ALASKA GETS IT IN THE NECK AGAIN

AS understand it, the ship strike is purely a
situation local to Seattle The trouble is between the
longshoremen in Seattle and the steamship COM
panies Longshoremen in other ports not in
volved Yet we notice that the ships which went
down from Alaska unloaded in Tacoma an open port
then went over to Seattle and tied up claiming they
couldn't serve Alaska because they couldn't load.
What we can't quite understand is why they can't
load in Tacoma if they nloaded there? The long
shoremen in Tacoma not on strike and haven't
refused to handle the goods. The longshoremen in
Juneau are reported as saying they will handle freight
arriving here from any port except Seattle That
makes it fairly definite that it is purely Seattle
problem.
Why won't the steamship companies load in Ia
coma which is only hop skip and jump from Seattle?
Why won't they serve Alaska when they have an
opportunity instead of kicking in the face while
they are having trouble with group in Seattle?
We have no doubt but what there is a great deal
of pressure being brought the steamship companies
in Seattle not to patronize rival town. Our big
brother" the Seattle Chamber of Commerce probably
isn't any too keen about it, 1t wasn't in 1884 when
some ships were loaded in Tacoma for Alaska Bust
ness interests in Seattle probably against be-
they can't bear to think of a couple nickes
worth of Alaska business going through some other
port. 1t may even be that the steamship companies
themselves don't care whether they Alaska al
this season of the year not This isn't the tourist
season or the fishing when the big bushes,
Is done
e = despite those angles which always figure in
such troubles I'll e~nt quite get it why the people
III the Territory OF Alaska get absolutely considera
ton from Seattle the steamship companies when
we need it most
Perhaps some of those AlaskanS who are reported
as opposing the International Highway can explain
it to us? 1t would be of nice to have some trucks
rolling produce up here by that highway these days
while the ships idle.

Ford and the NLRB
New York World-Telegram)


Henry Ford will fight to the finish the order
of the Labor Relations Board which charges his com
pany with violating the Wagner act. We believe he
will lose if he wins for think he is bucking tide
too strong. That tide has been sweeping for more
than a generation toward public acceptance of the
right of labor we'll capital to organize.
Ford. the very symbol of the modern as an inven-
tor and a manufacturer-the man who more than
any other in time has switched from horse and
buggy to internal combustion and high speeds
curiously archaic an employer, as distinct from
chanca relationships. Feudalism and gasoline won't
mix. Ford should learn from England about the
workers rights. England modernized her state of
mind quarter of a century before did ours, and
there's industrial peace in England Many large
employers in this country adapting to the trend
despite its ritations We believe that Ford will even
tuay substitute for his hatred of unonism an accep-
lance of the basic justice of abors right to speak for
itself through representatives of its not the
pany's choosing
The Ford case, however as it goes through the
courts may bring Qualification of several issues and
in that respect do good both for labor and capital in
bringing better understanding how the rule should
work
Most important is the right of expression.
After ALL no matter how much may differ
with Ford employer in his views unionism or
with labor organizers their views elemental in our
democratic scheme of things is the right express
those views
Two strange phases have appeared in the Ford
situation First the Labor Board orders Ford cease
and desist from expressing himself. Second through
the thin subterfuge of city ordinance employees are
being arrested in Dearborn for obstructng traffic in
circulating their pro-union propaganda So we have
on both sides of the controversy definite threat to
free speech And if out of the labor dispute freedom
OF opinion is crushed that most precious of all our
democratic privileges may other ways and perhaps
completely be crushed
Cease and desist from saying what YOU think
whether the saver be Ford or Frankenseen the labor
leader is form of government by injunction of muz-
zlng before the fact" and such government in final
analysis is tyranny
If what Ford says violates law then Ford can
be prosecuted for violation, he can under the law
OF libel But that doesn't prevent his saying If what
labor leader says ncites to violence that too can be
prosecuted after the fact of expression but it doesn't
prevent the expression
So If the Ford contest of the NLRB ruling clears
up that question all the effort and time and lawyer
fees may be worth while. though Fords general
policy of resistance to the right to organize is out
OF step with the times is the oxcart.

Horoscope
"The stars incline
but do not compel"

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1888
Certain stars frown upon the
Earth on this thirteenth day of the
month, according to astrology. Ex-
IRENE caution should be exercised
by busy men and women
The planetary government APP
pears to favor those who hold plac-
es in the Sun. Heads of business
and government affairs are under
lucky stars which may encourage
misguided optimism toward world
perils.
Mars is in menacing mood which
may not be apparent to many citi-
zens of the United States. Resi-
dents of the Pacific Coast are to
be interested in naval movements.
This is not a favorable date for
starting anything and projects long
considered may be prevented by I'M
toward events.
Discomfort in Canada owing to
the high cost of living is prognos-
ticated. The government may be
faced with difficult issues.
Legislation will thwart certain
activities that bring big profits to
and manufacturers, but
there will be new fortunes for many
Americans this year. Speculation
will be profitable to certain men
connected with big business.
Women are warned that words
carrying fear of any sort should be
avoided They should be especial
ly thoughtful in speaking in the
presence of children.
The young should be taught to
avoid any but constructive ideas
Criticism and pessimism may be
peculiarly poisonous this winter.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of pro-
gress, but there may be disap-
pointments and delays Both men
and women should abhor hatred and
should cultivate the spirit of for
giveness.

