told that they are opposing the

the trade unionist of that city place
some union men on the force and
perhaps they will be little more

feasibility of Government owner
ship and operation of railways and
other public service utilities The
question was introduced by Senator
Borah, who stated that while he
was not committed to Government
ownership of public utilities that a
vote in favor of his res 3lution need
not commit the Senate TO that pol
icy, but the question was one which
the Senate would have o meet
sooner or later and It might be well
to have some information on the
subject.

that anti-child labor agitation in

oent Gompers, Vice President
O'Connell, Treasurer Lennon and
Secretary Morrison of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor urged Pre-
sident Wilson, last Monday, to put
a stop to the competition of en-.
listed musicians of the government
with civilian musicians. 1t was
shown that the government fur
nishes uniforms and instruments to
these enlisted men and pays them
good salaries, ard that they then
enter into comT etition with civilian
musicians, who walk the streets
while the government musicians
play in hotels and elsewhere at a
rate lower than the private citizen
can afford
The unionists also asked the
Pres ident TO favor the Smith
Hughes bill for industrial educa
tion and vocational training.
President Wilson was presented
copies of resolution passed by the
A. F. of l., convention against
ship subsidies, which takes public
moneys for the purpose of promot-
ing private gam. The resolution
favors the creation of an American
merchant marine to be manned by
American seamen ander conditions
that will make them an effective

zoo, Michigan are responsible for
them getting the promise of the
eight hour day in Hamilton 1t
Yves through the agreement entered
into with the International Brother
hood of Par er Makers by the mill
owners in Kalamazoo that caused
the mills in this city to take such
action. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary under the present conditions
to follow the lead of the mills in
the east to grant the men who la
Dor an increase in wages and the
EIGHT HOUR DAY. Had the
mills in the Michigan cities refused
the paper makers what they asked
for, the paper makers in this city
would have never been promised
the same conditions by the local
mill owners. Of course they have
advertised them ,elves as most en-
ployers of labor do when they are
forced to do something, that it was
through their wonderful generosity
that they considered granting their
employees the eight hours.
To prove this is a fact, why
don't they grant it 70 every body
working in the mills ? Why don
they grant the girls in the sorting
room the eight hours, the men in
the boiler and engine rooms and
the laborers should a,so come in
for their share of the prosperity.
There is no demand for the girls,

that alone. Wake up you paper
makers. Join the union if you
want the eight hours and have it
cinched forever. It's the only way
to keep it after you have it.
Mill owners do not give some
thing for nothing and the Hamil
ton paper mills are handing you
now what yor should have received
ten years ago. Will you keep the
EIGHT HOURS granted in this
manner Or will you allow it to be
taken away from you, just because
you are uot organized. Time will

ALAsKA'S COAST LINE.
Longer Than the Distance Round the
World at the EQUATOR,

Have you any idea of the extent of
the Alaska coast line? The shores of
the territory are washed by three great
oceans. These are the Arctic ocean on
the north, Bering sea on the west and
the Pacific on the south. The Aleutian
islands, off the Alaska peninsula, are
separated from each other and the
mainland by network of rocky straits,
and much of southwestern and south
eastern Alaska is made up of noun
famous islands that have rocks of all
shapes and sizes. The islands are real
ly the tops of mountains half lost in
the waters They rise in spires and ca
thedrals, some of which are thousands
of feet above the water and others hid
den beneath it, lying there concealed
and ready to rip open the huils OF ships
as the iceberg of the Atlantic ripped
the Titanic.
The extent Of the Alaska coast with
its windings surpasses that of the
United States proper. 1t is greater
than that of all our states on the Pa
cific from Puget sound to the bound
ary OF Mexico added to that of our
states on the Atlantic, including the
gulf. All told, it is more than 10000
miles long, or longer than the distance
around the world at the equator, and
In proportion to its length 1t has per-
haps more dangers than any other
coast line on earth.
Nevertheless not one-half of it has
yet been sounded by the coast survey
vessels, and more than half Of the gen
eral coast line is not marked by lights
or by any aids 10 nayigation.-Ch

is granted a decree on the cross-cona-
plaint filed by her when the wealthy

given into her custody. Kerl must then
pay the divorcee $l50,000 for mainte-
nance of herself and child by three mort.
cages of $4,000 each, payable in two
four and six years, or he has the alter.
native Of deciding to her life estate ol
the value OF 100000, with reversionary
interest in the son.
The Kerls are said to have met for this
first time in Boise, on the occasion o.
Former Governor Brady's inaugural ball
They were married in Spokane in Sep
mber, 1909 At that time he was AZ
years old and she was 26. In October
