The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-06-13
RED TOP FROM TIP.

Down in Juneau they have dear old suuabble about the governorshlp which is something interesting.
 Incidentally because the Industrial Worker of this town condemned the action Of the eanyassing board in not strictly abiding by the election law. the Juneau Empire quoted it as one Of the papers which was against Strong. Unfortunately we didn't come across that copy Of the Em9ire in the belated mail. but we presume it was to that effect.
 Now sitting i'll the editorial chair of the Dispatch is Misther MGrath' who formerly adorned the Nugget and who incidentally retired from Nome newsparerdom after he had ran foul Of this paper and got ali he wanted in reply Evidently we have embittered the existence of N'Grath some, and he still carries cancer in his heart whenever he be- thinks him of the days when he had to take his medicine and say he liked it from this paper. Naturally anytime he can put in good word for the Industrial Worker, he does so, quite well.
 Accordingly Red Top from Tip got busy in responding to the Elm pire in this wise:
 "The Empire counted the Ruby peoord- Citizen as one of the sup porters of the Clique opposed to Governor Strong and then with a beautiful sang froid tells it's readers that it has no knowledge of that uapers stand upon the question. The Empire also says that the Industrial Worker. another of the pillars of Too1ev Street, is not an l. w. w. paper and is the paper of the west ern Federation of Miners. Why the members of the Western Federation of Miners at Nome tried to nave their name taken off that paper but were outvoted by the I w w. mem- bers. Representative Philip Corri- gan. democratic candidate for L. 5, Marshal at Nome, and democratic member of the legislature will tell the Empire that he and his real la bor union friends once contemplated smashing the machinery of the pa ner with hatchets because Of Its anarchistic policy. But the Dispatch will not be hard upon this point. ,. Now that was real nice oi Jack. A long distance falsehood that as long as he wGs in Nome he would never have the temerity to utter that this paper is not owned absolutely and controlled completely by the Western Federation of Miners and that the members always held a pride in having it's name placed upon it's page so that even q Tlppe- rary mugwump selling his curdled brains for hire could read, learn and inwardly digest.
 Moreover if Phil Corrigan, who WIS elected as strictly non-partlsan candidate. for there were no demo- cratic nominees from this division syith his friends had cny notion ol smashing the machinery they never let it out and above all they never disclosed the fact in the Union ana kent if very well to themselves. We believe that this is clever libel on Phil Corrigan but that is neither here nor there.
 But consider this M'Grath. Here he was afraid to blow hot or cold The poor mutt used to have sickly sort of feeling when the opened the Worker of a morning, and because he couldn't stand it any longer he got and we admired his wisdom He variegated the jobless hacks Tn Seattle trying to get along with an Alaska Review but somewha' conldn't connect with the shekels till Bernie Stone for old time sake pitched him into an editorial chair and told Johnny to be a good demo" crat and "agin Wickersham'
 Johnny went some as democrat and ti-Wickershamite according to his lights, which are the lights of his boss. and he can write in the same emphatic way whether he is on she right, the left, or on top of the fence so long as he is doing as the
