organized labor affiliated with the To-
peka Industrial Council, is working
over eight hours per day Except that
the overtime schedule of pay applies),
and not one of them who is not draw
ing more pay today for eight hours
than he formerly received for ten
hours This is the record IF organized
labor, not only n Topeka, but prac-
tically the country over.
Please understand that it is not the
object of this article to create trouble
or dissension, or any i'll feeling against
this council. on the contrary we
come TO you with the hand of good
fellowship. offering every assistance in
our power to the end that the "other
80 per cent of Santa Fe employees
may not be Disseminated against, but
that they may receive the same hu-
name treatment by employers as has
fallen to the four Brotherhoods, whose
cause was our cause.
Please remember that organization
brings respect from employers, and
today the most respected class of Ia
Dor on your great system is the organ
izations which have the intelligence
to look after their own interests.
In conclusion, let us state that if
you are really sincere in wishing to
secure the eight-hour day for the
men whom you represent, and be in
line with employees of many other rail-
ways in the country, notably the Rock
Island, whose shopmen only within the
past week have won their fight for
the eight-hour day, we stand ready to
aid you in every way possible. If you
will name the time and place our
committee will call upon you and dis
cuss the ways and means. The Ameri-

ganization to fit every craft, even to
the unskilled branch of labor, and if
we can arrange with you for a meet

not a local suitable for any craft en-
ployed in your shops or on the line,

for a national organizer representing
each of these crafts to be on hand to
assist in the organization

 AWAITING CORDOvA

"Cordova is sending more wealth to the United States than all the rest of Alaska put together" said Jack Dalton. Alaska pioneer and discovcrer of the Dalton trail, says the Times. Dalton first went north in 1888.
 Several new canneries have been biult this summer. The amount of copper ore shipped is enormous and tremendous new deposits of copper ore are being developed in the Cop per River Valley, tributary to Cor dova
 Another new and successful in- dustry is the canning of Alaska clans. A big plant was put up last year and was enlarged this year"
 Dalton has been in every part of Alaska and the British Yukon and believes that Cordova will be one Of the biggest cities in the north.

War Critics of French Says Allies WiII Keep Pressing
 the TeutonS
WINTER CAMPAIGN IS ON
Wedges of Victory on all the Fronts Are Being Driven Home by
 the Allies.

PARIS, Sept. 2S-Lieut-col Rous- set, the military critic, says that the operations of the coming winter campaign will differ from those of former winters.
 "without being in the secrets of God" he says. q think that can predict that the coming winter will not be one entirely of stagnation and waiting on all fronts No doubt the sledge hammer blows we intend to deal will be separated by greater intervals, but, notwithstanding that, we do not intend to remain merely in an expcctant attitude. Having everywhere our foe by the throat, we intond to allow him only as much breathing space as the circumstance es render inevitable"
 The situation, the critic says. is no longer what it was at the begin ming of winter campaigns. On all fronts, the Allies have driven in wedges of victory. In Picardy, the Anglo-French armies have establish ed indubitable ascendancy over the Germans, whose powerful counter attacks are continually repulsed and prove sterile in result.
 In Italy and Macedonia" says Rousset, "the situation is becoming more threatening for the Germans from day to day. At verdun, the Germans are ccding ground. In the Dobrudja, the victory of yon Mack ensen has already vanished into thin air after the latess success at Cayereso. In Translyvania, the Teu- tons have all they can do to stem the victorious forward sweep of the Roumanians, and in Galicia they are making desperate efforts to have what they still hold with the aid of the Turks, who, to help the Aus trlans, have had to sacrifice Armen- ia.
 The Allies, he goes on, are no longer playing for time. The produc- ton of armaments will certainly tend to increase during the coming months but the Allies are no longer obliged to mark time for it.
 For all these reasons" Col, Rous- set concludes, "it is unlikely that the approaching winter will see a total interruption of fighting, as was the case in former years"

CHECK FOR 4
 BIG SUM GIVEN
 TO PAY TAXES
Nearly Five Thousand Dollars Paid to City
 for Taxes by One
 Property Owner.

B. NJ. Bchrends, the largest single tax payer in the city of Juneau yes terday turned Q check for the amount of his taxes over to the City Treas urer. The check covered the taxes for the year on the B. M, Behrends Store, the B. M Behrends Bank the Post Office. Building, the Empire building, the Decker building, the old Decker building, the Alaska Au- to Supply Company Garage, the family residence on Fourth street, and other property in Juneau held by the allied Behrends' Companies. The tax was levied solely on real estate and personal property and amounted to $467C.
 old timers. commenting today, stated that not many years ago the entire tax roll of the city of Jul neau would not have produced that amount of money which is another evidence of the rapid growth of Ju- neau in the past few years. It also demonstrates the foresightcdness of those who believed in the future of Juneau and invested their money in real estate.
