The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-09-22

whether we will or not, our work Is not fascinating. Especially in the harder lines when the sweat begins to respond to the effort of manual exertion, it is as often drudgery as not, and it is the drudgery that kills. The eight hour day helps to make it less drudgery and in doing so makes it better for everyone.
 The eight hour day from the em- ployers point of view will be fought as too costly But it is a remark able thing that employers finally discover that they can stand it better than they believed possible. They discover that the employee slackens up in his work after the eight hours, and it is not so prolific in profit as the longer day seemed.
 In no place can this be seen more clearly than in Nome. When the union sought shorter hours under ground, prior to the passage of the law, the eight hour day was opposed by some Operators They got their scabs all right, and took out their dump and they cut, while employing strike breakers, quite swath. They were the socially ambitious. One man joined so many orders he hadn't room on his coat for the badges. He kept a team of racing dogs and he swaggered through the community using scabs, and went broke so that he was glad and hap py when he could get job himself and that at the eight hour day that he affected to despise. He isn't cutting much of shine now. May be he still pays dues to two or three lodges, but he does it out of wages made working for someone else al eight hours a day, and he's glad o1 | it.
 On the other hand we observe that those operators who employed | their men eight hours underground are still doing business. They are still in the operating class, and can still pay their men without any trouble and by bank check that is not dishonored when it is turned into the bank
 We don't know how that is. We will not offer an explanation. It is not our immediate concern. It i: stated as a fact which is undeni able and very signicant.
 There is not a man living or { woman for that matter would no rather work for a shorter than {
 longer day. It is true when frs

Mems and GOSSIP
From Radio Camp
Mother, With Aid of Family Bible, Obtains Release of
Seventeen-Y Year Old Son From
The Guard

Although not a member OF the Dis
trict militia, a frail little woman has
been present in the mobilization camp
every day since the citizen-soldiery
took up its abode there. Like the SOL
diers. she has heavy coat of tan
from frequent marches across the un-
shaded and sun-scorched fields.
Yesterday she carried heavier bur-
den tina nthe marching soldiers with
rifles on their shoulders. Her burden
consisted of heavy family Bible.
whose worn leather cover attested Its
age. Around the Bible she had wound
two book straps. so as to more easily
carry the heavy book.
She made what she hopes Is her last
trip to the mobilization camp yester-
prove to the stern. unflinching officers
that her son. Harry Addison Rand, is
only seventeen years and ten months
old and should not be sent to the
border.
The Bible proved this to the sat.sfac-
ton OF the officers. and Private Rand,
who Is a nephew Of Colonel Rand, IT,.
s. A., was not mustered I'm with Com
pany q, In which he enlisted because
he was proven to be under eighteen.
He will be kept In camp with his
company until II leaves for the border,
however and then discharged and sent
home because of his minority. Mrs.
Rand smiled for the first time In ten
days. after receiving assurances to
that effect at the mobilization camp.

Army Inspectors Look
Over Militia Equipment

The uniforms, arms and equipment of
the men of the First Separate Bat
talon were thoroughly inspected by
Col A. w. Brewster and Major w.
Z. Jackson, both of the Inspector Cen
erals Office. u. s. A.. late yesterday
afternoon.
The men were required to lay out
all their equipment, on rubber ponchos
with which they have been provided,
IN the company streets. The soldiers
stood behind their belongings while the
inspectors examined them thoroughly
as to the uniforms they were wearing
and the articles of clothing. tooth
brushes, combs and hair brushes they
were required to possess.
Many of the men were found to be
totany lacking in the uniform equip
inent, leggins, regulation shoes. hats
and other necessary articles Others
had failed to provide themselves with
the toilet articles required to be in their
outfits. These latter were ordered to
procure them Immediately.
The purpose of the inspection was to
make an estimate on the total amount
OF equipment which would have to be
issued to the men before they could
leave for the border.
