Cutting Affray at Craig
“A cutting affray at Craig,
resulting in the serious injury
to one man and the arrest of

cipals were not disclosed in

■“Three Chinese Reported Dead
From U prising

Inlet, Dali Island, in which
three Chinese cannery workers
have been killed, was reported

Shoup from Ketchikan by U.
S. Commissioner J. W. Kehoe.
Details of the affray were
not received either here or at

leaving on a mail boat at once
with Asst. U. S Attorney J.
H. Hart and Deputy Marshals

Filipino Held For Triple Killing

under arrest at Rose Inlet,
charged with killing George
Ming, Chinese bookkeeper, and
two other Chinese, according
to advices received today by
U. S. Attorney A. G. Shoup.”
—Juneau Empire of Aug. 13th
U. S. Marshals Called to Loring
The Annual Fight
When the deputy marshals
arrived in Loring during August
to suppress the rioting among
the Filipino help, caused by
liquor and narcotics, the fore
man greeted the ofhciers by
paying, “I thought we would
get by this year without riot
or the annual fight. But this
is all spoiled.”
We are obliged to print this
incident because the Ketchikan
Chronicle, which pretends to
“print all the news all the
time,” has suppressed this story.
There is no sense in trying
to hide the facts that most of
the lawlessness, outside of the
protected vice district that
exists within 200 feet of the
Presbyterian Church of Ket
chikan, begins with the lawless
and criminal element which the
large canneries annually bring
into Alaska.
We quote trom the Valdez
Grand Jury Report on which
a member of the family of the
saintly Charles H. Wilcox of
Valdez served in 1923 and al
lege that the causes (cheap
labor procured from the slums
of San Francisco and other
towns) and the conditions
which naturally follow still
exist; “In the fishing districts
in the western part of the
Third Division, and especially
Bristol Bay, we find conditions
appalling and on account of
the character of labor employ
ed and the conditions existing
at many of the canneries, the

Government is put to the ex
pense of many thousands of
dollars, which in our judgment
should be avoided.”
