Governor Lister appears to
have taken a broader view of
the lumber mill situation than
the many state and federal dig
nitaries who have preceded him
in the attempt TO adjust the
differences between the strik-
ing operatives and their erSt-
while employers. The governor
is for giving the men the in

being based on the belief that
the increased profits demanded
by the mill owners should be
shared with their employees

MUST SEE INTERIOR TO
KNOW ALASKA.

1t is a matter of much re-
greet that Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Herbet \. Never
and the members of his party
cannot spare the time to visit
Interior Alaska this summer.
Mr.. Meyer has been charged
with the responsibility of look
ing after the affairs of the
Alaskan Engineering Commits
sion and he has made the Ala
ska trip expressly to view the
work that has been done in the
way of railroad building and
to gain more intimate know
ledge of conditions in the
Northland. This he cannot do
if he does not come to the In
terror. ~. =.. .
The first hand information
that Mr.. Meyer gathers regard
ing the Northland will not eX-
tend beyond the Matanuska
coal fields. He will learn Just
as much Of our country as the
coast people with whom he as
SOciateS choose TO tell him. and
be they ever so friendly inclin-
ed toward the interests of the
Interior it is reasonable to
assume they will not neglect
their own interests to direct
attention TO our section of the
territory. But the department
official, like the vast majority
Of Outsiders who visit the
coast Of Alaska, will learn just
enough during his brief stay
to convince him that he knows
all about the country, from Re
Surrection bay TO the interior
end of the railroad. And moth,
inc short of a visit to the In
terror country viii cnvince
him to the contrary.
