and down the country preaching patriotism and loyalty among his fellow workers, and urging them to join the army.
 Few men have been more bitter in their denunciation of the action of the Clyde strikers, but even Illicit has been able to see "the other side" of the question.
 Prom the point of view of the men in the trenches" said Illicit today, "this strike was a crime little less, perhaps more terrible than murder. Viewed from the standpoint of the na- ton, no worse calamity could befall us, not even German defeat. But We should not be led too far on the path of condemnation.
 1t should be remembered that these men had been for twenty months working at full pitch day in and day out. Long hours and over time have been the rule and not the exception. Body and brain alike have been fatigued.
 "Weariness due to physical strain temper due to the grayness and mo- notony of their lives made them fit subjects for the promptings of re- volt. At all the workers there has been the natural friction due tC stricter discipline and more rigid ! form of organization"

brought out the underlying causes of the strike. The charge has been free ly made that German influences, in- cluding German money, were respon- sible. This is hotIy denied, not only by the men involved but the labor leaders generally
 1t is much to the credit of organized labor in this country, however, that the strikers have been roundly de- nOunced by the responsible heads of the labor movement
 Even those labor leaders who are ayowej pacifsts, like George Lans- bury, have condemned them.

 It is our own flesh and blood in the trenches, and at what ever cost, we who remain at home must do nothing to hinder them"
 Lansbury ascribes the troubles on the Clyde chiefly to lack of sympathy between employers and worEmen, simi lar to that prevailing in the South Wales coalfelds.
 One of the most radical, as well as most troublesome, labor leaders-be- fore the war-was Ben Illicit, of the Transport workers Union, who in the last few months has been going up

ENGLISH EXPECT MORE
 TROUBLES ON THE CLYDE
By ED L. KEEN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 LONDON. June I2. - (By MaiD- The labor troubles on che Clyde are over-for the moment.
 That there will be further strikes in this big munitions making district is not only feared, it is expected.
 Opinion in England today is divided as to the real reason why some 5000 workmen at the most critical period of the war, dowued tools in defiance of the government and despite the pat riotic appeals of their own labor union; but there are few who will dis pute the assertion that the situation was sadly mishandled by the authori- ties.
 In the first place the fact that a strike was on was concealed until the last possible moment
 Then, instead of acting with vigor under the acts of Parliament which forbid strikes in munitions factories on any ground whatever, and prompt ly arresting the offenders, the govern ment compromised by merely deport- ing the ring-leaders to another dis trict.
 That these men were not given a public trial is resented as much by workmen generally as by thir associ- ates.
 Such a trial would doubtless have

Alaska like many other western places has labored under the erroneous opinion that gamblers and drinkers are more generous than others This opinion has been born by the fact that where there gambling and drink ing money passes more freely but this is false guide As matter of fact gamblers and drinkers are as rule more selfish than the others man gambes because he wants to get money easy and man who spends his money on drink often not able to give money where it could do some good When man is aboring under the influence of booze money loses it's value and is not generosity which causes him to blow himself. Drink or gamble if you want to but don't fool yourself into believing that it is generosity that makes you do it. It is not.

hearing of former Patrolman J. w.

Although Frank Cole, chairman
of the civil service board, pep
ped" the meeting along as fast as
he could, only about half of the
evidence had been given at 10:45
o'clock, and the hearing was con-
tinue until 1880 o'clock to-
night.
The prosecution, conducted by
City Attorney Harmon and his
assistant, Frank Carnahan, used
Mrs. Mabel Thompson and Mrs.
Alice Stanley as its chief wit
nesses.
Women Make Charges.
Both women claimed that on
no less than seven occasions Off
Ger Cochran had made advances
to them or had helped them
drink a sociable drink from a
little can of beer"
Mrs. Thompson, who, it is
claimed, was forced to move
from 1881 Jefferson avenue to

complaints registered by Cochran,
