PREFERENTIAL EMPLOYMENT FOR ALASKANS
Everyone is committed to the principle of preferential employment
' for Alaskans. This sentiment has been voiced often by the largest em
ployers of labor—the fisheries.
The time has arrived for a concerted movement making this a
reality. But it requires a little work on the part of the residents of the
Territory. ,
The suggestion is offered that each community having those de- ;
sirous of work make a survey and secure a listing of these employees,
together with information as to the nature of the work, the time one
is prepared to devote to it. whether for full season or part-time; if they
are willing to leave their home and travel to canneries or fishing
grounds, and, in fact, a complete summary of what may be offered em
ployers in the form of labor. '
Chambers of Commerce, or a few progressive leaders of each com
munity could well afford to make a call for this survey, and get the
labor sheet into the hands of the cannerymen in advance of the opening :
of the fishing season.
It must be remembered that in the absence of such a list, it is im
possible for cannerymen to know if labor is available and where.
In view of the fact that the canneries paid approximately $300,000 j
in advanced taxes when appealed to by the Auditor in his efforts to j
maintain a treasure balance, it is reasonable to believe that they would !
respond willingly to an appeal to employ only Alaskan help.
GENTLEMEN RACKETEERS
Ivar Kreuger is alleged to have forged $30,000,000 worth of Italian
bonds; the house of Morgan unloaded $2,000,000,000 of worthless foreign
bonds onto the American people; Wall street gentlemen gamblers have
prevented recovery of securities cwned by millions of American citizens.
What with the racketeers on one hand and the cream de la cream
of financial society committing grand larceny, Woodrow Wilson’s ob
servation of: “When predatory factions are warring, good men are be
ing done to death between the two,” does not appear far-fetched.
“Go north and be happy” is the slogan Mrs. Edward M. Biddle
launched when she reached Vancouver, B. C., on her return to Phila
delphia after spending a winter in Alaska. “Women who go back in
the country and live the lives of their husbands on the trap lines or in
the mining camps, find contentment,” she added. Now what would be
a real thrill is to see a talcumed society lounge lizard trying to take
the jacket off a skunk and maintain his san froid.
LUXURY OF GOVERNMENT
Now a group of feminine lawyers is importuning an “Adolescent”
court in New York to care for juvenile delinquents instead of having
them tried by the regularly established tribunals.
Possibly if there were fewer such lawyers and more old-fashioned
women in New York who considered their chief duty to the nation to
be that of giving it a child instructed in the tenets of society, stressed
as to moral character and taught to obey parental direction until able to
use their own wings, there would not be a call for the State to assume
this responsibility. And herein lies one of the answers to the high cost
of government.
As a relief from the kidnapping scourge, why not put a bounty on
jazz orchestras and radio announcers and combine business with
pleasure?
It now develops that what was cabled from New Zealand as a
series of riots was nothing more than a rush of women trying to get into
a bargain sale.

Heinie Berger, master of the MS
Discoverer, which arrived in poit
this morning, told about the events
leading up to the time when he was
informed that he had been one of
the winners in the 1932 Nenuna ice
del by. He said he was enroute to
Seldovia from Anchorage when the
ice broke and the winners were an
nounced and he had no inkling as
to his good fortune.
•However, on his arrival at Sel
dovia, late Sunday evening, he saw
a large crowd of Seldovians as
sembled on the wharf. Never be
fore had such a crowd turned out
to greet the Discoverer at such a
late hour. Berger played the Dis
coverer’s searchlight on the dock
and over the crowd in an effort to
find out what was up but he was
unable to learn anything. The peo
ple on the dock appeared to be
cheering him. but he did not know
yet what it was all about.
When he was almost tied up to
the dock one of the Seldovians
jumped aboard the craft and began
telling Captain Berger how lucky
he was. When Eerger asked him
why he was lucky, the Seldovian i
informed him that he had been a
winner c*f this year’s ice derby.
Thinking the Seldovian was only
kidding him, Captain Berger asked
him when the “ice went out.” The
Seldovian replied May 1 at 10:15
a. m. Berger said that he had a
ticket on that date and that time.
“Anyway,” said Captain Berger,
“the sum will be enough to pay
my bills and buy Mrs. Berger a
good washing machine.”
The S3 Alaska, enroute to Sew- ;
ard, was reported north of Ketchi

today saying that the SS Admiral
Rogers left Seattle today at 10 a.
m., carrying 67 passengers and six
steerage. Two passengers are for

Pacific Steamship Company was
unable to explain the message, say
ing that as far as they know the
SS Admiral Rogers is not sched
uled to sail for Seward.
The local Rebekah Lodge held a
regular meeting last night at which
a vice grand of the lodge was to be
elected.
