TUESDAY. APRIL iS. 19^
ludging by the tone oi outside
Piet'S continent, mg as well as
mtie business, is very much
a.a.meu ai me prospect ot a great
railroad strike ueveiopmg as a re
sult ot tne ue in a 11a ot Uie rail
load brotherhoods tor an eight
hour uay l hts is especially ap
parent in the remarks ot that por
tion ot the press wuicti serves as
the mouthpiece of the corporate
interests, buch journals are most
assiuuously busy at the task of
presenting to the public the evils
that me bound to result it the
railroad men persist in their de
mand for an extension to them
selves of a portion of the indus
trial freedom already conferred
on the toilers in other lines of
industry.
It is noticeable, however, that
they have very little to say in de
fense of the railroads, their ef
forts being mainly devoted to an
endeavor to fill the public mind
with visions of dire calamity to
inevitably follow a continuation
of the obdurate attitude of the
railroaders. General industrial
depression : paralysis of manufac
luring and chaos in the labor
world are the pictures conjured
up to mislead the people into an
attitude antagonistic to the train
men.
tso far as observed, there is
even an absence ol tlic usual'de
nunciations of "exorbitant de
manus,” which also betrays a
weakness in the cause of tbe rail
ioau$. Taking Uien owu .state
ments as an index tor judgment,
it appears that the railroays fully
recognize the justice of the de
nianu for an eight hour day but
are not inclined to accede thereto
on the general principle that a
giant to labor is a blow at their
own power and privileges. The
truth of the matter is that the
U'atiroads have no adequate de
fense to make in the present sit
uation.
Wight at the present time the
laihoaus are enjoying exceeding
ly prosperous times and are mak
ing ia.ge pi outs w ith every pros
pect oi an indefinite continuance
i tlie same desirable conditions,
in audition, they have, in the past
tew months, received permission
irom the government to niatcrial
> increase their freight charges
uul have' been granted mail con
tracts at rates which virtually
amount to subsidies. The gov
ernment has shown every inclina
tion to extend all’ reasonable aid
and has granted ail manner of
concessions purely upon their
own representation that they
w ere getting a little the worst of
:t because of the restrictions oi
the interstate commerce commis
sion. In every way they have
been given a square deal and an
opportunity to increase their
profits, favors have been theirs
in generous quanaity but when
their hard working employes in
MSt that they be granted a little
concession in the shape of a re
duction in the present overlong
working hours, their own benefits
are forgotten and the howl goes
up that they are unable to meet
Tie demand and are forced to re
--i st—even to the extent of sus
taining a strike that ftill plunge
the country into industrial chaos
There js not the 5gist doubt
that a railroad strike at this time,
when the country is recovering
from the greatest business and
industrial depression in its his
tory, would bfc nothing short of
a national calamity A general
railroad strike just now would
paralyze the business of the
whole country and would also
every probably precipitate a
financial panic greater than has
ever been endured. But. there
need not be any strike if the rail
roads are willing to do as they
have been done by.
All danger of a strike can be
averted by the railroads passing
n to their emplavess a very
small portion of the benefits
which they themselves are re
ceiving. The men are asking
nothing exorbitant. The eight
hour nay is in every way a legi
timate and reasonable demand
and entails no great hardship on
the railroad concerns. Consider
ing the prosperity the railroads
are themselves enjoying, they are
justly due to gTant a tithe of their
oCnehts to the men who form the'
very backbone of fcbeir commer
cial existence. There are no class
of workers who are harder work
ed or more vitally concerned in
the prosperity of a business than
are those who pilot the tramc of
the country over the transporta
tion routes. And, in no business
is there a demand for a higher
percentage of etnciency, intelli
gence or character than is requir
ed of the'tnen engaged in railroad
traffic.
Considering the exacting nature
of their duties, an eight hour day
is no more than they are entitled
to and the demand therefor
should be inymediately and cheer
fully granted. 1 he question of
costs enters into the matter but
little, for, interstate commerce
commission regulations notwith
standing, the shippers will have
to pay the last cent of whatever
extra expense would be entailed
in granting the demands of the
men The railroad companies,
therefore, have very little excuse
for refusing the demand of their
men and by so doing precipitat
ing a strike which will ruin the
piesent feeble prosperity of the
nation and create conditions
which cannot be contemplated
without alarm

There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good” in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS”
White Boot
"With the Red-Line
’round the Top”
You know that when a Boot
comes in and simple sweeps the country
like “HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to
be SOMETHIN^ UNUSUAL —for Alaska wear
the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich ‘‘HIPRESS” Boots actually wear longer than Iron or steel!
You don’t hare to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather aolaa.
The reason for tills unusual aetrice Is that “HIPRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They’
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
• elded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
There’s nothing to mbs apart —they can’t leak, peel, crack or *obt!
They’re comfortable, tew —shaped to the f<»t while its working. We
promise that once you start weohag White "HJPRESS” you'll noser bo
satisfied w.th anything else.
And remember—there is but ONE "HIPRESS” Boot—U has
a Red-Line ’round Use Top.
