NEW! AIR ROUTE

BUTTE, Mont. Nov, 10- Conner: cial organizations in Butte are consid erihg the project of establishing air plane passenger routes between Butt, and Yellowstone national parks. Thi' has been suggested by Harvey A. Bell, gard of Billings, who was an aviato during the world war.
 The plan includes the bringing t Butte of a number of 4O-passenger air. planes built by the government fo bombing. It is estimated that such ar airplane could leave Butte at 1 O clock in the morning and reach Yel lowstone park at 9:30 a. m. Glacie, park could be reached, it is said, in : trip of three hours by air. The dis tance by road from Yellowstone ts Glacier park is 400 miles, while b! air it is only 275 miles.
 Aviator Beilgard estimates he coult make a trip with one of the large pas senger planes to Glacier park in th
 morning, and by leaving there It < p. m. could bring back passengers t
 Butte the same day. Beilgard ha 1 made a flight from Billings to Mime apolis n 12 hours.

MORMON TEMPLE

LETHBRIDGE, Alta, Nov, 10-Set upon hill, the highest point in the town of Cardston in the extreme southwest of Alberta, stands liks the Acropolis of aacisnt Athens, the first such structure to be erected on Brit ish soil, Mormon temple.
 Six years ago last August the first sod was turned. Year by year the im- posing $r,25O,OO0 structure has risen until today it stands almost complet- ed, ready for the final dedication by the highest officials of the church, . ceremony which likely will take place in May or June of next year. Interior decoration, which has already made the temple famous throughout, the length and breadth of the continent, is still progressing and it will be spring before the final touches are made.
 Once the temple is completed, de- dicated and turned over to the corps of temple officials for the special rites and ceremonies for which it was con 'structed, it will be sacred ground. No ,non-member will be allowed to set foot within its portals, and only mem bers of the church who can carry a certificate from their bishop showing themselves to be in good standing in every particular, will be allowed tb take part in the ceremonies within its walls.
 Surrounding the temple and lift ing it up, is great square within a reaining wall 235 feet square. With in are being developed beautiful arti- 'ficial gardens in the center of which the temple stands, rearing its topmost point no feet in the air. The structure is built of Nelson granite bearing S in gold to the ton. On the interior thu finest of woods, paintings and rugE vie with each other to end a tone of quiet magnificence. Throughout all! the rooms, special woods are used in decorating. There is African and Am. erican walnut, redwood from South America, ebony and rosewood, while il. every room are splendid borders of in laid work which took months of time on the part of several cabinet maker: to complete.
 The Latter Day Saints have built eight temples including the one 4i. Cardston and one at Eaise, Hawaiian Islands. The ninth will be built Mesa, Arizona.
 The greater part of the money fo building the Cardston temple was fur nished by the central council, of whicl. President Herber J. Grant is the head This money came from Mormons i. every part of the continent. Howeve. many thousands of dollars were con .tributed by members of the church i, Canada, while much of the rough lab or on the temple was contributed b. members, without pay.

. -o1TIMMY EDITORIAL.

s4GaTkMEaIY EDITORIAL
 Yesterday there was printed in the Gateway news item relative to the reduced price of clothing and other staple commodities. It proclaimed the fact that the high prices that have been prevailing since the war were to be reduced to a .pre-war standing. Some people in Seward upon reading this news immediately took it for granted that our local merchants were charging too much for their stocks and several people who are on theil way outside to spend the winter mon- ths and, most of the money made in Alaska during the summer months, de cided that they would postpone some of their purchases until they reached Seattle. Now any sane person who read the article which simply stated that the big manufacturing concerns were contemplating reduction in price on staple commodities must have realized that it would take several months and possibly year before the stocks purchased by the retailers could be sold and replaced by goods purchased at the newly promised prices
 And these sane persons if they arc SewarditeS or citizens of any other part of the Territory must be thor oughly familiar with the fact that the merchants of Seward and every other town in Alaska have always sold theis goods as reasonable as they could bc purchased outside and in great many instances much cheaper because of the fact that it was not necessary fol them to add the huge rent and other big expenses that all the Seattle stores have to pay, to the price of the mer- chandise which they sell. Of course there is certain class of people al. ways to be found in community, who are the first to kick about high prices of the local merchants, but as a rule these same people who kick are all members: of the Mail OrderBattalion. They complain about the price and the siimness and inferior quality of the goods handled by the local merchant and then they get out the mail order bible and select a list of goods from some highly colored pictures and from some very cheap price lists, and gath CT together the cash which is abso- lutely necessary for them to dig up before they can get the outside goods and take the cash to the Post Office and buy a NJ. O. and mail it out on the boat and wait until the low priced, highly colored bargains they have se- lected arrive. AS a general rule they get stung. But they seldom advertise the fact. They wear the paper soled shoes and the All Wool cotton gar ments and then wonder why the local . merchant will not extend them credit

