Writes Book;
Is Life Story
Former Well Known Ju-
neau Physician Publishes
Interesting Chronicle

Dr.. Harry Carlos DeVighne, prac-
ticing physician in Juneau for
many years, has written his sec
ond book. 1t is called The Time
of My Life" and is published by
j. B. Lippincott Company.
The book, which is being read
currently by many of the authors
friends in Juneau, was ably re-
viewed by Stanley Walker in the
New York Herald-T Tribune. Mr.
Walker says in part:
Dr. De Vighne's story for the
most part concerns itself with his
thirty years as a frontier doctor in
Alaska, although that is only part
of the bizarre outline of his life.
The frantic gold rush was reced-
ing a bit when DR.. De Vighne,
fresh and frightened young man,
went there, but the territory was
still tough enough. The inhabi-
tants included the natives, who
were being spoiled by the mission
aries; goodly remnant of the
oldtime gamblers and saloon pro-
prietors; fair sprinkling of dance
hall women, some of whom had
great nobility, and the rest of
motley cast-made up of ordinary
citizens, fugitives from justice,
sourdoughs, hunters, fishermen and
assorted buns.
1t was vast territory into which
the white man had brought an
appalling number of new diseases.
Methods of treatment were often
fantastic. Surgery, if any, was
primitive in the extreme. Sanitation
was virtually non-existent Into
this difficult mess went young DR..
De Vighne to make living and to
do his best. He was none too we'll
equipped with learning and expert
ence, but he got by. He made a sur
vey of health conditions for the gov
eminent with a view to organiz-
ing health service for the
Indians and Eskimos, and then he
settled down to private practice.
He appears to have been highly
adaptable. He made mistakes, but
he picked up knowledge along the
way, and he did much for Alaska.
Moreover (and this seems to hap
pen to a great many doctors) he
acquired thoughtful philosophical
habit of mind, an attitude toward
life which shows through much of
this book
The start of the story is unusual.
DR.. De Vighne says his first clear
memory is of following band
down Seventh Avenue in New York
in a political parade in 1884, when
he was eight years old. He had
been born n Cuba, of respectable
parentage, and then had some
what unaccountably been left an
orphan in New York CITY. There
was a short period in the home of
an italian named Tony, then
time when he was more or less
the ward of Bowery character
named McGurk. Then he was
newsboy lodging truant officers and
making a precarious living on the
East Side. Finally he was picked up
and shipped West. to Iowa, where
an old farmer and his wife adopted
him as their grandchild.
He didn't like farming much. He
ran away, went to Deadwood, South
Dakota, lived there until he was
sixteen, then ran off again. In his
vagrant youth he did all sorts of
things. He rode the rods and the
"side-door sleepers" from one end
of the country to the other. He
knew all the tricks of the hobo.

Let there be no question in the
minds of every member of a CLIO
local union, that I, even as the
other members Of the various in

talk about. organizing, shorter
hours, increased wages, and better
working conditions for every
American worker! I want to tell
you about the things that your
union is doing FOR you, not about
the things that your union is

she bears in the protection of the
rights, not only of himself or
herself, but of the things that
workers of future generations yet
unborn will expect.
With no patriotic American re-
fusing to work during the time of
national peril, is anyone so foolish
as to believe that management of
the great corporations would con-
tinue with the benefits of decent
wages, vacations with pay, and
seniority clauses, if the law did
not give us those things? Is there
any worker who does not believe
that every gain of the American
worker would not be destroyed by
management if they had the op-

Days of war have brought forth
many antagonists in all parts of
the world, and fighting on many
battlefields is the role allotted
labor today. Our enemies do not
all present themselves before us,
bearing the weapons of war, but
many of them come with soft
words and "vote-for-me" CAM
paign promises. These are the
most treacherous of all whom we
must face in the struggle for the
existence of our union and for the
rights of working men and woman
al lover the world.
Bitter lessons have been taught
to Labor in every one Of our
United States, but the lessons that
are nearest to the workers of
Dayton have been taught by the
Tafts, Burtons, ~Jeffreys' and the
others of their ilk. 7 do not hesi-
tate to classify these men on the
same basis as the Harry Routzhon
who gave one of the dirtiest deals
to Labor that workers have ever
known. Routzohn received a les
son from Labor in an election
that should have been taken as a
rousing example of what the work.
er, properly aroused, can do!

Labor Must Arouse

Now Labor is faced with the
same sordid list Of bad examples
in the various halls of govern
mental legislative bodies. And
Labor is NOT PREPARED! The
check made by the leaders of La
Dor in the fight for sound legis-
lation has revealed that only a
pitiful handful of our workers are
registered to vote in the coming
elections. It is true that through
the efforts of the CLIO local unions
legislative committees, the regis
tration of CLIO membership is
growing by leaps and bounds, but
it is also true that unless the
balance of the membership wakes
up, that Labor will take another
shel1acking at the polls.
Through the efforts and the
farsightedness of the leaders of
the CLIO, and through the valiant
fight that has been staged through
the national, state and local CLIO
Councils, Labor has protected most
of the gains that have been won,
and have prevented a relapse of
Labor's rights, but this can not
continue without support. It will
take the combined action of our
membership at the polls in 1913

The campaign to get all mem

ing regularly and plans for the
election are shaping up in good
style. A breakdown into wards

many members are registering

man of the CLIO Council Commit

There's a state that I call perfect, in a land that's far away, in
a nation that's called "Daydream," perhaps you've passed that way.
There IRE no Harry Jeffreys, no Wheelers, and no Tafs, and all the
Rickenbackers are still adrift O RATS.
There is no Westbrook Pegler with his column to ncite, riots
in the day time, and night mares in the night. No lies are told to
soldiers, of the things for which Labor stands, not a sign of Gerald
L. K. Smith, and "down with everything" bands.
Every worker is registered, and unity is strong, solid union
in every plant, not a worker who don't belong. That's the land
that I call perfect and although it's far away, better register and
vote, we can bring it here some day!

Solicitations
Council wishes to point out to
all of the membership that this
year things are to be different in
the number of times that workers
will be approached FOR contribu-
tons to charitable and to civic or
CARNATIONS. This year there is
to be only one campaign for
funds, and hat campaign is to be
the War Chest.
National CIO is advocating the
giving of an equivalent of one
hours pay per month, to be di-
vided as the giver sees fit. The
CIO American and Allied War
Relief is an agency of the War
Chest, and all donations will 60
to help u National Organization
in this work. Every worker is
urged this year to do the very
best that they can for the Wan
Chest campaign, and to donate
only to this organization during
the balance of 1913.
In March of 1914, there will be
the usual campaign for funds for
funds for the Red Cross, and these
two funds are the only approaches
that the workers should honor
until the War Chest campaign,
next year. All CLIO members are
urged to give to the best of their
ability to these two funds and
to rest assured that they will be
protected from continual ap-
proaches for other funds.
