UNI HALL IT
The Alaska Labor Union's hall at
Anchorage has been finished, and it
was opened to the public the other
night, when a smoker was given.
Later, when navigation opens, the
nnion will lay a first class dance floor
on the main floor, which will give
a dancing pavilion 49x107 feet. The
second story will be devoted to offices
and a club room. The furnishings of
the chib room are being donated by
the business men and the public of
Anchorage generally, and by the
salesmen of the wholesale houses do
ing business with local merchants.
The building when completed will
be one of the largest log structures in
Alaska. The ends will be shingled,
and there will be a name plate of the
Union fixed in a conspicuous place.
Perhaps few people realize the magni
tude of the undertaking In construct
ing so large a building. It is safe
to say that the space alloted to social
gatherings, one continuous floor con
taining 5,24.3 square feet, is perhaps
the largest in Alaska. The whole
structure shows what may be accom
plished by a united effort, and great
credit is due to the union, and both
its officers and members thank the
public for their generous assistance
and the general goodwill manifested
towards union labor.

POSTAL SERVICE
• IN LAMENTABLE
i
i
The inadequacy of clerk hire In post
1 offices of the coast towns has resulted
in a general protest being entered at
1 Washington against the carrying out
of the recommendations made by In
spector Neil after his visit to this
section last summer. While consider
! able complaint was heard against this
unjust act on the part of the depart
ment, in not only cutting down the
clerk hire, but also In the reduction
1 of salaries below a living wage, ft
i remained for the local Chamber of
I
Commerce to set forth the facts to the
postmaster general, with the request
that the matter be remedied.
It is gratifying to know that the
Seward Chamber of Commerce has
also Interested itself in the move
ment to better the postal conditions,
and thus give the public the service
it is entitled to. Secretary James
writes to the local organization as
follows: “Practically the same la
mentable conditions exist in our post
office as does in yours, and there is
no doubt that by all the towns suffer
ing from this state of poor postal ser
vice entering their complaint the mat
ter will be given attention by the de
partment."
