AMERICAN SEAMEN"

The foreign trade department of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has recently compiled from the offices of the various collectors of the of this the at

 No Dc ter argument in favor of the Lafollette law. which seeks to improve the condition of the tolers of the sea, and free them from practical slavery, could possibly be put forth than that above quoted Is 1t not time for remedial legislation when 97 per cent of 5he sailors on American ships are of for eign birth and allegiance? The Lafollette law aims to chanqe this condition It IS because of the fact that the lot of the seamen merchant marine has become unbearabe that there IS a scarcity of sef-rest ecting native Americans seeking employ ment on American vessels. It is to make American ships desirable fields for emp loyment for Americans that the Lafoette bill was passed If incidentally it works to the benefit of men of other nationalties, so much the better The world as we'll as the United States t benefit by it, the lives of passengers and crews wi be closet safeguarded, and the call of the sea will again be heard by American youth

THE STRIKE ON THE GOVERNMENT RAILWAY

Very E,tIe news of definite nature has slited through to this point relative to the conditions ex- isting on the government railway project since the statement was gwen out on February that strike had been naugurated among the workers For appar~ ent reasons the Seward and Anchorage newspapers handle tn. situation gngerly The facts appear to be, however, that the workmen have organized union which in the early part of February had at tained membership of ,2OO and have presented demands for 50 cents an hour instead of the 3/I2 cents heretofore paid by the commission m charge of the wok. Whether or not the work IS completely ted up IS not divulged. In the meantime media ton board IS on the scene dispatched by the depart
 ent of labor, and the commission IS advertising tor men to t; ke the places of the strikers
 The h. 2cng of the labor situation by the Alaska engineering commission, in charge ot construction work ha@ been unfortunate since the inception of the enterprise At the outset spirit of hostility seems to nave been developed by the determmatlon to impo, labor into Alaska, many of the men be'nG foreiene.; The charge was openly made that the ght-ho.c day law was being violated by means ot the contact system, and the low wage schedule put in force 5et new standards for Alaska labor which certainly were cause for dlscontent among aborers and in fact all classes of Alaska residents recent auhor. i've statement as to conditions of labor on the raiIrc ad project IS as follows:
 No racial sectional political distinctions have been made in accepting rejecting applicants for em loymen Ordinary day
 b9rers day. and charged dcIr day for good board thn construction Eight hours constitute Ga the eight hour law has been strictly enforced lh doe, apply the statlonncn who are co'ac tcr and + has criticism of this system It however, kat the complaints concerning conditions on the ob o the workers themselves, but from outsiders who are not of work they of sharing i'll the govern Ment app, 'nauon
 It wi. be conceded by anyone at all familiar with labor conditions n Alaska that $3 per day. with 5 for board, is not an adequate wage even where the eieIt hour day IS observed When it IS known, however that the bulk of the work has been gwen to statonmen, or contractors on terms winch pre- clude the possibility of earning even tl2ls modest wage, within the legal eight-hour limit it IS seen wherein lies the cause of dissatisfaction. As to the statement that the complaints from outsiders it IS only natural that this should be so The standard of wages enforced by the gov ernment will have its effect on the general wage market and 1t IS not at all surprising that those 'desirou3 of sharing in the government appropria- uou, as we'll as all others should be vitaly inter ested n the conditions of employment on the rail- road.
 It is D be hoped that out of the airing that will be given the situation by the mediation board will cIms recognition of the fact that labors compen- saton in Alaska should be considerably higher than in the IT ore settled communities of the States

He is too valuable an animal to be
killed. He is a trick dog and the po-
lice are going to keep him. He has
shown unusual intelligence and has
already established his home at the
headquarters. He has made several
calls with the police and apparently
is contented.
Police think that the dog broke into
the Trauwaen home last night The
family was away and when they re-
turned today they found him under
the table in the kitchen. They became
frightened and all of the workmen at
the Huesing Bottling works were sum-
moned. Then somebody suggested that
the police be called. Without making
an investigation every one took it for
granted that the dog was vicious. But
he is gentle.
Police think he dropped off of one Of
the trains of Ringing Brothers circus
which is showing in Davenport today.
