club and IL Is determined to get thu
young men of Ashland interested In
its activities, II will be good thing
for the club, for the town and for
the young men. The training and

local team should be able to take the
measure of the best Of them here

clipping received recently from the Outside, taken from a New York newspaper, tells of the injury of woman supposed to be Emily Waters in a street car accident. Miss Waters resided in Fairbanks for d number of years, leaving here four or five years ago to return to the east She is known to have gone 10 New York City.
 The following article tells of the accident:
 Crossing Forty-second street and Madison avenue, an unidentified woman, about fifty-six years old, was knocked down by southbound Madison avenue car operated by Motorman Charles Tuick, of No. $50 East One Hundred and Seyenty-ntnth street. the Bronx She was taken unconscious to Flower hospital
 The woman was carrying d book that had been issued by the Forty second street public library. It Was a treatise on spiritualism and a card bore the name of Emily Waters.

The town of Valdez has been prac- ticaIly isolated from the interior for I2 months now and with such a small appro- priatiou in sight, ii cannot expect its trail to be rcopcucd for another year Fairbanks feels the effect of the same lack of faciIi- ties but probably not to such an extent as the former town. Fairbanks has a much more serious proposition in its lack of trails in this immediate vicinity. Brooks should have better transportation facilities for the whole year. There is a crying need fo roads into the Kautisma district with its miles and miles of vast mineral deposits Turnout the entire interior the one great need is wagon roads The coming of the government railroad will not eradicate these needs but will only serve to make them more pressing. There should be roads radiatiug from it in every direction and they should be started now and in a fair way of completion by the time the rail way k itself completed In no other way can the railroad be success. IL alone will not make possible Alaskan development and the appropriation asked for our road work for next year is entirely too small to start any program of wagon roads in con ncction with the railroad.

KIDS NIGHT AT
 THORNE'S SHOW
THORNE GIVES KID DIES CHANGE TO SEE BIG
 CIRCUS FILM.

In the advertisement of Thorne's 5how for this evening will be seen the line Kids Free Tonight In on this to a representa- tive of The Citizen last night, Man ager Thorne remarked that it was un- usual for him to give a free show to the kiddies during school week, on ac- count of it's possibility of interfering with school duties, but on this oc- casion he has made an exception in order that they may see a real circus film.
 In the film entitled Her Circus Knight" said MT Thorne, will be seen some really remarkable stunts These, of course, will be especially to the children and as that is about the nearest many of them will have of seeing a circus for possibly years he is letting the bars down and in vites the kids to be on hand at S:30 o'clock this evening to take in the performance.

LABOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
(From the Railroad Employed As unauthorized after unauthorized

(FrOm the Railroad EmpIOVcCD
 As unauthorized after unauthorized strikes follow each other in cvel-ncrcasing succession, bringing the paralysis of de structivc radicaIism nearer and nearer to the heart of the business prosperity of the nation it is high time that the reputable and responsible element within the ranks of organizations of labor dcnouncc the pre- vaiIing spirit of brigandage in no uncertain terms
 In the light of recent events it is a ease of labor run riot. Agreements are made only to be broken; no guarantee is good over night; no promise worth the breath used to make it: no compact of the value of a grain of sand. Employers are unable to figure their labor costs from day to day or know what the morrow may bring forth Confusion and diSOrganization reign in the marts of trade and centres of com mercc where peace and prosperity should obtain thru fixed and understandable re- Iationship between the man who works and the man who pays.
 Nearly two decades ago before the boI- shcyism of the present had been defined and l. w. Wism was in its infancy this publication suggested as a means of stabiI- izing the relationship between organiza- tions of labor and the employers form of contract containing a stipulation for col Iectable damages in the event of forfeiture The wisdom of this suggestion must be plainly apparent at this time when dis regard of contract or obligation on the part of the membership of an increasing number of the organizations is becoming the rule rather than the exception, and the authorities of the unions are apparently powerIess to enforce the pro visions of agreements entered into in good faith and with the full approval of the

