The Right To Organize

est Louis Republic)
 The American Federation of Labor, in ses- sion at Atlantic City, has decided ambitious plan organize 100000 workers in the steel trade. The campaign according to the leaders, will center in the Pittsburgh Homestead district, where an eff fort will be made to establish the right of free speech free press and free assemblage, if it is necessary to go to jail to these rights"
 All sane, forward-looking men and women thor oughy believe in the right of workers to organize. Only the greedy, the selfish and the reactonaries are opposed to it. It would be almost comical for Steel Trust to fight the organization of its workers the Steel Trust which spent millions of dollars to form combination that would be able to fix prices and establish standards. If the steel industries may organize, why not the men who make the steel?
 It is difficult to understand what the American Federation means by fighting to establish the free dom of speech in the Pennsylvania manufacturing districts even if it is necessary to to jail to se it..
 Are to understand that in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh the Constitution is not in effect? Is there no freedom of the press and freedom of as sembage" in McKeesport, Homestead and the Mo- nongahea region and has it reached the point where faces jail if he fights for rights guaranteed by the laws of the land?
 The American Federation of Labor is sane, Der body, opposed to property destruction and radi calism in any form, assured that there is no hint of violence in the pharase about going to jail If necessary" Perhaps the Federation has confidence in the courts of the steel districts per haps it expects the violence to from those op- posed to labor organizations.
 The steel workers be organized if the union leaders will enter upon determined campaign of Americanization and education. As long groups of foreigners speaking their varied languages and adhering to their European customs continue dom- mate the labor field in the Pittsburgh district the problem of organizing them will be difficult and fraught with the danger of sabotage and violence
 Make Americans of them first and union men nextthen the Federation will have an organization and other American ideals and that it will be proud to incorporate into the central body.

 Several weeks ago, The Citizen in commenting editorially the claim of Dan Sutherland for mile age between Ruby and Juneau at the last session the Territorial Legislature, asserted that he was resident of Juneau, and had established legal home there, showing his intention by casting vote in Juneau precinct last November he was not en- titled to mileage
 Press dispatches received by The Citizen and ap- bearing in Friday mornings issue show that the position taken by the paper. in the matter cor rect and that MT Suherlands claim was not al- lowed by the comptroller of the treasury
 At the last session of the Legislature Mir Suth- erand was extremely active in criticism various expenditures of Territorial and Government money by Territorial officials. It would appear that he had much better have started setting his own house in order before attempting clean house for the entire Territory.
 The Citizen is still convinced that its claim that he was not entitled to represent the Fourth Divs- ion as Territorial Senator was well founded. He had lost his qualifications voter in this Divs- ion; he had and still has legal voting residence in Juneau and could not by any enter the next election as candidate for Senator from the Fourth We still believe that he held his seat with out qualification and not legally representa- tive to the Legislature.

AS TO OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS

Because a number of foreigners are making trou- ble in various places in the United States even ex- tending their unlawful practices to Alaska, as is attested by late reports from Port Walter, many people complain at what they designate the laxity Of immigration laws, even going so far as to assert that have laws upon our statute books to exclude undesirable persons any provision to deport such persons found to be undesirable after they have been here for time. The truth Of the matter is that we have splendid immigration laws and if they are properly enforced we need nothing further upon statute books Here Tor instance is section of the law passed by Congress during the year 1917 and if enforced will take care of all undesirable foreigners that now in country or that may come later
 'The following classes of aliens shall be
 excluded from admission into the United
 States anarchists; persons who be-
 lieve in or advocate the overthrow by force
 violence of the government of the Unit
 ed States. of all forms of law who
 dsbelieve in or are opposed to organized
 government, who advocate the assassina-
 tion of public officials, who advocate
 teach the unlawful destruction of property;
 persons who are members of affiliated
 with any organization entertaining and
 teaching disbelief in or opposition to organ
 ized government, who advocate teach
 the duty, necessity propriety of the
 lawful assauting or killing of any officer
 officers, either of specific individuals
 of officers generally, of the government of
 the United States or of any other organized
 government because of his or their official
 character, or who advocate or teach the un-
 lawful destruction of property *"
 Other sections of the 1917 law provide penalties for persons conspiring to shield protect such desirables stipulated in the section above quoted and for the deportation of persons who may have been admitted the United States in good faith but who have later demonstrated their unfit and undesiraby citizens. The fact that a foreigner has been admitted to citizenship does not make him immune from deportation he demonstrates that he is antagonstic to the organ ized government of tl4 United States

Here are some sidelights on the wreck
at Bethel when the rear coach Of the
New England States Limited left the
track, kinked by the heat, and plunged
on its side down the bank, with one
end in the White river.
A three-year-old child was thrown
through a window and landed unhurt.
A small girl dressed in white from head
to shoes came through the wreck with.
out a spot upon her.
A young man who had Just walked
from the rear coach into the one ahead
and is said to have shaken hands with
himself.
The car next to the derailed car jumped
up In the air, but landed back on the
irons.
Two section men and a foreman a,
work near the spot saw the car jump
the tracks and ran for their lives one
tumbling into the river.
The Injured were taken from the over
turned car covered with dirt and cindere
and their faces looked as If they had
been blackened.
One of the men in the car said the
quick arrival of physicians was a sur
prise to all, for as soon as each person
was taken out a doctor was at his side.
One man who suffered a severe cut on
his forehead seated himself calmly in the
river and bathed his head.
