under the control and restraint Of the
government, compelled to follow the
most rigid discipline and to 90 through

should the people behind the lines

lives without any change or even con
troll by the government to compel
them TO work In order TO produce?
The fighting strength OF the nation

velopment and control Of the poten.

THE KENNECOTT STRIKE

Harold Johnson, formerly of the Jumbo mine. Kennecott," writes to the Juneau Empire the following as the strikers version , of the labor troubles at kennecott:
 "On June 10 the demands of the miners were formally presented to the kennecott officials. with the intimatlon that the men would walk out on the 18th unless thelr demands were compiled with. The manage ment wired their demands to the New York office, and on the 18th the men received mo- tice that their demands had been refused, so on the morning of the 16th everybody at the Bonanza and Jumbo mines including the Jap cooks, walked out, as they had threatened.
 "The men remained on good terms with the officials. and perfect order was, and IS, being maintained The saloons at McCar- thy have been closed and the men have camp about a mile from town.
 The company alleges that the trouble was started by Germsn sympathlzers but this is improbable, as there were three other disputes on the question of wages in Jan uarv, June and December, 1916. None Of these strikes was settled to the satisfaction of the men, and this strike is the culmlna- ton of trouble that has been piling up ever since the Kennecott Copper Corporation came to Alaska and established wage scale that is 20 to 50 per cent lower than Fairbanks and the other camps ln the In terlor.
 ''In spite of the dollar bonus, wages are p per cent lower than Fairbanks today al though the company is making enormous profits And Fairbanks Is worked-out camp while the kennecott holdlng= are the Copper Klondike, producing as much actual money as Dawson in its palmlest days
 Even if you don't care to publish the above. we hope you will bear it in mind when printing an account of the affair It is useless to say anything about German sympahizers and agitators, as such reports are absolutely unfounded. Remember the other three disputes. Where there is so much smoke there must be a little fire.
 1.-Two hundred men are involved in the walk out You can rely on the above in formation being correct, as l as spokesman for the Jumbo miners"
