Printers Settle
 8-Months Strike
Binghamton, N. Y., Sun, Bitter Open
 Shopper, Finally Gives In.

Binghamton, N. Y., Nov. 18.-After eight months a partial compromise of the printers strike in this city has been af- fected.
 On March B. 800 members of the Typo graphical Union struck for an increase of $5 and $7 week of forty-four hours The Binghamton Press, Binghamton Sun, Vail Ballou Publishing Company, Johnson City Publishing Company and the Kennedy Morris Publishing Company refused to accede to the demand and es- tablished an open shop.
 Recently The Sun was purchased by Former Representative William H. Hill. who is also head of the Johnson City Publishing Company, and last week compromise was effected with The Sun under which the union printers returned to work at the wage scale they were re- ceiving from the paper when they struck. The other establishments remained firm in the declaration that they will continue the open shop.

ganiZatlOnS to conduct their business as Is not i'll violation of laws or contrary to public policy. The Judges decision, ii negative to this generally recognized principle, Is far-rcaching and establishes a point not hitherto considered by the courts, that subordinate lodge Is per 1nitted to go into court before first ex- hausting all of the recourse provided by the international union.
 The second reason is that Judge Cochran in this case directs that a pub liCation of the international union shall publish the decree This is not only un- precedented but establishes a rule, If per mitted to stand, that seriously involves the right of free press. Quoting the decree:
 "'That the defendants, as executive officers and Directors of the Interna- tional Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union of North America, do publish or cause to be published in the September edition of The American Pressnan this decree in full and furnish copy of same by mail to each and every member of the said International Union.'
 In this case, the Board of Directors does not edit The American Pressman, the official journal of the order. Never theless, tRe board, separate and distinct from the publication, is ordered to print it.

KANSAS STRIKERS
 MISLED, SAYS LEWIS

Washington, Nov, I8.-John L.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, when informed that the Illinois mine workers had adopted a resolution at their Peoria convention to support financially the unauthorized strike of their fellow workers in Kansas, said the Illinois miners had been misled "by few ranting demagogues.

FRESHMEN ANSWER INJUNCTION ORDER
 AGAINST UNION
Take Issue With Ruling Restraining 2 Them From Expelling
 Chicago Local.

The International Printing Pressmen $ union has made public an annotated an- a1ysis of the injunction writ signed by Federal Judge Cochran in the United States Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, in which the union was permanently enjoined from expelling the Chicago Union No. } and from taking other steps.
 This writ also enjoined the Interna- tional Printing Pressmen from paying any sums of money whatsoever to Clinch- field Hydro-eectric Power Company, a be i'll Tennessee corporation" and de clared several local branches of the union to be in good standing with the inter national body.
 There are two reasons why 1 am sub- mitting this matter,' said George L. Berry, the President, who was named as one of the respondents in the action the first because of the publicity given the case and the vicious allegations of misrepresentation of funds by the Board of Directors, all of which have not only been proved to be untrue but without foundation.
 Secondly, if the decree of Judge Cochran Is permitted to stand, 1t involves two great principles: the right of vol untary labor, fraternal or benevolent or

their location at Nenana would have the greatest possible strategic value by reason of the central To- cation of the town, with rail and water connection with all points in Central Alaska and the coast
 The suggestion that one of the buildings on the railroad reserve be made use of to house Nenana's postoffice comes from source, it occurs to us, which does not hold public convenience in high regard, for more undesirable location for that purpose could not easily be found. The suggestion has more the appearance of an effort on the part of some one to blind the powers that be at Washington to the fact that very considerable part of the railroad money was used to erect permanent structures wa;c the Alaskan Engineering commission is HOW desirous of unloading on some other branch of the government. If the buildings are not now needed for railroad purposes, then it is obvious that their construction in the first place was mistake, for much less costly buildings would have served as we'll for temporary occupancy.
 If the people of Nenana want their postoffice to remain within the limits of the town proper, the time appears to have arrived to get busy Somebody is rocking the boat.

at large. In order that I may be clearly understood in this matter, I beg to submit the police records of the municipalities of the United States show that 95 per cent of these depredations are committed by returned soldiers, not because they are criminals at heart, but because they have been driven to this ex- treme necessity through the failure of the people to make good their promises to those men who were will ing to make the supreme sacrifice. while others of us remained at home in perfect security. Hundreds of thousands of these ex-service men are walking the streets unemployed and it is indeed bitter pill they are forced to swallow when they reflect that, during the war, the high wages and they were at the front suffering the torments of hell, only to return to the country of their ideals and to be suddenly for gotten by the people who promised them everything under the sun be- fore they went to the front. In many of the cities every effort is being made to place these eN-service men in employment and. as con- sequence, all married women hold ing positions, either municipal, county or state, have been request ed to resign, and this has been fol- ! lowed by large business concerns who appreciate the justness of the claims of these men. It is to be hoped that some solution of this problem will be met speedily. as we are most certainly bound, as na- tion, to make good our promise to these men, to all of whom We are