IT'S A LOT SAFER IN THE AIR

Another big air liner has crashed in Montana
taking ten persons to their death report is that
sui another is lost the Pacific People say
MY there are lot of airplane crashes recently
1t just makes you afraid to ride in one They cant
be very safe"
True, there are few big airpane crashes in
which the loss OF life is high in the present case
IN Montana in which pioneer pilot Nick Manner and
his load of nine went into the side of the mountain
presumably due to bad weather conditions There have
been other similar tragedies the mountains OF
the west and east. And because the airplane is still
comparatively new, and flying is yet something of a
thrill the crashes become spectacular and of great
interest to the reading public. Years ago train
wreck was the last word in big news. Everybody de-
manded all the details of the train wreck in those
days just as they demand all the news of the big air
liner crash today
because the public, nowadays particularly air
minded Is Vltally interested in airplanes everything
that happens to them is news If it's a crash if is
big news. The result is that people read that news
because they are interested in arplanes and naturally
enough they comment My there are lot of arpane
accidents"
But the fact of the matter is that plane crashes
are comparatively few and the death toll from air
pane accidents is as nothing compared with the num-
Der OF deaths from automobile accidents
During 1887 there approximately 10000 per-
sons killed in the United States in auto accidents
ana million injured. tAsk your insurance man
he give you the exact figures Compare those
figures Tor moment with the number OF airpane
crashes you can think of which took as many as ter
lives OF course the plane fatalities are virtually
nothing in comparison. But we won't stop to think
about that when read about the next plane crash
Wen just say, my, there are a lot of airplane ac.
cidents."
However, we'll keep right using the airplane
wen travel millions of miles without a mishap anc
the time will come when airplane accidents like thu
train wreck viii be passe That is if there are an,
OF us left after the automobile accidents which are
mounting annually at such terrific pace

Was War Worth 1t?
Richmond Times-Disnatchl

Richmond Times-D Dispatch
By far the most outstanding and instructive case
on freedom of speech and the press that occurred
in Virginia during the World War (and one of the
most notable in the nation), was that of Professor
Leon r. Whpple director of the school of Journalism
at the University of Virginia who was dismissed for
unpariotic and disloyal if seditious utterances
Public Juror followed Professor Whipples speech at
Sweet Brar College which he said peace was better
and more logical than war
4 am pacifist for the plain logical reason that
war just does not work Mr. Whippe told the Current
Events Club at Sweet Brar War does not remove
the menace of autocracy, make the world safe for
democracy, or even protect our own democracy. 1
believe still make the United States glorious by
its stand for peace despite the fact that the nation
sacrificed its greatest opportunity when entered
the war. That is why gave money to the cause
of Morris Hillqut instead of investing it in Liberty
Bonds at percent"
For these words Mr. Whipple was drummed out
OF a state where freedom of speech was an historic
principle, by outraged offciadom and by astounded
patriots whose thought i'll those days had been well
regmented if they We're not in uniform Senator
Thomas S. Martin said this professor was not fit to
instruct Virginia youth and Governor Stuart called
upon the rector and board visitors the university
to take prompt action adding that men of Professor
Whipples way of thinking would find no countenance
anywhere in Virginia
The professor who had dared to stand up against
the dollar-a and the minute men was Kissed
for the World War emergency, and free speech found
no friends in that direction this celebrated case
What couldn't be understood hen-to quote the speech
a distinguished Richmond alumnus of the University
OF Virginia made to the University Club here at the
time-was the operation of mans mind who will
stand up and have himself kicked all over the
country.
Mr.. Whipple was kicked upstairs. He became a
professor of journalism at New York University and
one of the editors of the Survey Graphic He has had
a uritar
versary OF his dismissal from the University of Vir-
gna seemed to us to be worth rather extended re-
view. For here was man who'd rather be right-and
who really was, in his predictions as to the results
of the war
And if the sacrosanct Liberty Bond hadn't been
immune from criticism by regmented press this
government maybe wouldn't have loaned 500 600 Don
to the provisional government of Russia when it was
bankrupt and on the brink of revolution And maybe
a lot of other things wouldn't have happened-like
sending the American expeditionary force to Arch
angel to fight with the white Russians aganst the
Bolsheviksl after the World War was over
