 Tt is our judgment that during the coming year Alaska will play conspicuous part in the affairs ol the nation and the purpose of this 1 trip is to gain as much first hant | information as it is possible to ab sorb.
 "The first impression one gets Is of magnificent distances and tremen dous potential resources. While it 1! important to preserve natural beauty for national playgrounds. it would seem that the tremendous forests o Alaska are sufficient to keep mum Der of pulpmills running and at tho same time not destroy the natura beauty and charm of the Territory As we have read much of Alaskan resources. of it's great mines. it's az ricultural land, it's magnificent wa ter power, and it's inspiring noun tains and rivers we have come to SC, them for ourselves.

The moving of headquarters of the U. s. Bureau of Education for Alas ka from Seattle to Juneau is favored by Dr. Jno. J .Tigert, U. s. Com missioner of Education, if conditions might warrant Juneau the most logi' cal center, he declared today, Tn discussing the work of the Bureau in Alaska. So far and at the present time Seattle has been maintained as the Alaska headquarters on ac- count of it's proximity to the field of teachers and supplies for the Gov ernment schools, which cannot be obtained in the Territory, he said.
 In accordance with the present. system no teachers are employed until they have been met personally by w. T. Lopp, superintendent. Sc far it has been impossible toobtain coal and lumber in the Territory, which are two of the largest items of supplies.
 Personally I would be glad to see the headquarters of the Alaska of. flee moved from Seattle to Juneau if conditions were such this place could afford efficient acsiNn ill car rying on the work of tia office, said Dr. Tigert.

is not practical is the fact that some great British plants voluntarily in have grown stronger and stronger with the passing years, under policy which Judge Gary and his fellow steel magnates persist in solemnly 'contending cannot succeed.
 Change Increased Production. {.
 Not, is this all of the story of Brit There has actually been an increase I2 to the eight-hour day necessitated employing more men, but it also was found that in the more modern plants it didn't greatly increase the cost of steel per ton.
 |. Dr. H. M Vernon of the Industrial Fatigue Research Board of the Brit ish Government found in 1920 that open hearth steel furnace plants gained from fl to IS per cent in production when they reduced the working hours from I2 to eight. On the shorter shift there is less wasted time and greater output per man per hour
 In most British steel plants work is ended at I o'clock Saturday after moons and not resumed until Sunday night. What would the I2-hour slaves |of Pittsburgh, Bethlehem, Gary and other steel hells say to that? \
 With the eight-hour day has gone the organization of the steel workers and employment of harmonious rela- tions between employer and employe. For a period of 25 years there has not been a strike or lockout in the British steel industry, despite the many struggles in other British in dustries. The manufacturers, through their association and the men, thr ough their iron and steel trades federation, have formed the habit of dealing with each other and both sides find that 1t pays>
 Similar Results in U. s.
 From the foregoing summary of how the British steel industry has fared under the eight-hour day, it is evident that Britain has learned facts that the American steel trade has scarcely begun to appreciate in the slightest degree. That a beginning has been made here, however, is in rado Iron & Steel Company, already Iron is finding that the eight-hour day brings result similar to these ob- tained in Great Britain, as is indi- cated by the following quotation from Ia letter by J. F. Welborn, president of the company:

BRITISH STEEL INDUSTRY FINDS IT PAYS TO WORK
 HOURS INSTEAD OF l2
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., July 2o-"The Lords of Steel have hearkened and have pledged themselves to end the 12-hour day in industry. =. Steel has made a wise decision"
 So says the Philadelphia Public Ledger The Ledger is right, Steel has made a wise decision, if decision it really is. On this point the Ledger, in common with leading newspapers all over the country, calls for the Steel Corporation to make good, say ing
 posed to wait for hard times or the opening of the gates to immigration Ito see it carried out. Steel will be expected to act in good faith. The Co ooo men needed can be found if Steel wants to find them and looks for them"
 Even the anti-labor papers are de- claring that the I2-hour day must go. Witness Munsey's reactionary Sun, which under the heading "The Doomed Twelve-Hour Day" points out that the change to the eight-hour /shift can be effected without great difficulty as many practical steel men have demonstrated in the. most con- vincing way possible-by doing it.
 Britain Shows the Way.
 Meanwhile, as Steel promises and promises, to "be good"-some day evidence continues to pile up that the steel industry can live and thrive on the eight-hour workday. Added to the testimony of the Colorado Iron & Steel Company and other former I2-hour industries in the United States that they are operating with success under the eight-hour day comes the information that almost the entire steel industry of Europe is now operated on eight-hour shifts The few exceptions are in countries where the industry Is of very small importance.
 Particularly striking is the case oi Great Britain, which had had the eight-hour day in effect since 1919 None of the men want to go back to the I2-hour day and few of the em- ployers do. This raises the question "Carp it be that British steel workers are different from American steel workers, who are said by the steel magnates to love the I2-hour shift ?? Labor men answer by declaring that the British steel workers are much like the American workers, who, they say, would be only too glad to put in a workday that would enable them to live as human beings, not as mere cogs in a soulless machine.

troduced the eight-hour day more than 25 years ago, and, like a cer- tain celebrated product of their land, are "still going strong" These plants output, were satisfactory, and where conditions have been comparable, 1t has been evident that we have lost nothing either in producing cost or output by reason of the change.
 At blast furnaces the labor cos. per ton, immediately following the introduction of the eight-hour day with the increase of 10 per cent. in wage rates, increased slightly over one per cent. above former costs. At open hearth furnaces 1t increased one and one-half per cent; while at our rolling mills there was substantial reduction in the labor cost per ton.
 Eight-hour Shift Rooms Output.
 Recent careful analysis of ope- rating. results between various 12 and eight hour work periods have been made and show these results to be even more satisfactory than we had realized/before. The trend of production per man hour, with unim- portant exceptions, have been upward sine the adoption of the eight-hour day; and in every department of our steel manufacturing operations, from blast furnace to the wire mill, our production per man hour is now greater than 1t was when all of these activities were operating on the I2- hour shift Comparing these results of the last few months with periods of similar production when basic rates were 10 per cent. lower than current rates and the, working time I2 hours per day, we find that almost without exception our labor cost per ton IS lower than in the earlier periods.
 Furthermore. whenever the ques- ton of change made in the length oi the working day has come up for discussion between officials and em- ployes' representatives, satisfaction with the change has been expressed by the employees. It is obvious, there fore, that our change' from a I2 to an eight hour day was practical and has been successful
