1 CONDITION
AT ANCHORAGE
EXPLANATION OF WALK-OUT
AND WHAT LEAD TO IT
SET FORTH
(Continued from yesterday.)
Conditions at the boarding cars
were little better. Three settings
of the tables were necessary and
meals had bg be consumed in less
than 15 minute
The system of driving the men
inaugurated by Lieut. C. H. Jones,
more familiarly known as “Hurry
'up" Jones, and faithfully followed
by the foremen, is an ingenius one
indicating a high grade of “effici
ency” in the inventor. Four favor
ed men known as “pacemakers”
paid the munificient sum of six
cents an hour more than their com
panions, were placed in front,
while the quartet were driving one
spike each, all those behind them
were expected to drive two, and if
the latter were unable to keep the
pace they were cursed and abused
until the end of the day and then
discharged. The men were not
given time while on the job to
light pipes or get a drink of
water.
This system kept three gangs
moving—one on the job, one going
to and the third coming from An
chorage. The following conversa
tion over the phone, with one of the
foremen at the Peters creek sending
end, was overheard by one of my
informants:
“Send me 15 more men on the
morning train. Yes, better send
that many ever ymorning until fur
ther notice, for I’m going to kill
off a lot of those blankety blanked
blanks.” This incident occurred only
a day or two before the walkout.
After the gang had been reduced
to about a dozen, one of the new
arrivals, induced to go on the job
through misrepresentation, inaugu
rated a one-man walkout. Foreman
Thomas armed himself and at the
point of a gun drove the man from
the train which was about to re
turn to Anchorage. This is the only
demonstration of violence thus far
reported from either “trench.”
Several of the men have been
placed on the Commission blacklist
because they complained of their
treatment before the walkout, yet
Jones stated after the insurrection
that “everything could have been
fixed up before the trouble” if the
men had sent someone with him to
the commission with their com
plaints. He has no reputation as
humorist.
To the executive committee of
the chamber of commerce, Commis
sioner Mears expressed a desire for
an early and amicable settlement.
He also stated that the men had
not played fair in walking out
without first having reported their
grievances to him. In a statement
not intended for publication he also
indicated a desire to use the mailed
fist in dealing with the ' situation,
suspension of navigation being about
the only obstacle to deportation of
“undesirables.” This last mentioned
incident has not yet been made
public here.
As many of those now considered
“undesirables” by the commissioner
are here in violation of the iymmi
gration laws, and they were import
ed principally from British Columbia
with knowledge," if not through con
nivance with men recognized as
agents of the commission, for the
purpose of compelling Americans
and citizens of Alaska to accept
greatly reduced wages if given em
ployment on “their own railroad."
Mears has been advised not to start
something he might find embarras
ing to finish. It is to the credit of
these aliens and socalled “bohunks”
that the great majority of them
are among the most earnest yet
conservative advocates of better
working conditions and wages here.
Those having the greatest represen
tation here are Russians, Austrians
and Greeks.
Included in the list of officers of
the new organization are several
sourdoughs well known in almost
every mining camp in the territory;
they are: Jack Sutherland, presi
dent; Jack Blase, vice-president; J.
J. Ross, secretary; E. B. Allenbach,
treasurer; Pete Malamed, conductor;
Tony Kaloff and C. Miller, sergeants
at-arms; Messrs. Qulokoviski, Baker
and Hanson, trustees; E. R. Wilson,
A. D. Warner, Ed. Christenson, P.
Gillovich, Mike Sherry, Barnhill and
Graham, executive committee.
Construction of a labor temple,
with ground dimensions 50 by 120
feet, is in progress on a lot on
Seventh Ave, donated to the or
ganization by E. J. Warner, vice
president of the chamber of com
merce, and G. M. Campbell, an
other prominent business man. The
‘upper floor will be occupied by liv
1 corns and a commodious din.ng
room and kitchen; two officers wi'l
occupy the front of the lower floor
and back of these will be a large
assembly hall to be used for public
meetings and by the union, Pioneers,
Arctic Brotherhood, Socialists and
other organizations. An unusual
scene was presented today, when
four large bobsleds loaded with
^building logs and pulled by teams
of 22 to 30 men moved continuously
between the timber and building site.
The committee supervising construct
ion are: Jack Sutherland, John Gil
lespie, Guy Cordiner, Pete Mallamed,
- Buffington, Alex. Togoff, H.
Kingsbury, Pete Amet and George
Frazier.
Following a conference a week ago
between commissioner Mears and a
committee representing the union, the
former forwarded to Washington the
