 Expense Justified The loss of 331 lives in the wreck of the steamship Princess Sophia, October 25. 1918, again emphasizes the deplorable lack of aids to navi. gation and coast surveys in Alaskan waters. The great value of Alaska commerce which last year totaled $127 100000. carried 4,030 vessel trips and justifies the necessary ex. pense to make these waters safe to navigation.

INDUSTRIAL PROBLEM
BEFORE CITY CLUB
Editor of Architects Journal Is
Speaker at Weekly Luncheon
Held at Clubhouse.

Standardization OF industry and
division of the profits of industry
among the workers were suggested
as possible solutions of the high
cost-of-iiving problem by Charles
Harris Whitaker. editor of the Jour
nal of the American Institute OF
Architects, in an address yesterday
afternoon at the weekly luncheon OF
the city Club. held at the clubhouse.
Mr. Whitaker, who returned only
about six months ago from Europe,
where he made thorough study OF
economic conditions. took as his sub
ject The British Industrial Problem
Mr. Whitaker said that two solu-
tions of the industrial problem had
been offered in Brtain-one by the
miners and the other by the building
industry. He explained that the
miners proposal was for the ma
tionalization OF the coal mines. plan
which would eliminate competitive
distribution of coal and wasteful
methods of production, and would
give the public the benefit of the re-
duced cost of production.
He said that the miners rejected
the idea of mere profit sharing. as
such plan would not materially cut
the cost of coal: but urged purchase
of the mines by the government. a
plan which would eliminate the big
item of payment for the mere priv
i.ege of extracting the coal from the
property.
