HOME CALLS RUNAWAY CIR


Lure of the big city and a chance to
keep the money they earn are given as
the two chief reasons that 1000
missing girls were sought in Philadel-
phia last year, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
"All of the different reasons, however,
would make total as large as the num-
bers of girls we searched for" declared
Miss B. L. Freeman, head of the deten-
ton home. Bad home conditions, de-
sire for adventure, promise of a good
time, or the wish for pretty. clothes
which they might purchase with the
earnings, are some of them.
"Once brought here 80 per cent of the
girls are glad to return home Many
are without funds, and have little
more money than is needed for carfare
Some of them are hungry, all are tired.
We first get in touch with some So
cial organization in their home town.
pastor or church society. and try to
find out their home conditions. There
is little use in sending a girl back to
conditions that perhaps she was justi.
fled in leaving. When arrangements
have been made that assure a suitable
anchorage for the girl in her home city
or village, she is sent back"
That many of the recalcitrant girls
tell "fibs" when they arrive in the
home, was another fact brought out by
Miss Freeman.
Often they have vague reasons for
leaving home. or they assert they have
no living relatives. We keep them until
they tall the truth.

FRIENDS OR ENEMIES
By OLIVER GOLDSMITH


 It is said that the cause of Sen ator Johnson's defeat in North Da- kota was his compromising with his political enemies.
 "Senator Johnson and his fate il. lustrate the course of many profes- sional reformers. They are reform CTS because they think they are or the road that leads to office. They are ready to compromise when they find an easier way to victory"
 People have to learn sooner or later that there are only two classes of people in politics-Friends and Enemies. If we have felt inclined to criticize Dan Sutherland for any thing at all, it was for the fact that he endorsed men who had always been his political enemies, but who, for the time pretended to be his friends, and thus gained his sup port for high public office. Their true relation to him became known il. short time. "Friends and Enc mies'; that is all there are in poli- tics, and when you have to buy 2 friend, you had better let him re- main an Enemy, and stick to your real friends.

FISHERMEN VICTORIOUS
Union Forces Gamers to Con- tirMe Closed Shop-Secure Advance in Price on Red Salmon, Bristol Bay

ASTORIA, Ore., April 12.-The conference of representative of the Alaska fishermen's union and off cials of the Alaska Packers Asso- citation to consider the prices to be paid for salmon in the Bering sea district during the coming season has been in progress in San Fran cisco for several days, but no agree nent has been reached. Advices re- ceived by P. Gerhardt, local agent for the fishermen's union, are that the fishermen have asked S12 cents each for red salmon at Keggiung and Naknek rivers and 9 cents fish at Nushagak river.
 The packers have offered cents at keggiung and Naknek and 719 cents at Nushagak. In other words, there is just 112 cents fish diff ference in the prices asked and those offered. There is no controversy over the run money, the fishermen asking $15O and the packers offer ing that sum. The prices paid for red salmon at those points during last season were 712 cents per fish at Naknek and Koggiung and cents at Nushagak.
 SEATTLE, May 9.-The strike of Alaska fishermen which threatened to tie up the salmon industry for the entire season, was settled yes terday simultaneously at Seattle and San Francisco, the fishermen scoring decisive victory, when signatures were attached to a new three-year shop contract.
 In addition to the closed shop agreement, the men are to receive an increase of one-half cent on all

red salmon taken in Bristol bay.
 The several vessels which have been tied up here by the strike will sail for the north this week with union crews and no further trouble is anticipated.

 Unlses when she was shining. At church, in silks and satins new,
 With hoop of monstrous size, She never slumber'd in her pew
 But when she shut her eyes. Her love was sought, l do aver
 By twenty beauX and more; The king himself has follow'd her When she has walk'd before But now, her wealth and finery fled, Her hangers on cut short all, The doctors found when she was dead Her last disorder mortal. Let us lament in sorrow sore,
 For Kent street we'll may say, That she had lived a twelvemonth She had not died today.

POOLING CONCRESSMEN
SteambOats for Purse-Seiners
 (Article Number 3

kan matters are based largely on transformation directly due to the fact that Congress is not willing to get the truth. Rather, Congress prefers to get it's information from citizens who have a special reason for appearing.
 The cannery and trap men are al- ways there with their attorneys. Last month 1 reprinted part of the testimony of MT. l. N. Hylen, who called himself the secretary of "The Alaska Fishermen's Union" and as such he testified concerning southeastern Alaska. As a matter of fact, MT. Hylen confessed that the only time he fished in these waters was in 1895 when he fished on the Stikine flats near Wrangell.
 The second "expert fisherman who contributed towards the errors of Congressmen is Andrew Furuseth, President of the International Sea- mems Union of America, San Fran cisco.
 He began by saying "Personally l have never used purse seine and have never been a number of a crew of vessel that used it; so that I have no practical experience in purse seining." Page 307.
 Then on page BIO he says: "The purse seine is a very expensive out fit; it takes an expensive boat, powerful boat, and very big seine, and quite number of men to handle it. In other words, it can only be used by few people with a certain amount of servants with them, or employees with them. It is meth cd of fishing that belongs to the rich, the capitalistic element, specifi- cally So that to say the purse seine will give a common right of fisheries is simply to say that ev- erybody can be President of the United States. That is true, but everybody cannot be elected. Laugh- ter). And so that clears that out so far as l am concerned."
 Then on page 312 he says: "I suppose the outfit of the purse seiner runs up to $25,000 or $30,OOO, or more than that, because the boat, perhaps, would make it run up to $5O,OOO, or even more than that.
 MT. Free. The net and the boat?
 MT. Furuseth. The net and the boat; you have got to have both. Now the net itself, the purse seine must have a value, surely of about 10 gill-nets at least. I do not know. 1 never did any of that.
 MT. Free. The purse seine itself; what is it worth?
 MT. Furuseth. WELL, YOU HAVE SOME WITNESSES HERE WHO HAVE OWNED PURSE SHINES
