WAGE INCREASE
FOR EMPLOYES
GOVT. RAILWAY
A general advance in the wage scale
in the northern or Nenana division
has been announced by the Alaskan
engineering commission, the advance
in pay to take place immediately in
all departments. Hourly men will get
a flat advance of 70 cents a day, which j
Will increase the minimum wage from j
61*4 cents an hour to 70 cents an hour.!
Monthly employes will receive an in
crease of $20 per month, where the
wage does not include board, Where
board is furnished, the wages of
monthJj' Employes will be raised ap
proximately $5 per month.
The advance in wages is accom
panied by an advance in the price of
board at commission messhouses from
$1.25 per day to $1.75 per day, which
leaves a net advance in wages of 20
cents per day for hourly men boarding
at the messhouses, and $5 per month
ther advance of from 20 to 40 per cent
The chief benefit of the wage ad
vance will be derived by married em
ployes taking their meals at home.
They will receive the full 70 cents
increase per day, or $20 per month,
and in the case of hourly men, it will
be possibly, by working Sundays, to
add another dollar to the advance.
In the case of monthly men whose
pay has been advanced recently, En
gineer-in-Charge Frederick D. Browne
states that those cases will be taken
under special consideration. They
may receive the full $20 advance or
only part of it, as may be decided by
those in authority.
Anoiner cnange, wmen is aireauy in
force, is the elimination of the retail
department of the commission store,
employes now being required to make
their purchases in cast lots and in un
broken packages. This is in the na
ture of an experiment, Mr. Browne
says, and will be continued only so
long as the merchants of the town
keep their profits within reason.
Should prices be advanced beyond a
point considered fair by the commis
sion, the retail department of the com
mission store will again be opened.
The present advance is the third in
■ v K • e ■ i
crease granted by the Alaskan engi
neering commission since the com
mencement of work in the Interior.
Originally board was provided at the
rate of $1 per day, and it continued at
i that rate until 1918, when it was ad
vanced to $1.25. The minimum wage
scale was advanced at the same time
to 61 !/i cents per hour, at which figure
it has remained until the present time.
It is estimated that th ecost of living
has advanced at least 40 per cent in
Interior Alaska since 1918, and a fur
it was evidently there with the effi
is expected during the coming sum
mer.
KENTUCKY WOMEN BE
GIVEN VOTE IN FALL
FRANKFORT, Ky., May 24 (by As
sociated Press).—Women of Kentucky
have been assured of the right to vote
for presidential electors in the coming
presidential election, independent of
the ratification of the federal suffrage
amendment of the requisite number of
states.
This opinion was given George G.
Speer, state banking commissioner, by
Attorney General Charles I. Dawson,
who holds that an act of the Ken
tucky legislature passed this year, to
provide for woman suffrage in presi
dential elections, is valid and that un
der its provisions women may partici
pate in the presidential election.
The attorney general said he could
find nothing in the bill which would
conflict with the constitution of the
state of Kentucky or of the United
States.

TRAIL WIZARD
HAKES TRIP
WITH TRACK)
Divisional Road Commissioner Shel
don, known throughout Alaska as the
“Wizard of the Trail” (some would
have it “Lizard”), wriggled in over the
trail Saturday on a chechako contrap
tion that looked like a cross between
a cider press and corn planter. But
it was evidently there with the effi
ciency for it dragged behind it an old
Cadillac automobile carrying a load
of more than a ton and another loaded
wagon,
Mr. Sheldon says the trip from
Chitina was uneventful, but demon
strated to his satisfaction that the
machine will perform everything
claimed for it and a good deal more
than he expected. He came through
from Chitina to Meier’s roadhouse
with a load varying between four and
five tons, including his fuel, amount
ing to twenty-five cases on the start.
The load was carried on two bobsleds
and an average speed of four miles
per hour was maintained.
Prom Tonsina to Gulkana the trail
was already bare, so the trip was
made on the Copper river to Gulkana
and from there for some distance on
the Gulkana river. Bob says the old
inhabitants and Indians shook their
heads and bid a fond farewell when
he started up the Gulkana.
On the summit the trip was made
over snow drifted to a depth of from
ten to twelve feet, but the tractor
went down only about six inches.
Over part of the summit, however, the
machine had to be hauled with horses,
owing to water.
The machine is a twenty horsepower
gasoline motor, mounted on a cater
pillar tractor. It is designed to do
work ordinarily performed by four
horses, besides having a pully which
can be hooked up to a wood saw,
threshing machine, feed grinder or
anything else of a stationary nature
that can be run with a twenty horse
power motor. The engine consumes
about one gallon of gasoline per one
and one-half mile, hauling a capacity
load at the rate of four miles per
hour,
Tfie machine was purchased by a
farming syndicate here through the
Samscfh Hardware Company, and will
be put to work plowing and discing
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. Mr. Sheldon says he is con
fident the machines will prove a great
boon to the farmers here, as they will
be able to perform their work so much
more rapidly, allowing the crops a
longer growing season, and besides
entailing no expense during the long
idle winter months.
It is expected that before the season
is over there will be many of the ma
chines in operation here. — Fairbanks
