It is virtually a foregone conclusion that at least one candidate for Mayor and probably some of the Councilmanic ticket will go after the votes with a cry for municipal ownership owned company, “like Ketchikan It is a natural campaign issue regardless of its mierits and, it so happens, that the leading propon- ents as well as the opponents which have shown o far pride themselves on their Republican party af- filiation, which would indicate that the pow in Juneau is going to be a Republican cat and dog fight which will ring down through this campaign year into the contests for seats in the Legislature. i ke N er issue On ne Repu!lice vention called by historic Douglas convention and went on to Clevelana and victory before the national committee.

Of course, they want the support of both, but how to get it? Such is the lot of ambitious tempting to balance on the G.O.P. teeter.

That should give plenty of time for everybody to get in, The Labor Spy New York Times) In its report on labor espionage, the civil liberties ubcommittee of the Senate Education and Labor | Committee, consisting of Messrs. Thomas and La Follette, has performed an essential service. To recognize this it is not necessary to accept all the charges and generalizations in that document. There is reason to doubt, in fact, that the subcommittee’s known list of 3,871 industrial spies” consists entirely of spies properly so Already evidence has been offered that it s many ordinary guards, watchmen and others tection of property.

It spreads terror and suspicion among workers. As the subcommitfee points out, it must be furtive if it is to exist at all. It cannot be publicly defended. ctions of the report is recoiled upon em- ¢ revelations. “The 1e collective bar- m to surrender to One of the most revealing that showing how the system ha ployers, even before the LaFo employer finds that his fear of g gaining with his employees cause a group of unknown adventurers an increasing con- trol over his relations with his employees. Thus, the security of his employees is placed in the hands of men who stand to profit by a maximum of labor trouble and strife.” These spies sometime work upon the employer's fears by bringing in deliberately colored and inflammatory reports; they act as agents provoca- teurs. The sub-committee even cites cases in which corporations hired spies to spy upon their own spies, who they feared were betraying confidential trade secrets. This was, after all, a not illogical result, as the very trade of a spy is deceit. The spy system is as anachronistic as it is vicious. Let us hope that we are entering a period when it will be completely abandoned The thoroughness of the subcommittee’s work on this' one point, however, makes it all the more de- plorable that its report is entirely one-sided. For that reason it does not deal with the one defense that could plausibly be offered for the industrial spy—that as long as there is industrial warfare, espionage, as in other methods of warfare, will form an inevitable part of it. The function of government here is twofold: to do everything possible to bring about industrial peace, and to act as an umpire to see that the rules of fair play and fair dealing are observed by both sides The subcommittee, unfortunately, does not even at- tempt to fylfill this function. Its present report deals solely with sins on the employer's side. Its mounced program and its whole record indicate that the three reports to follow—on industrial “muni- tioning,” strike-breaking and coercion—will also be confined to that aim. Nothing has been said of the (rike aimed primarily against the public, of the sit- down strike, of the coercion and intimidation of workers by union organizers, of mass picketing, of What would be only the fouls thugs and racketeers in the unions, thought of a referee who penalized committed by one of the contestants and deliberately | shut his eyes to those committed by the other?
