The eight-hour day should become the standard industrial day in all lines Of work; there must be cer- tain exceptions. but these should be luTIHeT states Business and labor cannot be Considered separately. It is quite i'm. possible permanently to elevate labor if business does not pay, and if the payment the business gets is not euuit. ably divided with labor there is no use whatever of having it. We ought to set our faces against any restric- tion Of production, or any require- menr that the good and skillful work man be kept down to the level of the Incompetent Or the lazy" Here is briefly stated, the vital issues of the labor questiom To my mind it is clearly right and necessary for labor to organize. The capital of most work ing men is their strength and capabil. ity of service, for which they are en- titled to just remuneration, not mere. ly living wage, but enough to'enable a prudent person fair percentage of profit. Capital organizes to strength en and safeguard it's interests. Labor has the same right. There are few diff ferences arising between capital and labor that could not be amicably set tied if the adjustment were left to committees composed of intelligent, fair-minded men representing each party. The prime disturber in the la. Dor situation is class hatred which is constantly famed by irresponsible agi. tatTs in labor's ranks, and On the other hand by an oyer-selfish class of employers who have not proper re- spect for the man in overalls, who re- spect the dollar above the man and, while claiming to represent democracy, belong to the very type who founded

Ketchikan, Alaska, April 25. 1919. Editcr Progressive-Miner.
 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 Believing that an explanation and apology is due the citizens of Ketchi- kan and the public for the regret table incident featured in last nights edition of your paper I beg you to pub fish the following.
 On the afternoon Of April 22nd, May or Petty and Harry Nixon came to my office in the Alaska Labor Union hall and MT. Petty had two telegrams. one from Judge Wickersham and one from Bob Oliver at Juneau. the wire from Wickersham stating that the eight hour bill was a good one and was meeting much opposition in the Senate and urg- ing every effort be brought to bear to secure it's passage. This may not be the exact wording but both telegrams meant about the same thing Mir. Nix On had received wire from Ben Lit tell earlier in the day giving the names of those opposing the bill andstating the situation critical or some such words.
 MT. Petty stated that We must wire to Juneau immediately and the tele- grams were written and Mayor Petty signed first. then Mr. Nixon signed. and signed as secretary of the Alas ka Labor Union.
 As committe for the Victory Loan issue We had each, in talking to labor in men, been met with the answer, Tets wait until We see what they are going to do about the eight hour bill" and the reason for this attitude, as understand from my conversations and association with tue la!boring men, is that ninety per cent of the people of Alaska voted for an eight hour law two years ago and it was suspended and finally overruled and the average worker feels that he has been cheated.
 It was in my mind and I believe in the minds of the others at the time the elearams were sent, that labor would subscribe more and make the Victory loan a greater success if they received the eight hour law and this was the meaning We wished. to convey but the unfortunate choice of words left room for misconstruction.
 Personally I realize that 1t is impos. s7ble fer the eanneries to work a straight eight hour day and the clause in the bill as introdsced provides for mcre than eight honrse inasmuch as they can pay time and one half for overtime. This doee not mean that e man is worth mere for tbs overtime but it would tsnd to discourage tho su. p1oymert of men for more thaa eight hours unless absolutely necessary. also realize that wages are above 1 normal but they are not out ofpropor ton to the cost of necessities. Until things become normal again both em

REV, JOHNSON IS
RENDERED RECEPTION

Concerning a reception given for
men Baraboo pastor at Stoughton the
Courier-Hub says:
A fine audience gathered at the Bap-
fist church last evening, composed OF
members and friends of the church, to
extend a welcome to Rev. ]. w. John,
son and family. A short program was
finely rendered. after which light re-
freshments were served. One number
on the program was a poem written
and read by doc" Davis, but for lack
of space we have to delay its publica-
ton until Monday. Although Mr.. Da-
Wis is a chiropractor, and not poet,
he has consented to allow his produc-
ton to be published for the benefit Of
absent members. Some mysterious
looking parcels were brought and
placed in one of the cloak rooms, but
the spirit of not letting your right
hand know what your left hand doeth
was carried out so perfectly that we
can give no idea of their contents.
The whole affair was just what it was
planned to be-a delightful informal
family gathering.
Ode to New Baptist Pastor
To Rev. J. w. Johnson, His Family
and his guests:
O Baraboo! Thou has lost a man
When Johnson left with his little clan;
O Stoughton! Thou hast much to
boast,
The coming of this Baptist host
John was man from Heaven sent,
He went about from tent to tent;
Love and cheer he scattered wide,
Caught from the Masters boundless
tide.
Likewise the rose is Heavenly scent,
It. gives and gives, till all is spent;
And daily yields it's fragrant breath,
Counts not the cost, cen though it's
death.
IT'S said, LET women do the work
For they know every little quirk,
But not till we get cover there"
w Ill KNOW now huCh thoy iiou " o0"i :
Parsonage Queen! sure thou hast felt,
AS thou hast by thy husband knelt,
The burden of the troubled soul,
Who cropping seeks the promised goal.
Welcome then to thee our friend
Who comes to give, and spend and
lend,
We pledge to thee and thine our best,
AS weltas to thy sweet-faced guest.
@ Baraboo! Thou has lost man
When Johnson left with his little clan;
% Stoughton! Thou hast much to
boast,
The coming o. this Baptist host.

twelve children married and settled
down, cast about for a place Of safe
keeping for her savings of a lifetime
amounting to $1,000
She did not distrust banks, but
thought of having it where she could
put hands on it Immediately. Ac-
cordingly she converted the money
into $40 gold pieces, put the coin in
an old stone jar and buried it under
the chicken coop.
Monday morning as she was in the
yard to hang -up the wash Mrs. Novak
discovered the ground freshly broken
over the hiding place of her store of
gold. Upon further investigation her
worst fears were realized, for neither

there
She told someone where the money
was buried. The police are busy.
