So mixed in nationalities are the
strikers than when OIander spoke,
25 interpreters were in the hall to
translate what he said to those who
could not understand English. Most
ly they are Russians, Lithuanian,
Greek and Turkish.
The Rev. Timothy Peskoff, pastor
Of st. Georges Independent Russian
Orthodox church, presides at the
meetings. He knows how the ArgO
workers have been starving and
starving their families because the
gigantic corporation for which they
work has not paid them a living wage.
The men want wage raise Of from
1712 to rs cents an hour.
To add to the difficulty under which
the strikers labor, Judge Baldwin is

company, prohibiting the strikers
from picketing.

RUSSIA WANTS NO PEACE.

Possibly the general public was somewhat surprised by the prompt action of the Russian duma in reject ling, by unanimous vote, the German reace proposal It was rather ex pected that if any of the allied na- tions leaned toward peace that na- |tion was Russia. But the Czar's en. |pire was the first to spurn peace. The dumas answer to Germany was probably intended to emphasize the fact that Russia does not purpo. e to cease fighting until her national Inspirations" are realized, and that the Russian people are not weary of the war nor crushed by successive de- feats. If any national body in Rus sia can be said to be representative of the people, that body is the duna, and it may be a reasonable assump- |tion that whether the rulers did or did not start the war it is the inten- |tion of the people, so far as Russia is concerned at least, to finish it." and that sentiment seems to prevail elsewhere also.
 Of course Russia does not intend to abandon her cherished dream of an outlet to warm water through the Dardanelles, and now is her oppor- tunity-no doubt the greatest that will come in decades if not in centu- ries. Moreover the Muscovites will not give up Poland without a strug- gle.
 A German officer was quoted a few days ago as saying that Germany can force Russia to sue for peace and vii. do so unless the entente accept peace. He asserts that Russia's army is de- moralized, without adequate leader" ship and without equipment. It can not be denied, whatever the situa- tion may be, that Russia has shown remarkable resiliency and great re cuperative powers and evidently the -Czar's empire does not think it can be forced to yield so long as it's al- lies are faithful.
 It can be expected that if Russia continues to maintain a defiant at titude and nothing comes of peace negotiations, the bear that walks like a man" will have a chance to test his mettle against the entire available force of the German mili- tary machine.

All these things have naturally called in their wake the services of the most capable and best trained men of the nation. Technical skill and efficiency, and not the question of salary, are the determining facto- Chemical experts, mechanical ex- perts, mineralogy experts and\ex- perts in every other branch of scien- tific development are in as great de- mand in this country as the products of their efforts are in demand abroa1.
 The opportunities for the young man of ambition are legion. The world is being energized anew. Spe. cial training is the watchword. The world is an oyster for the man wh' knows.

nor the other on the general question of feminine rights.
 By the constitution the election of representatives in congress is a mat ter of state right, subject to certain conditions as to apportionment, citi- zenship and length of term. But close upon acknowledgement of the privileges of the commonwealth comes a provision that the federal legislature itself shall, in each of it's houses, be the judge of the qualifica- tions of its own members.
 The constitution says the house of representatives shall be comI osed of members" elected as prescribed and that no person" shall serve as a member who does not meet certain requirements. In these terms is no of sex. But one require ment for eligibility in a member is that of residence in that state in which he shall be elected" The issue somebody is bound to raise will hinge upon the intent behind that "he."
 Published portraits of Miss Ran- kin carry their own assurance that her admission would be a distinct gain to the aesthetics of the house. There are abundant guarantees of abilities ranging in their application from the comprehension of grave pub lie questions and the practice of pure politics to the concoction of the per feet lemon pie. These details of quail ification it appears must be subordi- nate to the conclusions of house whether or not a woman is "person" in the meaning of the constitution.-New York World.

VALDEZ THE SHORTER ROUTE

FAIRBANKS, like Seward, is at
 last awakening to the fact that the |government owned railroad, instead of proving a blessing is likely to be- come a drawback to the future growth of the town. It now looks as if Fairbanks, like Seward, was des' tined to be on a spur of the railroad instead of the main line, and that Ne mana would be the Interior metropo-
 lis, just as Anchorage will be if the government constructs wharfage ia"
 cilities at the railroad terminus on
 Cook Inlet. By pulling in with Val
 Gez at the start<Fairbanks could have
 averted this calamity and been the
 terminal of the inland road, instead
 of tank town, for while Valdez had
 much the shorter and better haul for
 the proposed road, it lacked the pull 10 secure the road. With the great exodus of inhabitants from Fair
 banks to Nenana, the problem pre- sented is a grave one. If railroad could be constructed from Valdez tC
 Fairbanks, it would tap more fer tile country than the road up the Su- .,itna, and the deep snows and cole winds of that valley would be elimi- hated. Besides, a passenger bound to the interior city could arrive at his destination before the boat could , ct from Valdez to Seward, jour- ney of ten to fourteen hours. As tho matter now stands party can take auto in Valdez and get into Fair banks before he would reach Anchor age.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER %, 1916
DEMAND FOR TRAINED MEN.

Never" says the report of the Secretary of Commerce, "has the de mand for scientific and technically trained men been so great as at pres ent. This has resulted in the loss cf many well-trained men in the bureau of standards staff"-and the secre- tary proceeds to say that the time has come when the government must either dispense with the services of such experts or pay them higher sal aries.
 The permanent loss to the govern ment of its highly trained attaches would be deplorable but it is never theless encouraging to note that the opportunities for experts are better today than ever. So far as the gov ernment is concerned it is in a po- sition to protect itself, and there is no reason to lose sleep over that score. The increasing demand for men skilled in the sciences is an in- centive-or should be an incentive to the youth who is undecided in his choice of career. It lights the path way of endeavor and is a spur to ambition.
 One of the most noticeable effects of the European war is to "speed up'' production and to intensity efficien- Cy. The United States, next to Ger many perhaps, has been the foremost nation for several years in the eff ciency movement. It was the marvel ous German organization and thor oughness when the war broke out that forced every other fighting na- tion in Europe to cast aside the shackles of sloth and indifference and substitute an aggressive policy of na- tional and international cooperation and effort. England, formerly an eff ficient nation, had fallen behind and even today, after two and half years of war, is in the throes of a re- organization of government which in- wolves basically the question of eff ciency.
 The American people also have been stimulated by the re-birth of scientific organization in Europe. They have speeded up almost every industrial agency to meet the growing demand for our output abroad. Mu- nitions making is the most striking example of this fact. but the making of warstuffs has so many ramifica- tions that this example alone is in- complete Oup mines, our farms, our mills, our railroads all have been touched by the grim but magic wand of Mars and are on a maximum ca racity basis.

THE kaiser says that Germany has won the war and intimates that s,4ch is the reason why he has made pro- posal for peace. That is just the jok- CT" which the entente suspects. It fears that the kaiser will propose the peace of a conquerer. and peace Cn such a basis would be only con- promise, for neither group of belli- gerents has been defeated. If it can be arranged on a fifty-fifty' basis, I owever-with some kind of assur- ance that war would not break olt again as soon as the peace pact was Ligned-it would be best for all con- cerned.
