Wages and Geography.
(Boston News Bureau.)

(Boston News Bureau)
The degree which sectional competition has
become a conspicuous factor in time of economic
unsettlemens and transition affects much than
such general issues the tariff railroad rates and
taxation. 1t also is receiving good deal of current
illustration in labor relations, affecting particular
industries. There is being evolved relation OF
wage and work-or the lack of it-as between labor
masses in various broad sections.
1t is in this that rather typical brand of
labor union strategy stamps itself, far the per-
manent welfare of it's constituents is concerned as
peculiarly sterile and shortsighted. 1t seeks, like
Mrs Partington to resist the tides of defation. In
that respect it also emulaes the Bourbon in learning
nothing about conditions and forgetting nothing
oughly selfish we'll stupid, in eagerly accepting
the benefit of lower price and levels of Others
particularly the farmers while subborny refusing to
bulge on its own wage schedules.
This brings two sure results during the interval
before nexorabe forces compel compliance with
age-old economic law. One is. the common result
under such mistaken strategy, of fewer no
jobs be had while the old Unfortunately high wage
rates, based and justified by vanished conditions
remain nominally unchanged. Just what good to a
union worker is it know that his union is blocking
wage cut if there is work at the unadjused
level?
The other inevitable outcome is a migration of
orders and perhaps eventually of sZeable elements of
the business, in terms of organization and of
physical plant to other sections of the country where
union domination and stubborness of this not
thus ntrenched, and where the play of defation has
been permitted OF what good again, is it for
union worker to applaud maintenance of wartime
schedules if bring no orders to his fac
tory and town, and eventually the entire business
begins to drift away from the community to which he
has become attached?

SUPPORT CLEANUP WEEK PROGRAM.


Mayor Robertson has designated next week as a
time for cleaning up the town. There should be gen
eral compliance with his recommendations, and CO.
operation along the whole line The owners of prop
erty should make it point to that yards and va
cant lots and alleys adjoining are cleaned
of the accumulation of debris The town should be
put in order that the suns rays may reach the soil
and the grass grow green.
People could very well further. Unusuable
shacks should be down and if good buildings are
not needed their places grass seed should be sown
on the sites that the property would be pleasing
instead of shocking to the sight
Following cleanup week there should be lot of
painting done Juneau has lot of begrmed and
weather-drab buildings that ought to be made to look
spc and fresh
With cities with people cleanliness is next to
Goodness Let's make Juneau clean. Let's make her
pleasing the eye Let's make her appear well
to the tourists and visitors when they come here.
Let's make people say they like the look of Juneau
and would like to locate here. Some of them are
likely to do it if we do.

RAIL TRAVEL MADE SAFER.

Railroad travel in the United States continues to
become safer The accident analysis by the Interstate
Commerce Commission for last year shows the best
record in "a years. The worst in 1907, when
nearly 10000 killed. The total of fatalities in
1921 was something half that. Not counting
trespassers who continue to increase their division of
railroad Deaths the decrease in fatalities among en-
poyees and passengers IS per cent. This
despite the business being onethrd greater
and the freight one-half bigger.
The Commissions statistics said to show that
the increase of safety of railway operation in the is
years has been surpassed and may not have been
equaled in any other country If automobile grade
crossing accidents and respassng could be kept down
the public cooperation, the railroad death list would
be even more strkingly reduced
