PRESIDENT OF FEDERATION
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER ALASKA
Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker of Austin,

thusiastic over the scenic beauties she j
viewed on her trip and over the general :
character of the Alaska women, says the j
Post-Intelligencer of July 5.
“It was like another course of educa- '
tion in the history and geography of ‘
Alaska,” she told a reporter. Her daugh
ter, Miss Ruth Pennybacker. and a friend,
Miss Florence McClellan of Richmond, Va.,
are with the federation president. Both
girls are sophomores at Vassar college, and !
lo them the Alaska trip was a revelation |
“Why, away up in Valdez I found a club
“Why, away up n Valdez I found a club
of twelve women who were accredited
members of our big organization.” said
Mrs. Pennybacker. “And I found that the
Alaska women are strong and staunch in
the maintenance of all the good things in
life. They are strong physically, morally,
and well informed. And the children of
the North are sturdy and proud of being
native Alaskans.
“Clubs in the Northern territory are
comparatively few, although the desire for
them is great. The Seattle women have a
golden opportunity to do good for the
club women of Alaska.”

NEW EIGHT-HOUR LAW CAUSES CESSATION
OF MINING OPERATIONS IN FAIRBANKS CAMP
Although the act providing for an eight
hour working day on all mining operations,
placer as well as quartz, went into effect on
July 11 last, it apparently has not been put
into effect in this district, or if it has, its
introduction has brought with it no dis
turbance of working conditions. In the
districts surrounding Fairbanks, however,
the conditions are different, and there a
controversy has arisen which has brought
a cessation of work on many properties and
at last accounts was still unsettled. The
News-Miner of July 12 contained the follow
ing account of conditions in the Fairbanks
district :
“The new eight hour law went into effect
throughout the territory yesterday, July 11,
and as a result, as predicted in these col
umns some time ago, F airbanks district b*1
came immediately affected. A general strixe
is in progress today in the Chatanika and
(lines districts, and one on a smaller scale
on Ester creek.
“Chatanika is the largest deep placer min
ing district of the three, employing close to
300 men there this'summer. Last night the
men, led by the Russians, it is claimed, held
a mass meeting on the creek above Chata
nika and decided they would not go to work
for less than $5 a day, with an eight hour
shift, instead of the present ten-hour day.
“When the whistles blew this morning the
men assembled but stated their demands in
stead of going down in the shafts. The
operators were expecting it, and refused to
go ahead, some paying off their men, some
locking up their boiler houses and asserting
that they would at once close for the sum
mer.
“Keyes & Rettig started to put. seven
men at work, and Manager Keyes ordered
back the crowd that had assembled, but later
he changed his mind and shut down the
plant. He may not reopen this season, as
he is mining low-grade ground on a large
scale, working some forty-seven men, and
claims that the new law comes close to put
ting him out of business.
"Brevick, Sather & Brevick are working
a few men, but are running short, and will
have to get more men on the job or shut
down.
“There is no violence of any kind, for the
operators are in no degree responsible for the
disastrous effects of the law, and in fact
have opposed it to a man. It is reported
on the streets of Chatanka today that the
men are relenting in their first demands
and that most of them will petition the op
erators to hire them for ten hours at $5, as
t present, or else will work eight hours for
; 54 a day.
“It appears that some of the attorneys in
i terpret the new law to mean that employers
! shall be punished for a \iolation of it if they
i shall ‘cause’ men to be employed longer than
; eight hours, but that if the men themselves
voluntarily ask for ten hours they may be
I employed for that length of time.
“Consequently some of the men in the
1 Chatanika district at least are said to be |
preparing petitions to present to the oper- j
■ ators asking for a resumption of work on !
the ten-hour basis, and if this is done a test
may be made of the law shortly to secure :
1 an interpretation of it in the local courts. 1
Such a case would be brought before a
United States commissioner.
“On Ester creek, Sullivan & Olson closed
down yesterday morning. They were work
ing forty men, and desired to pay $4 a day
for eight hours, but insisted that the men
[ go down in the shaft at a quarter to 8 in the
morning and again at a quarter to 1 at
noon. This would give the men, they fig
ured, eight hours in the faces and tunnels,
and make up some for boarding the men on
eight hours’ work instead of ten, as at pres
ent. The men refused to work under such
conditions.
“E. P. Short is also a large employer of
labor, working some twenty-five or thirty
men. He is paying 54 a day for eight
hours, and the men are at work today. Some
of the smaller mines have not yet decided
what they will do. and the situation is re
ported to be greatly unsettled as yet.
Endeavor to Circumvent Law
“ ‘Like a hail storm through a wheat
field in full harvest,’ is the situation ex
pressed at Olnes. where operations have sus
pended indefinitely. ‘If the legislature had
only been wise enough to have fixed the
time as November 1 or to have waited until
the end of the season.’ said one man. ‘the j
operators and men could have adjusted |
themselves accordingly, but it hits us now
squarely in the middle of the season. The
men do not want to work for $4 a day, and
the operators feel that they cannot pay So
for eight hours. To do otherwise they be-,
lieve would be evading the law. So we're
up against it. and nobody knows what the
outcome will be. The legislature has us
dead to rights, strung up by our thumbs and
helpless.’
“No general meeting of the operators on 1
the creeks has been called, each district
trying to solve its trouble in its own way I
governed by local conditions. The men are j
in the same fix. They want the So a day j
if there is any way to get it, and are not
worried over the extra hours. But now S4
is the most they can hope for from any of
'.he operators, and some of them feel that
to pay this and board the men with one
fifth less work for the day and for the
season is asking too much from ground that
is not bonanza any longer. The answer to
the problem must come quickly, or the sit
uation will become acute at once.”
The News-Miner of the 13th also contains
the following with reference to the eight
hour law:
A Flimsy Pretext
“A peculiar feature of the situation lies
in a ‘joker’ that has been discovered in a j
federal act that would have to be invoked |
to prosecute the operators should they go j
ahead with a ten-hour day at $5 as here
tofore. The original organic act of Alaska
reads as follows in Section 11:
“ ‘That no member of the legislature shall
hold or be appointed to any office which
has been created or the salary or emolu
ments of which have been increased while
ae was a member, during the term for which
he was elected and for one year after the
’xpiration of such term ; and no person hold
ng a commission or appointment under the
United Slates shall be a member of the
legislature or shall hold any office under the
government of said territory.’
“This was amended in the last congress \
ey a special bill enabling certain federal j
ifficials to enforce territorial laws in Alaska j
and assume duties thereunder not in conflict J
with their federal position. However, the act j
i.articularly states that this applies to ‘gov
'rnor, marshals, deputy marshals, clerks of
he district courts and United States com
nissioners acting as justices of the peace,
udges of probate courts, recorders and cor
mers.’ No mention whatever is made of
he district attorney’s office, where such
irosecutions for the infringement of laws
iriginate. It is believed by good legal au
horities that any prosecutions under the
light-hour law could not be started by the
ederal authorities, which further compli
■ates the situation.
“Incidentally it might also be mentioned
hat this congressional act also left out the
lame of the territorial secretary, who is the
ax collector of the territory, and how he
an serve both the government and the ter
itory without specific authority is not ex- j
jlained.”

