Mir H. C. Strong. who, for number cs wears, was interested in Alaska shioninc, returned on the Steamer >Forthwestern from Juneau last eve ni," wbere he had been invited by Governor Riggs to testify before '--~-.'r~ in tho Legislature on the feasi- t;''tv of nlan for a territoriallv -~--,od etoamshin line
 Trnon Interviewing Mr. Strong this r'orninr he stated: "In view of the c.-'doroc and testimony given at the recent hearino I am of the opinion that the Bill introduced will not pass unless it is amended in several ways Tn the first place, it has been quite clearly shown that it is impossible for the Government to show efficiency and economy in management. Furth- ermore, Government ownership stiles or does away with personal and local enterprises"
 MT. Strong cxpresser the conviction that. Alaska needs all of the capital it can attract as well as the encourage ment of it's own citizens to practice thrift and invest their earnings in loritimate Alaska enterprises. He ex- presses the belief that the freight and passenger rates recently put in effect to our ports will invite competition which will be available just as soon as suitable vessels for this trade are to he had That this competition will act mon Alaska rates in exactly the same way as was experienced a number of years ago when the Northland Steam ship Co, of Ketchikan, was organized. The competition of this company re- tluced freight rates approximately if tv Hrr cent, and it has been estimated that this action saved our town at least one hundred thusand dollars in freicht charges. MT. Strong agrees that Alaska citizens should be encour- aged to enter enterprises as he fbelievos such companies, personally managed can handle business cheaper that large corporations or even the Govern rlent He says this policy is better for Alaska than one which would allow politicians to sGuander public funds and discourage individual enterprise.

POLITICAL FREEDOM Of WOMEN

Women Voters, Says Agnes kesto, VIII Help to Make Better

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.--When the
they will have something that will
help substantially in improving the
working conditions and tho wages of
women In industry, where such I'M
prove1nent is necessary, said Miss
Agnes Nestor, one of the foremost
trade union women workers in Amer
lea.
Miss Nestor observed that she had
recently been through 4 session with
the Illinois legislature where not
single measure that the trade women
asked for had been passed. She said
that she found the official representa-
tives Of the employers maintaining
the same position they held before the
war. I'VE had to talk to legislators
for whom we could not VOTE" re-
marked Miss Nestor. I'VE were a
group without representation in the
law-making body. And we got moth
ing.
when the women In industry get
the ballot I believe they will also re-
ceive better treatment than they fire.

culties. There have been some very
unfair injunctions given by judges

titled arrests made by the police, who

Of the women's labor vote"
Miss Nestor was a member Of the
woman's committee of the Council Of
National Defense. representing the
working women of the country. AMI
was the only woman member Of the
advisory council to the secretary of
labor that formulated the plans for
the war labor administration. She is
president of the Chicago Women's
Trade Union league and 4 member of
the executive committee Of the Cook
County Labor party. BY trade she is
a glove maker. being first vice presi-
dent of the International Glove Work
ers' Union of America.
The word that spells success for
the women workers. however, as Miss
Nestor sees it, is organization. That
is the purpose of the Women's Trade
Union league.
Organization of the women is going
strong, said Miss Nestor. She said
they were accomplishing both local
and national organization, that women
were good organizers, and that they
were stickers. Looking back over the
past Is years In Chicago, for illustra-
ton, she said that women's unions

had come through as well as the
mems and that-where they had lapsed
in this period it was generally due to
conditions in the industry which had
similarly affected tho mems unions in
tho same trade.
It was only by organization ia tho
industry that Standardization Of wages
through tho small as we'll as the large
establishments could DO attained, Miss
Nestor continued. and Standardization
in wages. she insisted. was most nec-
essary, because Of tho many women
employed in small concerns.
The minimum wage for women sh ,
held a good step, but not something
which could take the place of organ
ization.
Now as to women's wages them
selves. Miss Nestor takes the position
that the worker, regardless of whether
man or woman. should be paid for the
work done. If the work a woman
does is Of a higher grade than that
done by man, then obviously, she
holds, the woman should receive the
larger pay.
