E. A. Washington Bureau, 112 11234 Munsey Bldg.) Washington, Sept. 26.—-Congress has just been asked for $17,000,000 to com- plete the government-built, govern- owned, government-operated railroad in Alaska. If the amount is allowed, within two and a half years this moedrn rail- road will be runniing from Seward, . on the Pacific coast, to Fairbanks, in the heart of the gold mining district, through the richest agricultural and mining country ‘in North America, The road is now about two-thirds completed, and trains are running trom Seward to Talkeetna, a distance of about 230 mil This is the south- ern end of the line, .On the northern end the line is completed and run- ning from Fairbanks south to the Ne- nana 1 fields.

Memories of the Klondike days when gold was discovered in the frozen wastes of Alaska have given most people the idea that gold is the chief product of the territory—gold and snow and ice. That isn’t at all true. Despite the fact that the gold fields of Alaska are still giving forth their millions, agriculture is the principal occupation of the territory, and its farms are far richer than its gold mines. * - The Matanuska valley alone, accord- ing to the Alaska engineering commis- CZEMA _ ‘To reduce the itche ing, use soothing applications of— 7 rsd YOUR BODYGUARD" +30F, 604, 31.20 HEDDEN AGENCY Building site 80j?%5 or otfler ch S yo jl laces Mand@n Ave, gf house, fruit) tees, south front. $1500 ith house; without house, $1000.

The search for the burial places of the heroes of the air is being conducted by an army officer and a representative of the American Red Cross and thousands of kilometers have been covered in France and Germany.

The Legion,” the colonel asserted, “stands for. democratization, service and Americanization as a national or- ganization.” The colonel left for Eastern points late last night. ee New Masks for Firemen. Bismarck’s fire fighters will be equipped with the same kind of masks to overcome dense smoke as American fighters used in France to meet the German gas attacks. Three of these masks were received last week and two of the members of the department have the masks they used when in the army, makirig sufficient number to fight, any fire where the smoke is too dense for ordinary breathing. The fire department*tried out these masks some time ago in a smoke house. The place was filled* with smoke so thick that it was impossible to see any- thing. Chief Robert. Jager, equipped with one of these masks, went -into the smoke house and remained there for over five minutes without the slightest difficulty.

Rockefeller, Jr., Cannot Believe That Capital and La- bor Are Necessarily Enemies —Believes Success of One Does Not Depend Upon Failure of Other. (By JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, Jr.) America’s Most Powerful Capitalist New York, Sept. ‘27. The popular impression that from the very nature of the case Labor and Capital are two great contending forces arrayed against each other, each striving to gain the upper hand through force, each feeling that it must arm itself in order to secure from the other its rights and its just dues, ig even more unfortunate than it is untrue, ital aré necessarily enemies. |I can- not believe that the success of one miust depend upon the failure or lack of success of the other. Far from being enemies, these two factors must necessarily be partners. Only when the industrial problem is approached from the point of view ofa firm belief in this doctrine is there ahy hope of bringing about clos- er, more healthful and mutually ad- vantageous relations between these two forces. Capital and Labor Haye Common In- ~ terests. The interests of labor and capital | are common interests; neither can get. on without the other. In the early days of industry, the’ functions of capital and management were not infrequently combined in the one individual, who was the em- ployer. He in turn was in constant touch with his employes. Personal! relations were frequent and mutual confidence existed. When differences arose they were quickly adjusted. The question which now confronts the student of industrial problems is how to re-establish personal relations and co-operation in spite of changed conditions. The answer is not doubt- ful or questionable, but absolutely clear and unmistakable: It is, thru adequate representation of the par- ties in the councils of industry. Various methods of representation in industry have been déveloped, con- spicuous among which are labor’ un- ions and employers’ associations. La- bor unions have secured for labor many advantages in hours, wages and standards of working conditions. A large proportion of the workers of the country, however, are outside these organizations, and unless somehow bargain collectively. Representation on the employers’ side has been developed through the establishment of trade associations. But ,here also représentation is in- adequate. Many employers do not be- long to employers’ associations. Representative Plan Developed in America, 2 In England there’ have been made three’ important government investi- gations and reports looking toward a more complete program of represen- tation atid co-operation on the part. of labor and capital. A method of representation similar to that suggest- ed in one of them—the Whitley report —though less comprehensives and which is constructed from the bottom up, has been in operation for vary- ing periods of time in a number of industries in this country, including the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the Colqrado Fuel & Iron Com- pany, the Consolidation Coal Company and others. It begins with the elec- tion of representatives in a single plant, and is capable of indefinite de- velopment to meet the complex needs of any industry and of wide extension so as to include all industries. Equal- ly applicable in industries where un- ion or non-union labor or both are employed, it seeks to provide full and fair representation of labor, capital and management, taking cognizance of the community also. While doubtless defects will appear in the plan, and, other methods more successfully accomplishing the’ same end may be developed, at least it is proving in operation. that’ in’ unity. there is strength, and that a spirit of co-operation and brotherhood in in- dustry is not onty’ idealistically right, but that it also works. IT am’ profoundly convinced | that nothing will go so far toward estab- lishing brotherhood in industry and insuring industrial peace, as the gen- eral and early adoption by industry of this principle’ of representation, the favorable consideration of’ which cannot be-too strongly urged upon leaders: in industry. ‘ Cupid Busy. 7 Dan.