COURTS OF UNITED STATES
HOLD DANGEROUS POWER
That the courts hold a more sovereign
power than congress or state legislatures,
and the public,must focus its attention upon
judicial bodies if labor problems are to be
solved, was the theme of an address on
“Labor and the Courts,” by Dr. J. Allen
Smith, professor of political economy at the
Washington state university, before mem
bers of the Central Labor Council of Seattle
recently. The Post-Intelligencer’s report of
the lecture quoted the doctor as saying: j
“The courts of the United States have a
unique power in censoring all legislation. I
In England they have no such censorship. ,
The guardian of the constitution in Eng- :
land is the house of commons. The jus- j
tice, wisdom and expediency of laws is de- j
termined by this body. In the United States ;
the courts have taken the right to be the [
custodians of the constitution.
“Members of the bench are trained in the
common law idea. Too much depends
upon questions of precedent. When you
lodge final power in a branch of the gov
ernment that follows precedent, you do
not solve any problems. The important
thing is not, is the law constitutional, but
is it necessary?”
Dr. Smith cited the Danbury hatters’
case, the interpretations placed upon the [
Sherman anti-trust act and other supreme !
court decisions to prove his point that the |
view of the employing class was reflected
in the attitude of the supreme court.
“It is highly advisable that all interests
are represented in the state, so that the
unconscious desires of one class will meet
those of another class,” he continued. “We
'will never solve our labor problems until
we direct our attention upon the body that
exerts such a great influence on our laws
as the court.”

