IS ALASKA UNANIMOUS

At Vancouver yesterday Attorney General Rustgard announced to Can adian audience that Alaska was gO- ing to make a fight before congress to have Prince Rupert made it's prln- cipal port by deletion of the so-called Alaska clause from the Jones coast wise shipping bill," meaning in other words that AlaskanS were to build up a foreign port and foreign shipping at the benefit of American shipping. We do not believe that Alaska is be- hind Mr. Rustgard'S statement, eSpe- cially if they realize the far-reacnlng effect it would have upon southwest ern Alaska. It was Attorney General Rustgard who few years ago caused S1OO,OOO to be appropriated by the Territorial legislature, to be used in establishing line of government yes sels from Seattle to Seward or some other northern ports. The greater part of this money was spent by Sc attle attorney whom the attorney gen. eral hired to assist him in shifting the small volume of trade from America to Canada. The remainder of the fund was returned to the Territory. For several years our attorney general has kept the territory in hot water fight

LABOR SAFE AND SANE

That Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, now in convention assembled at Port land. is evidenced by the safe and sane legislation enacted. First the convention record as condemning the Ku KluX Klan as un-American, and urging laborites to refuse to join with the Klans; second, it opposed any recognition whatever of the So- viet government, and warned the Se- attle labor council that it must re- scind it's recent endorsement or its charter would be forfeited.
 The convention went even farther than this and unseated Wm. F. Dunne, a hybrid American, editor Of the rad ical Butte Bulletin and a personal supporter of Wm. z. Foster, who is making a tour of the United States, featuring for the Red movement.
 There is a refreshing patriotism eX- hibited bv the convention of labor or ganizations, which is in contrast to their stand at last years convention The labor unions have recognized that it is up to them to hold their members true to the principles Of Americanism as enunciated in the present Portland convention.
 It realizes that it cannot afford to allow the entering wedge of radlcallsm to divide it's ranks, and promptly set down on unpatriotic offenders.

SLIDE ON MOUNT JUNEAU
 DAMAGES LIGHT PLUME

JUNEAU: Land slides on Mt. Ju- neau last night caused damage to the Hume carrying the water supply of the Alaska Electric Light & Power Go. power house to the extent of $1100, according to W. s. Pullen, manager. The Hume was swept out in several places approximating 125 feet. A crew of men is working today to make re- pairs.
 The largest slide occurred about midnight coming down one of the ra- vines on the south end of the noun tain. It stopped within only few feet of the towers of the Alaska Gas tineau company at the base of the mountain, averting damage which would have cut off Juneau's electrical supply entirely.

ka, with no result save to increase the resentment on both sides. It is true that Alaska is heavily burdened by prevailing rates, but the attorney gen. eral has offered no satisfactory plan for our relief.
 And in his propaganda he has not informed Alaskans that no matter what vessels piled to Alaska the rates could not be lowered without consent of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, and that so long as one vessel of a competing line piled to Alaska, it's competitors could not ply here at lower freight rate.
 He has not informed the friends of the proposed scheme that every pound of freight carried through the port of Prince Rupert, while helping the First division. would retard the devo'"-. ment of the Third and Fourth divi- sions. It would build up foreign city at the expense of American cities. It would cause freight and passengers to be carried to Juneau and as far as Skagway on Canadian vessels, and ships would leave Seattle with their holds empty of freight for ports be- low Juneau. There can be no remedy for Alaska until the volume of freight on present lines increases to a point where it can be carried at a lower rate with profit.
 This does not apply to the Admiral and Alaska steamship lines, but to any lines entering the field. If our vessels attempt to compete with the Canadian vessels, t'>~ must employ Japanese and Lascars, as do the ships of the foreign lines. They must sac rifice the lives of hundreds of passen- gers to save a few dollars for their owners, as was the case in the wreck of the Princess Sophia, when passen- gers were refused permission to leave the boat and transfer to American ships standing by. Had this been a local company damages would have been awarded relatives of the victims. As it was the alien company fought the case, and the money found on the victims bodies was dissipated.
 Canadian vessels are not required under their laws to carry the safety appliances carried by American ships. Therefore they do not do so. Do you imagine for an instant that had the Alameda or the Watson been on Van derbilt reef in the place of the So- phia that the captains of these yes sells would have handcuffed their pas sengers to keep them aboard; that not one survivor would have escaped to tell the tale? They would not, and it is safe to say that the larger part of the passengers would have beer rescued.
 Southeastern Alaska should receive no benefits at the expense of the i Third and Fourth divisions. And we | believe that our next legislature
 should pass a memorial requiring al
 Federal officials to patronize Ameri
 can vessels wherever possible.
Seward daily gateway., 1923-10-10

must be some reason for this exodus. It cannot be for the reason of high prices, for one can live in Alaska as cheaper or cheaper than in Seattle. The main reason for the hegira is that our people can no longer make a living here Wages are higher in the States, and the Hunyadi and Polack fill the few remaining jobs.
 Despite the patriotic appeals of our government, it employs mostly aliens on it's railroads. Signs printed in five languages may be found on every sta tion wall informing the alien how to hold his job Americans apparently are not wanted or cannot meet the re- quirements.
 The canneries import their labor, and the only immigration accruing from the thousands of men imported into the territory are those kicked out by the Chinese capnery bosses for violation of rules or refusing to eat the rotten grub furnished. An oc- casional man is picked up by the dep- uty marshals.
 At the mines of the Kennecott Cor poration man underground is in an alien country. He is bossed by a Po- lack, fed by a Montenegrin and put to bed by Japanese or Filipino, and unless he can converse in 57 dialects has about as much chance of making himself understood as he will if he goes to a Mohammedan heaven.
 And yet we hold Americanization programs, chastise the man who does not wave the flag and cheer whenever the national anthem is sung, and invite residents of the land of the free and the brave to compete with our Hunyaks.
 Until this condition is changed our population will steadily drift toward Seattle where at least we can hear a soap-box orator expound the doctrines of the Red government, enjoy an occasional meal in a chop suey estab lishment, and feel at home.

NO JOBS FOR RESIDENTS

Alaska today has less than 10000 white people, and this number is di- minishing rapidly. Of this number a large part are cheechakos who are in the Territory to make their stake and pull out for the states. The remain der are oldtimers who are living in Alaska because they believe Alaska is the best place to live. The prospector has practically vanished from the hills; the hamlets along the Yukon and in the district north of the Yu- kon are practically depleted. There

Clash in Junior SandIot
Series.

The fate of the Young Petworth
team may be sealed today, in a
game at Washington Barracks with
the crack Union Printers, starting
at s p. IN.
Under the splendid leadership of
Heinie Webb, the Printers first won
the national typos title, at New
York, then copped the Departmental
League championship and won the
honors in Section A of the post
season series Of the amateur leagues
of Washington.
They have accomplished little in
the Independent series, but at this
time are playing the best ball they
have displayed all season. The re-
turn to pitching form of the vet
eran Webb has bolstered the
Printers.
There has been a feeling from
the start that the typos would fig

title fight. After losing too many
