erhoods into submission, there would still be the struggle between labor and capital forced through the economic exigencies of the situation.
 The efforts of labor organizations to obtain positions of controlling power in the industries is one that will not end, for it may not end un til the workers by increasing solid arity drive those who produce mo- thing to live off themselves and it is mighty lean picking they will have of it.

transportation industry alone can with justification claim a payment for the service, and if there is any retrenchment to be done, it must be done with the totally unnecessary private ownership whose function is not even as important as the drone in the hive.
 Only an elaborate system of per- verted ideas through the teachings of convention, of accepted habit, custom, a serving press, suborned pulpit, still keep us tolerating any such thing as private ownership of needed utilities.
 Yet we are far from crediting that the labor question has been settled by the passage of the eight hour day. We know different. Even il the roads did not litigate the broth

THE GENERAL EIGHT HOUR DAA

Adyices from all over Alaska indi- cate that the sentiment for the gen eral eight hour day is strong. IL is believed that it will carry. It is a referendum that should carry, and it will carry if the workers who are interested in it's passage do their share. It is merely an expression of opinion, but it is one that by all reason and equity is mandatory upon the legislature. It affects all classes It enables those men who toll long hours and these women who toll many hours to vote whether or not they want that condition to continue Of course they do not And equally of course they would welcome the change. Reactionary legislators hop ing to pass the onus of their failure to pass this law to the people, by enabling employers to vote against it, insisted upon referendum. It is referred to the people and 1t IS up to the workers to pile up a ma iority in.favor of this eight hour day so that there can not be the slight est hole through which the political invertebrates can crawl, and that they will pass a law in which the most criminally negligent officials can find no subterfuge to avoid en- forcing.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

We have often wondered whence under Heaven some men got thelr ideas in the matter of current events and how it is that they would give vent to them with such an air of oracular authority when, in point of fact. every word and every line is simply syllabled reyel- ation of extreme ignorance upon the topics chosen. A most interesting example of this has been the men, tai exudations of the new editor of the Nugget upon the railroad ques- tion. He has built himself up an imaginative world in the transpor- tation industry, with the brother hoods the bold. bad villains and the railroad chiefs the heroes of the piece. Either he has allowed him. self no consideration of the facts at issue, or he has with the happy simplicity of the capitalist hireling, cheerfully dissertated upon matter
 
 began, and in the unusual subJec- tion of his gray matter to mental process, became so involved before the close that he was content with an array of sentences and para graphs remarkable only for general ized incoherency. It is our function to set him right.
 So, in order that he may be more clear on the question we will go over what really are the elementary facts in connection with the dispute between the brotherhoods and the railroad managers and presidents.
 In the first place the general eco homie status of the railroad em- ployee has been slowly degenerat- ing. His pay has not increased in proportion either to the work done or to the higher costs of living.
 The railroad companies claim that the wages paid their employees in the brotherhoods have increased thirty per cent since 1890. Let us accept that figure. In the mean time the railroad revenues increased during the same period, per freight train mile from $1.65 to $3.31 as shown by the reports of the Inter state Commerce Commission, an in crease of 100 per cent. The cost of an engineers service per 1000 ton-miles since 1890 have decreased from 65 cents to 35 cents. Vice President Parks of the Illinois Gen. tral himself testified that "the en- eineer is now hauling nearly four hundred net tons per locomotive as compared with 200 tons ten years ago an increase of 100 per cent.
 Turning to the higher costs of liv- ing the index figures of such author ities as the Annalist, Bradstreet Dunn's or any other authority lead ing food staples alone within the past eighteen months increased 25 per cent A bulletin issued by the Department of Labor shows that practically all food products aver aged between 1907 and 1915 an in crease of 2S per cent in seven years! Yet in 26 years the wages had only : increased thirty per cent. Food prices increased 4Sh per cent with in 26 years.

NAMES OF BRITISH POLICE
They Are Numerous but "copper""
"Peeler" and "Bobby" Those Most
Frequently Used.

1t would be interesting to have list
of the names by which the British po-
lice are known. "copper"" ''peeler"
and bobby are probably the most
prevalent, and they carry their deriva-
lions with them. An officer who "cops"
people is a copper; and the name Of
the founder of the force, Sir Robert
Peel, explains the other two styles. In
many parts a policeman is called a
"slOp," corruption Of "ecilop" ('po-
lice" spelt backward). In Dundee a
policeman is Shout" the name hav-
ing originally been got from the
fact that he wore helmet with bold
peak fore and aft. Hotten's Slang Die
tiOnary, published in 1864, makes no
mention of "rozzers" or "slops." But
how many would recognize the police
man under the name of "cossack,"
"crusher," frog" raw LOBSTER" IN.

men as an alternative meaning. "Blue-

but no vehicles are called policemen"
now, as the earlier flies or "bluebot-
ties" sometimes were.
