TO The PUBLIC
Printing Trades Demand Wage
Increase and Shorter Work Week
TINE employing printers of the Tri-C Cities are
confronted with strike on May lst l9Z!.
The interest of every buyer OF pruning Is
involved in this strike. Should the employing
printers be compelled to raise wages and curtan
production, in the face of declining market the
increase in cost must be passed on to the buyer
of printing.
Some weeks ago the employers committee
met with the union representatives to discuss trade
conditions At this conference the employers
proposed continuance of the present wage scale
and working hours. The union representatives
refused concede that living costs had decreased,
and they presented demands for wage increase
from 80 cents to $1.0O an hour, q reduction in
working time from 48 hours to A hours, and
demand for double time rates for work performed
Saturday afternoons.
These demands were based upon the as
sumption that closed shop printers of the United
States had agreed to shorter work week in Sep"
TENDER, 1919, effective May l. 1921. This agree:
ment had never been entered into by members OF
the Tri-City Manufacturing Printers Association.
Declaration to this effect was made at the con-
ventions of employing printers associated with
the United Typothetae of America, at New York
in September, 1919, and in St. Louis in Feb, 1920
During the war period, in the face of con-
tracts stipulating fixed scale, the employing
printers of the Tri Cities increased wages in some
departments of their plants to over 20 per cent,
and in other departments as high as 100 per cent

Mir. and Mrs. w. K. Burford, nee Belle Hood. who went through Wrangell last week on their way home to Juneau were given a noisy and joyous reception by their many friends in the Capital City. AS the boat neared the dock, they were showered with rice and when they landed, con- graduating friends formed a reg ular blockade.
 A procession of automobiles was formed and the one they oc- cupied was appropriately decor ated with a big sign announcing their marriage. Two coal oil cans bumped the pavements back of the car and the noise was loud enough to apprise everyone of their arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Bur- ford were married in Seattle while attending the U. of w. and are very popular young people of Juneau.

Speaking of advertising, the nursing classes held here during the winter have accomplished something Tn that line because of their exceptional success. A let ter was received this week by the local chapter asking for 9 pie ture of the nursing class, both Native and white. The request came from Miss Douglass of the National Red Cross through the office of the Northwestern Divi- sion and stated that the picture would be appreciated at Wash ington and was to be used in the Roll Call next Fall.
 Pursuant to this request, Mrs. w. w. Mclaughlin, local secre- tary, IS taking steps to have the picture taken Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, outside the Pioneer where the classes were held, and every one who belonged is re- quested to be there promptly at that time, It is excellent adver

Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Condit were southbound passengers on the Alice Friday night. They will be absent from Juneau about three months. Mrs. Condit will visit in California and Washington and Dr. Condit, as superintendent of missions for the Presbyterian Church, will go to Point Barrow, the northernmost point of the North American continent. When he was at Point Barrow last year, Dr. Condit took up materials for a new hospital building that will be used by the whalers, traders, explorers and the white popula- ton that is scattered all the way from Demarcation Point to Point Hope as we'll as the Eskimo pop ulation. The building of this hos pital has progressed very satis- factorily and Dr. Condit will in. spect it and take it over this year for the Board of Missions.
 Dr. and Mrs. Frank Spence who have spent five years of their lives in the care of the people in that cold and desolate region have cited cases of terrible sufferings which are the result of the white mans exploitation of the Native. The health of Dr. and Mrs. Spence has been so impaired that they will be relieved and Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Griest, the latter a trained nurse, will have charge of the hospital. Another trained nurse and a Native helper will consti- ute the rest of the working force.
 The party will leave Seattle on the Victoria, sailing on the 7th of July for Nome from where the balance of the trip will be made on the revenue cutter, Bear.
 While in the north last year, pr. Condit visited the Siberian coast and found that the New York fur quotations were re- ceived there only a day late thanks to the powerful radio ser- vice which has been given that section of the Asiatic continent.

In a letter received from Mrs. George Hatton of Sacramento, California, by her parents, Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Case, Mrs. Hatton states that she saw the finest moving picture there recently that she had ever seen and that she had the surprise of her life. It was the picture taken here of the May Day dances given by the Wrangell School and Mrs. Hatton was able to recognize nearly all of the children whom she knew formerly. It is safe to say that Wrangell, or a portion of Wran- gell, appears in movies oftener than any other town in Alaska.

 I am enclosing herewith 20 sets of circular proposals for the clearing and grubbing. It is requested that several ot these circulars be. posted con- spicuouslv, one copy usually being placed in the post office and that the remainder be handed by you to such persons as may desire to bid on the job.
 You will note that we have assumed your willingness to handle this detail for us. We will let the job to a single bid der, or to a number of bidders in multiples of 100 feet, as may be-fo the best advantage.
 Thanking you for your promptness in handling this matter for us, 1 am,
 Very truly yours,
 JAS. c. STEEsE.

Another inspection of Alaska dairy herds similar to that made by B. C. Barker in 1919, which resulted in many dairy COWS be- ing condemned and killed, will be made this year, according to an announcement made by R. J. Sommers, acting governor. Dr. Trubey of the States Relations Service. Department of Agricul- ture. with headquarters in Port land, Oregon, will make the in- spection and will leave for Alaska at an early date.
