Where Our Sympathies Lie.

good deal of buncOmbe is being aired in Washing
ton, partly by the representatives of the railroad
broherhoods and partly by the railroads. perhaps more
by the railroads Boiling down multiplicity OF words
one side wants all it get dares demand and the
other side refuses And both claim the sympathy of the
nation as a backing.
Both wrong. In this railroad controversy, the
sympathy of the nation is neither with the brother
hoods the railroads. except very secOndary Phi
marily it is with the American people whole the
people who be called upon to lose and sacrifice
suffer and if this threatened strike comes;
the great of people Who being not at all con-
cerned minority quarrel, expected to bear the
burden of it The sympathies of the American people
lie with themselves. 1t is they who must lose work
if a strike comes; they whose stores must be closed
when stocks exhausted and there more
shipments; they whose wives and children may per
kaps die for want of food.
The very injustice of the situation would be ludcrous
if it were not tragic And that is why the strike
must not occur. 1t must not be allowed to occur If
there is any means whatsoever Of preventing it.
Be thew railroad executives employees, the
who parayze the United States and throw the nation
into chaos and want to satisfy their ends, will not
profit thereby If strike does this time, and
especially if it should be prolonged. it will result in
great injury both organized capital and organized
labor 1t is safe predict it will also be the last strike
of national proportions.

Wilson and SuIIof
Are Winning Votes

FAIRBANKS: According TO adyices
received today from the New York
Times IN 4 SPECIAL wire to the News
Miner, the drift throughout the east IS
toward Wilson. although the States Of
New York, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
are still in the doubtful list. In wire
to the Citizen the Chicago Record-Her-
aid predicts the election Of Wilson.
There is much betting here, both on
the Presidential and the Delegate cleo
tions. The Democrats OF the First divi-
sion wired a thousand dollars this week
to bet that Sulzer would carry the First
division. The money was almost I'M

however, indicate that Sulzer viii carry
both the First and Third divisions. Sew

The action By the businessmen

regard to providing fire protection
is of importance to everyone re-
siding in the town. Itmeans that
we will soon have a volunteer fire
department and sufficient equip

of the town. II means that the
thousands Of dollars which have
been invested in local buildings
will be safeguarded during the
winter and that valuable stocks
will be given better protection than
is usually obtainable in towns so
new as Nenana. especially in Alas
