COMPULSORY ARBITRATION SHOULD BE
 PROVIDED.

The shipping strike is another reminder of the need for compulsory arbitration in disputes between employers and employees if are to have organized labor and collective bargaining. That is particularly true in cases which involve the general public as greatly does transportation. The Empire believes in organized labor and in collective bargaining but it does not believe in government by strikes, does it believe that the employees should have all the say to how business should be managed If the striking marine engineers and iremen should be able to tie the shipping of the country and keep tied up there will be hunger and suffering in many sec tions of the world, including Alaska before long Life and health will be placed in jeopardy Business will be in danger of destruction
 The interest of the public is greater in the shipping strike than that of the participants in the conflict between the employers and employees
 The Federal Government should establish methods for compulsory arbitration in that involve interstate trade, commerce and industries and the State and Territorial Governments should provide in intrastate

WRONG IN PRINCIPLE AND POLICY.

The contention that the principle fo self govern is involved in the personnel Of the public ser wants is fapdoodle: Sefgovcrnment does not depend upon the question: who the servants. It depends upon who is the boss If the Territory makes the laws and rules and regulations under which the service is to be performed then it is sefgovernment If Congress and the Washington Bureaus and the Eastern endowed secretaries make the laws and rules and regulations then it is not selfgoyernment, no matter who may be the servants.
 It is true that place the Governor in charge of the execution the Territorial Laws, the Organic Acts of all Territories have done and as the Organic Act of Alaska does is satisfactory is in the States where the people elect their head servant. But that is the hold the Federal Govern ment retains the Territores during the proba- tionary period before Statehood. The Territorial Legislature could take away the principal parts of the powers of the Governor if it would. It is therefore absurd to attempt to take away of his authority at the expense of cooperation and efficient and responsible public service in the executive branch of the government. If the Territory had the author ity to confer other particular and definite authority than the Governor the right to recommend legislation and the of the veto, and the tion of all the Territorial laws, there would excuse for the agitation in favor of taking away the powers of the Governor. In short if Congress would provide for the election of a Governor it would be well and good But until Congress acts the Governor appointed by the President, is the chief executive officer of the Territory. He is made that by the very law which gives Legislature As long 9: that is the law it is. wrong in principle and absurd in policy to ham-strng the Governor and lay oun- dation for lack of harmony, cooperation and eff ciency in the public service.
 The Governor under the Organic Act of Alaska under the Constitutions of States is the natural and logical head the executive branch of our gov ernment, and there must be head there canno, be efficiency.

Iowa Sets an Example.
(NeW York World.)


 Gov. Kendall of Iowa has signed bill repeating the law which has for number of years prohibit ed the buying. selling giving away of cigarettes in that State. The statute had been enofrced Cigarette smoking has been customary in Iowa as in any other section of the country. The disre- gard of a restrictive law because it is unpopular said Gov Kendall is giving the repeal his sanction.
 He might have gone further and stated with equal truth that the disregard of one law because of it's unpopuarity casts dscredit every statute,
 entails discredit all laws of similar character whether State national, whether similar in char acter not and that the lax enforcement of one item in code is, if persisted in, enough corrupt the administration of the most admirable system of justice Congress and the various Legislatures have cluttered the records with unenforCed and able sumptuary provisions until the distinction be- tween the lawful and the unlawful shades off into a vague imaginary hne which the alone can locate.

a long conference late today. II was
said only that the conversations were
proceeding and that there was a NUT

In other quarters also, there was
NaDparent a distinct note of optimism
despite the days mystifying develop

almost unanimous belief prevailed
that France eventually would take
the American figure for her capital
ship allotment, even though she in
sisted on an increase of submarine
tonnage as an offset. For the moment
the negotiations are concerned solely
with capital ships, and to many dele
