“rat s’’-unfair labor-is just as pronoun
ced today as ever. And this applies
with equal emphasis to “rats” outside
of the domain of skilled labor.
On more than one occasion, as
“father of the chapel,” a designation
well understood by the craft, he has
had to call out every man in the office
because the “ghost didn’t valk” as
provided by the wage scale prevailing.
There is, however, considerable fict
ion about, this term “working” man.
Too often, it is associated only with
the individual who delves with the
pick or shovel or is otherwise employ
ed at a given wage This is all honest
and honorable and the men who follow
such vocations are entitled to the res
pect of all good citizens. They are
performing a very necessary part of
the world’s work. Hut there is
another class of men who do some work
themselves, indeed, who do more
work than the wage earner. Take it.
in our own town: We are safe in as
serting that there are not four harder
working men in Seward than S. M.
Graff, manager oi the electric light
plant; Judge Morlord, the attorney; j
Harry Hoben, of the Alaska transfer, |
and K. Leven, proprietor of the Com - j
merce Cafe. Other heads of business j
concerns or in the professions are j
equally industrious.
When anybody tells you that the j
Gateway is unfriendly, yea, is not a !
devoted friend of the man who “earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow,”
you may teli him he is in error—or go
stronger than that, if you like.
