ARE BOTH AMERICANS? The House Judiciary Committee recently brought to light orie of the most un-American activities that the record of labor leaders in this country has been bllickened with. In recommending the enactment of legislation which would send to prison labor léaders responsible for interference with inter-state commerce, the Committee disclosed that labor offi- cials have been stopping trucks at state boundaries because the drivers didn't belong to the union. In ordinary times, such a practice seems to us an obnoxious thing, an infringement upon the mht of the individual to earn his living. But in| war times, when these trucks are undoubtedly load- &8 with'material vital to the war effort, such action | i§ nothing more than plain sabotage. ' Yet the men—the labor leaders who order these actions—spenk of being good Americans. Certainly they are not, and thank the Lord there are still enough humble folk in the land who know what this war is all about and know how to act accordingly. American labor still has not gotten down to the business of giving their all-out effort for the war. Coal miners still strike. Workers entering Alaska, certainly not all’ of them, but too many of iem, come up not for the purpose of rushing the enses of the Territory. Rather, they come up t# earn money. The rapid turnover, the southbound boats packed with workers who have gotten their fill of work in a few short months, is evidence of this down your for fixing prices ernment, ‘(Continued from Page One) and Lomb for | throat every time you of Joe Borkin's {indicted General Electric or Stanc- ‘ard Oil or the Aluminum Company |erican reads it, for it tells what I know the Navy tried to block again. you when you prosecuted Bauschi exchanging secrets |let our {with Germany before the war, I| Compare these “Americans” with one such as ‘Mn Mary Taylor of Chester Heights, Péfinsylvania. |The devotion of humble folk for the land they love seldom expresses itself in spectacular headlines. But that is the spirit that made this nation, the spirit that |will save it-—and it does still exist. Mrs. Taylor sent in a $2,000 government,. She lives in a small home near Chester Heights, walks four miles daily to and from her job in a weaving mill. She could have used that money, could have used it in many ways to ease her hardships. But she didn't. Her husband, a merchant seaman, was killed when his tanker was torpedoed. The government ;senb her a check for $5,150 provxded by War Risk | | Insurance. First she paid her debts, then her taxes. Then |she purchased one War Bond for $750. She sent the remaining $2,000 to the government with a note asking it to keep the money for her until the war is over—“For I know the government of our country {needs every possible help it can get.” The government returned the check. That isn't |important. The fact that she offered it was what |made Mrs. Taylor a real American. She used the |returned money, plus $250 she had set aside, to buy |three more $750 War Bonds. check to her Post-War Justice (New York Times) Plans for an international court to try Axis war criminals are taking shape, according to a London dispatch. A well-known American criminologist. Professor Sheldoti Glueck of Harvard, is mentioned 1as one of those who have worked on the project, as is Marcel Dedaer, Chief Justice of Belgian courts in Britain and chairman of the War Crimes Com- | mission of the London International Assembly. There will be no difficulty in finding candidates for the {prlsoners dock. Many nominations have already been made. 3 | The proposed court has not received official sanction in London or Washington, but presumably it will do so. Its personnel and rules of procedure will be important. If it is properly constituted its | very existence may be a useful weapon as the war |draws toward a close. We can say to the enemy 'penples that we contemplate no indiscriminate re- | venge, but that we propose to deal with individuals jwho can be convicted of violations of the laws of war. Such laws exist, though they can be enforced only against a defeated enemy. We can and should | punish willful murderers, whether they are at the' top of a Government or at the bottom. We must allow for mitigating circumstances, asi when a soldier acts under orders which it is death to disobey. We must make it clear that the vast majority will not be made to suffer for the crimes of the few. By sorting out those who are certainly or probably guilty we can create a division of inter- | est among our enemies. Even the Germans may lose their zest for battle if they come to realize that they are carrying on a hopeless struggle to save the hides of a comparatively small number of Nazi hoodlums.

She had visited in Portland, Seattle, Vancouver and San Francisco since before Christmas. Mrs. A® Turner suffered a fractured arm, near the wrist, when she fell on the sidewalk on Seward Street. She was resting easily but con- fined to her home. Judge T. M. Reed adjourned sine die the current term of the U. S. District Court and was to leave for the States, stopping at Ketchikan on his way to Seattle. “The at the Coming attractions at the theatres were Mary Pickford in Hoodlum” at the Coliseum and Gladys Walton in “High Heels” Palace.

Hamilton, furrier, left on the Admiral Watson for her head- Capt. D. B. Patterson, master of the boat Grizzly, wrecked a short time previously between Kodiak and Cold Bay, was aboard the Watson on his way to the States. An entertaining evening was enjoyed by th& guests at the Moose- |heart party, given the previous night at Moose Hall by the Ladies of Mooseheart Legion. Cards were played from 8 to 11 o'clock when supper was served followed by a social time. Prizes were won by Mrs. Jack Rowe, H. M. Peterson, Mrs. J. Saloum and Charles Gaby.
