Seal Sale Goal
Is $4,000 In State

The goal of the 10th annual Christ
mas Seal Sale is $2lO,OO0.OO. Ninety
thousand dollars was received during
the first two weeks Of the sale, Of this
$4,000 came from residents Of Balti-
more City and the balance from the
counties of Maryland
Returns are running little ahead
Of 1915, but the increased program
necessitates much larger return than
last years, it has been stated by W.
3. Matthews, of the Maryland Tu-
berculosis association.
He said, I'VE must strike while the
IRON is hot, people have become more
conscious OF tuberculosis and how one
active case can affect home and COM
munity. It is our hope to X-ray, not
only many more people next year than
we did in 1916, but to greatly increase
our program of health education and
| clinic service. The more people we can
reach to tell the truth about tubercu-
losis the sooner we will be rid Of this
disease. A recently completed study
revealed that from 1899 to 1913 there
were over 100000 deaths from infec-
ton and parasitic diseases. Three hun
bred thousand Of these deaths were
caused by tuberculosis"
The Seal Sale will continue until
.;.,+,, 81 /
who have not already done 50, are
urged to send in their checks as soon
as possible. If Seals have not been re-
ceived in the mail they may be pur-
chased all this week at booths in the
department stores or at the office Of
the Maryland tuberculosis Associ-
ation-9G0 ST. Paul street.

stances, the companies maintain the workers share of these pay ments, taking it out of the pay of the striker after he returns to the job.
 It's apparent that any worker who has been on strike for any length of time is going to have to work months and maybe longer than that to make up for his ac- crued debts. This is something union officials don't care to talk about. When they discuss it at all, they admit off the record that some injustices result, but that in the long run it's question of the greatest good for the greatest number.
 The workers, I'm told, aren't particularly disturbed by this monetary inequity. They figure that it may take them a year to make up for losses incurred by a strike, but that the increase in pay eventually will mean enough to compensate for whatever they have had to put out.

Communication
Nome Nugget, Gentlenen:


 Gentlemen:
 The Northwestern A a k a Chamber of Commerce located in Nome has undertaken with the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce to enter the Rate Hearing Case. This is fight to prevent the steamship companies from increas- ing the freight rates to Alaska as much as from ninety to one hun dred per cent.
 All bodies and all cities and towns in Alaska have undertaken this fight The Alaska Delevop- ment Board has hired at the ex- pense of $12,500 a Washington, D. C., attorney to present the case. Furthermore, the Nome and Fair banks Chambers of Commerce have arranged to have MT. Nor man StineS, a former Nomeite. to represent them at the hearings in Washington. MT. Stines was presi- dent of the Miners and Merchants Bank, the manager of the Ham, mond Consolidated Company at that time and recently was the representative of the War Produc- ton Board in Alaska.
 We are asked to raise whatever funds is possible but we have ob- Iigated ourselves to pay $40O toward this expense.
 The success of our fight against this freight increase is of great importance and value to you and every individual in the Territory. Therefore, if you find it possible to make some subscription toward defraying this expense, it will be very much appreciated and prop erly used.
 Any of your contribu i n S should be mailed to Dick Webb, Treasurer of the N.W.A. Chamber of Commerce, Nome, Alaska. Mr. Webb, as you know, is the man. ager of the Wien Alaska Airlines.
 Respectfully yours,

STRIKE IS ON THE STRIKER

WASHINGTON - Strikes cost the companies money. In most in- stances they cost the public, the consumers, considerable depriva- ton, if not money. But the man who really pays for the strikes while they're in progress is the striker.
 There is a rather general mis- conception that the unions pay the strikers while they are making their no-Work demonstration. Ex cept in the cases of a few compar- atively small old-line unions that have built up tremendous strike funds, out of which they can pay the strikers a meager $10 to $15 a week, this isn't so.
 All unions have strike funds. In some instances these run into mil lions of dollars. But unless the To- cal union welfare committee de- termines that the striker is des- perately in need of help, neither he nor his family gets any finan- cial aid.
 What happens then to a striker? He draws on his savings. He gets credit. If the strike drags out, he goes on the soup line, provided either by his union or by the local chapters of welfare organizations.
 In the General Motors strike in Detroit and other cities observers tell me that there have been very few cases of eviction. The land lord waits for his rent. The grocer extends credit, not only carrying the striker on his books, but often contributing to strike kitchens and emergency relief.
 It is only in rare cases that a striker takes temporary job dur ing strike. Within a union this is drowned upon. He doesn't loaf. He works on the picket lines or otherwise does strike chores, but he doesn't get paid for it.
 Life, health, hospital and other insurance benefits must be met by the striking workers. In a few in-