 It should be brot about thru national legislative enactment that no organization of whatever scope or description should be accorded recognition that cannot or will not thru its membership collectively and individually, enter into a wage agreement which, if unduly or illegally broken, would involve financial as we'll as moral respOn- sibility, whereby the individual members would be held equally liable with the em- plover, and property or funds in thein possession subject to seizure under due process of law.
 We say it, and say it positively, that the labor organizations of the future must so regulate their affairs as to be enabled to enter into a binding legal agreement with their employers with mutual stipula- tin for collectable damages. Both must stand on an equal footing. The working man and his associates should become con- tracing parties, business men in short with whom may be had proper and respon- sible business dealings

FORT NEAR PRINCIPAL

Reds Actively Prepare to Evacu-

Dispatch From Moscow

Stockholm, June 16.--(By A. P.)-
White guards have captured the i'm
portant fort of Kresnayagorka, across
the bay of Kronstadt. from the fortress
Of Kronstadt, the chief seaward de-
fense of Petrograd, according to an Of
fetal statement issued from Esthonian
headquarters. II is said that the White
Guards won their success after the gar
rison of the fort had mutinied against
the Bolsheviki.
London, June 16.-By A. P.)--
Active preparations are being made by
the Bolsheviki for the evacuation of
Petrograd, it is announced in a wireless
despatch from Moscow received here
today.
Warsaw, June 16.-(By A. p. 1.-The
German penetration of Lithuania is
still proceeding. They now hold the
line from Riga to Kovno. Their army
of occupation, replacing General Hoff-
man's forces, has taken over the rail-
ways, banks, newspapers and public
schools of Riga, Libau, Kovno and other
places.
The fighting between the Germans
and the Bolsheviki is reported to be OF
the fiercest character, neither side giving
quarter. The Germans are surly
toward American officers.

the proposed treaty is merely a cele-
bration of the last triumph Of imperial-
ist and capitalist tendencies. The dele
gates appeal to the innate right. Of men
and nations. The proposed Treaty is
characterized as incompatible with re-
spect for this innate right. y In the
resolve, however, to fulfil her obliga
tions Germany makes certain counter
proposals.
Calling attention to the fact that
Germany has already submitted her
own proposals for league Of nations,
the German delegates agree to negoti-
ate on the basis of the Allied proposals
il Germany is admitted on equal terms,
is on condition that clauses are in :
serted guaranteeing complete equality
in trade conditions, freedom from ex
ternal interference, and the prevention
of economic warfare and exclusion by
boycott.
More Forces Wanted
Germany agrees to the basic idea
regarding army, navy and air regula-
tions, and especially the abolition of
compulsory military service, If this is
the beginning of a general reduction of
armaments and abandonment of COM
StENltt. ~
transition must be allowed during which
Germany may retain such forces as are
required to preserve internal order
before reducing her army to the 100, =
600 limit. On condition that Germany
enters the league at once she agrees to
dismantle, the fortresses in the west,
and establish neutral zone. But no
special Supervision of the process of
disarmament. except that of the league
can be admitted, and an extension of
time must be granted after discussion
on the basis of equality.
Oral negotiations to settle details with
respect to the surrender of warships and
aviation measures are proposed.
Much space is devoted to territorial
questions, all the disputed territories
being taken up. Particular attention
is paid to the Saar district, with its all
important coal mines. The population
of this district, it is asserted, has been
attached to Germany for more than n
thousand years, and the people today
are as German as they were hundred
years ago.
The separation of the Saar district,
the Germans say, is to compensate
France for coal destroyed in the north.
But it is contended, such question can

by tearing away a nationally undisputed
territory and degrading the league OF
nations by involving it in the transac
ton.
Reconsideration Asked
The German Government declines to
make any reparation in the form of pun
ishment, and still more emphatically de
clines to pass on to individual parts OF
the population the punishment intended
for the whole community. The annexa
tion of the Saar district to France would
mean the creation of another Alsace-
Lorraine, and Germany claims that the
while question must be reconsidered
Still insisting that for the greater part
Alsace- Lorraine is German, the Ger =
mans admit that according to present
conceptions of right an injustice was
committed in 1871 when the people
were not consulted. Germany therefore
has promised reparation. but it would
be no reparation to cede Alsace- Lor
raine, with its immensely increased
economic wealth. to France at once. A
vote must be taken. allowing choice
