SEWARD PAPER TAKES
 SLAM AT ANCHORAGE

In discussing the conditions at Anchorage the Seward Gateway says:
 Tt Is estimated that the cargoes which have returned after an effort to land them at Anchorage and the cargo yet to come aggregate close to five thousand tons. It Is stated that the supply of staples in the new railroad town will be nearly sufi- clent for the winter. and a shortage will only be felt in some articles. A vast amount of potatoes had to be returned, but this is regarded as o blessing to the home growers, who have thus been provided @ market The whole affair Is to be regretted, as 1t is a sad blow to the new rail road town. showing as t does that 1t can never be a terminal in fact of the government railroad for any import ant length of time each year.

LUMBER AND BRICK PLANTS TO
CLOSE DOWN TODAY

Heads of 10 lumber companies and
II brick companies today announced
they were closing up their plants. In
the 1O4 yards affected 10000 men
will be laid off in "a hours. they say.
Indirectly, 100000 more men will be
forced out of employment if the ma
terial blOckage Of the big bosses is
successful.
1t is a sympathetic lockout. It is
an attempt to starve the carpenters
into submission.
In 1900 the contractors forced the

carpenters to sign an agreement
abolishing the sympathetic strike.
The carpenters have lived up to the
agreement. Now comes the sympa-
thetic lockout, in apparent fragrant
violation of the agreement
The lockout hits after the car
penters have won a victory with their
strike. The strike cost the carpenters
$35O,OOO in lost wages, but it result
ed in 1902 independent contractors
signing their agreement. More men
have had work the past two months
than in average normal times.
'Is it fair to ask us to arbitrate
now when we have nearly all of our
men back at work for the wages and
conditions we demanded?" says a
statement issued by the carpenters.
Eve offered arbitration before the
strike was called. The employers
would not accept it. Then we went
ahead and won the strike.
Our men were working the way
they want to work though the Car

accept our agreement" said a union

makers, backed by the banks, have
allied for a war on Unionism."
Carpenter leaders simply laughed
at the statement in trust papers that
John Metz, president of Carpenters
District Council, had offered the Car
penter Contractors assn to return
the men to work for 65 cents an hour
if the c. c. assn would strike out

nucleus around which the organiza-
ton will be built.
Representatives of all civic bodies
interested in public welfare which
have no party affiliations or political
aims and whose interests are those
of municipal ownership will be in

Necessity of organization was
urged by Aid. Kennedy. "The public
utilityfcrowd of Chicago has a won
derful organization which never fails
to back strongly the interests Of cap
ital," declared Kennedy. 1--WE must
! organize perfectly to fight them.
"The money bosses have their al
'dermen, city officials, legislators,
judges and congressman. Whenever
anything touches their pocketboOk
there is always some one present to
uphold their interests.
THE automatic phone deal gives
us an instance. Nearly every alder
man in the city has been approached
by persons claiming they are auto
matte phone stockholders and resi-
dents of his ward. They appeIed for
a vote against forfeiture. This shows
how their organization is perfected.
THE public utilities problem is a
big one. It is a question of how long
the people are going to pay stock and
bondhOldeTs interest and heavy sal
aries to figureheads before they are
going to run things for themselves.
Let's loosen the stranglehoId on. Chi
