NOME LABOR SITUATION
According to information obtained from other cities in
Alaska, there are hundreds of laborers and others coming in
to Alaska on each week’s boat—some bound tor interior
points in search of work, and others who remain in the coast
al towns also expecting to land jobs.
A state of congestion is even now being experienced in
Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward, to such an extent there
is not a hotel room in each city obtainable, without doublin'
up. That is a situation which Nome cannot afford.
If. according to the reports brought in from the states,
there is a large influx of laborers to Nome in the spring,
on the first boats, where are they going to live? There is
only one hotel in Nome at present and that is filled. Possib
ly it may be arranged to accomodate a normal number of
returning passengers in the spring, but certainly not the
huge number which is reported intending to come to Nome
the majority with the expectation of getting carpenter work
and assisting in rebuilding.
It is unknown what the census of labor is in Nome at
present but there is every indication that there is sufficient
labor to care for most of the rebuilding which is expected to
be carried on. However, it would not be amiss, as was sug
gested recently, to take a census of the labor and determine
just where labor stands.
To get to the crux of the matter, it is the duty of civic
organizations to take care of their own conditions of labor,
industry and consumption. Some action should be taken,
and in the very near future, to advise the public that Nome
will be in no position to care for an overflow of labor here
this summer. It is not only fair to the people expecting to
come here with that in mind, but it is also protecting Nome s
labor and housing conditions, and not throwing a burden
of unemployment on a city when it is fighting to rebuild.
IF WE DIVIDE NOME’S WEALTH
If all the wealth in Nome were hoarded in a barrel,
with the understanding that it would be distributed among
the citizens it would be to the profit of every citizen, rich
and poor alike, to make the barrel as rich as possible.
Knowing that the content would be distributed among
the citizens here, and that they alone would share in the
prize, each man, woman and child would strive to pack the
barrel as tight as possible. There would be no careless dis
patch of money to other cities, where other people would

be happy in the distribution of the wealth, foolishly contrib
uted bv the people of Nome.
The wealth is expressed in money and every citizen has
some of it. The barrel into which it can be placed is the com
merce of Nome. Every time a citizen buys from a local mer
chant he puts some of his wealth into the business-barrel of
Nome. This business-barrel is in turn distributed to our
citizens in wages, rents, and other transactions. The larger
the barrel and the tighter it is packed the larger will be the
share of each citizen.
The distribution of the wealth of Nome, however, does
not happen all at once. It is in process throughout the
year. Every day as citizens trade in Nome, they add to the
sum in the business barrel, and other eitizegg taking it out,
pass it around. The only hitch in this endless chain comes
when some thoughtless man oi’ woman after receiving some
of Nome’s wealth sends it through the mails to another city,
where it gets into another barrel and is distributed among
other people..
