GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.
Each boat arriving In Valdez from
Seattle for several weeks past has
brought a platoon of gentlemen bear
ing each a handful of chattels and all
conversing in the Greek tongue, or
some Slavic dialect. They were
shipped by the Tanana mine owners
and it has been a wierd spectacle to
note these uncouth foreigners start
over a trail 360 miles long carrying
their personal estates on their backs
or dragging them on handsleds.
After entertaining the wooden
horse the Trojans discovered 3000
years ago that it is good policy to
beware of Greeks bearing gifts. The
Tanana mine owners may wish be
fore long that they had never thought
of accepting the gift of cheap labor
from Greeks and Slavs who cannot
speak English.
The provocation has been great
The union miners of the Tanana have
raised all kinds of hell with the pro
duction of the camp but the importa
tion of cheap foreign labor is not the
Remedy. The Pennsylvania coal
operators tried that plan and when
the big strike came it was unlettered
foreigners who committed arson and
murder. It was chiefly foreigners
who did the killing and dynamiting
in the Coeur d'Alenes.
The Tanana mine owners would
accomplish more for themselves and
the camp in the • long run if they
would simply shut down when labor
agitators get too busy until a limited
diet might compel the real working
miners to present blue tickets to the
agitators who never work. Then the
owners and the workers could get
together easily.
