COPPER STRIKERS INVITE PROBE;
ALASKA PAY SCHEDULE THEIR AIM
Concerning the strike at McCarthy,
about which reports were sent out to
the effect that it was caused by Ger
man sympathizers, The Gateway is in
receipt of a letter from Harold John
son, one of the miners formerly em
ployed in the Jumbo mine, in which he
sets forth the following as the miner’s
side of the strike:
“The men’s quarrel is not with the
officials, but with the policy and di
rectors of the policy of the Kennecott
Copper Corporation.
“No one can venture to predict when
or how the matter will he settled, but
one thing is certain, if they are forced
to a settlement without having
demands granted, hardly one-third of
the men will go back to work. The
Kennecott district is the copper Klon
dike, producing as. much as Dawson
in its halcyon days and employing C50
men at an average wage prior to the
strike of less than $4 per day and
board, 20 per cent below the scale of
interior Alaska. The men want the
standard scale of interior Alaska.
“At the request of the men and of
the Kennecott officials the saloons at
McCarthy were ordered closed during
the strike, so perfect ordr was and
is being maintained.
“The men also demand an increase
for their Japanese cooks and waiters,
maintaining that as they were doing
white men’s work they were entitled
to at least two-thirds of white men’s
pay. So the Japanese joined the strike
and are cooking for the men, who are

Mr. and Mrs. William Sauers and
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ballaine enter
tained with an informal dance at their
bungalow last evening, and a most en
joyable evening was spent by the
many couples who went out by auto
mobile and speeder. The bungalow
was tastefully decorated and lighted
with Japanese lanterns and after all
had danced to their heart’s content a
most appetising luncheon was served
after which the merrymakers whiled
away another hour with ukulele and
song. Miss Ballaine will leave for the
! outside Sunday on the Watson in
company with Miss Sylvia Wold, both
of whom will be missed by their many
I friends. Miss Ballaine will reenter
' college next fall and Miss Wold will
return here to resume her place in

“The men gave a dance Juno 19, in
viting the people of McCarthy to at
tend and were delighted that nearly
all the ladies of McCarthy were pres
ent. Kvery one spent a very enjoyable
evening The men who had been work
ing all winter on top of a snow-capped
peak were delighted to come down into
the warm valley level and their camp
looks more like a picnic ground than
strikers’ quarters.
“The company has hinted at German
sympathizers and agitators, appealed
to the men’s patriotism, threatend to
call for government intervention, any
thing except to pay the money asked.
“If the first charge is true, German
sympathizers and agitators must be
unusually active in the Copper river
valley, as there were wage difficulties
in January, June and December of
191(1, none of which were settled to
the satisfaction of the men.
“The patriotic appeal was the usual
trick of wrapping profits in the flag
and saying ‘hands off, don’t soil the
flag/
“The threat of intervention was wel
comed by the strikers, as that would
be equivalent to granting their de
mands, and the government would be
apt to learn the truth concerning the
Kennecott Copper Corporation. The
government will never have a chance
to investigate this affair, it is a safe
prediction—not if the corporation’s in
fluence is what it is said to be.
“The facts in the foregoing are ab
solutely correct, as I am the spokes
man for the Jumbo miners.
