AN EDITORIAL FOR EDITORS
Politics is quite a game when those
playing it can keep from getting the
political viewpoint, that is, the fol
lowing viewpoint:
That the other fellow is so bad he
really ought to be locked up.
That your man is perfect. '
That the really good work the other
fellow does is merely playing to the
gallery.
That your man never makes a mis
take.
That the supporters of your man's
opponent can recognize ability in
your favorite without trying the crawl
on the bandwagon and shove you
away from the perequisites.
That you are being given a raw
deal if the man you are for doesn’t
immediately appoint you to a fat job.
That the world really depends on
politics to keep it moving.
Just now the editorial friends of
Wickersham tend to forget the Golden
Rule when they speak of Sulzer and
Sulzer’s cohorts of the pen and type
writer see mto figure that Jim is un
der indictment. Why not act about it
like you would want the other fel
low to act if you wer£ either of the
two above mentioned.—Gateway.
THE program for the construction
of a powerful fleet of aircraft has been
given President Wilson’s approval,
and consequently it has an excellent
chance of passing congress. An initial
appropriation of $600,000,000 for the
construction of 35,000 airplanes and
the training of many thousand avi
ators will he asked of congress this
week, and if the present plan is put
into effect, the fleet untimately will
consist of 100,000 machines.

Secretary Barry in Letter to President
Conley States That He is Meeting
With Success in Getting Men to
•loin Union—Quiet Prevails.
The following letter was received
this morning by President Wm. Con-1
ley of the local union, Western Fed
eration of Miners, from Secretary G.
M. Barry, who is at the scene of the
strike. Mr. Barry reports matters in
pretty much the same shape as they
were last week, with the miners stand
ing pat in their demands. The com
pany and men are negotiating for a
settlement, which may be reached at
any time.
" Juneau and Cordova papers pub
lishing statement, "only half the men
at Bonanza and Jumbo mines out,”
is absolutely false. Every man at the
Kennecott mines walked out. The
millmen remained there, drawing pay
and doing nothing until settlement.
Yesterday got twenty men aboard a
special train with Jim Fozard as
strike breaker employer and sent him
with the men to the mines to herd
them. The train made a stop at Strel
na, where five of the number got next
and left the train. The other fifteen
were taken to the mine without a
stop at this place. One of them got
off the train and hot-footed it down
here with his blankets, four stayed
at the lower camp and ten went to
the mine, with the result that all of
the millmen walked out this morn
ing, with the four strike breakers,
leaving the company with ten strike
breakers and mill men claim they will
be down here this evening. Now Billy
I want you to take every precaution

to see that this true statement of con-.
ditions ts as wide publicity as pos
sible. Send notice to Seattle Star, de
nial to Juneau and Cordova papers of
the statement they published and1
have notices posted conspicuously all!
over coast towns. Am meeting with
moderate success in getting them in
the Union, but we must show a spirit!
of activity to show them it is to their!
interest to join the Union. Am going
to the Mother Lode tomorrow.”
STRIKK KRKAKKR8 IMPORTKI)
TO KKXNKCOTT WALK OUT
Word from Kennecott by the last
boat states that on July \ a special
train brought IS strike breakers from
Cordova to take the striking miners'
places, hut the men deserted in a
body upon learning of conditions in
the mine, and went over to the strik
ers. It is stated thatthe millmen re
fused ot work with the strike break
ers. It is stated that the millmen re
fused to work with the strike break
ers and with the exception of six or <
seven married men, walked out in a
body.
The strikers are behaving in an;
orderly manner and have kept close
rein upon their men to prevent any
acts which would cause the soldiers'
to interfere with their liberties.
Up to the time the letter was mail
ed conditions were much the same as1
when Marshal Brenneman left. The:
miners’ camp at Blackburn presents j
a busy scene, with the men pitching
horse shoes, wrestling, indulging jn|
sports, and acting generally like a lot I
of big boys at play. According to Har-1
old Johnson, press correspondent for i
the miners, the strikers believe theyj
have every chance to win, and are I
standing pat in their demands for a
dollar a day raise. '