COMMUNICATION.
x yxsrHvHx H e e . H = = s |.
 Nenana, Feb. 13

Editor News:
 It is the usual custom to report an interview from those Alaskans direct from the Outside, and in many instances the interview is brief, not covering the essentials directly concerning those of the In- terior. In compliance with your re- quest that I state conditions as I observed them on the big Outside, and insofar as they are bearing on the future of Alaska, the following, I trust, will be of interest:
 First of all, permit me to say that in all details the people of the Interior of Alaska are at this time the most contented and the best satisfied aggregation of mortals to be found anywhere within the boundaries of the U. s. A., for the very simple reason that the strife and competition for existence has never as yet permeated our social existence, and it would be very good form for all Alaskans to consider soberly any inclination to go Out side and enter this competition at this particular time.
 We, of the Interior, are vitally concerned as to the substantial re- duction of prices on staples and can assure you that this is an as- sured fact-during the Christmas holidays it was a common sight to see the store windows placarded with signs offering the goods for one
 third and one-half off, and, at that
 merchants complained that the holi.
 day trade was very poor, and that people confined themselves to the
 purchase of only useful gifts. The prevailing price of staples had reach. ed pre-war levels the first of the
The Nenana daily news., 1921-02-19

year. Mems clothing, as represented by the ready-made standards of Hart Schaffner & Marx and Kuppen- heimer, had dropped to $40 per suit, as against S75 per suit, the price demanded at about the same time year previous; and likewise sim liar reduction in women's apparel. With all this reduction in prices, loss is sustained by the merchant who has been compelled to move his stock at loss in order to meet this after-war depreciation of stock purchased by him at the highest market price in the history of the country. No credits are extended, and the business man is forced to the necessity of having the ready cash to tide him over this financial depression and therefore must move his stock at decided loss n order to have some funds available to meet his obligations It has been argued that the merchant took large profits during the war period, but close study of the facts is sufficient to demonstrate that the merchant was the goat, along with the pur- chasing public, in as much as the profits on high prices finally reached a common fund and the man in bus- ness on the Outside finds himself at this time in the position of having done a volume of business at in Hated prices and at apparently big profit-taking, facing bankruptcy and unable to meet his operating ex- penses.
 The farmer is likewise feeling the pinch. Livestock was high and it was thought it would remain high and, as consequence, the farmer held his corn and grain to feed to his stock. He finds that he has been
 feeding s1.50 corn to stock that are
 now at the very lowest level-hogs
 at 512 cents and steers at ' cents.
 This will no doubt look good to Alaskans, who may see in this cloud a silver lining of 35-cent bacon in the near future.
 Now with reference to one of the most unusual crime waves in the history of the country, I am con- strained to deal with this matter
 with considerable amount of deli cacy for the very apparent reason that it touches upon a matter most
 vital to the integrity of the country

The News believes in protecting

The News believes in protecting the American manufacturer, but we do not think it is fair to the public to provide protection which makes it possible for manufacturers to compel their American customers to pay one price while the same articles are offered tc foreign buy CTS at much lower price. That is one of the great evils of our pro- tective tariff and Congress should devise some means of preventing such grating, for that is really what it amounts to.
 And what, in our opinion, is still more unfair, is the granting of protection to manufacturers by the enactment of tariff legislation, and refusal to grant protection to Ameri- can labor by the limitation of im- migration. Under the present system it is possible for American employ CTS to make use of the cheap labor of Europe. which is flowing into America in an endless stream of immigration, thus forcing American workers to lower levels of wages and living, while the protected manu- facturers reap the rich harvest of their protection.
 We believe in protection, but not that sort of protection which oper- ates to the disadvantage of Ameri- can workers. We have had enough of proft-hogging. Let there now be more consideration given to the rights of those whose labor makes profits possible.

.Alazkans should get behind Sen ator Chamberlain, of Seward, in his move to induce the federal gov ernment to do some drilling on gov ernment-owned oil lands. The gov ernment needs oil for its navy; 1t needs the money that producing wells on government-owned lands will some day pour into the federal treasury in the form of royalties. That Alaska has oil has already been demonstrated at Katalla-oil of much higher grade than is pro duced by Texas and California. And we have the opinion of experts in the employment of the government that oil will be found in other To- calities.
 There will come a time. we be- He'e, hIleH oil pIouuttiVH "iI oe Alaska's biggest source of income, but development, if left entirely to private enterprise, will necessarily be slow because of the great cost of prospecting in isolated regions and the fact that ownership of oil land. cannot be obtained by individ- uals or corporations. Under the cir cumstances, it is not an unreason- able request that is voiced by the Seward legislator, and we hope that his colleagues at Juneau, and all other Alaskans will give him their support. If the government will bring in one well for us in any one of the unprospeeted fields. the future will take care of itself.
