WHY CRUCIFY ALASKA
The spectacle of Alaskan fleets
being tied up at the opening of
’her season of greatest activity
presents a deplorable condition.
If not remedied as to every dis
pute it may lead to paralysis in
mining, fishing, trade, tourist and
other traffic—throwing tens of
thousands out of employment,
possibly for the entire season—
and cutting off food and other es
sential supplies for many if not
every Alaskan community.
Aside from any disputes be
tween shipping interests and men
in the marine services or in Al
askan industries and the merits
thereof, disputes as to union con
trol and picketing of waterfronts
Yreatss a condition in which the
people of Alaska are innocent vie
tims.
When it is possible for a
systematic process settlement of
all such disputes, should the peo
ple of Aaska periodically be jeop
aldized or crucified.
Sweden has established a sys
tem of dealing with similar dis
putes so that industry carries on
while the points at issue are set
tled by agreement. Oregon has
adopted laws on somewhat sim
ilar lines that are said to be prov
mg effective.
Not only is it vital to the peo
ple of Alaska but also to the
producers, manufacturers and
army of employes in the States
who thrive and are afforded em
ployment because of the Alaskan
activities.
If the great fishing industry of
Alaska be compelled to suspend
for the season. Alaskan revenues
will go dwindling—and the same
applies as to mining. The terri
tory is vitally concerned from
many angles.
Urgency of speedy settlement
by the process of right and jus
tice to all—and for the benefit of
all, should appeal to every in
1: rested factor—and the whole
aggravated matter cleared up at
lonce to avert a situation nothing
s^ort of disaster far and near. Al
< . i shouild be allowed to carry
on lest she and thousands outside
he bounds suffer immeasurably.
N, ws coming recently of the
picketing of ships for the Alaska
I rail belt points, caused no little
uneasiness. Later comes word the
matter is settled. This is a dis
j tinct relief so far as this parti
| cular dispute is concerned. But
there are other disputes touching
Alaska shipping and industry
still pending. May they be 'like
wise settled speedily—but it is
to be hoped the matter will! not
stop there. Let all parties adopt
the sane course, and lay down a
policy whereby Alaska will be
forever released of the all too
frequent interruptions and em
barassments that threaten her
progress and prosperity.

This period will probably go down
as the can age, not only because of 1
the popularity and variety of canned
goods, but for the reason thousands
of inventors have tried their talents
on caa openers. Here is one that
does the trick neatly, sans jagged
edges, and swings against the wall
when not in use.
