GOVERNMENTS OWN FOUR
 FIFTHS WORLDS RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, Nov. F. - Govern ment ownership of railroads as a rem edy for high finance, low wages, and high rates, was brought forward in the discussion of railway physical valua- tion at the twenty-ffth annual con- ventiOn of the National Association of Railway Commissioners at Washing ton, by Clifford Thorne of the Iowa commission. Private ownership of American railroads" he said, lis cost ing us more than four hundred mill ion dollars a year. The Northwestern railroads are today asking for a five per cent. increase in freight rates, amounting to approximately forty mill ion dollars annually. This percent age applied to all railroads would to- tai about one hundred million dollars.
 If it were possible to purchase the outstanding securities at market prices or at par, and issue per cent. bonds to get the money with which to do it, We would save enough money yearly to allow all this increase asked by the Eastern roads, and to extend the same advance to all the other rail roads, and then double that amount again, putting three times as much as they are asking for into better prop erty, and then have one hundred mill ion dollars to distribute in wages to labor every year. We could do this and not raise freight rates one penny
 More than four-fifths of the civilized nations of the world own and operate their railroads"

The Juneau Democratic Club at It's second meeting held in the Malony building completed it's organization by the adoption of a constitution and by laws and by electing a president and members of the board of control.
 It was one of the most successful DO litical gatherings ever held in Juneau The large room was filled to overflow ing and many were compelled tC stand in the hall while some gathered in an adjoining room connected by an open door. There wasn't a dull min ute. Every proposition was thrashed out thoroughly The constitution and bylaws were adopted by section and not until each subject was we'll ventil lated.
 The question of dues aroused con siderable discussion. It was finally de cided that there would be no financial obligation required for membership in the organization. All one has to do is to declare his allegiance to the princi ples of democracy and sign the roll agreeing to be governed by the consti tuition and bylaws. Funds for the maintenance of the club were pledged at the first meeting of the Organiza tion.
 The board of control will secure per manent quarters and the next meeting which will be the evening of the sec ond Tuesday in December next will probably be held in the home that will be chosen.
 Immediate steps will be made to get in touch with Democratic leaders thoughout the Territory with the idea in view of encouraging the organiza- tion of similar clubs in every precinct and settlement of Alaska. There is no doubt but militant Democracy in tends attempting to elect the next del egate to Congress.

AOre Pay, Less Hours
 For Cooks and Walters

Juneau almost went hungry today. That is, those who depend upon the restaurants and cafes for their daily sustenance, were at the point of miss ing a few meals. owing to a difference of opinion between the members of the Cooks and Walters Union and the em- ploying caterers of the city.
 Last night the union held a meeting and drew up resolutions to the effect that they had been working 12 hours a day, which they considered too much, and wanted the hours reduced to ten. They presented their demands 10 the bosses this morning, who at first were disinclined to grant the re duced hours and increased pay; but the men were firm and threatened to walk out if the concessions were not made.
 The men wanted a scale of wages.

 RALEIGH, N.

 Ordered to disperse by Dean Gran ford, six hundred boys paraded Dur hams streets and stoned the Duke home. Miss Duke came out and said :
 Everybody in this house is for foot ball"
 The boys cheered and called for B. M. Duke. When he appeared he said {:
 "I am not unfavorable to football, but I don't run the college"
 He has given a million dollars for running the college, however. The boys left, held a mass meeting and de clared they would enter no field of athletics until football, sixteen years outlawed, is restored.

INVOKE CONGRESS TO
 INVESTIGATE STRIKE


 SEATTLE, Nov. IS. - A resolution was yesterday introduced in the con vention of the A. F. of l.. by delegates John Mitchell and Joseph D. Cannon, invoking the Federation to demand Congressional investigation of the strike in the Michigan copper mines. The resolution was adopted.

 We find" he said, that the largest corporation engaged in the copper in- dustry in Michigan was organized in 1870 with capital stock of $2,5OO 900, with shares at $25, of which the pur- chase price was SIP, and with $1,25O,- 900 as it's actual investment.
 And the dividends from this $1 ,OOO,- 900 actual investment declared by tt . corporation in the 42 years of it's ex- istence were $121 100000! With $75,- OOO,OOO revenue from dividends, near ly $200.O00,OOO in net earnings in 42 years from an investment of mil lion!"
 And they refuse the good offices of the department of labor in endeavor- ing to reach fair settlement of the difficultiesl"
 Upon the floor of the A. F. of l.. convention today, Samuel Gompers, the venerable head of the organiza- tiOn, denounced the Industrial Workers of the World as frivolous, worthless and unworthy of consideration"

GASTINEAU TEAM
 WILL HAVE DINNER


 Fine business. Am much pleased. Give boys best dinner at my expense. %
 The above cablegram from Pres. B. l.. Thane, of the Alaska-Gastineau Mining company. who is now in San Francisco, was received by Earle c. Jameson yesterday and signifies that the Gastineau football team is to have the big feed as a complimentary recog- milton of their faithful work and vic tory from Pres. Thane, who is him. self an enthusiastic fan.
 The big dinner will probably be giv- en next Friday evening although as yet no definite date has been fixed for the event. It is certain to be a very enjoyable affair.
 Just before leaving for California. Pres. Thane asked Mir Jameson to keep him informed about the Gastin- eau teams work and after the close of Sundays remarkable victory of T to 0, Mir. Jameson sent him a cable gram announcing the results and re ceiyed the reply which means there is a good time coming.
 Next Game Thanksgiving.
 The next game between the opposing teams of last Sunday will be played on the Juneau grounds on Thanksgiv- ing Day. Coach Perkins will not allow the home team to go stale for want of practice in the meantime, and it is certainty that Treadwell will strength en some in the interim. The Thanks giving game may be expected to be even more interesting than the last Sundays game While the Juneau team outclassed the Islanders in weight and team work. the Treadwen lads must be given credit for the fighting spirit. They played a strong losing game from the start and with a little more weight in spots would have ma terially changed the results.
