OF PRIMARY IMPORTANCE
Steward Gateway

If the government is really sincer in it's desire to assist in papulasi Alaska by shipping North 300 farfl families each year, it should also, at the same time, arrange a market f. these prospective new citizens.
 We have talked personally to farm ITS who were persuaded to come to Alaska from the States; persuaded by government men assigned to that task. Once here they were forgotte.l and many subsequently, returned to the states, cursing the day they had gone to Alaska!
 Cursing, not because of Alaska it. self, but conditions had been so dis sorted. And all of these, of primary importance, was lack of market for farm products. It is true some pro duce is sold, but until a definite agency has been established along the railroad belt for general mark eting of all farm products, the idea of bringing impoverished families from the States to Alaska unless assisted thereafter over a long period of time, will lead to failure again.
 We hasten to add, however, that we always welcome new settlers, knowing that here in this great country a sanctuary in time, will be found for the industrious, where in the states, at the present time, the task of obtaining sufficient to eat $ sometimes nearly impossible.

NOT so DANGEROUS.
(New York Times)

Last October a little group of men interested in pubic affairs drew up list of the Three Most Dangerous Men in the United States. These were the names: Upton Sinclair of California, Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Huey P. Long of Louisi- asa. All of them, it was said, were candidates for the Presidency, on platforms full of mischief. Needless to say, after the November election MT. Sinclair's name was crossed off. Senator LaFollette, it is true, now has party of his own, to threaten like fleet in being" But he seems most likely to tender it to the Roosevelt navy before many months have passed. Thus Senator Long appears now to have the rlear- est title, whiih many are giving him, as "The Most Dangerous Man."
 That he. and his followers mean to make serious try for the Presi- dency is evident from many acts and utterances. There has just been formed in Louisiana a "Huey P. Long for President Club. Circular applications for membership have been distriputed widely, the only qualification being apparently obed- fence to "all rules and regulations. !" Senator Long will doubtless draft these himself. Judging by his ab- solute contro of the Louisiana Legis- lature- he will know how to enforce them. But is he really to be thought of as the most dangerous man in America?
 No question of his native ability need be raised. He carries many intellectual guns. For his own pur- poses he often assumes a sort of vulgar and cowboy manner, but be- hind 1t he hide a great deal of shrewdness and talent and know ledge. Some of his speeches in the Senate and at political conventions
 
 ne makes deliberately offensive. but he IS said to be able to make good legal argument in court and it was admitted by those who heard his appeal for admission of his Louisi- ana delegation at the Chicago Con- ventlon that it was persuasive and masterly. Whether he is ent;ralv sincere in his announced intention to redlstrlbute entirely the wealth If the country, not permitting any one man to possess more than million collars, may be doubted. But he b.s found it to be fetching crv with many people and is certain to make the walls. of the Senate and the hills outside re-echo it during the next two years. How long it will evoke a response, to what extent he can keep It up, is another matter.
 Politically speaking, his preat "eakness IS lack of "charactar ;,

Building Service-Men--D efeat Arbitration!

Reliance on politicians will not win the
demands of the union. The strikebreaking
actions of LsGuardia have shown that. The
LaGuardias and Lyons are only interested in
saving the profits of the building owners

The only way the building service work
ers can win their demands is by striking

Strike ParIey

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 21.-Trus-
tees Of the Newark Ledger broke off
negotiations last night in discussion
of settlement of the Newspaper
Guilds three-month strike by refus-
ing demands of the strikers.
As against the Guilds demands
for Guild recognition, return to the
job of all strikers, the union shop
and discharge of the scabs, the
Board of Trustees offered to take
back some of the strikers, refused
recognition of the union, and Of
fered a minimum wage of $40.
One of the Guild pickets, John
J. Wilson, was attacked by Joe Dom
ovan, sports writer, who first Joined
in the walk-out and later returned
to the job to scab. Donovan, ac-
companied by several of his cronies,
assaulted Wilson. Police who came
to the scene pinned Wilson'S arms
while Donovan belabored him with
blows on the face.
Wilson demanded Donovan's ar
rest, but at the First Precinct police
station, Lieutenant Doremus, in
stead of accepting the strikers
charge, asked the scab what charge
lie would prefer against Wilson.
wilson, whose face was battered,
and who later needed hospital care,
was charged with breach OF the
peace" He will come up for trial
Saturday morning at the First Pre-
cinct Police Court.

No Digre ssiOn From

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. III
Senator Robert F. Wagner. bluntlv
declaring it his purpose to stabilize
and improve business" and to re-
duce the likelihood of another con-
fagration of strife such as We wit
messed last Summer" today revived
his labor disputes bill. The measure
The National Labor Relations
Bill" would legalize company
unions, revitalize the National La
Dor Relations Board and lay a basis
for compulsory arbitration, thus in
fringing on the right to strike. 1t
would label the Labor Board an
independent agency" but would
have it's three $4,000 a-year mem
bers appointed by President Roose-
welt.
For Status Quo
Wagner, the Tammany Senator
who headed Roosevelts National
Labor Board and dominated the
making Of strike breaking policies
which led workers to call the Board
part of the National Run Around "
presented his bill to the Senate. At
the same time the Senator inserted
in the record speech saying
Let me emphasize that nothing
in the measure discourages ern-
ployees from uniting on an inde-
1 pendent or company union basis.
1t does not even state that Con-
gress favors the policy Of the
closed shop. Far from suggesting
a change, it merely preserves the
status quo"
The bill was referred to the SEN
ate Committee on Education and
Labor. At the moment, it lacks full
Roosevelt Administration support
[ because the dominant industrialists
oppose the Wagner bills proposal to
declare majority the standard.
This provision is designed to revive
the illusions of workers who have
struck and restruck against the
present Labor Boards tactic of CALI
ing sham elections.

The strike. which started Monday
in Vesta and quickly spread to the

officially against enforcement by tbs

out against accumulated grievances

gives the miners no recourse.
At local union meetings during
