Frank A. Metcalf, Juneau civil engineer and U. s. min- eral surveyor. who spent a large part of last summer in this district in connection with mineral surveys, was an arriv- al from the capital city We'd nesday. MT. Metcalf expects to remain in this locality during most of the summer Discuss ing the patenting of min eral lands, MT. Metcalf said that local claim owners are commencing to realize the many advantages of secur- ing patents for their claims as soon as the required work is performed and he expects very busy season.
 Referring to his home town, MT. Metcalf said Juneau is livelier than it has been for years, owing largely to the inn pending big pulp develop ments in that locality. Proper ty values are increasing and much building is in progress; the program including a big cold storage plant, a costly Masonic temple a $100,000 schoolhouse, an American Le- zion building and many small CT structures. Two blocks of new street paving was also in stalled this spring and more is planned.

UphOlds Minimum Wage
Act

By international Labor News Service.
Montreal.-The validity of the first
order under the male minimum wage
act of British Columbia, which had
been challenged by the British Colum-
bia Lumbermen's Association, has
been upheld by the court of appeals
of the province. The judgment dealt
with an appeal against the convic-
tion by lower courts Of lumber firm
for paying employees less than 40
cents an hour, the rate fixed by the
minimum wage board fcr the lumber
industry.
Counsel for the company contended
the board should conduct systematic
inquiry into all industry before MAX
ing an order. The court of appeals
held this was not sound construction
Of the act which intended that the
board should hold inquiries and make
orders from time to time, otherwise
The act would be unworkbale.

PRIMARY ATTACK
Seen as Big Menace to
Union Labor By TObin

By International Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind.-Organized labor
will be hurled back 40 years in its
struggle to establish industrial justice
if the present attempt to abolish the
direct primary succeeds, in the opinion
of Daniel ]. Tobin, president of the
international Brotherhood of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America and treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Tobin struck back at Vice Pres
ident Dawes for his recent speech at
tacking the primary, terming the at
tack "the most cynical and audacious
ever made upon American principles
of democracy"
Leaders of the General Dawes type
frankly assert that they would re-
store the old convention system in
order to place controlling power in the
hands of party leaders," said Mr..
Tobin. "Their program would rob
labor of all hope of friendly legisla-
ton. Party politicians invariably
give chief consideration to the men
from whom campaign contributions
come, and make concessions to labor
only when compelled to do so. The
primary gone, labor's means of COM
pulsion would be gone.
PARTY politicians have been having
things their own way SO easily of late
years that they think they can get
away with anything. They complain
frankly that the primary-even when
they control it-makes too much
trouble for them and costs too much
Such effrontery, such contemptuous
attitude toward the voter reveals that
he has sunk to low estate, indeed
The voter now has a voice in nomina.
tions and elections and presumably is
all-powerful; yet we see such practi.
cal politicians as General Dawes
1outing him without fear.
"If the workers of America, both
organized and unorganized, do moi
arise and put down all attempts tc
wreck the primary, they are going
to suffer. The open shop and low
wage advocate will win all the favors
when politicians have frightened Their
grip in this way. Every measure o1
protection the workers have ever wor
will be swept away. Big busines.
prefers exploitation of labor to al
other methods for piling up quicl
profits and big business always sways
politicians.
"The child labor amendment, anti
injunction legislation and all othel
aims of labor will be dead if the pri
mary goes down.
"Surely this is one measure OF
which all workers can unite, regard
less Of the bunk and hokum that viii
be used to mislead them"

If there were a revolution or re-
bellion in France, would American
armed forces invade that nation to
protect American lives, property and
interests, as the white house asserts
American forces are doing in Mica
ragua?
Hardly. France has frequently in
dulged in destructive revolutions and
revolts since the founding of the
United States, and in all probability
these disorders have endangered
American lives and property, but the
United States has never seen fit to
invade France.
Does the fact that France is a
powerful nation of 40,000,0OO people
and that Nicaragua is weak nation
of only 100000 people have anything
to do with the difference between our
policy toward the two countries? 1t
is hard to get away from the lively
suspicion that such is the case.

DOESN'T SET WELL

There are indications that the plan
to refund $250,0OO,00O to income tax
payers is likely to encounter snags in
the channel The fact that the pre-
ponderance of the money would go
into the pockets Of few plutocrats
who don't need and never, in their
dreamiest moments expected, it does
not make the public over enthusiastic
for the measure.
Then there are the farmers who
are seeking relief and say they must
have it. They have some representa-
tion at Washington. These represen-
tatives are likely to have something
to say about the time the PROPOSE
tion is seriously made to make that
refund.
The capitalists who would like the
refund are extremely influential in
Washington. They have been accus-
toned to having their own way in
legislation. Now that their cupidity
has been aroused they are not likely
to relinquish the prospects of the
juicy refund. The farm bloc of the
South, joined with the farm bloc of
the West, will form the snag that
doubtless will wreck the ship of their
hopes.

