STRONG MOVE TO REDUCE LIVING COST

The New York State branch of the American Federation of Labor has set a most excellent pie to the country in deciding to suspend all strikes for six months, at least, and in urging unions throughout the country to increase production If the laboring people throughout the United States, and their employers would cooperate to increase American production to the highest possible point, within year this country would be producing in such quantities that the high living cost question would be solved When the production reaches the point where the active in the markets will be those seeking purchasers for their products instead Of buyers seeking to purchase, then will we see prices lower and living coming down. And cheaper products will heavier purchasing and heavier purchasing gives work.
 The action of the New York State branch of the American Federation of Labor in declaring against production Is no doubt the result of the terence between President Wilson and President Gompers It is the fruit of cooperation in meeting one Of the greatest of problems, and one which 1T followed throughout the country by similar ac uoh' Will bring about the readjustment of industrial ana business conditions in this country without a panic other cataclysm
 me thanks of nation again earned by Pres- dent Wilson and President Gompers

Says Wick Is In Error
Fairbanks Citizen)

(Fairbanks Citizen)
 MT. Wickersham asks that large number Of soldiers votes be thrown out having voted for MT. Sulzer. He takes consideration of these soldiers who may have voted for him, proceeding, perhaps the theory that if any soldier voted for him they entitled to vote. At Louden. where he includes in the list of precincts wherein soldiers voted, the returns show that Wckersham ieceived nine votes and his opponent but Yet it is specifically metioned as being of the places giving a soldier vote to MT. SuZer. At Eagle he says soldiers voted while within few days the writer has been informed by of the election of ficials of the Eagle precinct, himself Wickersham supporter, that soldier voted there in the nine teen eighteen election. Richardson is also included and the operator of that place is not even Ameri citizen and could not and did not vote
 Among others included in the list places where men, who voted, married, have families and taxable property, have been discharged and enlisted in Alaska others who long passed their term of enlistment and being held under the emergency service and all of whom possess the necessary voting qualifications. MT. Wickersham either has been poorly informed else bases his beliefs upon his political prejudices.

 Since the great stampede or golu seekers to hlon- dike over twenty years there have been many lesser expeditions and adventurous undertaKlngs with Dawson City as the starting point But since that great trek of 1898 which men of all races and from the four of the earth came flock ing lured Northward by the news of pots or golden nuggets in the valley of the klondike, there mas been nothing that has called those pioneers away from their beloved hills the call of Empire which flashed them from the world headquarters or freedom and democracy in British Isles five ago this month.
 As who heard that call of the North so long ago and since then has known this Northland as homo and having been privileged now to come back after the long journey from the Klondike to the Rhne l can truthfully say that for genuine friend ship and warmth of welcome one must come to the people of the North. Today, almost quarter of century since this great placer camp was estab- isled one finds community of people resolutc and as confident of the future as In those old pie uresQue days and ready to extend the hand of good fellowship to all who find themselves in the Land, of the Midnight Sun.
