AL WHITE
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.
1 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 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 lntereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged.

Members of Railroad Commission

and Consider Routes.
Chairman Edes and Lieut. Mears
of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission were both in Valdez this
morning, Mr. Edes having arrived
from Ship Creek, and Lieut. Mears
having come over the wagon road in
the road commission automobile with
Lieut. Kunzlg from the mouth of the
Delta.
When interviewed by Secretary
Fish of the Valdez Commercial As
sociation, Lieut. Mears stated that as
^oon as he could make the trip over
the Copper River and Northwestern
railway to Kennecott, he would re
turn to Valdez and investigate thor
oughly the merits of the Valdez
route over Thompson’s pass. He
stated that he was well pleased with
his trip over the wagon road, having
left McCarty on the Tanana on Aug
ust 29. The last 150 miles of the
trip was made in two days, arriving
here at 11:30 last night. By reason
of being anxious to connect with the
Mariposa, the run from Wortman was
made.after dark, but this part of the
route would receive his attention on
return.
Chairman Edes will leave the Mari
posa at Ellamar, where the govern
ment launch "Explorer” is awaiting
him, and go over to Portage Bay,
where he will look into the situa
tion at that point. He will then re
turn to Valdez and go over the Val
dez route to Copper Center.
Commissioner Riggs, who accom
panied Lieut. Mears as far as Cop
per Center, went over the route sur
veyed by Henry Deyo to the Mata
jiuska coal fields, and will come to
the coast by way of Ship Creek, and
expects to meet the other members
of the commission at Valdez.

CENSORSHIP NOW
ON BUTTE NEWS
Militia Arrests Leaders of the In
surgent Miners and Peace Pre
vails for the Present.
BUTTE, Sept. 4.—The fears of the
residents of Butte that the miners
Would avenge themselves by burn
ing the business section of the city
because of the bringing of the militia
have been allayed and it is now hop
ed that no further disorders will be
attempted by the different factions.
The city is under martial law and
all saloons have been closed. Even
newspapers have dome under a strict
censorship, a lieutenant having been
appointed to check editions before
they are permitted to go to press..
Correspondents for outside news ag
encies have also been notified not to
send out reports before they have
passed through the hands of a censor.
The militia have arrested nearly all
the leaders of the insurgent miners,
together with the men responsible
for the assault on Federation men
when they were paraded through the
streets and compelled to join the in
surgents. The members of the Fed
eration are jubilant over the arrest
of the insurgent leaders and assert
that the new organization will soon
collapse.
Muckie McDonald, president of the
insurgents, has disappeared. The of
ficers of the militia believe that he
has left the city to avoid arrest, but
the insurgents claim that he has met
with foul play from the Federation
members or has been incarcerated in
prison by the militia.
OTTO KANITZ
BON TRIAL
Otto Kanitz was placed on trial
this morning in the commissioner’s
court charged with having maintain
ed a house of ill repute at the Ari
zona on McKinley street.
The two women who had lived in
the Arizona gave damaging testimony
against him, claiming not only that
Kanitz secured the greater part of
their earnings, but also that he held
up the men who called upon them
and demanded hush money.
An effort was made by Charles
Ganty, attorney for the defense, to
have the women give the names of
the men involved, but the court re
fused to allow them to answer.