paid cash only produced half the cash price in actual wear.
 There is not a Gouger on the whole list of our local merchants. Every ar ticle they sell is first class and the prices charged by them are almost al- ways below those charged for the same class of merchandise in the Stat es where the merchants have an enoY-' nous overhead expense. Think it over you people with the Mail Order Bible. Put two and two together and you will discover that it always makes four and if you will do this simple sum of addition with the next four dollars you are figuring or sending out of the Territory you will discover that the four dollars will purchase just as much in Seward as it will outside and that ninety nine times out of one hun dred you will get more real value for your money. You will all pay more for your clothing in Seattle and other towns in the states for the next year. than you will be obliged to pay right here in Seward. Don't continue to kid yourselves that you can do better for the same money in Seattle or other cities in the states. You absolutely cannot. If you are real Alaskan you will support your home stores. If you are a Transient Gbuger you will h able to save few SimoleonS by Spend- ing some of the money which you armed this summer with the mei'- chants who made it possible for you to come to Alaska and earn that mon ey. If you are a member of the Mail Order Bible Class discard the Bible of low prices and big bargains and sev- ere your affiliations with the organiz- ation that hurts a community more than an epidemic of small pox. Sup port your home merchants and they will give you mercbandise as good and in most instances better than you can ever hope to get by mail.
 Think it ever, talk ;t over and then dig the sand out of your eyes tieat blinds you and learn to see things as they really arc not as some highly colored catalog paints them. If you want to continue to support the big mail order houses who boast that they make more than sixty million dollars per year from their mail older sales and that every bit of overhead expen- SC is absorbed by those who order, you should pack up all of your belongings and take passage on boat that is bound for some obscure place in the South Seas where such an animal as a merchant is unknown. Think it over. If the truth hurts, holler if you want to. The louder you holler the bigger the fool you will proclaim yourselves to be. You cannot get something for nothing in this world. It can't be did.

THE IRISH REPUBLIC

At the convention of the American
Federation of Labor resolution to
keep the the organized workers OF
the United States informed as to what
is happening in Ireland, and to take
such action as will strengthen and
hearten the Irish people in their
struggle for liberty and justice" was
unanimously adopted. The committee
appointed for that purpose by the
Trades and Labor Assembly met with
the executiv e officers of the Friends
of Irish Freedom last week and de-
cided to call meeting at Trades
Assembly hall on Sunday, December
5 at 2:30 p. m. and invite representa-
tives of other organizations favoring
Irish freedom to meet with them for
the purpose of effecting a permanent
organization to advance lreland's
cause. Everybody will be welcome at
this gathering, and it is hoped the
hall will be filled.

TRADE UNIONS ARE BULWARKS
OF MODERN DEMOCRACIES

The trade union movement means
more than high wages, short hours
and improved working conditions. 1t
means intellectual development of the
masses. 1t means independent wage
earners, who carry this independence
from the shop, mill and mine into the
affairs of everyday life.
And herein lies major reason for
the opposition to organized labor.
The trade unionist is interested in
other things than shop conditions.
Every economic, political and social
question attracts him.
His collective voice is heard on
education, finance, industry, agri-
culture and transportation. He fights
for free press, speech and assemblage,
and will go to prison that this herit-
age is assured.
He creates new public opinion by
his constructive craftsmanship, his
insistence on just relations between
men, and his vigor in exposing wrong.
He demands that democracy func-
ton.
This type of worker is not favor
ed by anti-union employers, anti
union business men, anti-union bank
ers and their political agents.
These elements want "contented'
workers. They want men who are
thankful for their jobs, who will per-
nit the boss to do their thinking,
form their opinions and tell them
how to vote.
This is why these elements believe
in organization for their kind, but
deny it to wage earners. They look
upon organization as a protection to
their power over the unorganized,
while a trade union is a challenge to
their power.
The stand-pattism Of these elements
is historic. They never move until
they are compelled to.
These elements want slave class
not in name, but in fact.
Trade unionism is the monkey
wrench thrown into the machinery of
autocracy and sham.
Trade unionism has established the
first element of democracy in industry
In the non-union shop the employer
is absolute. In the union shop the
worker has a voice in working con-
ditions. AS a citizen he is likewise
independent. Collectively, he is the
greatest factor in freedoms cause.
The British statesman correctly de-
clared: "Trade unions are the bull
warks of modern democracies."
Agitate! Educate! Organize!

