POCAHONTAs BALL
 WAS A BIG EVENT


 The ball given Saturday night by the Daughters of Pocahontas. was an unqualified success socially and financially An unusual large at tendance tripod to the merry music and gaiety prevailed throughout the evening.
 The hall was prettily decorated in white and cream and the lodge col ors, Royal purple May baskets of flowers were placed in windows and corners. The ladies are indebt- ed to Doc Walker for the beauti- full flowers used.
 An added attraction was the fountain given by MT. Foord and placed in the hall, and is deserving vote of thanks to that gentleman. A new feature was the supper which was served "a la cafateria" everybody forming in line and help ing themselves at the bountifulIy spread tables, after which the dance continued merrily into the wee small hours.

WHAT CONGRESS OUGHT TO DO
(Continued from page 1.)

together will increase our genera prosperity immensely.
 There should be no difference re garding the ultimate result The old saying that "the Lord helps him best who helps himself" is particularly applicable to this pres ent crisis and does certainly illus trate the attitude of our Canadian brethern, who are making the situ- ation at Prince Rupert as attractive as possible for those with fish to sell. If we, Americans, had the Canadian system of remedyine such emergencies, the situation would be improved very speedily, for we would have an order in Council passed, becoming effective immediately, and the problem would be solved without further delay. As it is, We are obliged to look to Congress, which involves the GUS tomary delays, explanations, argu- ments, etc, taking a great deal of time, with our neighbors across the way reaping the benefits while We hold the bag in the meantime.
 It is to be hoped that later ad- vices will bring us the news that Congress has finally come to thor ough understanding of the needs of Alaska in this respect, and has de- cided to look at the situation thru American eyes; with the best good of American interests at heart.
 In the light of the present min ing developments in this locality. which is not moving as fast as the mineral showings of this vicinity deserve, we must look to the fish business for the immediate future, and, while l am not pessimist, and while I firmly believe in the ulti- mate future of Ketchikan and Southeastern Alaska generally, I venture to predict that unless the fish situation is bettered along the lines indicated, within reasonable time, that We shall feel the injury severely.

SUSTAINS A SEVERE STRAIN.
 It is stated with regret that Mrs. Shuck, who chaperoned the girls and boys on their picnic last Saturday, sustained a badly sprained ankle shortly after their arrival at the picnic grounds, which had to be endured until the return home late in the afternoon without attention. Mrs. Shuck has suffered considerably since, but it is hoped that under the care of Dr. B.sL. Myers her re- covery may be speedy.
 This accident comes at very in- opportune time, as Mrs Shuck is training her physical culture class es for an entertainment to be giv- en under the auspices of the Ly- ceum on the 18th inst.

MRS. KING BACK
 FROM EXTENDED TOUR


 Mrs. A. E. King, who left here fourteen months ago for a visit to her old home at Rockford, H., where she remained until last November, has been touring California and Honolulu since that time. In the latter place where five weeks were spent, Mrs. King saw Miss Harriet Rossiter, who, is teaching school there. Quite frequently Miss Rossi- ter spoke of her loneliness for her Ketchikan friends and a longing to be back here.
 Mrs. King expects to remain in Ketchikan during the summer months only.

THE MINING WORLD
 OF KETCHIKAN

It was reported few davs aa0 that the Gastineau people were about to enter the Ketchikan min ing precinct. The fumor was trac- ed and was found to be accurate. The company is said to have taken bond on group of some twenty claims adjoining the Sea Level mine. and that they were now-or would soon be engaged in taking out 20 tons of ore to be taken at their plant at Juneau to ascertain the real value of the ore. If the value that is claimed for the ore found to be correct, the claims shall be worked extensively this summer.

