Fishing in the last | showing is not very good on either side. two areas was limited entirely to whites and Indians. Not all of the white fishermen were residents, but | the Indians were. | In shore labor, Southeast Alaska canneries em- | ployed 2,249 whites, 1422 Indians, out of a total| of 6519 such employees, or in excess of 50 per cent. of the whole number. In Central Alaska, | there were 1823 whites and 450 Indians, and in| Western Alaska 1,890 whites and 155 Indians. | The total for all clas: of labor showed 12,030 whites and 4,208 Indians receiving employment in| the industry, with 24,428 of all races. The wage bill for the season was $7,613,698. Judge Wicker- ersham failed to quote these figures to substantiate | his accusation in this instance, also. None but residents of Alaska should be per- mitted to have employment in the canning industry, he argued. That raises the question of labor supply. Suppose such a system were effective, or could by fiat be made so, as of this date. Would it be pos- sible for the.canneries to operate, could they get the fish to pack, or the labor necessary to put up the pack for the current season? The official figures prove the contrary. In 1928, in Southeastern Alaska alone there were 10,265 per- sons regularly employed in the industry. The pre- liminary report of the Federal census, made public a few weeks ago, gives for this district a population of approximately 20,000, men, women and children, of all races. While official figures of population by age and gainful employment are not yet pub- lished, it is reasonable to conclude more than half have employment and there is a large percentage of minor persons who would not be available for labor. It is certain that the local labor market is not sufficiently large to furnish the workers of al' classes necessary for cannery operation. And if this is true for Southeastern Alaska, which is the most populous in the Territory, the situation would be worse in the Third Division. As a matter of fact, Western Alaska plants employed 7173 laborers of all classes in 1928. The population of the district is less than one-half of that number. But concede that no one but residents were The High Reward. (Cincinnati Braquirer.) A poet wrote: “Sweet it is to have done the thing one ought.” Duty is rewarded in the consciousness of him who has done what he ought. Nothing can affect this “sweet” realization. It is one of the superior | compensations of life. It lifts the individual infin-| itely above the sordid and envious aspect of things. It makes him oblivious to invidious and surrepti- tious assumptions whose hollowness may not be| apparent, but which nevertheless are very real. Sometimes it is hard to do the thing one ought, but, having done it, the reward of soul satisfaction cannot be denied to the doer of his duty. | The thing we ought to do makes for spiritual | development, always. We may evade, refuse to do| it, but when we do so we must suffer, as we must suffer when we assume to profit by and enjoy the fruits of another’s duty, public or private. This| is what the master bard meant when he wrote: | “Who steals may purse steals trash, but he who| filches from me my good name’—etc. Elbert Hubbard's paraphrase of the Golden Rule is perhaps more striking in this day than is the seriptural form of that all-inclusive admonition. Our American Philistine puts it: “Do unto others| as though you were the others.” In either form of expression the whole duty of a4 man is incorporate. Acceptance and practice here brings the high reward—the most lasting of earthly compensations. That is why it is “sweet to do what one ought.” Members of the House applauded the killing of @ rum runners by the Coast Guard, so it must have been someone else's bootlegger.—(Ohio State Journal.) . A man found wandering around Washington was unable to state his name, his address or what commissiont he was a member of —(Detroit News.) “Mr. Borah Started Something.” So runs a headline. Yes, he has started many things, but how many has he finished.—(Milwaukee Journal.) permitted cannery employment, and the canners, Oh, radio station, cheer up!