THE CROSBY BATHS
LIEBKNECHT MAKES APPEAL
TO LABOR TO END WAR
The following is the appeal of Dr. Karl
I.iebknecht, the German Socialist leader,
and the only member of the reichstag to
vote against the war bill, to the newspaper
and labor leaders to use their intluence to
end the war:
“As a labor leader I am pleased to write
a message of brotherhood to the British
Socialists at a time when the ruling classes
of Germany and Great Britain are trying
by all the means in their power to incite
bloodthirsty hatred between the two peoples.
“But it is painful to write at a time when
the radiant hope of previous days, the So
cialist International, lies smashed, with its
thousand expectations, when even many So
cialists of the belligerent countries in this
most rapacious of all wars of robbery will
ingly put on the yoke of imperialism.
“Confusion reigns in the rank and file of
the Socialist army. Many Socialists blame
our principles for our present failure. It
is not our principles w'hich have failed, but
the representatives of those principles.
“All the phrases of ‘national defense’ and
‘liberation of the people’ with which im
perialism decorates its instruments of mur
der are deceiving tinsel. The liberation of
each nation mast be the result of its own
work. Only blindness can command the
continuation of slaughter until the enemy is
crushed. The well-being of all nations is in
separably connected.
“The world war, which has smashed the
International, must, however, be realized
as a powerful sermon making clear the need
for a new international of another kind and
with a different force from that which the
capitalist powers so easily shattered last
August.
“Only in the co-operation of the working
masses of all countries in times of wrar, as
in times of peace, does the salvation of hu
manity lie. Nowhere have the masses de
sired this war. Why should they, then,
murder each other to finish it? It would
be a sign of weakness, it is said, for any one
people to suggest peace. Weil, let all the
people suggest it together. The nation which
speaks first will not show weakness, but
strength, and will win glory and the grati
tude of posterity.
“Already among German workers there is
a far greater opposition to the war than
As generally supposed, and the louder the
‘echo of the cry for peace in other countries,
the morev ehemently and energetically will
they work for peace here.”
ROAD WORK
While the citizens of neighboring districts
are spending money in sending telegrams of
protest to the road commission calling at
tention to the beggarly sums appropriated
for roads, the Iditarod district is getting
along nicely, apparently, with the great sum
of SI.850 which was set aside for the roads
of this district. Foreman Jenkins has had
some work done on the ITat-Iditarod
,«*oad, and a number of enterprising oper
ators and freighters of the district have
agreed to help out the road commission by
contributing the use of their teams for the
purpose of hauling gravel for a specified
number of days each, without cost to the
nation or territoy.
Paul Gasse, one of the old-timers who left

Manitoba for a visit with relatives, probably

constructed from Winnipeg to Hudson bay.
The find—like all finds—is said to be of
immense value, and while he i- in that part
of Canada Mr. Gasse will investigate for

THE “WAR BOOM”
(Philadelphia Ledger
The “war boom” has hit Pennsylvania
like a tidal wave. Every day some new
firm announces great orders for munitions
that mean employment for thousands. This
gun company has a million rifles to make,
that one 1,500 big gun parts. A corporation
making steel cars in times of peace is get
ting ready to turn out shells for six-inch
guns; another that builds locomotives is
adding shrapnel to its products.
The sharpest example is Chester. There
23.000 new workmen are to be taken on
to fill orders for arms and ammunition in
the Eddystone plant of the Baldwin Loco
motive Company. The “boom” condition
is expected to last two years, according to
present orders; and it is reflected in the
real estate field by plans for 2,000 new
homes made necessary by this small army.
From all these signs it is easy to believe
that Europe’s buying agents have taken the
field with a rush, that England and Russia
are spending 8500,000,000, France 8400,
300.000 and Italy 8100,000,000.
And why? For nine months the “boom”
that all had prophesied held off; everewnfi
:!ence among the allies, slipshod methods of
provisioning may have accounted for it.
The present rush of orders is a spectacular
testimonial to the fact that the remarkable
brain of David Lloyd George is in charge

fect have leapt across the Atlantic.
