning after an
illness of several weeks. Death was
due to blood poisoning. The funeral
services were held from the Catholic
church Monday morning and the body
taken back to st. Paul for burial. Mrs
HILBERT was the wife of j. B. HILBERT,
secretary of the machinists's union, and
resided at 1902 Baker. She was a
woman of wide acquaintance and very
prominent in union and fraternaI cir
cles. She took a large part in the forma-
ton of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the ma
chinists and was its first president. She
remained active in it's councils up to the
time of her fatal illness. Her death was
a shock to her friends and relatives who
had hoped until the end tat she might
recover. The Journal extends its deep
sympathy to the bereaved husband.

HOUSING WORKERS.
Plan of the Massachusetts, Home
stead Commission,

Plan OF the Massachusetts Home
stead Commission.
Massachusetts has taken the second
step in housing reform that begins
at the very bottom. The homestead
commission, created by the last legls-
lature, has been appointed by Cover
nor Foss and has begun the collection
of the body of material upon which it
will base its Recommendation for the
granting of state aid to workmen In
establishing homes in the country.
Through q permanent commission its
present task is the drafting Of bills in
some way applying the money or the
credit of the state to the establishment
Of homesteads for workmen in the
suburbs of cities and towns. The
scope of the present investigation is
to be wide. Belgian, German, Eng
fish, Australian and the fragmentary
American experience is to be studied.
The creation Of the commission fol-
lowed six years or more of effort.
Indeed, plan after plan has been pre-
pared for the consideration of the leg
islature, but every time the result has
been negative. None Of the individ
uals or groups interested have seemed
able to acquire sufficiently broad in
formation to agree upon practicable
recommendation. Consequently there
was established this commission, rep
resenting many points of view and
having facilities for extended investi-
cation. 1t was made permanent, with
the assumption In the legislature and
elsewhere that Massachusetts would
surely some time, somehow, help work
men in acquiring homes of their own
adjacent to the cities where they work.
Many Of the hackers Of the project
have hoped that 1t would work out in
such way that the homesteads would
be large enough 50 that the families
under the expert direction furnished
by the state could always raise a por
ton Of their own food and when wages
stopped manage to live In fair comfort
from the products of their own land.
Insurance to protect the family until
the title to the homestead Is clear also
occupies its place In the preliminary
plans. An important question which
has already arisen Is whether or not,
through the agency os the commission
the workman whose labor the city does
not really need can be put to work on
the farm where he Is often badly
wanted.-Survey.

New 1T. U. Arbitration Plan,

The new arbitration plan of the In
ternational Typographical union is a
departure from the old one. 1t calls
for a four man board in local disputes,
with a fifth man as umpire in case of
disagreement. The plan, however, is
tentative, pending a trial between now
and the signing Of the new agreement,
which is to cover a five year period.
IL it should not work out as expected

ers, and President Lynch will en-

One on Roosevelt.
From the Boston Advertiser.

When recently in New York dinner
was given to Oscar Straus, in honor of
his distinguished career as secretary oI
commerce and labor and ambassador to
Turkey, former President Roosevelt was
present and naturally he was asked to
say a few words in the after dinner
speaking.
Believe me, gentlemen" he said
when 1 called Mr.. Straus to my cabi-
net, I was considering no questions OF
religion or race or station. I was con-
sidering his fitness for the office To
which / had elected him. Neither as
German nor as Jew was Mr.. Straus
called to my cabinet-but simply as the
man most fitted for the position.
The next speaker was Jacob II. Schiff
who is a bit absent minded and deaf
and when he slowly began he said:
MY friends, Mr. Roosevelt wrote and
asked me whom | considered the best
Jew for the position"

A Journal subscriber suggests the
following prayer as appropriate for this
Thanksgiving: almighty God, creator
of all good, we rejoice and give thanks
to Thee this Thanksgiving day. We thank
Three for Thy bountiful blessings that
Thou hast sown broadcast upon the earth
and also within the earth. Oh, God, we
realize and are conscious of the fact that
Thou didst intend that all Thy subjects
here below should partake of the boun-
tiful blessings of the earth. Let us, Oh
God, appeal to Thy Majesty on high,
speak to Thy subjects here below
through Thy wireless system; make
them realize that they are wage slaves
to system instituted by money
changers no less evil spirited than those
of Bible times. Oh, God, help them to
see their duty as citizens, serving as
slaves with capitalist yokes bearing
hard upon their necks; help them to
realize that the time is at hand to re-
sist at every turn of the tide that Thou
art ever ready and willing to give aid;
that Thou didst hearken to the prayers
of Washington in times of trouble; that
the masses of today are as much entitled
to liberation as were Washington's peo-
pie. We thank Thee, Oh God, for
the progress of the masses along intel
lectual lines. Grant, Oh God, that this
may continue at pace that will arrest
the oncoming storm, the causes of which
are arising not so far ahead. May Thy
blessings rest upon us, Oh God. Amen"