WAGES RULE
OF Supreme Court Opposed
By Labor

Albany, N. Y.-The executive coun-
Gil of the State Federation Of Labor
favors an amendment to the state
labor law that would overcome the
effect upon it of the decision of the
United States supreme court in an
nulling the Oklahoma prevailing rate
of-wages law. Attorney General OF
finger has ruled that the decision ad-
versely affects the New York law.
The amendment would provide a
plan for ascertaining prevailing
wages" and includes an automatic
penalty for violation, and guaranteed
recovery by employees of the differ
ence between wages paid and the le-
gal rate on public work.
In the Oklahoma case the supreme
court ruled that the term "current
rate of wages" is not explicit, and
that criminal proceedings must be bas-
ed on specific charges Of wrong doing
The court cited varying wage scales
paid in the vicinity in which the
offending contractor operated.
"To construe the phrase current
rate of wages as meaning either the
lowest rate or the highest rate or any
intermediate rate or, if it were pos
sible to determine the various factors
to be considered, an average of al
rates, would be as likely to defea'
the purpose Of the legislature as t.
promote it," the court said.
The court also objected to the terms
"neighborhood" and "locality" il
which the law was to operate.
"Both terms are elastic and, de
pendent upon circumstances, may b.
equally satisfied by areas measured
by rods or by miles" the court said.

JAILED MINER is
FREE; RECALLS
COAL STRIKE

Charleston, w. Va.-Governor Gore
has released Edgar Combs who was
sentenced to life Imprisonment be-
cause of his connection with the
march of miners in 1921 from Kama
wha county in to Logan county. A
year ago Coombs' sentence was COM
muted to IL years imprisonment.
The governor said he believed with
the coming of the new year it was for
the best interests of West Virginia to
leave behind all feeling over indus
trial troubles.
Combs is the last of hundreds of
miners who were arrested on various
charges in connection with the march
into Logan county. That section was
dominated by non-union coal opera
tors, and their use of the machinery
Of the state almost precipitated civil
war.

Machine production is q collective
If all work together
there may be perfect coordination
without waste. If any group or in
dividual insist upon going his own
way, the total output slows down.
In order that there may be CO.
operation, there must be mutual con-
fidence and understanding of each
others point of view. Herein lies
the necessity of explaining labor's
ideals and hopes to employers, man.
agement and shop foremen. Those
who control management have need
to know what workers are thinking
and why their program is what it is.
If employers understand the con-
structive possibilities of trade union
ism they will see that they have much
more to gain from securing the CO.
operation of unions than from fight
ing them. Opposition to union organ
izations involves considerable ex-
pense and the higher costs of pro-
duction from workers restive under
arbitrary control. When better al
tentative is offered and management
! is convinced the plan is practicable,
the majority will be more than glad to
offer partnership in an endeavor to
put production on higher plane. Co.
operation makes possible intelligent
consideration of problems and deci-
sions upon a basis Of fact. Through
cooperation the rule of reason re-
places trial by force.
This is the proposal Americas
workers make to Americas employ
ers.

HIGH WAGES CONSTITUTE
STEPPING STONES

Americas workers believe that
high wages constitute stepping stones
to higher levels of living for them
selves and their dependents. They
know that wage increases have value
only as they can be exchanged for
commodities and opportunities. This
exchange in turn is dependent upon
increased productivity. Workers alone
can not increase production. The
processes of production are determin-
ed by management. Workers can
contribute from their practical expe-
riences if management agrees to such
cooperation.

LABOR POWER is LIFE

A secret executive committee OF q
self-styled citizens committee in
Cleveland is circulating an expose
of labor monopoly" in the building
industry of that city.
The citizens committee favors the
anti-union shop-it wants individual
bargaining and to pit one job seeker
against another. This is also favor
ed by every financial rigger, real
estate promoter, building material
profteer, rent racker and others who
consider 800 or 400 per cent "fair"
return on their investment.
These extortioners can not stay out
side their own lives. Their psychology
is "sell" and profit" They talk of
buying labor" as though it were a
thing to be hawked in the market
place. Monopoly" is their elemental
instinct.
Those who talk of "labor monop-
oily" cling to the serf ideal they have
dressed up with catch phrases, like the
"open" shop and the American plan"
They can't conceive of doctrine SO
daring as freedom for workers.
Therein lies their opposition to trade
unionism.
The power to labor can not be sep
arated from life. To labor is not
an automatic process-one must have
memory, understanding and will
These faculties are only inherent
in man. Thus labor power-life itself
differs from a lumber mill, steam
shovel, an electric crane, a bag OF
cement or other commodities.
Man owns his labor power because
he owns himself. 1t can not be separ-
ated from him. He may discuss work
conditions with an employer, but il
he is denied the last word, or if he
accepts employment under duress, he
is not free man.
To approximate the Declaration OF
independence he must be permitted tx
withhold his labor power or to asso-
ciate with others to labor under con.
ditions satisfactory to them.
A man can monopolize commodity
but not life. When he talks of 9
Labor monopoly" he acknowledges
he retains serf ideal.
The difference between the free mar
and the serf is that the free man car
labor or refuse to labor, as suits his
: will.
Fine spun legalisms and the so
phistries of proft-seekers can no'
dilute this American fundamental.