counsel in carrying on industrial con-
tests.
More than 20 years ago federal
courts began to issue such restraining
orders and injunctions with great fire.
quency. Since equity courts have juris-
dlctlon only over controversies involv
ing property or property rights, the only
seeming justification for the issuance of
these restraining orders is the theory that
employers right to do business includes
property right in the labor of en-
ployes necessary to carry on the busi-
ness profitably.
"They assume that property and prop
erty rights are infinitely more important
than human beings or human rights, and
demand that these shall be subordinated
to profits and uninterrupted production
or transportation.
"It has no bearing upon this argu-
ment to stigmatize wage earners wrong
fully as lawless and doers of violence
When workers violate law or commit
crimes, there is adequate remedy at law.
No judge has right to issue an in
junction forbidding commission of crime
in advance-neither has an equity court
the right to try criminal cases.
= "1njunctions have been issued that set
aside rights guaranteed workers and all
citizens of the states and the United
States both by statutory and constitu-
tional law. Restraining orders and tenn
porary injunctions were drawn by law
yers in the pay of employers, presented
to equity judges and often signed with
out even being read, pending, of course,
future hearing. But between the time
when they were issued and the future
hearing they constituted an order of the
court, violation of which could be pun
ished as contempt of court and penalized
by fines or imprisonment.
"The terminology used in these edicts
was such as to create prejudice against
the purposes and activities of the work.
ers by designating them by epithets that
carried with them the insinuation of
lawlessness and malicious purposes.
"The use of the writ of injunction in
industrial disputes was so often in con-
travention of law and legal justice and
subversive to the regular institutions of
justice and government that it was fit
tingly designated as government by in
junction. It secured to employers i'm
munity and special privilege and denied
workers rights and opportunities. All
of this was accomplished under grise of
superficial legality in manner that was
outwardly respectable and sanctioned by
institutions of justice.
Thus, like many another beneficient
institution, the writ of injunction, which
was intended to serve the best interests
of the people, became an instrument of
injustice and tyranny"

COMPENSATION BILL
is PASSED BY HOUSE

Washington-Wo Workmen's compensa-
ton Tor federal employees was approved
by the house by maj ority of 2S6 to g.
Two negative votes were cast, by Con-
gressmen Cannon of Illinois and Dies
OF Texas. Congressman Stephens of
Mississippi was paired against the bill
Mr.. Cannon said the proposed law was
pension and not compensation, because
it did not provide for the employe con-
tributing toward the compensation fund
When his attention was called to his own
state, which makes no such provision,
he insisted that contributions should be
made by employees.
This measure, introduced by Con-
gresham McGillicuddy, provides for
compensation to all injured federal en-
'ployes at the rate of two-thirds the
wages lost during disability, with a
maximum of $66.67 month and not
less than $33.33 unless the employe is
paid less than $3333, in which case he
shall receive full pay
In case of death the widow receives
35 per cent of the monthly pay and 10
per cent additional for each dependent
child under 1S, same to continue until
death or remarriage.
In the senate a compensation bill, in
troduced by Senator Sutherland, has
been favored by the judiciary commit
tee, which reported that "a government
should be willing to deal with those who
do its work as generously as it compels
private employers to deal with those
who do their work"
This legislation was first urged by
the American Federation of Labor and
a bill covering this question was intro
duced eight years ago at the request Of
organized labor.
The present federal compensation law
applies to about one fourth of the 4OO,-
600 federal employees and covers only
those engaged in hazardous occupations.
For an accident happening in an occu-
patton deemed to be non-hazardous
there is no way of obtaining relief ex-
cept by special act of congress. In the
present congress alone nearly 800 bills
have been presented for relief.

"WATCHFUL WAITING"
Is Urged Before States Adopt Mini
mum Wage Laws.

New York.-The National Civic Fed
erations' Minimum Wage Commission, in
announcing tonight the result of its study
for months past, asserted that it Seems
for the present the part of wisdom for
all the states not having minimum wage
laws to watch those which have enacted
such statutes for a reasonable period
before adopting similar laws"
The commission will continue its in
quiry for another year. 1t indorsed a
suggestion that a joint investigation of
the question be conducted by the United
States Department of Labor and Com
merce A statement said:
"The results of the first years expert
mentation with minimum wage deter
limitations in this country, according to
the records submitted by employers,
show that no jeopardizng burden, has
as yet been thrown upon business. They
further give evidence of some substan-
tial gains in wage rates and earnings,
The results also show a decrease in the
number of women employed"

CONFERENCE FAILS.

