The Western Federation
The various trials against members
of the Western Federation of Miners
for participation in dynamitings and
mnrders have come to an end without
securing a single conviction; and yet
the Western Federation itself has been
folly convicted in the minds of the
people. This was fully brought out by
the manner in which the news of the
recent aoquittal of Steve Adams, and
of tho death of Geo. Pettibone was re
ceived. Both of these men had, accord
ing to the decision of the juries, suffer- !
ed great hardships, having been con
fined for a very long period in jail
without being convicted of any crime;
and yet the public i^wasting no sym
pathy over either case. The public
feels that these men were mixed up in
a bad business, and while it does not
question the justice of the courts In
deciding that no convicting evidence i
was presented against these men, still
it considers the men themselves, and
all their associates, as social outcasts ?
men who have forfeited ail respect.
The strength of this feeling has been
felt by all those interested in the
Western Federation of Miners. Their
recent meeting in Denver was a very
stormy session and it is evident that
"the house is divided agaiust itself."
One party, and that stronger, is for
cleansing the Union forever of Hay
wood and Haywoodism; another is for
clinging to the old methods and am
bitions; between the two is Moyer, who
seeks now to hide his well-worn bloody 1
shirt of anarchy under the mantle of
conservatism. How the struggle will
end we do not venture to prophesy,
but we feel assured that the Western :
Federation of Miners, as a power for I
evil, has had its wings cloaely clipped. ;
It Is to be hoped that the Federation
will rise from its disgrace and become
a power for good in the land. - A con
dition of non-unionism has probably !
passed forever from our miniug dis
tricts, and so the best thing for all
concerned is that there should be a
good union which will zealously safe- j
guard the interests of the miners, with
out attempting to usurp the preroga
tives of the mine owuers. If the West- 1
ern Federation has the mobility aud
the honest strength to shake off its old
habits and seize this new opportunity,
it will always be a power and a benefit;
if not, some other union will undoubt
edly supplant it in the Western mining
districts.? Mining Seiouce.
Someone seems to have a grudge
against the water supply of the town
of Douglas. Some time ago the car
cass of a dog was found in one of the
pipe lines, it having been washed down
from the main tank, and no longer ago
than last Monday the screen that pro
tects the mouth of the Lawson creek
flume was staffed full of sticks and
rubbish. If these thlugs are done by a
man, he should and probably will get
a rough handling if he is ever found
"out. However, it may only be the
work of boys. If so it is time for the
parents to get busy, and teach their
children that they should let the water
works and all parts of It strictly alone.
The health of the town and each and
every person in the town depends on
the supply of fresh, pure water. Tell
the ohildren to keep their dirty little
fingers out of it A careful watoh will
be kept from this on and the first per
son caught meddling with the water
?apply in any way will be given a taste
of the punishment which the law pre
scribes for each acts. Let this be a
warning.

Death of Mrs. Johnson
Didd. ? At Jnneou, Alaska, Friday,
September 4, 1908, Laura, beloved wife
of J. Alfred Johnson, a native of
Kristiansund, Norway, aged 36 years,
7 months and 8 days. Funeral ser
vices were held in tlie Presbyterian
church, at Juneau, on Sunday, Sept
tember 6th, at 2 o'olock p. m., Rev. F.
L. Jones officiating. The interment
whs at Evergreen cemetery.
The deceased has been a resident of
Douglas for a number of years, most
of whioh time she has been a sufferer
from that most insidious of diseases,
consumption. Day by day she grew
weaker and less able to withstand its j
inroady, and when death came it :
brought the only relief the sufferer
had enjoyed for many weary months.
As a wife and mother she 'was patient
and loving, as a woman and citizen she j
won a warm wlaco in the hearts of all
who knew her. Besides the husband,
two little sons, one but a babe of a few I
weeks, are left to mourn, as they will
as the years go by aud they learn what
it means to have lost a mother. The
funeral services were attended by a j
large number of friends and neighbors i 1
from Douglas Island.
