Candidate for Alaska legislature
PLACER LAW
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last 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. Generally believed miners favor Ariz
ona 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 tne rignt ot wora
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 enacted 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,

SIEVE BIRCH
TELLS OF STRIKE
Sends Word To Daniel Guggenheim
of Reported Big Strike In Broad
Pass Country.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—Daniel
Guggenheim, the head of the Gug
genheim mining interests in Alaska,
announced here today that he had
received a telegram from Steven
Birch, the managing director of the
Alaska Syndicate, who is now in Se
attle, that he had received word of
a big strike in the Broad Pass coun
try.
Mr. Guggenheim stated that his in
formation of the new strike was very
vague and that he would have to wait
for further advices before forming an
opinion regarding its value.
NOME FIGHTING
WICK’S BILL
Say He Is Aiding Big Corporations
and Wants a Commission Form
of Government.
1
!
NOME, Sept. 14.—At a mass meet
ing held here last night attended by
one of the largest crowds ever as
sembled under one roof the citizens
of Nome passed resolutions protest
ing against the Wickersham commis
sion form of government, which he
advocates and which he is striving
to have passed by congress for the
government of the north.
Not a voice was raised in favor of
the Wickersham bill, which is regard
ed here with disfavor, as the people
denounce the attempt to foist the old
Beveridge bill on Alaska, even if it
Is modified.
The prospectors and miners and
business men here are opposed to
government by appointive officers
and insist upon that full measure of
local government and home rule for
which the people of the United States
have always fought and which the
people of Alaska insist upon because
of the inability of carpet bag rule
to adapt itself to the conditions in
the north.
The citizens here do not know C. E.
Bunnell, of Valdez, but are preparing
to give him the largest vote ever giv
en a candidate in Alaska, as the best
means of showing their opposition
and objection to the Wickersham
measures.
The mass meeting also passed res
olutions denouncing the Johnson bill
favored by Delegate /Wickersfoam,
which allowed the big mining cor
porations of this section to pass this
year without doing assessment worn
because of the storm that wrecked
Nome last fall. It is.pointed out that
the people of this city suffered the
loss of property, while the mining op
erators suffered nothing, yet the big
operators are helped by Delegate
Wickersham and the businessmen of
this city are forgotten.