NO REDUCTION FOR MINE
WORKERS

Indianapolis, Ind.-John L. Lewis,
international president of the United
Mine Workers of America, has placed
that organization on record against
any reduction in wages for the mine
workers.
"Under no circumstances will we
permit any reduction in the wages of
the mine workers of the country he
said. There is not going to be- any
return to pre-war wages or condi-
tions. Any reduction in wages is an
economic mistake. 1t never produces
any good result. What the mine
workers have today we are going to
hold, and we propose to continue to
make progress instead of going back
ward"
There is the policy of the United
Mine Workers. 1t is stated in plain
words, so that it may be understood
by anyone. 1t is a platform upon
which every member of the union will
stand In making that statement,
President Lewis told the world what
the United Mine Workers of America
stand for. 1t is the unqualified duty
of every member of the union to
stand firmly behind the international
officials. They must present a solid
front, to sustain the international Of
ficials in that policy. To stand back,
to hesitate or to fail to give the inter-
national officials full support and CO.
operation would be an indication of
division. Such action would give en-
couragement to the opposition which
is attempting so vigorously to break
down the present wage levels in in
dustry in the United States. The
mine workers must stand together
and let the United Mine Workers of
America shine forth as an example to
the labor movement in general of
solidarity and devotion to sound
principle.
1t is fortunate, indeed, that the
position Of the United Mine Workers
of America is now we'll known. 1t
is fortunate, too that the membership
of this great union is made up of that
kind of manhood that will stand
firmly and resolutely by the policy
enunciated by President Lewis.

POISONING INDUSTRIAL BODY

Intelligent business men are slowly
coming to the point of view that the
railroads are a menace to all industry
and will poison commerce until heroic
remedies are applied to their ills.
They are asking themselves whether
their ill-considered attitude of hostil-
ity to naturalization of the trans
portation industry is not reacting dis
advantageously upon them and cost
ing them a great loss of money and
considerable concern for the future.
Failure of the railroads to trans
port freight has been hard blow to
American business. No one has yet
estimated just what share of respon-
sibility for the existing panic can be-
traced back to railroad ineffciency.
1t is indisputed, however, that the
money loss has been heavy, which is
in addition to the Generalization of
production agencies.
On top of this is the increased
freight rates, which interefers with
the free movement of commerce.
Some industries have been wiped out
entirely or have been compelled to
undertake an expensive reorganiza-
tion to meet the new conditions.
Transportation charges are reflected
directly in the cost of commodities,
and while the manufacturers have
been compelled to cut their prices
there has been no corresponding re-
lief for consumers. The depression
through which the nation is now
floundering, entaling widespread loss
to business interests and loss of en-
ployment for millions of workers, was
produced by the refusal or the in
ability of the public to buy. If the
railroads today are more nearly meet
ing their responsibility it is because
they have developed a situation where
there is less traffic to handle. Con-
gestion has been replaced with stag
nation.
1t may reasonably be expected that
full realization of the constant men,
ace of inefficient transportation will
compel many staunch opponents of
government ownership to revise their
views. An intelligent if selfish in
terest will point the solution of the
problem, and when this state of mind
is developed it may be expected that
advocates of individual initiative and
opportunity will maintain an even
keel. Either that or all industry will
go down together. That is an ex-
treme and very unlikely possibility.
Some such thought as this doubt
less provoked Senators Calder and
Edge, reactionary, privilege-serving
lawmakers, to declare that unless the
coal operators reformed they would
move for naturalization of the coal
industry. Coal and the railroads are
inextricably mixed, and when the
