Nome, Alaska, May 17, 1010.
si:\sim;K policy.
It is reported that the the Nome 1
Chamber of Commerce is now talc
ing up the matter with various min
ing concerns and individuals looking
towards the employment in opera
tions conducted during the summer
of all-the-ycar-round residents of
this Peninsula.
That's a sensible policy for them
and the wonder is that it didn’t oc
cur to them long ago.
However this winter the fact that
so many sour doughs failed during
the past season to get work and in
dividual operations which kept the
camp alive shrunk to such an appre
ciable figure that the necessity for 1
something being done has literally
forced itself upon many of the more
enterprising business men.
We know of course that it for the
reason of doing themselves good that
they would see sour doughs and per
manent residents employed in pre
ference. Those will spend their
money in the camp any way and the
business men will get the most of
It.
It is better however for all con
cerned workers as well as any one
else. The real reason why employers
have shown in some eases, even I.i
many instances, a preference for
rhechaco labor is that the sour dough
know too much and wanted too
much. Ho understood that you can
not live here on Seattle wages m i
be demanded what would he neces
sary for him to exist upon . The cm
ployer liired men in Seattle, especial
ly men ignorant of the actual con
.1.Mons here and hired them for less
than was essential to living in Av ;
asks.
Two classes of men are broke
hero every fall. One class that dons
not. Ret work because ho wants
standard wages, and the other who
got. work at below the Alaska
standard and get laid off after a
short spell to have the place taken
upon a resumption of operations by
other and cheaper men. These men
also are usually the victims of a
conscienceless class of operators who
end up by beating all employees oil’,
of their .wages. The old timers are
too wise to work for such as those
and most of them are l ot even
wanted in any event.
But the business man’s point ol
view is different. He does not want
to eliminate the transient because
he is cheaper necessarily, but be
cause he loaves the country and
takes what he makes along with
him, large or small. He does not
spend it where he makes it, and as
such is very little benefit to the
commercial interests of the camp.
Most of the old timers are cheerfully
buggy on the quetion of making
a fortune. They prospoct perpetually
and sink their money buying sup
ples in holes in the ground, and
their lunacy only increases with
each succeeding disappointment,
laterally they are gamblers; very
profitable gamblers to be sure with
their hump of acquisitiveness
-equalled by their bump of imagina- !
tion to the great benefit of all who \
have things to sell.
Now it is unquestionably true that
-although it has been manifestly to
dhe Interest of all In business in
Klothe to see that the permanent re
sidents got work, the home guards
were carefully side tracked when it
came to jobs. The new comers In
variably got the work, and i* has
coino to this pass that a man to he
sure of his summer’s work up here
ha* to leave in the Fall taking his
financial baggage with him and leav
ing the camp poorer by just that
amount.
Candidly speaking wo can con
sider Nome luring the winter a huge
gambling joint with the creeks and
tundras the lay-out, the bank the
dealers and the business men the
boosters. The dealers got their rp.Ve
off and tf every one were to break
even, the bank would mainly hold
most of the chips at the end of the
season.
The men who gamble in paystreaka
generally lose out. But in doing so
at any rate they develop the coun
try. They locate where is either
dredging or hoisting pay. And if it
wasn’t for them half the auriferous
country in the north would never
have been explored.
Not one in a hundred mining
compnies would think of sinking on
ground where pay has not been lo
cated, and often enough pay has
been found where no one but a luna
tic with a millionaires head and full
of pipe dreams would ever think of
sinking.
Now the men who do this are the
men who work all summer for
wages, and in the fall find a few
hundred dollars jingling in their
pockets; they gather up hose ana
piping and stilson wrenches and In
jectors and nipples and connections
and picks and shovels and boiler j
junk and with a few ton of coal, a j
few months' provisions and an old
ramshackle cabin move out to some
place they have a hazy crazy notion
there may be gold. The coal man
gets the benefit of it, the grocer
gets the benefit of it, the hardware
men profit by it and there are all
kinds of little side entertainments
that owe their existence to him.
It is an obvious fact that the pay
roll keeps the camp agoing and it Is
equally obvious that if every wage
worker left in the fall for the out
side there would be no roof gardens,
no picture shows, no annual balls,
no card socials—no social functions
of any kind, and the business
men living upon themselves would
have mighty slim picking.
On the other hand if the wage
worker remains he either stocks up
his cabin or risks his little waa
punching holes to gratify his hope
of finding pay where no one else
would thing of looking for it. If he
knows that if he remains in the.
country and takes it easy or takes it
hard during the winter he stands
just as good a show as the next man
of getting a job without having to
leave on the last boats to bring it in
with him on the first boats in the
spring, he will stay and take
chances.
And if this policy is pursued, look
! mg at it entirely from the business
man’s standpoint, every one is the
, better of it. The bank makes more
! profit than on bills of exchange, the
j grocery man, it stands to reason,
, reaps a profit from feeding and out
I fitting and there's a marked business
activity generally.
But, as stated, that sort of thing
I has not prevailed. Dredgemea with
I their eyes open for additional ground
j wondered why no one prospected
and discovered it for them; men
who had rustled up transient work
ers for mining companies forgot all
about getting the old timers a
chance although they depended upon
. them.
Now that there is a likelihood of
this condition being changed and an
| effort made to have residents and
prospectors employed as much as
possible it it a good sign, first from
the workers standpoint it will ensure
greater probability that the standard
scale will be maintained, and se
condly that they will not face starva
tion from an overflooded market
every summer; second because it
betters business men who no doubt
have ther eye upon the profit factor
as the main point.
When all is said and done without
the man below, the wage worker,
there is no prosperity. Business Is
dull and jawbone circulates instead
of the real thing. And jawbone Is
the thing that the business men
most detest.
Conditions as they now obtain
have been brought about mostly by
the mining and busiuess interests
themselves. It is tust as well they
realize conditions before too late, it
not too late.
