With every issue of the Mirror
the inquiring reporter again comes
up against that ever-present night
mare of newspapermen "'What’s new?
Whose party? -When, why and wherefc*4!
so I am sending forth a call into j
the highways, byways and the town j
of Kodiak, a humble and pleading
request for an enterprising and j
journalistic-inclined young lady^ \
whlo will volunteer her goal servic
es in tho humane cause of a better
"personal" Mirror and tho general
enlightening of tho citizens of
Kodiak and this vicinity, in the
pleasures, pastimes and parties of
her neighbors. This time it is not
"My kingdom for a horse"but a lady
reporter"'. I’ll personally guaran
tee your punishment will not exceed
being burnt at the stake publicly’.
In tho present absence of such a
brave woman, well....here I go ....
It has been rain ing a little
this past week, sort of misty-like,
bitt then havo’nt wo all rubber
boots and I soo lots of skiffs tied
up to docks around here...
The most important happening
in Kodiak seems to mo, to be the
strike v/hich has boon called by
the local fishermen, caused by tho
inability of the two negotiating
partic3 of tho fishermen and tho
ednnory operators. Big companies
vorsu.3 a group of snail-income ind
ividuals arbitrating over a unit
sum of money, small to one - largo
to the other. Speaking rather
candidly, it seems to mo that the
people who will suffer tho moc t in .
the long run, will not bo tho ones
who aro involved in the strike but
the merchants of Kodiak. The health
wealth and happiness of this small
community is at stake-oven families
in and around here will suffer
privation and the lack of the t
C3ontials of life and tho children, ’■
who never aro responsible for tho
actions of their elders, will feel
the pinch more than anyone else.
Why can’t it be possible for
the gentlemen who are arbitrating
this question, to appoint a group |
who MUST make a decision for thorn. ,
Let an odd-numbered group of tried s
and proven businessmen be elected
by the negotiators, who will abide
by tho decision of the third group.
Way can’t wo get together on these j
controversial questions and settle ;
it immediately for the goad of the
whole community and the outside
firms represented hero, befa* c it
is too late and everyone Is tho
loser. Why nct^ may I ask?
