 The program arranged by the Committee and printed by the Gateway is to be complimented- The advertisements were quite readable and the other data com piled worthy of commendation.
 We only trust that the people of Seward enjoyed our efforts to entertain you with our show"
 MT. Brownell is to be con- graduated on the nice work he did in fixing up the stage for the occasion and the future should see many more home tall ent presentations given there
 Leonard Hopkins IS to be prais- Cd for the pep he displayed, the old war spirit of 'Carry-on', and believe us he was on the job from the start to the finish; he is a fine chap and Seward should De proud to have an ener- getic young man, such as he, in their midst. With such a spirit of home loyalty and pushing for a better understanding bel tween the various Alaska cities, Comrade Hopkins will go far in bringing the towns closer to- gether. Seward is to be congrat- ulated on having him as the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and the American Legion were most fortunate in appointing him chairman of the show committee
 The return trip was nneVentful but the gang was full of pep and kept singing songs the en- tire way home; those who wait Cd up to see the sun rise across beautiful Resurrection Bay, stole 40-winks; with the wonderful weather the entire trip was well worth while We returned to glor- ious and sunshiny Anchorage, and home, proudly acclairning that Sewardites are 100 per cent en- tertainers.n

BISCUIT WORKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
80 Per Cent, Girls in
Fight on Speed-U

The 1900 workers Of the Loose
Wiles Sunshine Biscuit Company of
Kansas City, 500 Of whom arc
young girls, went out on strike last
week. They struck against the new
scheme Of naturalization Of The
bosses, the "manit" plan. They went
out spontaneously in a 1907 walk
out. The bosses answered their walk
out with the threat that the work
would be done in the Long Island
plant.
In immediate answer to- this
threat, the New York Local of tho
Food Workers Industrial League is
sued a leaflet to the workers Of the
Long Island plant. They called upon
the New York workers to refuse to
scab, but to stand solidly with their
brothers and sisters in Kansas CITY.
The leaflet points out that the
workers here are faced with same
conditions as those in the west
long hours, low wages, and the rat
ionalization schemes making even
more harsh the threat Of unepnploy-
rnent. 1t shows that the Loose Wiles
company is e national corporation,
controlled by Wall Street, piling up
profits from the miserable condi-
tions Of the workers.
Kansas City and Long Island
workers both wear the same prison
striped uniforms Of wage-slavery".
the lcaflet says. "Iong hours and
low wages are their common lot,
with unemployment as continual
menace. The new speed-up and per-
centage wages system brings not
only reduction in pay, but means q
reduction in workers, with more and
more out Of jobs"
"The answer of the workers must
be the building up Of shop commit
tees to protect their interest"
The leaflet closes with slogans
Down With the Manit System"
Refuse to fill scab orders! Spread
the strike!
The workers received the leaflet
eagerly snd much heated discussion
was carried on.
