LUJO BRENTANO
Chiet among Lujo Brentano s etiorts, economist
who died Wednesday at Munich, was his opposition to
Lassalle’s doctrine that the laboring population increases
or decreases in fixed relation to the rise or fall of wages
—a rise leading to a growth of population, which, by
enhancing the supply of labor, is followed by a corres
ponding fall of wages. That the condition of the work
ing man will never permanently rise above the mere
standard of living required for his subsistence, and the
continued supply of his kind, was Lassalle’s cheerless
theory. Against this, and also against Karl Marx’s dog
mas and the Manchester School of individual labor con
tracts, Brentano wielded a powerful pen. He held that
labor was not an article that need be subject to the laws
governing marketable commodities, but could be reg
ulated in its pecuniary value by collective contract.
This fact, Which has since become self-evident, was
in those days in the nature of a “discovery.” Lujo Bren
tano might, indeed, be called the creator of the theory
of modem trade unionism. In all his numerous writ
ings—which include approximately 20 volumes—he cham
pioned the rights of the worker against state and pri
vate capitalistic exploitation—not as a revolutionary, but
as a liberal humanitarian, who rejected the conception
of the state as an institute for forced labor, and saw the
consummation of the liberty of the subject not in the
isolation of the individual, but in the cooperation of or
ganic groups.
In Germany he was the earliest propagator of the
argument that high wages and short hours do not nec
essaiily mean excessively priced products. As for work
ers insurance, he held' that this should be borne *by the
workers themselves as part of their earnings and not be
shouldered by the state.
Speaking at the International Congress for Social
Politics at Prague in 1929, he affirmed his adherence to
trade unionism and the eight-hour working day. Al
though he disagreed with Germany’s ratification of the
Washington Agreement, he nevertheless offered stern
opposition to the efforts of those industrialists who ad
vocated the internationalizatin of a 10 or 12 hour day
in the plea that “Germans must work harder.”
PUTTING ALASKA ON THE MAP
Alaskans are thankful to the many who are exerting
every means in giving the Territory the publicity it de
serves. Of these various individuals and agencies the
name of Father Bernard Hubbard, “the Glacier Priest,”
is pre-eminent.
In a recent edition of the Seattle Sunday Times there
appear two excellent photographs of the noted explorer
and geologist of Santa Clara University in the Aniak
chak volcano. Also, in a recent number of the Saturday
Evening Post, appeared a lengthy and exceptionally well
illustrated article on his 1930 explorations on the Alaska
Peninsula.
Pictures of Alaska, such as these, accompanied by
intelligent descriptive stories, are bound to awaken an
interest in the Northland and that interest, perhaps at
some distant date, may be an incentive to journey to
Alaska.
There is certainly one thing which has reflected
to Alaska’s credit from the recent Lindberghs’ flight
publicity throughout the wide wrorld. Papers are being
received in every mail by The Gateway from former
visitors to Alaska and from subscribers in the States, all
of which play up the Lindys’ hop and brief Alaska stay.
For which we give thanks.

SEITTLE ASSAY OFFICE
i HANDLED 200 MILLIONS
OF ALASKA'S COED
j __
Seattle’s government assay office,
one of the seven maintained in the
United States, some time this
month will move from its first and
only home on Ninth Avenue to the
new immigration building in Seat
| tie Boulevard and Sixth Avenue
l South.
Established July 15, 1898, the as
say office has been in the build
ing which was erected for it by
Thomas Prosch, Seattle pionner, on
;the lot adjacent to his home.
Since its establishment there has
| been a total of $344,000,000 in gold
passed through the office. Of this
amount Alaska has furnished, in
; round numbers, $200,000,000, Yukon
Territory $94,000,000, British Colum
bia $25,000,000 and the rest came
j from Washington, Oregon and Ida
j ho.
This huge mass of raw gold, T.
G. Hathaway, assayer in charge,
declares virtually all virgin produc
tion, weighs in round numbers 663
tons and would load a freight train
of thirty-three cars, 40,000 pounds
I to the car, with eight tons left over,
i When the office moves to the
Inew plant at the top of the im
migration station there will be $1,
i 000,000 of raw gold to be handled,
I estimating from the amount which
is usually kept on hand or in tran
sit through the department, al
though actual figures are not avail
able and the departmental heads
are prohibited from making it
known.
Ted Meyers, popular Seattle
youth who has been making Al
aska his home for the last two
years, the present season in the
Moose Pass country, is expected
to arrive in Seward Friday enroute
to the States on - the SS Alaska.
Ted will enroll in the U. of W.
WESTWARD CHROME III
BUILD SHELTER CABINS
Work preparatory to the arrival j
of surveying and construction
crews for the Red Mountain road ■
in the Seldovia vicinity, has been
going steadily on. The net results
to date are the completion of
housing cabins on the mountain
and also at Tutka Bay, together
with sheltered areas for supplies,
says the Seldovia Herald.
Definite announcement concern
ing road route to be adopted can
not be made until road authorities
are on the ground, with surveys
out of the way. Tutka Bay route
is shorter and presents fewer en
gineering problems to overcome,
believes W. P. Lass, joint owner
of the Red Mountain and Port
Chatham chrome iron properties.
Mr. Lass is looking forward to
a chrome iron mining era for Sel
dovia region; though nothing like
an exact statement dealing with
operating data has been given
out. Improved market conditions
are looked for with first signs of
industrial adjustment.
In the meantime road construc
tion will go forward, and other
preliminary work will be under- 1
taken, all tending to the point of
readiness when the right break
comes.
