WEDNESDAY. MAY II. 1888

WEDNESDAY, MAY II, 1888
 Good and evil planetary aspects seem to contend in the horoscope of this day according to astrology There may be tendency toward despondency and unstable opinions.
 While the stars encourage con- structive work among engineers, ar chitects and builders, persons who are engaged in law cases, govern ment affairs and literary pursuits may feel intense depression.
 Muddled thinking may be vide spread as labor problems become more complex and industry sus- tains heavy losses. The seers de- clare that compromises must be sweeping and leaders far-seeing.
 Merchants and manufacturers have the forecast of sharp fluctua- tions between activity and stagna- tion. The wise will avoid specula- tive activity.
 The stars seem to presage amaz- ing world events Though cause will follow effect, there will be unex- pected crises in international rela- tiOnS.
 Woman are under favorable rule of the stars today New leaders will be recognized, among them one who is very young
 This is a lucky day for love af- fairs Wooers should be most fortu nate in winning favor Girls may exercise extraordinary initiat tive
 Shoppers should be fortunate under this sway which encourages wise selections and promises good values for dollars spent.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pleasure among friends. They should beware of all financial risks.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be original and forceful with ability to win what seems worth while. Subjects of this sign of Tau rus have Venus as their ruling planet and for this reason may suc- ceed in artistic vacations.
 Irving Berlin, American compo- ser, was born on this day 1888. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Spencer Baird NeUherrv chemist and manufactl1r- CT, 1857; Charles Warren Fairbanks. onetime Vice President of the Unit ed States, 1852.

big beach fire This in face of the fact that but last week Mir Lane had given notice to the public that his foxes were breeding the island and requested per- sons to use some other beaches of which all know, there plenty.
 There is a territorial law against trespassing on
 duly recognized and posted fox farms There is little enforcement for the simple that it is virtually impossible to police the fox islands and it is mostly up the fox farmer to roundup the culprits and bring in a complaint Naturally, the farmer hasn't tune to sit on the beach and wait for trespassers Every one who knows anything about fox farming knows it is tough hard grind which requires the hardest kind of work and long hours with little time to around chasing pcnickers off the beach if the farmer is fortunate enough to spot them.
 Alaskans for the most part know the decences Of the outdoors when they out fishing. hunting or picnicking. They do not molest property per sons-and they stay off of fox islands But appar- ently there to whom the rights and privileges of the other fellow mean nothing. They should be traced down and made to feel the teeth of the law The penalty for trespassing a fox farm is up to S1O00 fine six months in jail, both. A conviction or two under that act probably would put a stop to such malicious depreciation that which took place at the week end on Coughlin Island.

LABOR LEADERS RIDING FOR A FALL

Just where these jurisdcuonal fights between labor organizations ultimately will lead to appears to be mooted question even with the most partisan laborite O if the partisan laborite happens to be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor he feels fairly certain that it will end in AFL donlna- ton If he is disciple of the Committee for Indus trial Organization he equally certain that the result will be CIO control of the labor movement. And he
 must be definitely partisan adopt that attitude for it is more evident every day thas the great rank and file of labor is just perpexed about the whole thing as is the remainder of the general public directly affiliated with labor organizations.
 A recent survey taken by Fortune magazine gives an excellent example of how confusing the labor squabbe is at the present tune and how more and more persons are becoming annoyed and disgusted as union battles union throughout the country For tune found out it's survey that 386 percent of the voters boiled believed that labor unions were the biggest problem facing the nation today, and reveal ing indeed, was the fact that factory labor itself put the unions at the head of the list of culprits The survey Fortune reports showed small sympathy with pickets less with sit-down strikes and a large percentage of the voters thought non-strlkers should have the right to continue working i'll plants where strikes are called.
 But the issue on labor is clear" says the Readers Digest in commenting on the Fortune survey Labor organiza tons have made themselves decidedly unpopu

 The iurtsdiconal wars heinz waged now on the typical of the of thing with which the public is becoming disgusted. First it the squabble in the canned salmon industry which brought home particularly to those of the Now it is the port situation at Tacoma and Seattle with the former closed and report current that the latter will be closed unless jurisdiconal dispute is settled
 It becomes and more evident that labor unions defeating their ends by pickering among themselves. Aside from the general public not affiliated with labor movements the rank and file of the union membership is getting disgusted It is rapidly approaching the attitude of revolt ready to toss the whole idea overboard It would be a sorry day for labor organizations if that pass for every advance made in the last few years would be lost
 And it will not be the fault of the laboring man if labor unions split asunuer The entire responsi bity will the shoulders of those labor leaders who today failing to prove their ability eader- ship and, in too many cases. are selling the rank and file down the river

Premise for Debate
(New York Times)

There is one point in the statement addressed to President Roosevelt by group of business leaders which deserves all the emphasis that can be given to it. Wide but honest differences of opinion exist as to ways and means, says the signers of this state ment but surely one can doubt that the goal which every citizen desires reach is to advance the national income to point where employment and prosperity can be widespread.
 A great deal will be gained if this statement of the case accepted premise for discussion of the problems with which the country is confronted Nothing but harm is done by repetition of the theory so popular with of the Administrations critics that the President really does not desire bushes, to prosper that he would like to tax it out of existence, and that deliberately seeking to suppl5nt Aneri- can capitalism with some alien system. And nothing but harm is by repetition of the theory popu- lar with some of the Administrations spokesnen that business men are on strike" against the Govern nent, that they have deliberately made depression and seeking deliberately to prolong it. for the sake of discrediting the Administration; that they are so short-sghted to that they have fully as much reason as the Government to desire genu inely prosperous country with steadily advancing standard of living and national income large enough to furnish constantly expanding market for their goods Both business and the Government need prompt recovery The only question really at issue is the question of ways and means.
 Here the wide but honest differences of opinion unmistakably prevail They are, at the moment, very wide, Government puts it's faith in the purchasing power" theory of recovery-which is the explanation of it's spending it's wages and-hours legiSla tion its curalment of crops to raise prices for the farmers Business generally believes that real pur chasing power flow only out of increased produc tion and that the essential problem consequently is how to artificial obstacles to production and to restore lost confidence ill the future of investments
 The two theories are far apart and in some ways diametrcaly opposed But at least they can be dis cussed realistically and with less risk to the nations heritage of unity, if the premise of good faith is accepted on both sides.

A point tie existed between the

therefore not eligible to win the
