SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, AUGUST U>. 1916.
What effect would that railroad strike have? It would
tie up two hundred and twenty-live railroad systems, put
(Hit of work nearly half a million men and bring rust on a
quarter of a million miles of rails. This may not get home
right away, but when we are reminded that this mileage
is greater than the total mileage ol railroads in Europe
we must listen. Europe altogether has 207, 000 miles ol
railroads, and yet you can hardly get away from the sound
of a locomotive in any of those countries over there.
The wages for those four hundred thousand men or
so would be between one million and two million dollars a
day or enough to pay for a war for an ordinary nation,
but the biggest item of all would be the loss due to the lack
of transportation. If the wages would be two million a
day and the companies are making money and the public
also by having the railroads what would be the national
loss?
While talking about that railroad strike at all it is
suggested to anyone to say that it is about time the world
became reconciled to the fact that an eight hour day must
be granted in all work. To make a man work longer at
any sort of hard labor is not a whit better than driving
slaves. Here in Seward and elsewhere the government
admits this fact and the government should not only ad
mit it but it should make the principle be practised gener
ally all over the nation. Of course, railroad trainmen are
not the “hardest worked” men in the world but when they
or anv other sort of workers give a third ot their lives and
%
a half of their “waking lives” to the service of companies
thev are doing their share. 1 he next step will be to short
en the hours of all workingmen in all sorts of employment,
and this step cannot be taken too soon.
There is all the difference in the world between a town*
like Seward and a town in some interior country. This is
a town in a new land and steamboats come all the time
bringing new people of all sorts. Have you ever noticed
what a difference this makes in the character ol the resi
dents of the people of a town? This is just said to get
people thinking for themselves.

WAIST FOR EVERY FIGURE—
ALSO A I'KiL RE—(8),
FOR EVERY WAIST
(Special to Gateway by United 1'ress)
CHICAGO, August 8.—“A waist for
every figure."
That’s the order tacked up in the
factory of every waist manufacturer
in Chicago, they admitted today. The
makers showed the rc/ uit of the order
at this week’s Fall Style show of the
Chicago Garment Manufacturers' As
sociation, at Bismarck gradens. And
of course there’s a figure ($) for
every waist, too; and quite high they
'are in some cases.
The “two-in-one” collar stands out
most prominently in the making of
waists “for every figure.” The new!
collar is one that turns up or down, j
sometimes called the high and low j
collar.
“It’s turned down for the young
woman and up for the* woman who—
isn’t young.’’ waist manufacturers ex
plained today.
Sleeves for fall waists are made full
with a plain, military, attached culT.
Georgette crepe and crepe de t hine
are the prevailing materials. White,
flesh, navy blue, black, tan, brown,
and a few greys will be the colors
worn.
