Give Odd Reasons
For Boost in Pay
Express Co. Workers

New York, Dec. 22.-(P)-Hoboes,
holdup men and wet fish were cited
today as three of many reasons why
$4,000 employees of the American
Railway Express Company should
receive a lie an hour wage increase.
The robbers, tramps and fish, a
board of arbitration was told, ell
come under the head Of Increased
hazards to life
Terrence Gallagher, for the last
fifteen years in the vehicle service
of the express company, testified
that men working on trucks have
practically no protection against the
elements. Handling wet fish he con-
sidered conducive to colds and rheu-
matism and the danger from hoIdups
in New York while handling valu-
able goods he thought should be
taken In consideration.
Hoboes are a great danger to mes
sengers on board express trains, SAID
G. Fl. Nicholson, general chairman
of the brotherhood for the midwest
district. Other dangers, he said, were

BOYLE WITHDRAWS

The withdrawal or MT. Boyle as Democratic nominee for delegate to Congress, formal announcement of which is contained in telegraphic advices eceived from Juneau today, does not come as a surprise. It merely confirms rumors which have been in circulation during the last several months and which have grown more persistent in recent weeks as the result of the failure of MT. Boyle to take any part in the campaign or indicate that he might he expected to become active later on. The withdrawal will be a dis appointment to many of MT. Boyle's friends who supported his candidacy in the primaries and who stood ready to give him continued support, but it must be admitted, oven by his staunchest followers, that there was small hope to bring about his election; in view of the developments since the primary election, he may be justifid in re- fusing to continue in the race while many Democrats who should sup port him have identified them selves with the independent faction
 But there are many who will be- lieve that MT. Boyle is not the vic tim of the circumstances he de- scribes but really a party to poli- tical move which has as its purpose the strengthening of the candidacy of the independent candidate. Whether Or not it will have that eff feet will be disclosed at the polls in November.-Anchorage Times.

 One of the smelly stunts of this administration was the firing of Capt. Crowly, head of the Emergen- cy Fleet Corporation. The Cool idge majority of the U. s. Shipping Board didn't like Crowly because the said Cowly had so managd af- fairs that the government merchant marine was really becoming useful and on fair run to make money. This would never do. Making money out of anything is a privilege only of the plunderbund. This bunch of financial pirates has ordained that

the merchant marine fleet must be given over to them for little or nothing and, unless there's big holler made by all of just ordinary folk, we'll have no ships. Through Crowly's efforts the Dollar family of steamship owners had to pay a third more for the government yes sels, they recently purchased, than they originally bid. This was ter rible-for the gouging aggregation. The money lords dug up, scraped up and piled up anything they to hinder successful management and operation of the railroads during the war.

 ties. The slogan of these so-called Americans is organization of a white mans party" Control by means of stirring such hatreds will retard development of the Terri tory more than anything else SO far attempted. The level of citi zenship to which this leadership has stopped is in keeping only with it's un-American propaganda.
 When our government was form ed our forefathers sought to build a government upon the rock of freedom. Today attempts are be- ing made to substitute prejudices for liberty granted us. The most serious menace to the welfare of the American people today is the unreasoning prejudices aroused. In every department of poblic life we find it a dominating factor.
 It is said Governor Smith cannot be President because he is a Cath ollie. When President Taft cane in- to political limelight objections be- cause he a Unitarian. On demand of the men who won the war for American independence, the first amendment to the Constitution was adopted asserteing that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or pro hibiting the free exercise thereof find due to the same cause.
 Politics has become so warped and twisted by hates and fears which have no bearing on actual problems of government that it is an institution to be feared. For gotten is the spirit of freedom and tolerance without which our gov ernment could not have been founded.
 In Texas Mrs. M. A. Ferguson be- came governor because she was heralded as opposed to the Ku Klux Klan. Not for any especial ability or worthy administration platform. The administration of Ma" Fer guson probably is the poorest of any in the history of any in that State. Racial distrust we find SUD- porting religious distrust. The sole cause of failure of Statesmen to permanently settle war debts we find due to the same cause.
 Dominated by a class of men de- string political control for their own selfish gain; under domination of such assinine prejudices, we shut our eyes and ears and forget how to operate our own minds. So long as we permit such misunder- standing to smother our faculties, we are not capable of self-govern- ment.
 Many times have these waves of racial and religious prejudices be- set the land damning the American people. Out of them have come no good We hate members of other churches and religions but we con- tinue to preach the doctrines of Jesus Christ.
 Participation in the World War has demonstrated Americas ability to take care of herself and to with altuu IuC 0AOI IO O1 oChOl pOWSA0 CO destroy her. But injury to America, and destruction, can come from within. In many places we find al- legged 100 percent Americans fanat- ically striking at the government they pretend to serve, through pre- judices.
 The foundation stones of our government are religious liberties and political independence. Colon ialists came to the Americas to es- cape religious intolerance of moth CT country. Others have come to our shores since to escapeeconomic slavery and to escape prejudices
