‘RY A “WANT” AD. IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—(Spe
cial)—Advocacy of a better ‘‘social
understanding” by President Wilson
and a warning by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, against government regula
tion of the normal activities and per
sonal relationships of the people, oc
cupied today’s session of the conven
tion on social insurance here under
the auspices of the National Associa
tion of Industrial Accident Boards
and Commissions.
President Wilson, welcoming the
delegates to Washington, declared
that the nation is turning its attention
“more and more to those things which
affect the daily life and fortunes of
the rank and file,” and is getting into
closer touch with the daily lives of
the men and women in it.
Referring directly to the recently
threatened nation-wide railroad strike
Mr. Gompers said that its discussion
in congress had led to an effort to
enforce “conscription” on the work
ers.
Jealous of Liberties.
Giving governmental control over
industrial relations gives great power
to an unknown force,” continued Mr.
Gompers. “I beg to advise you to
have a care in attempting to regulate
the personal relationships and normal
activities of the people. No matter
how sympathetic or humanitarian may
be the gloss over the plan, I beg you
to beware. We do not know what the
effects will be of the war in Europe,
but the people of the United States
should hold their liberties in their own
hands.’ ’
Mr. Gompers opposed compulsory
social insurance and praised the work
of trade unions in promoting the wel
fare of the workers and in encourag
ing voluntary, social insurance.
Secretary Wilson, of the department
of labor discussed the progress of so
cial insurance and declared he be
licv ! the next step would be old-age
pension. .
George Pope, president of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers,
tp'd of the efforts of manufacturing
corporations and organizations to pro
mote the welfare of their employes
and opposed too much governmental
interference.
Drifting from Political Things.
“We are living in an extremely in
teresting time,” said President Wil
son. “We have drifted away from the
purely political questions. We have,
fortunately enough, ceased to make
constitutional questions the center of
discussion and are turning our atten
tion more and more to those things
which affect the daily life and for
tunes of the rank and file of great na
tions. We are studying the people
whom long ago we ought to have serv
ed better than we have served them,
and as we get in closer and closer
touch with the daily lives of men and
women we know how to counsel bet
ter, we know how to govern better,
we know how to conduct our own indi
vidual lives better, with a deeper in
sight and a truer sympathy.
“A conference such as this, to dis
cuss social insurance gives evidence of
the dominant interests of our own
time and one of the best elements of
social insurance is social understand
ing—an interchange of views and a
comprehension of interests which for
a long time was only too rare. It used
to be confined to those who were sup
posed to be restricted to what the gen
eral public regarded as the useless
precincts of the university. Now it
has spread to the ranks of practical
men and has come to be regarded as
a practical study.”

IN THE EIST
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
In the October number of “The
American Shooter,” a magazine de
voted to marksmanship and sport, on
page 38, there appears a picture of R.
D. Morgan, formerly of Fairbanks,
and now of Washington, D. G'., and an
article telling ofhis wonderful shoot at
Atlantic City. Many Fairbanksans
will remember Mr. Morgan, as he was
employed in the News-Miner office
and was prominent in the Tanana Ri
fle club. The part of the article in the
American Shooter, devoted to Mr.
Morgan, was as follows:
“Two men—one a young and sturdy
moulder from the middle west and the
other a former gold miner, past the
young period of life, short and rather
frail—gathered in the biggest harvest
at the Westy Hogans this year.
“The young man was Fred Harlow, t
of Newark, O., the man who seldom
misses a target. He pumped leaden
pellets at 500 registered 16-yard clays
at Atlantic City and hit 491, which
means that he missed nine! Get that?
Such a record was not unusual for the
son of toil from Ohio, however. He
has busted ’em so consistently this
year that it is virtually certain that
he will lead all the amateurs in the
country with an official average ap
proaching 98 per cent. Aside from
winning the* high average for the en
tire shoot, an honor not to be sneezed
at, as we used to say in days gone by,
Harlow won a leg on the Atlantic City
trophy and tucked S50 in gold in his
walet.
“Morgan, be it known, was one of
the men who spent some few years in
Alaska searching for gold, and he is
just about as cold at the traps as is
the climate in that northern land; in
cidentally, he has never seen fit to re
move the whiskers that protected his
face from the ice-laden air. Albeit, he
is one of the best scouts in the game
i and a true sportsman if ever there
was one.
“The principal feat of the Alaskan
—who, by the way, now resides in
Washington, D. C.—was the compila
tion of a long run of 233. This estab
lished a new amateur record for con
secutive shattering of clays at the
Westy Hogans. While he was manu
facturing his longest run Morgan
walked away with the Westy Hogan
trophy, breaking 100 straight, and
then following that with 40 straight
in a shoot-off to beat Fred Plum, At
lantic City’s wizard.”

Old-Timer Strikes It Rich.
Harry Watson Rivers, known to ev
ery N'omeite as a versatile comedian
who participated in about every local
entertainment in the northern gold
camp, and who departed for the out
side two or three years ago, without a
dollar to his name, has struck it rich
in Southern California, having located
valuable tungsten claims. He is now
worth $50,000 in cash money and re
tains his properties. One of the Bren
nen boys, the younger son of John
Nome, since deceased, who s now em
ployed by the Commission at Anchor
age, also has tungsten claims in
Southern California.