New York.-The attitude of the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
Protective Association in conferences
with representatives of 10000 locked
out employees, has resulted in the aban-
donment of peace negotiations. The
workers demand union recognition and
voice in the rates for piece work.
The manufacturers refuse and also de-
clined all offers of arbitration.
President GompersQ presided at the
conference, which continued for six
days. The A. F. of L. executive was
acceptable to the manufacturers, who
declined to consider other citizens, who
were named for this position. President
Gompers insisted that the garment
workers right to organize be recog-
nzed, and declared that even if the
workers were starved into submission
this would settle nothing.
A citizens committee, composed of
score of well-known New Workers, is
assisting the strikers. Last Wednesday
this committee published large adver-
tisements in local papers charging that
more than 100000 human beings are
facing hunger in New York City to-
day." and asks that sentiment for ar
bitration be created. The committee says
the manufacturers broke an agreement
which had still more than year to run
and that the union should be supported
in its demand for arbitration.

PRUDENTIAL STRIKERS
Urging Agents of Similar Companies
To Join Them.

New York, July 25.-Oficials of the
newly formed union of insurance agents,
members of which now are on strike
against the Prudential Insurance Com
pany, asserted here tonight that efforts
are being made to induce agents OF other
industrial insurance companies to join
with them. The strikers declared the
agents OF several of these companies had
promised them financial support.
The State Board of Mediation has
taken hand in the strike, and tomorrow
the strikers will be given a hearing
Michael J.. Reagan, of the State Board
announced.
Representatives of the union declared
that negotiations are in progress to have
the facts laid before Secretary Of Labor
Wilson, in Washington, and that it is
proposed to enlist the aid of Frank
Walsh, former Chairman of the Com
mittee on Industrial Relations.
Harry Lumpkin, President of the
union, said he was informed today that
impostors are taking advantage of the
strike and are soliciting payments on
policies.
Officers of the Prudential Company
say that fewer than 1000 men have quit
and that their places are being rapidly
filled with experienced men.

CAR MEN WIN STRIKE.
Company Agrees To Arbitrate 24
Hours After WalkOut.

Memphis, Tenn.-Twenty- four hours
after they had struck for recognition
of their union reinstatement of sixty
discharged employees and increased
wages, 600 conductors and motormen of
the Memphis Street Railway Company
returned to work. The strike was called
at o'clock Saturday afternoon. Until
the agreement was reached at 3 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, not car was op-
Grated.
Public sentiment was with the strikers,
and thousands of men and women surged
through the streets, battling every at
tempt of the company to operate cars
with nonunion employees.
According to the agreement COM
mittee representing the union and com
mittee representing the company will
work out scale of wages and the hours
to constitute a days work. If these
committees cannot agree settlement will
be reached by arbitration.

ANTI-UNIONISTS DO WAR DANCE

Detroit Mich.-Every antiunionst in
the state is doing war dance because
organized labor proposes to amend the
state constitution limiting the issuance
of injunctions in labor disputes.
Labor asks that the principles en-
bodied in the Clayton law be placed in
the state constitution. In reply to this
claim the ants present argument sim
liar to the following from the Saturday
Night, published in this city:
Take the protection of the law away
from the employers property! Make it
possible to destroy the employers fac
tory and his goods if he does not ac--
cede to any demand made upon him !!
Tie and gag the circuit judge to prevent
him from coming to the assistance of
workers upon whom felonious assault is
being made Mob the employer and all
his defenders, but do not let the law
intervene! These are the preachments
and the demands of organized labor in
Michigan today"
