The Land Office.
(Skagway Alaskan. )


 Skagway people have been interested observers in the fight for the proposed removal of the Capitol and Government offics from Junau to the Westward. Generally speaking. however they have remained neu- tral. chiefly concerned with their own immediate affairs Yet in the disposal of the United States Land Office they have direct interest. The arbitrary re- moval of that office from the Capital City and from Southeastern Alaska to the Westward without any notice to the people and the interests most directly affected is but another example of long disance leg slaton from Washington regardless of the needs of the people. Agan it brings up the question of the separation of Southeastern Alaska from the remainder of the Territory The First Judicial Division now has the greater population, it the greater part of the for the Territory, and despite that is getting less and less representation and consideration each year Mining is still the big industry in Alaska and must remain the pioneer industry for years to come and lode mnng-the most permanent kind is most argley developed in Southeastern Alaska. To the Land Office for the sake of prospective homesteads along the Government Railway. if that the main motive, and ignore the great wealth of mining investment that is already an established industry, does not to be good business. It will mean additional expense industry that needs the fullest possible encouragement.

SCab Electricians Do
Bum School Job
(By Federated Press)

Minneapolis-Most of the electrical
work done on the Lincoln Junior high
school, by the Builders Electric Co.,
an open shop concern, will have to be
torn out and replaced, according to
George Womrath, business sunerin-
tendent of the schools.
The electrical contract for this
school was awarded the open shop
contractor over the protests of the
labor unions and liberal member of
the school board.
In his statement condemning the
quality Of the work done on the Lin
coin high school, Womrath states that
inferior materials were used and the
work was done in a slipshod manner.
One instance cited was that wire
conduits were too small and the wires
had to be creased to permit of their
passage. This resulted in the con-
duits being grease smeared, making
them a fire hazard, due to the liabil-
ity of short circuits. Cost of redo
ing the electrical work may run over
a thousand dollars, and the opening
of the school will be delayed.

StrikebreakerS Are
Worthless in Shops
(By Federated Press)

Cleveland -Strikebreaker shopmen
are worthless, according to Whiting
Williams, labor investigator, who told
the City club that the railroad shop
men are winning their strike on many
railroads because railway manage
ment has had to realize that the
strikebreakers are of no value as
workers" Williams asserted that
the most important result of the
strike was "the widespread feeling on
the part of labor that the govern
ment cannot be trusted to play fair"
Williams, who left a position as
vice president of the Cleveland Hy-
draulic Pressed Steel Co., to study
labor problems, classified the men
who took the jobs of the striking
shopmen under three heads. The
first group, he says, consisted of
''finks" and professional strikebreak-
ers who did not work. The second
class was composed of "floaters
grade or two above the hobo" The
third group, of whom there were very
few, was made up of shopmen who
struck their jobs in one city and were
finally forced by hunger to take jobs
as strikebreakers elsewhere. These
were the only strikebreakers who
turned out decent work, he said.
Williams took a job as a strike
breaker to learn the inside facts
about the shopmen's strike.
