THE British miners have been fight.
= ing for more than two months.
They continued their struggle against
reduction of their already pitifully
low wages and the lengthening Of
their workday even after the betrayal
Of their cause by the General Trade
Union Council when the latter called
off the general strike. They have
stood like a rock against the mine
owners and the Baldwin government
which is lighting the battles Of the

WOMEN MIGHT
STUDY CRIME
CONDITIONS
C.. l.. Young. Bar Association
President, Offers This
Suggestion

Minot, \. d.. Feb. II. Up North
Dakota club women might profitably
interest themselves in u study OF
crime conditions and possible cures.
e. l.. Young. bismarck. president of
the state bar association, SAYS in an
article in the official publication Of
: the State Federation OF Women 3
Clubs, off the press today.
''Thc ventures now under way for
the Improvement Of the administ,a-
ton Of criminal justice suggest Il
new field for the study and activity
Of club women" said Young.
"Thc National Crime Commission.
with a distinguished personnel, has
dow" much to make available fat
which will make il possible to take
m.eIAgenN acuOn To improve de-
ploraLlc situation. The first cx-
hAustivc survey undertaken To carry
the movement for more effective en-
forccmcnt Of the law beyond the
stage Of agitation was the Cleveland
Survey Of the Administration Of
Criminal, Justice in 1921, conducted
under the direction Of Dean Roscoe
Pond Of the Harvard Law School.
This was All attempt at statistical
measurement Of the administration
Of the criminal laws. Another cx-
tensive survey was made by the Chi
cago Crime Commission, which as II
result Of its work cOntemDlatcs n

sion OF the state statutes, and par
ticularly those relating to crime.
Organization In Missouri
"A similar movement has resulted
in the organization in Missouri of the
Missouri Association for Criminal
Justice. which has undertaken n thor
ough investigation statewide in its
scope and which has included in it's
plan the purpose Of initiating and
securing the passage Of legislation
and undertaking such other remedial
action. tending to diminish crime and
10 improve the administration of
criminal justice as are suggested by
the findings and recommendations OF
the survey. The organization is
sponsored by some eighty civic and
commercial organizations Of the
state. The most recent commission
of the same character is that appoint
ed by Governor Christianson Of Min
ncsota to investigate the parole syS-
tenn Of that state and the entire field
of criminal law and it's enforcement
and to make recommendation for
revision in the laws or for their move

"The movement is only in its IN
fancy. No doubt similar investiga-
tiens will be made in each of these
states. for the conditions in no two
states will be found exactly iden-
dical and what may amount to All
effective reform measure in one
state may be wholly ineffective in

No dou5t it will be found that the
situation will not be wholly remedicd
by changes in the machinery bf jus

that. Public opinion has been very

one peculiarly inviting for the club

Scores Lax Observance Of Law
In another article Mrs. John D..
Sherman, national president Of the
Federation Of Women's Clubs, calls
attention To the necessity for law
observance and AYERS that "lcgisl a-
ton is futile without enforcement

the American home can countcract

II believe there is a great work
here for American club women, first
in setting "A high moral standard by
unfolding the law in the. home and
the community. and secondly by find
ing out what the local courts arc do
ing to enforce it. and bringing the
strong light of public opinion to
bear upon the matter. Only IN this
way can we combat not only the cX-,

 "L. V Ray, three times mayor of Seward, president of the first Alaska Senate, active in war work, and chair man of the Red Cross, jurisdiction of Seward Siberian boundary, resents the continued malicious islanders by uniformed and ill-advised reformers as to the characters of the citizens of Alaska Ray declares that the Hard ing party and the Cambrai congress sional partly in 1923, Senator Jones, Congressman Hadley, Treadway, Free, White and Senator Dill, all Seward visitors, know law enforcement excel lent. Surprised that any attention is paid to malicious, vlndletive gossip. Assume that present agitation is based upon a desire to get friends upon the Federal payroll. Doctor Clarence True Wilson evidently ob- tained his information from habitual liars. Dr. Wilson is invited to spend two months in Seward and make a personal investigation of the daily lives and habits of our citizens, who support three churches and pastors thereof and who welcome misguided strangers. He also refers to Mrs. W. H. c. Goode and Mrs. Luther Taylor, of the Methodist church, who after personal investigation selected Sew ard for the Jesse Lee Home site.

 Governor Thiele said: "Alaskans are a law-abidfng people with morals as high as anywhere in thes world, as everyone familiar with conditions here . knows. l know to my personal knowl- edge that Wilson's attack is unjusti- fled and without foundation of facts"
 Commissioner Lester D. Henderson said: "The statement that moral con- ditions here are worse than in the greater part of the United States and that Alaska officialdom is in league with law violators is prompted either by desire to wilfully misrepresent or ignorance
 Bishop Crimont said: "I raise my indignant protest against the slander- ous and stupid utterances reported in the charges against Alaska official dom. Conditions, morality and law obedience are good or better than ex- isting elsewhere in the United States and most of civilization"
