A Breakwater at Wrangell
 May Yet Become a Reality
Congress Passes Appropriation Car rying an Item for the Survey
 of Wrangell Harbor

In April 1919 Samuel Cunning ham circulated a petition to Con gress for a breakwater at the en- trance of Etolin harbor. The petition was mailed to Delegate George Grigsby with the en. dorsement of the Wrangell towr council. Later Town Clerk Wor' den was notified by Delegate Grigsby that the petition had not reached him. The Council ther asked MT. Oscar Wickstrom then secretary of the Alaska La. bor Union, if he would circulate another petition. Mir. Wicksrom very kindly consented to under. take the task, and at the next meeting of the council presented a list containing 139 names. This petition was forwarded to Dele. gate Grigsby and also bore the endorsement of the town council.
 In the following letter received by Town Clerk Worden Delegate Grigsby tells what he has done with this matter:
 HOUSE OF REFRESHMENTS
 WASHINGTON, D. C.
 May I4, 1920. ]. E. Wordeu, Esq.,,
 City Clerk,
 Wrangell, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 l am ,nclosing you a copy of HR 1892, which carries an item for the survey of INrangell harbor (see line IS, page 14). As you no doubt remember 1 introduced bill for an appropriation for the construction of a breakwater at Wrangell, but the River & Harbors Committee unanimously reported. to make no appropriations for new projects anywhere ID the United States, so that the very best that could be done was 10 arrange for the survey. You will notice on line nine an item for the survey of Wrangell narrows. This was introduced by Congressman John F. Miller of Sc. attle, at the request of some mari time organization in Seattle, which has recommended the improvement of Wrangell Narrows instead of Dry Straits. 1 introduced bill for the dredging of Dry Straits, but on account of the decision of the committee to make no approprl- ations, no report was made on the bill. Mir. Miller was about to put in a provision for the survey of Wrangell Narrows unqualihedly at the request of the Seattle organiza- ton, but l persuaded him to word it as you see it in the bill. l have no doubt that the Dry Straits prop osition Is the best and 1 believe l convinced Miller that it is the best solution of the problem, but it was incumbent upon him to introduce this provision. It is up to the en- gineers now to make these surveys, and l will see that the Wrangell breakwater survey is made. and there is no doubt that I will be able to get the bill through next session for the construction of this break. water; and 1 have considerable hope of obtaining the Dry Straits im- provement.
 Yours Sincerely,
 Geo. B. Grigsby,
 Delegate from Alaska.

Did you ever see ain iron bedstead standing
in field Of weeds OH mountain side? 1t is
a very forlorn spectacle. In the foreground "a
grown chicken perched on the footrail, in tho
background bank Of golden-rod swaying i'll
the sum- and somewhere between pale, tired
woman with baby feeding at her breast
these incidentals somehow do not relieve the
poignant gretesquerie Of that iron bed where
bed should not be.
But it's all right According to the Con-
stitution and theslaws of West Virginia that
bed and baby, half-grown chicken and tired
women are just where they belong. That man
over there under the flap Of the tent is TO
blame. He is coal miner, and he joined the
union So what could the company do but throw
him and the iron bed out of the shanty where
they lived9
That man and forty others, with their wives,
their broken oil lamps and coal-streaked babies,
used to live there around the turn of the rail
road in the Company houses. Company houses
stand up on wooden legs astraddle of bitches
filled with kitchen drainage and tin cans. But
they have roofs and doors, and walls where
you can drive nan TO hang your overalls 10
grow old and die in such fine place you must
not join labor union.
But these men joined, and now they are all
down on the slope by the river of Nolans, with
their forty families housed in tents sent here
by the United Mine Workers of America. Glist-
ening under the warm autumn sun, against the
green Kentucky mountain over the river, these
tents suggest picnic When northwest winds
begin to drive snow and sleet up the Tug
Valley in December they will suggest some
thing else
Union is stronger than ever
Mine owners are impatient for December to
come. Baldwin-Feltz detectives have not de-
stroyed the union. Federal troops have helped
instead of hindered the union, Election from
their homes has made the men cling tighter to
