Next November the public win nat

and strong teachers should not be for

schools In the Twentieth Century are

county In the Commonwealth. The
voter should not forget that the finest

The standard family that resides
About two hours from preaching,

There's such a rush you've barely time
To do your breakfast eating;
It's hurry up and change your clothes,
Or you'll be late for meeting.
It's Johnnie's wash-tub chance the first,
But Johnnie isn't ready;
And Charles head a-pans him so
His feet are quite unsteady;
And Susie can't commit the verse

One point should not be forgotten
when candidates for places on this

that they must not be pledged to any

leave them absolutely free to select Q

ALASKA ID SAIL
 ON LAST VOYAGE
 TONIGHT AT TEN

The steamer Alaska, which ar rived in port during the night with two barges of lumber from Gibbon, is. scheduled to sail for Whitehorse on the last voyage of the season tonight, probably about ten o'clock. And it is altogether possible that the Alaska will be the last boat to leave Nenana this year for the up- per Yukon.
 The steamer Yukon, which is now enroute from Dawson, is making slow time, and, unless river and weather conditions improve, may not be able to reach Nenana and get back to Whitehorse before the close of navigation. In view of that uncertainty. the company is booking all passengers on the Alas ka and has announced that no freight of any description will be received for shipment on the Yukon. The Yukon was at Rampant this morning.
 Fairbanks passengers will come to Nenana this afternoon by special train, arriving here about six o'clock, and the steamer will sail as soon thereafter as possible. The Reliance probably will bring the passengers across the river.
 The steamer Panama was sent down river last night to get a tow from the Seattle No. 3.
 The passengers arriving on the Alaska last night were all way pass engers. They were: William Kelle- her and Jerry Ford, for Fairbanks; Mrs. E. P. Klev, NJ. C. Arvin, Mrs. K. Reynolds, A. E. Bates, T. E. Mathews, John A. Moe, Sylvester Howell, Ted Sandes, Mir. and Mrs. A. NJ. Howell, s. Jasper, R. Tyler, Miss A. Hosler.

NENANA VOTERS NAME TRUSTEES:

Seven citizens of Nenana, all old timers and most of them prominent in local business circles, were elect ed on Thursday as members of the board of town trustees, to serve during the ensuing year There was only one ticket in the field, and con- sequently little interest in the cleo tion except among the intimate friends of several of the candidates, who did some quiet electioneering, as was evidenced by the presence of considerable number of plunk- CTS in the ballot box.
 A total of 80 votes were cast, of which number Joe O'Connor, of The Terminal, received 53. Mike Cooney finished second with A votes, fol- lowed by J. H. Flower, 3S; George w. Woods, 35; Henry Rappolt, 34; Oscar Rothenburg, 31, and J. H. Miles, 21. MT. O'Connor, by reason

the mushroom yardmen associations
which sprang up in few days through
out the United States, to-day explained
the objects and aim of the walk-out of
thousands Of switchmen and other yard
men.
I'VE are demanding more money!"
said Mr.. Grunau. 1--WE are tired of
promises. We are more tired of the
promises our grand lodge officers have
made than we are of the promises OF
the railroad officials. We have been
do something. They have failed to get
US the pay we need. We want results
and are going to get them.
Il wish to explain two things at the
outset. In the first place, in our mind
there is no such thing as the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen. 1t is
merely skeleton organization. We
have the men and they have the char
ter The officers are inactive. We
don't recognize them as officers. My
men have all been former members OF
the Brotherhood and the Switchmen's
Union of North America, but neither OF
these organizations exists now.
"The next thing is that we are not on
strike. The men walked out individu-
ally. They are asserting their rights
as citizens by quitting. Therefore, how
can the strike be illegal?
ut is walk-out, not strike. These
are the demands we are making: Fore
men of all yard and transfer engines,
81 an hour; yard helpers, 95 cents an
hour; switch tenders, SIS day, to apply
at 95 cents an hour, time and half
for overtime, Sundays and all legal hol-
idays, and where they are required to
work more than eight hours Sundays
or legal holidays, double time for all
time exceeding eight hours.
"The engineers have joined us. They
are making similar demands. The fire
men also want more pay and have
formed a new organization. We have
money. You can see that by the fact
that we have rented six halls and arc
paying for them.
Eve are gong TO seek an injunction
against the grand lodge officers to keer
them from spending the money that We
paid into that organization. Meantime
we are seeking new charter.
"The movement is popular one, as
can be seen. I am receiving kilograms
from all parts Of the country asking
for organizers. My headquarters is
swamped with men who want to be or
ganizers and business agents. These
are good jobs and there are plenty who
want to fill them. The old officers will
soon be without their jobs
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-04-11

Common labor is receiving equally as
much, and in many instances more, per
hour than paid to transportation en-
ployees, who must accept hazard and
responsibility not required OF common
laborers.
This fact, however, does not justify
mob rule or warrant the destruction of
bona tide labor organizations that have
always Loyalty supported the govern
ment and made good their contract
agreements with their employers. My
position is. and has been, that we will
continue in the interest of those we
represent in businesslike manner and
according to the constitution and gen.
eral rules of bona tide organized labor
rather than attempt settlement by lille
gal strikes or by joining in the 'one
big union idea, which underlies the
real cause of this strike.
"Considering the benefits that have
been secured for train, engine and
yard men in the past by business meth
DDS, through the efforts of our author
lied committees, surely it is not too
much to expect all loyal members of
the organization during trying times
such as we are now experiencing to as
sist in unfolding the banner of the
brotherhood by making contracts With
their employers, thus retaining the re-
spect Of the business and labor world"
