though in many cases they have stat

The evidence frequently indicates
that private commercial interests have
used the Legion's members and the
Legion's name for their own ends,
But the exhibit faithfully reflects the
spirit which dominates the American
Legion as a whole" .
The ten cases Of mob violence, all
of which occurred between November,
1919, and May, 1921, were at Oak
land, Los Angeles and Carpenteria,
Calf; Great Bend, Kansas; Missouri
Valley, Iowa; Bayonne, N. j.; Gin

cases in Pennsylvania, two in Iowa

G0MPERS NOT
IN FAVOR Of
WAGE COURTS
Claims Harding Fails
to Understand Labor
Conditions at Present.
Calls Attention to the
Situation in Kansas
Where Law Is Used.

Washington, Dec. 6-President
Harding's suggestion, made in his mes
sage to congress. Tuesday, for court
to decide wages and conditions Of en-
ployment, was declared to be "rever-
sion to conditions obtaining more than
400 years ago." in statement issued
Tuesday night by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor.
Does Not Understand.
"The presidents message is in most
RESPECTS an admirable documents" the
statement said, but he, like altogeth
er too many men, fails in his under
standing Of relations between workers
and employers, of the aspira-
tions which were in the hearts and
minds of the great mass OF our peo.
pie.
Indeed, the presidents proposal
for the establishment of court with
legal powers to decide as to wages
and conditions of employment, is moth
ing more or less than u reversion back
to the conditions obtaining more than
400 years ago when the court of quar-
ter sessions determined the wages OF
workers and prohibited them from ask
ing for more or employers from pay
ing more than the courts decision and
to condemn men to compulsory servl-
tude and slavery if they resented in
any way the decision of the courts.
Refers to Kansas.
"It is quite evident that the presi-
dent has in mind the establishment of
a court or courts to determine the con-
dition and wages of working people and
evidently with the aim that these
courts will prevent strikes and lock
outs. Surely the experience of such
courts in the Australian countries,
and the experience with such court
in Kansas, should have been lesson
for us. In New Zealand and in other
Australian countries they have gone
through the experience Of more than
20 years and their utter failure has
not only been recognized there but
they have been abandoned. In Kansas
where such a court has been in ex-
istence for two years there are today
more strikes and more men on strike
than at any time in the history of
Kansas"

dressed to Kennedy and ranged ir

ALASKA NEEDS
MORE PEOPLE
AND CAPITAL
Development of Coun-
try Held'Back by Lack
of Necessary Factors.
Recommends Passage
of Liberal Mining and
Land Regulations.

Washington, Dec. 6.--More liberaliz-
ed laws with an administration CO.
| ordinated and brought nearer home is
the paramount need of Alaska, Gov
ernor Scott c. Bone said in his first
annual report made public Tuesday by
the interior department.
'Capital and people are required to
develop the resources of the territory, y
he said, s.and until it is made easier
for these two necessary factors to OBJ
tain foothold the territory win not
progress. Under the present long
range system of government individual
initiative has been halted and the pio-
neer spirit MANNED"
centraIize Administration
To promote efficiency by minimizing
delays, the governor recommends that
the administration be centralized at
Juneau, the territorial capital. to the
fullest extent possible while govern
ment supervision be maintained at
Washington with the various bureaus
dealing with the territory consolidated
under one departmental head. He sug
gests also that each essential bureau
station representative at Juneau enl-
powered to act on all matters not at
fecting public policy.
Constructions met by capital seek
ing investment and by people inquest of
homesteads have been lessened some
what in recent years." the governor
says. but by no means removed. Both
capital and people are entitled to a
fairer chance than they have ever had
in the past
More Liberal Laws
The governor recommends:
Liberal mining and land laws framed
to meet distinctive and divergent con-
ditions in Alaska.
A colonization plan to be worked out
in conjunction with the operation of
the government railroad to bring under
cultivation the vast area of agricultural
lands in the interior.
Improved transportation facilities and
more equitable freight rates, through
private enterprises, if obtainable, and
under governmental regulation and con-
troll.
More liberal mail subsidies to enable
the postoffice department to function
in Alaska and thus aid in the solution
of transportation problems.
Continued conservation and safe
guarding of the fisheries in Alaska.
Uninterrupted construction of roads
and trails throughout the territory.
Allotment of at least one-half of the
net revenue derived from the seal in
dustry on the Pribilof islands.
Country Not Growing
An appropriation of 100000 to sup
plement the $155,000 funds now avail
able for the construction of an admin
istrative and executive building in
Juneau.
Governor Bone says the territory is
not growing numerically, its population
having decreased 10000 during the last
decade to $4,000 and that it has not
progressed or prospered during the last
fiscal year. or, indeed, since the con-
clusion of the world war. Both placer
and quartz mining have been checked
by adverse financial conditions while
the fishing industry has declined due
to the everlasting of the waters dur
ing the war.
