Courts Head This Time.
Canada Gould Be Utilized as
Headquarters for Call.
WAGE CUT OF S1O,OOO,OOO
Next Reductions Are Scheduled
for Sometime This Week.
Rail Labor Board Goes Ahead
With New Slash Order.

Chicago, June 12.-While additional
wage cuts threatened to slash another
10000. 900 from the payrolls of the
carriers, it was rumored today that
any rail strike growing out OF present
threats may be directed and financed
from Canada, to evade the decision Of
the United States supreme court hold
ing unions liable for damages caused
by their members.
Find a Loophole?
Leaders of the rail unions said 70 be
cCntem plating the move viewed the
establishment of Canadian headquar-
ters as legitimate because the unions
are international organizations.
Financial penalties in case of a
walkout could thus be averted il was
said. The expected new wage reduc-
tion order will increase the total cut
from railway workers wages to ap-
proximately $15O,0OO,O0O year.
oilers and marine department en-
ployes will join the shopmen and
maintenance of way employees as vic
Tins of the slash.
Strike ballots to the 100000 railway
shopmen were accompanied by the
following letter:
Every possible effort should be
made to obtain the vote of every en-
ploye eligible. This ballot will be
ia bulated Is soon as possible and there
must be stoppage of work untfl you
are properly authorized to do so.
'"rhis is the time for action and not
talk or unnecessary delay. The rail-
way employees department desires
that every ballot shall be in Chicago
at the earliest possible moment"
Will Strike Anyhow?
'If the union leaders don't call a
strike after it is voted the men will
throw the leaders over" Urban Le-
doux, Mr.. Zero" who auctioned job
less men off, said here yesterday. CIer-
ical forces of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy road numbering 5000.
are said to have agreed in March TO
accept wage cuts avera aging between
and per cent. The agreement was
reached independent of the railroad
labor board. The minimum cut was
one cent an hour but ran higher in
many cases.
Clerks receiving $40 a month in
1917, were cut from their 1920 wages
to $3.50. The minimum under fed
eral control was $3.50.
The application for pay cut for
clerks made to the railroad labor
board asked for reductions running
from 10 to Is per cent.

BUREAUCRATS ACTIVE

Chief Forester w. B. Greeley, through the medium of the Forestry Magazine, which is ap- parently becoming the propaganda medium of the forestry bureaucrats, suggests that Alaska be allowed to continue she is until ready for statehood. However, MT. Greeley fails to- designate time when such condition might be looked for If Alaska is to await the time when she can develop statehood under the present bureaucratic system, then there IS little likelihood that the present generation will live to see the day when her senators and repre- sentatives will sit in Washington.
 It is quite natural that Mr. Greeley in con- sonance with the propaganda bureau at ,Ju- neau whose functions appear to be to mould public opinion against the only measure ever evolved to aid Alaska, should sound a new note by suggesting that Alaska should be cut off from financial aid The old slogan of cen- tralization of power under the Secretary of the Interior has become threadbare and some thing new must take its place.
 Like the platitudinous chorus that has as sailed the ears of Alaskans for the last dozen years, MT. Greeley's pronouncement upon the agricultural and other resources becomes raul cous in consonance of reams of this sort of bosh that has emanated from those who would "do something for Aaska.'
 The public may expect this sort of propa ganda from until the consolidation bill is disposed of, and should not take Mr. Greeley too seriously. The bureaucrats have right to fight for their meal ticket the same as any one else, and they have coterie of disappont- ed office seekers scattered throughout the Ter ritory working to defeat all effort at improve ment-Anchorage Times

1922 TO BE ALASKA YEAR. "

The biggest campaign Seattle will conduct during the coming year will be designed to open up Alaska to capital, settlers and indus try.
 That campaign will be successful because it will be backed by the Harding Administra- ton, upon which devolves the duty of making the Gove1nment-owned Alaska Railroad pay Nineteen twenty two will be "Alaska Year, in Washington State and in Washington, D. c.
 Seattle can help the administration the Territory and itself by helping to speed the unshackling of the Northland.
 We have been talking rather vaguely of the "something' that would happen, as al ways has been the case, to end inaction in this city and start it moving ahead faster in business, population and commerce. During the ten-year period from 1910 to 1920, Alaska's commerce aggregated more than s65O,OO0000 The greater part of this enor- nous business passed through Seattle,
 Yet during the same time the Telritorv's s white population decreased 10,000 or approXi- 1natcIy from 37,000 to 27,000.
 Imagine what would be the volume of it's business were it's white population to increase 100000 in the next ten years, with inevitable development of agriculture and industries!
 Yet, no one who IS acq ualnteQ Wltll the Northand doubts for single moment that if the government encouraged capital and set tiers, Alaska would register an increase of 10000 population annually for the next ten years
 And, even then, its resources would be only in small part utilized!
 The completion of track-laying on the Alas ka Railroad this year was the biggest event in the recent history of Alaska-and also of Seattle
 Passengers and freight now can be sent in from the sea to Fairbanks. But two bridges remain to be built and the steel for one of them reached Seattle several days ago. The other will be pat through soon as this Con- gress appropriates necessary money.
 The railroad means transportation to the Interior It also means such interest in Terri toral development as the government never previously has exhibited.
 The shackles are to be stricken from this enormously rich country. Let Seattle speed the Gberating of the Northland .
 With the opening up of the 'Last American West' to development and settlement, Seat tie will enter upon its greatest period of ex- pansion and prosperity. Bag
 If we make 1922 an ''Alaska Year,'' we also will make it "Seattle Year.! !'-Seattle Times

HONEY PHILOSOPHY

Bernard Shaw, who has made a fat fortune by writing brutal cynicisms, ''is the organiza- tion of idolatry.' Government in democ racy, is by the people and for the people, Without their consent it would not exist. Not liking the blood, or the torture, or the separa- ton of families of the legalized free love, or the starvation of millions, all of which go naturally and freely with Communism, the people of democracies gladly consent to gov ernment. If you call that idolatry, Bernard make the most of it!

 It would seem about time for the various factions in Alaska to bury the and thereby to be a stumbling block in the way of the Territorial reseutatve at Washington.
