May Complete The
 Road By Feb, D5

Actual completion Of the govern ment railway in Alaska will be on Feb. l5. according to Col Mears, chairman of the engineering com mission, who passed thru Seattle re- gently on his way east. He said the formal celebration of the comple- tion of the line will be some time near summer with Secretary Of the Interior Fall, Governor Scott c. Bone. and. it is hoped, President Harding present IL is hoped 10 have President Harding drive the golden spike at that time. The eel ebration will be held at Riley creek, mile 247. near the entrance to Me Kinley national Park. Col MeaTs, while here, conferred with officers of the Alaska Steamship Co. and the Pacific Steamship Co, regarding joint through passenger fares and through bills of lading between Se- atue and points on the railway. It is understood the steamship com panies are cooperating heartily with the railroad commission and that a thru rate which will show most substantial reductions to in terior points will be satisfactory to government officials. There is talk of a thru rate of $40 ton from Se- attle 10 Fairbanks.

 At Seattle (. Club

Juneau Jan. l5.--John Rustgard attorney general fer Alaska charg es the Seattle chamber of commerce refused to allow him to address that organization on Alaska transporta- tion matters. and that Seattle daily papers refused to ! ablish his views on the same subject. He annoumc- es he will shortly tour Southeast Alaska. speaking to commercial or ganizatious in opposition 10 Seattle business interests.
 Speaking at Juneau, Rustgord sad:
 "I am in favor of patronizing Am erfcan industry and American ship ping in preference tO any other, but I am not in favor of permitting the American shipping interests to die tate to us absolutely, charge us rates that are unfair and not in keeping with those charged any where else in the world"
 As an instance yr Rustgard says that the ships cha. ges for shipping canned salmon from Ketchikan to Seattle is $7.5O per ton, with the ship have the choice of charging either weight or measurement rates. The same cargo. he says, can be shipped from Seattle to England or the continent of Europe. through the Panama canal distance of thousands of miles for SIP per ton. He also compares other rates from Seattle to Alaska points, showing that flour and wheat may be ship ped to the United Kingdom for SC gross ton weight, lo Scandinavian ports for SS per tor.. and To the Bal tic for $lO.
 Regarding the shipments of can ned salmon, Mr. kustgurd said he learned in Seattle just before he left there that one company was now offering to carry salmon to Liy- erpool for SC. cutting the old rate in two.
 As to pulp, Mr. EUstgard said the rate from Seattle Co Liverpool was only about 50 cents a ton more than it costs to ship it f-om Southeastern Alaska to Seattle, including the ships charges and the wharfage and other charges which are added on.
 Under these conditions, Mr, Rust gard is in favor of throwing open the competition to Canadian or other boats, but is more particular ly in favor of the passage of the New bill, which would give the sec retary of the interior the right to force a fair freight rate to Alaska, or else put government ships on to handle the business.

Measure of Safety.
cleveland Plain Dealer. J

1t was a difficult task that Congress put up to
the War Department when it cut the size of the army
contemplated by the defense act of two years ago.
That the department is doing its best to solve the
problem is indicated by General Pershings memoran-
dunn Secretary Weeks made public few days ago
The underlying purpose of the Pershing plan is
to make Continental United States mpregnable against
the attack of any conceivable enemy combination
of enemies. 1t is defense measure exclusively.
While the and borders held against invasion
the country could go ahead without fear of inter-
rupon in the larger task of developing capable
of meeting whatever dire emergency the occasion
might threaten.
The General points out that the defensive plan
outlined depends for the present "the large

PRESERVE THE UNIONS But OUTLAW
THE STRIKE.

The Russell Sage Foundation sensible and
accurate when it pointed to the benefits that have
come through organization of labor in the United
States Those who would destroy the labor unions
without Offering anything tic take their place are not
headed toward satisfactory solution of the problems
of employers and employees in this country Work
inemen have right equal consideration with en-
ployers in questions involving wages hours OF labor
ard working conditions That could not be the result
if employers permitted to confer with each
other while aborers would have to act without or
CARNATIONS unity.
However it is absolutely necessary that some sat
isfactory be devised safeguard the rights
of ALL including the public, that will outlaw the
strike as of settling disputes The strike
is method OF force pure and simple 1t is not a
question Of reasoning 1t all 1t permits just one ele-
ment CT the interested triangle to make decisions.
1t eliminates the employers and the public from con-
sideration at all 1t seeks by damaging business,
starving ard freezing and otherwise dscomoding
the public to force its minority-made decisions upon
the majority
The strike is arbitrary and in principle mon
Standardization In Europe it the most sue
cessful method of warfare that communists and So
ciaists the days of revolution Radical lead
ers are daily boastng that if aboring people would
stand together and all strike at once they could
force public give them complete charge of the
country and its industries In ether words, through
it, minority government could be established in the
land
While the unions and the right of workngmen
to bargain collectively should be preserved there
should be impartial and fair authority to settle
disputes with the power to enforce its decisions
and the strike should be outlawed
This is the underlying principle behind Presi-
dent Hardings recent labor to Congress,
