The Governor of Alaska is now in Washin he is doing everything he can to get action. The Seattle ne effect of the strike The City Council, acting Juneau Mercha ociation do 1 m, it is doubt- on where spapers have been giving the on Alaska a great deal of pub- licity. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer currently has a special reporter covering the Territory to give the readers of that Se e newspaper a first hand report of just what the strike is doing to Alaska—and Seattle- Alaska trade It seems Alaskans take —neither the labor involved are going to sacrifice end the strike The fact that Alaskan running dangerously short of food, and the residents of others must pe r express rates for food items, is only ‘part of the story. The constriction industry, and others coming grinding halts all over Alaska because materials needed rest on the Seattle docks. Thousands of men aie being thrown out of their jobs all over the Territory as such projects close down. Alaska will have one of its biggest unemploy- ment problems in years this winter. There is too good a chance that many new building projects in Alaska, now partially completed and closed down, will never be completed because of lack of funds.

Let us hope that it, that harmful to That and such is carried out Enemies of Production (Cineinnati Enquirer) Robert R. Young, the energetic and unorthodox head of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, has written | for the Atlantic Monthly a provocative critique of our | current economic dilemma. Looking on the American | scene as it is today, he finds labor and capital point- lessly fighting each other, while the bureauracy of the state, seeking to solve all problems by rezulation, | gobbles up the fruits of our common productivity Business, Mr. Young believes, blundered in re- | sisting unionism until it got the Wagner Act. It bundered in failing to establish guaranteed annual wages—as a very few employers to be sure have done It is blundering now in failing to work with labor o | provide medical and ho: 1 care and old-age secur- ity, which forces workers to turn to the state and to try to get those things the expensive and wasteful Turning to labor, Mr. Young is chiefly troubled by shop rules which limit productivity—arbitrary limits on the amount of work permitted in a day, seniority rules which protect the decrepit and subsidize the incompetent, and jurisdictional quarrels which not valid strikes but stop preduction just as completely. Labor and management alike have turned too | cuickly to government for solutions of their troubles. And usually, Mr. Young contends, the only result is to | create new barriers to production, and new tax|! burdens which come out of the plain ¢ s standard of living It is likely that Mr. Young ignores some factor: which are inevitably compelling the people to intrust new powers to the state. When businesses become monopolis state is likely to be found the only instrumer that peovle can use in remedying monopolistic abuses. and with the emergence of great labor union as monopolles with legal immunity | from any responsibility, the only workable protection | of the public must come from the state. and labor leaders saw the we could to not If enough businessmen long-run folly of abusing monopoly power, perils without calling on government supply the answers. But enough such men do exercise the requisite seif-restraint.

What the country is headed for, it seems, is a “shake-out.” Here is linguistic legerdemain of the highest order. “Bust,” of course, has a horrid sound, sharp and “Repr " still carr all the nasty overtones of 1929. “Rec lon” was never very popular, in spite of its sibilance and its hinted reminder of Kipling.
