A FIGHT TO THE FINISH

The calling of the maritime strike last night at midnight, the Pacific Coast leads to believe that the fight begun, will be to the finish. It has been brewing for two years. The signed agreements of the spring of 1884 between ship owners and employ ees, while at first thought to be sufficient to end that strike did not bring the settlement of the issues in the dispute any definite conclusion It merely postpon- ed final reckoning Whether this strike will result in fight to the finish is really unknown but all indi- cations point to that belief.
 Possibly of the greatest arguments involved in the present dispute is the question of the hiring hall Shpowners submitted in 1884 to the operation of this type of hiring. They have smarted under that signed necessity for the past years and in the present dis cussons which have taken place since early in Sepem ber they have been adamant in their contention to ab ollsh this feature. However, waterfront employees have been just stubborn in working for the inclu- sion of that principle in any agreement to be signed
 The effect of the present strike will be even more severe than the in 1884 The ramifcaton of inter- ess at this time, and development of ties during the past two years has made it of national interest.
 Coming as it does just before the national gen. eral election there be little doubt that it will prove d serious issue with voters the West Coast.
 As regards trade conditions and commerce, it's eff ect on Alaska will not be such detrment to the try at large If t called in the spring Of the year, when Alaskans are depending on each day to aid in the mining of gold and other minerals But 1t will prove extremely serious to points in southeastern southwestern and central Alaska where the ordering of food clothing supplies and equipment of all kinds, is ordered and delivered by the week Already it has been stated that Alaska has seen it's final Alaska Steam ship Company, boat at Seward until settlement in some way is effected.
 Another angle, one about which there has been much conjecture, but little opinion is what is the gov ernment going to do about it?' With the establish rnent of the Federal Maritime Commission, tentative federal policy became known that hindrance with the transportation of U S. Mail and the resultant failure in complying with ship mail subsidies, would not be countenanced What the government will do about it is seriously big question. Riong and other forms of force employed in the last strike, and the approach to radical behavior frightened the people before Let's hope that the situation will not reach that stage.
 One alternative faces Alaska, if marine transpora- ton is taken from -that is the Arpane. If the need of adequate transportation for passengers and mail be- comes serious enough if food supplies become too low, then will the airplane employed for airplane trans portaton to the state from Alaska, and return.

MUSSOLINI REACHES TOWARD AMERICAS

Word from Rome is that Mussolin is preparingI to spend 60G00O00 lire to convert 65OOO00 people to Fascism. They people of Italian antecedents Who i've in North and South America.
 He plans according to the Rome dispatch, 10 buy Italo-American newspapers send them editors rom Rome dictate their policies he does those ot ltaah papers, and send Roman officers to head Italian societies in every large Italian community in America.
 Thus he hopes to develop unanimous Fascist sentl- nent among Americans of Italian descent and to teach them to put the fatherland first
 The spectacle of foreign dictator making such a barefaced attempt to win the allegiance Of millions of Americans many of whom no doubt are being support ed relief by the American taxpayer is dishearenng
 Mussolin thus dares to take advantage of that Am- ercan freedom of the press and of expression which he does not grant his people at home
 Americans will not attempt to deny him that free dom for believe in it strongly do not fear ev- en it's abuse
 But every person who reads such Roman controll- ed propaganda should remember with every line he heads that conditions reversed and Americans were running a number of papers in Italy booming democracy they would get short shift from the black shrted men, who would smash their presses and impris on their editors
 Nothing like that will happen here, because we be- eve American citizens have the right to say and think what they like The rights of imported and trained ag ators who not citizens, who have intention of becoming citizens, even of remaining and casting their lot with this country are less well defined.
 A country such as the United States, built of inn migrants who naturally retain afectionate interest in the old country, has always had this problem of foreign influence domestic problems The wave of French sympathy which swept the United States in 1793, and of Brtish-French sympathy in 1917 amples of times when foreign ties of sympathes of Americans profoundly affected our policies
 That is dying slowly. There is every reason, bas- ed the known record of millions of loyal patriotic, truly Americanzed Itao-Americans, to believe that Mussons 60000 000 lire will fall on fertile soil Am ericans of Italian descent know too we'll what America and democracy have done for them
 To have sympathy and love for the fatherand and its people is admirable and splendid But to work act lively for transpanting its momentary political ideas to America to divide loyalty, with fatherand first is unthinkable.-Exchange.

genuity is sufficient to enable them to
withstand their natural enemies, the

nearly so intelligent as it Is generally
supposed. In fact they are so easily
trapped as to be the most difficult an
