For Il years he was fighting
for proper maritime legislation.
He vas the close friend Of Pres
ident Wilson. Senator La Fol-
lette and later. Robert Dollar.
ANDY was the workers delegate
to the Geneva conference Of Is
mai or maritime nations held IN
1885.
Despite al his chances to
make money from his position
and power. st. Andrew the
Sailor steadfastly refused to &C
cept more than regular A. 3.
wages. He once said. on his
way to Jail. that no prison could
inconvenience anybody who'd
always lived as poorly as ne.
He died broke.
He was unimpeachably honest
and fearless in all his dealings
with everyone. He broke sailors
noses and sued owners in court
for any breach Of faith.
Andy demanded absolute hon
esty and justice Of all men,
himself included. Therefore he
was damned and hated and
feared-but respected by all.
Similarly. owners feared the
persuasiveness OF Andy's argu-
ments when making contracts
for his sailors" for Andy had
the zeal of a true crusader.
AS task-master. he was
hardest upon himself. During
the many years he was in the
nations capital, he'd walk miles
to save taxi fare, then send the
expense money back to the
unions Golfers. During the
bloody maritime strike of 1884,
when San Francisco was gripped
for two days by the general
strike paralyzing the street cars
and taXis, at the age of so
Andy got out of his sick-bed
aE1 hiked three miles to union
7 ting to plead for modera-
ton; he was booed out of the
hall.
Hawk-nosed, fiery-eyed, tail,
gaunt Andy Furuseth never
owned but one cheap, poorly
fitting suit of clothes and habit
ually wore a faded and battered
derby damned firmly down on
his ears. But he fathered the
law which prevents anyone from
holding seaman's clothes
(tools of trade) for debt.
The roster of similarly good
and desirable things accom-
plished through the efforts Of
ST. Andrew the Sailor is a long
and impressive one.
To gain such things, he
brawled on the waterfront with
unruly unionists and scabs alike.
He'd show ar owner how to
save money, and strike against
him to enforce his idea His
ideals during all his lifelong
crusade were immaculate and
worthy of the highest praise by
a both his friends and enemies.
He refused to be defeated and
was quick to forgive, although
he fought tirelessly for right.
(He crusaded II years for his
Seamen's bill, saw it become law,
saw it dumped overheard as un-
constitutional-and went right
on fighting for it, neither angry
nor discouraged.)
Poverty-stricken, sick, with
little influence among the new
er generation of seamen. at the
age of 81 Andy nevertheless
maze one final pilgrimage To
Washington. D. C.. in behalf Of
his undimmed ideals for the bet
terment of merchant seamen
and more equitable and har-
monious relations between SAIL
ors and their employers.
On Jan. %. 1888. st Andrew
the Sailor died in the national
capital. He was cremated. and
at his request his ashes were
scattered on the tempestuous
North Atlantic half way be-
tween the United States and
Norway.

|GIFTS SOUGHT FOR SOLDIERS
 AT ARMY POSTS

l The American Womens Voluntary Services at their monthly meeting yesterday held at the Governors House voted to use some of the money earned in the recent concert | to fill Christmas boxes for service men at Yakutat and Sitka They understand at Yakutat there are young men from all over the United States who have at present no re- creational facilities except two phonographs without records and a newly arrived motion picture ma chine. Sitka needs books badly. A box of goodies is also to be sent to Chilkoot Barracks.
 Letters were read from Gen. s. B. Buckner thanking the AWVS for their interest in behalf of the serv- ice men and from Capt. Parker say ing that he would try to have all the welfare material sent from the AWVS units in the States if pos sible sent to Seattle and from there directly to the bases.
 However, the Juneau unit has all ready received several letters telling of boxes and games and books on their way to Juneau The New York unit has written that, We have had regular flood of appeals, girls from all ove rtheco untry, asking for names of soldiers in Alaska. They read our request in the Mo- vember Bulletin"
 A letter has come from California from the State Chairman of the AWVS asking for the names of soldiers who would like ito be adopted and have letters and Christmas presents sent them.
 The Juneau Unit has already sent fifty names from both Chilkoot and Sitka and are awaiting lists of names from the other bases.
 The unit this month served cof- fee, doughnuts and sandwiches at eight coffee stations during the sec ond official "blackout" and under tock to have the elastics sewn on the armbands for "the minute men"
 Next month after New Years day the following classes will be con- tinued on started, in the following subjects: Diet and Mass Feeding" :" Aviation, Communications, Home Nursing and Firt Aid.
 A box has been placed at the en- trance to the Territorial Building where donors may place their gifts.
 Particularly urgent is the need for gifts for the Yakutat troops, who will not receive their gifts by Christ mas unless they are placed in the box by o'clock this afternoon. With

White House Christmas 10
 Be As Usual

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 - The President and Mrs. Roosevelt are preparing the White House for Christmas "as usual even though the star in the east and elsewhere is Mars.
 There will be a tall all-white Christmas tree in the East Room and the White House will be decked out in holly, mistletoe and poin- settas. Therell be presents for the White House staff and for the Presidents office force.
 Stocking for Dog
 Just as on eight other Christmas Eyes, the President and Mrs. Roo sevelt will hang up their stockings at the big mantle in the chief eX- ccutive's bedroom There will be a sock, too, for Falla just as there was last year when the President S Scottie got his first rubber bone.
 But Santa when he comes down the chimney to fill the array of stockings will find one missing. Mrs. Sara Roosevelt, the Presi- dents mother, won't be there to hang up her eighty eighth stocking. She died in September.
 And although the Roosevelts arc grandpa" and grandma" to more grandchildren than any other White House tenants, the one youngsters stocking won't belong at least not as things look now to any of their ten grandchildren.
 That one small stockings owner will be Diana Hopkins, the nine year-old daughter of Lease-Lend Administrator Harry Hopkins Her father, who lives at the White House, will also tack up his stock ing as will any other house guests in accord with a long time Roose- welt custom.
 To the Roosevelts Christmas is an important event, and in the years past the holly was no sooner up than the clan began to gather. James Roosevelt and his second wife, the former Romelle Schneid- CT, bride of eight months, are living here and will probably help the President eats Christmas tur- key.
 Others Scattered
 But the other children are scat tered. Franklin Jr. has recently been at sea on destroyer. Elliott is in the aviation corps. John is in naval training on the West Coast. Anna Boettiger and her newspaper publishing husband are in Seattle.
 But if they can get to a tele- phone, it is likely as in years past that they will wish the President and each other Merry Christmas on a long distance telephone hook up.
 Mrs. Roosevelt has nearly all her Christmas shopping done. She usually begins the day after Christ mas for the Christmas ahead. This year she is wrapping her presents simply in order to save tissue paper and cartons. But that doesn't mean her gifts won't be gay packages.

Noticed something? The place
seems scared to breathe! When

leaned and showed the folded sheet
to the station agent. II wonder if
