“WICK” BUSY
| ON CANNERY
• SEATTLE, Nov. 2, (By Mail).—
C. H. Younger. State Labor Commis
sioner, has been notified by Jas. Wick
ershum that proper steps have been
taken to present for Congressional in
vestigation labor conditions arising in
Alaska by reason of the Oriental con
tract system now in effect during the
cannery season.
The charges on which the investiga
tion is to be based were filed with
Commissioner Younger against Wopg
On, a Portland Chinese labor contrac
tor, by a cannery employee of Alaska,
who was under the contract system
and alleges to have been grossly mis
treated without redress.
Wickersham wrote for a copy of the
testimony taken by state and Federal
employees of Wong On, who claimed
that their wages were wrongfully
withheld. The testimony is to be used,
Wiikersham said, in committee meet
ings on the Alaska fisheries bill, which
is to be taken up December 7.
In complying with the request Com
missioner Younger stated that he had
assurances of cannery firms operating
in Alaska that they would co-operate i
in either state or Federal legislation
designed to remedy contract labor
abuses which have prevailed in the
North for years.
Getting the employees’ wages back
through gambling games run by the i
foremen, who paid the contractor a
percentage, and charging the losses'
against the men as groceries, is one
of the charges made in the Wong On
case.

N EXT time your boots wear

Roots and you’ll find it will be a
long spell before you need an
other pair,
“Hipress” outwears any boot ever
made. There’s a mighty good reason,
fjr “Hipress” isn’t “built up” like
other boots. Tt’s welded into one solid
piac without a seam—so there’s no
place for it to leak—and it’s actually
made of the same extra tough rubber
that goes into Goodrich tires. Also it s
the boot for solid comfort.
