AN INTERESTING
 ATHLETIC EVENT

ke chikan's athletically in- clined male population were treated to a pretty exhibition ct Red Mems Hall, Saturday ev- ening ill two wrestling bouts. They were between Lee and Re gan in the middle weight class, and Myers and Mesik, heavy weights. In the first event Lee easily bested his opponent se- curing two straight falls in ve- ry quick time. The big fellows were neither of them very fast but were so evenly matched, that neither of them was able 10 secure a fall in 64 minutes of wrestling. As both were bad ly winded, and the crowd satis- Hed with the bout, it was de-
 Jared a draw. After such a "oOd clean exhibition another event of a like nature is bound to draw a big crowd.

A pl-EsW STATEMENT

\ number or the businessmen of Ketchikan Go not seem to consider the late movement Of the fishermen of SOulheastern Alaska matter of very great importance but the fact is il is the most important move oi any body of working men in Alaska to date, and should re- ceiVe the unqualified endorse ment of every citizen and in habitant of Alaska. The de- mand of the Fishermen are reasonable, and their success means general prosperity for all including the aforesaid busl- ness men for thousands of dOl- lars may be expended among them that otherwise will not materiaIize. If the Fishermen do not gain their point there will be very little money ill cir. culation in Southeastern Alas ka, this fall.

The New England Fish Go. under the local management of Henry Wilkie has just com pleted the new addition to it's cold storage plant. The plant as it stands complete today is one of the largest of it's kind on the Pacific Coast eGa Ii stands at Ketchikan largely through the efforts of Mr. Will kie. When lhe smaller build ing was crowded to it's up most capacity last season and had to turn away fish it be- came evident to the local man. ager that some new measures were necessary and induced his company to go ahead with the needed improvements.
 The plant now has daily freezing capacity of 100000 pounds. It has a storage cap acity of five million pounds, i.e. two thousands, five hundred tons of fish can be stored all frozen in the cold rooms of this Alaska's Primier Cold Storage Plant.
 The ice making ability of the plant now reaches the 20 ton mark for a daily output. The ice for local city consumption lis mostly made in this plant.
 The Ammonia was turned in- ito the new part of the works .on Sunday, July 7th, at exactly one o'clock and careful inspect ion proved that the construct ing engineers had done their work well. There were no flows in the more than thir- teen miles of pipe and the countless jouts that were nee essary on the almost endless coils,
 Manager Wilke reports that everything is running to queens taste.
 The cost of the building ap- proXimates S50,000 in cold cash and has been about three months under construction.
 The man who planned the new addition for the company. was A. w. Sterrett, an expert refrigerating engineer in the employ of the New England people.
 A. w. Quist, of Seattle, was the contractor, and the man i'll immediate control of the work was L. R. Doutre, erecting en- gineer for the United lron Works of Seattle.

A CITIZENS CRITICISM

ketchikan, Alaska, July Sth.
 Ketchikan Miner,
 Dear Editor:-
 The Glorious Fourth ilas
 come and gone. We celebrated
 It here in ketchikan, some with
 more, some with less enthus-
 iasm. A bigger crowd than us-
 ual marked the festivities, and
 spent it's money for the most
 part in rioting and drunken
 ness. Some men think that
 they are having a "good timen
 when they become more or less l piclkled in booze and begin np-
 on the public street to make
 genuine fools of themselves.
 There are good times, and then
 again there are good times and
 q mans character, citizenship,
 ability and nearly everything else about him may be judged by the manner in which he get. his amusement. For the most part the crowd was quite and well behaved, but there was too much vulgarity and obscenity in public for decent citizens.
 There is one other criticism that ought to be put to our cit izens for them to think about, namely the mercenary spirit that seems more and more to mark our Fourth of July fes- tivities. The first question asked by any one who may ba requested to take part in the en tertainment of our home citi- zens and visiting friends is, show much is there in it?" un- less there are substantial prizes offered it is impossible to get
 participants iii the events. and moreover these prizes must be in thG form Of hard cash. No!h- ing is thought of the fact that q large committee is selected and expected to contribute its services gratis, but when T is suggested that the Ball Team, the Band, the Bremen or the Athletes in the field sports be asked to contribute their mite to the gaiety, they immediately confront you with the demand for cash, when they are quite as interested as anyone else in
 the welfare and prosperity of
 ketchikan. It would seem that there is a chance for improve ment here. Is it not possible
 for all classes, organizations, and individuals to unite IF every substantial way for the apbuilding of the First City o' Alaska.
 Yours Truly,
 l., I4nl G.I

COL. LOSES OHIO SUPPORT

Washington. July 5.-Several progress
sive Republican senators comforting over
the situation growing out of the presi-
dental nominations at Chicago and Bal
timore, have voiced the opinion that a
third party in their states was unnec-
esssry. Their several opinions are that
electors in sympathy with former Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be on the regular
Republican ticket.
None of the progressive senator's has
announced any intention of leaving the
regular Republican party.
Senator Works of California and SEN
ator Bristow of Kansas have told their
colleagues that the progressive element
was in control in their states, and that
there would be nothing to gain by join
ing in a third party movement. Senator
Poindexter of Washington said he be-
lieved that il would be unnecessary to
organize third party in his state.
The colonel has lost the support of
several of his strongest boomers.
Ohio third party men will do their
own progressive work at home without
the Roosevelt leadership and will sup
port Dillon.
The ex-president has lost his closest
political ally in Colorado, Stewart, and
Judge Ben Lindsey is having his hands
full starting the new organization.
But at Sycamore Hill the colonel had
a conference with George W. Perkins
and Frank A. Munsey, and declared in
no uncertain language that the fight
will be continued until November.

"Syndlcalisn."

In America the specter of syndicalism
first appeared in the Lawrence strike
The American syndicalists, the Indus.
trial Workers of the World, who direct
| ed the strike in Lawrence. have been
attracting more and more attention
since and have been trying to make syn
diealism a factor in American life.
American syndicalism should not be re-
garded as an importation from France.
OF course, American syndicalists have
been more or less in contact with French
syndiealists, but the movement has
grown up on American soil and can be
traced back to the Knights of Labor.
The latter had already formed a vague
idea of industrial organization which is
so actively propagated by the Industrial
Workers of the World. Craft unionism,
however, carried the day in America
after 1886, and achieved marked success
in the development of the American
Federation of Labor The idea OF indus
trial unionism, nevertheless, never died
out, and in recent years has been gain
ing ground under the influence of favor
able economic conditions. Finding sup
port among Socialist workingmen, the
idea of industrial unionism was COM
bined with the Socialist conception, and
theory resembling French syndicalism
in the most essential points was the
result. This theory was made the ba.
sis of the program adopted by the |.
w. w. in 1905.
The Industrial Workers of the World
differ, however. from the French syndi-
calists in their attitude toward the gen
eral strike. The former conceive the
social revolution not as stoppage from
work, but as a staying at work" Acr
cording to this idea, the workingmen
will one day declare the means of pro-
duction common property, but. instead
of leaving the factories, viii stay there
to continue production on Socialist
basis.
Syndicalism is primarily a working
class movement having for its end the
solution of the labor problem. But its
plans are so far-reaching and involve
such profound social changes that soc-
ETY. as whole is necessarily affected
What has, then, syndicslism to offer to
those classes of society which are not
occupied in manual labor Louis Le-
