AL WHITE
Candidate for Alaska legislature
PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the la3t legislature and be
lieve the legislature should get as much
information as possible from the prospect
ors of Alaska relative to mining legislation.
ELECTION LAW.
I favor the enactment of a lawful and
proper election law; one that will meet
with the approval of the people of this
district.
LABOR.
I favor the passage of proper legisla
tion conducive to the prosperity and hap
piness of the laboring man, and, therefore,
I favor a repeal of the present eight-hour
law. I believe laboring men have a legal .
and moral right to form trades unions for
* the purpose of peaceably assuring concert
ed action in behalf of those things to which
they are entitled and which, without or
ganization, individuals cannot obtain.
I advocate and defend the right of work
ers of every branch of activity to organize
for the purpose of securing shorter hours
and increased wages.
I favor the enactment of a law making
It a felony to participate in any combina
tion or conspiracy to blacklist employees.
I also favor an employer’s liability act,
as well as safety appliance legislation to
protect the limbs, lives and health of the
workers.
CANNERIES.
* I believe a law should be evicted and a
tax levied on the canneries and their pro
duction—a law that would compel the can
nery interests to pay.
DEVELOPMENT.
I favor the immediate development of
all the resources of Alaska and especially
this district, and believe the control should
be left to the people of Alaska and demand
that our coal, timber, oil and all other re
sources be opened for entry.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which intereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged,

Italian Policeman Take* Chance That
Member of Parliament Can Be Hit
On the Face—Body Immune..
ROME, Aug. 15.—Policeman Gugli
elmo Caracciolo is today $200 richer
for having slapped the face of Dep
uty Dugonl, a Socialist member of
parliament. Caracciolo also will re
ceive a medal as soon as it can be
suitably designed and coined.
During the recent Socialist strike
in Italy, Deputy Dugonl found himself
at the head of a body of demonstra
tors. In every conflict with the po
lice or military Dugonl managed to
escape physical mussing up, asserting
his immunity as a member of Parlia
ment, and defying anyone to touch
him.
Dugoni’s bluff remained effective
until he met Policeman Caracciolo.
The latter*declded that while the dep
uty’s body might be inviolable, he
would take a chance thaj. his face
wasn’t, and slapped it twice, inviting
the furious deputy later to take said
face back to Parliament and show it
to his colleagues.
Deputy Altobelli, a fellow Social
| ist member of parliament, but belong
ing to a faction opposed to the strike,
j took up a subscription of one-franc
contributions. He found 1,500 people
glad to contribute towards the purse
and the medal.
