Anchorage is in the throes of a labor
war, largely over the fact that the
large, fat, Juicy contracts are given to
Greek concerns, who send outside for
their help, and leave the rinds for
the oldtimers who, therefore, look for
a long hungry winter,
i The Chamber of Commerce held a
meeting there this week at which the
pros and cons of the question were
discussed with much warmth and
fervid, oratory, but after all was said
j and done, the report as adopted w’as
considered too strong for publication. !
I At the meeting it was stated that In
nearly every case fat conrracts w'ere |
secured by Greeks, who used their'
countrymen to the exclusion of other
nations, and that an American stood
little chance of knocking the persim- i
mons. One case was quoted where
a settler bid 22 cents on the pipe line,
which was turned down by the gov
ernment agents, and the contract
nwarded to an outsider for .in cents, ji
The official claimed that the man1
could not do the work for 22 cents.
The contractor securing the plum |
sublet It for 15 cents to Greeks, and i
they claim to be making money.
Two prominent attorneys there in
jected so much arerimonius errata
into the convention, that it was be
lieved wise to table the report. i
The matter has been taken up with
Senator Thomas McOann, of the see- :
ond division, Nome, who wrote a prom,
inent citizen of Anchorage as follows: 1
"I am much surprised to Team ot
the discrimination being made in fav
cr of foreigners in connection with <
government construction work at An
chorage. If the government estab- i
lishes less than Alaska standards In
connection with railroad construction
or any other line of work, a great
mistake will be made. Such a policy
will be reflected throughout the Terri
tory and will have an evil effect on the
welfare of the workingman who must
be considered the main factor in this
country, not excepting those hench
men connected with government rail
roads.
“A Panama standard of living can
not be maintained In Alaska, and if
the road cannot be built by American
workmen and an Alaskan wage sched
ule. it will prove a disaster rather than
a benefit to the Territory. Hope the ^
people of your division will vigorously,
protest against cheap men and cheap
methods.”
Another meeting of the Chamber ts j
shortly to be held, when the matter
will again be brought up. The gov
ernment is coming in for much cen
sure there for employing foreigners to
the exclusion of American workmen.

ALASKA PLACER MINING
AID FUTURE DISCUSSED
The activities in the mining dis
rict in Alaska are described in detail
n Mr. Brooks’ report, which contain
i!sn a chapter on the future of placer
nining in Alaska. Between 5,000 and
1,000 men are engaged in placer min
ng and prospecting for placers, and l
learly a third of the white population !
)f the territory is directly or indirect- j
y supported by the placer mining la- i
lutry will hold it8 own or will tt ln
herefore to them a most important
me. Will it continue to decline, or
ire the known auriferous gravels suf
ficient to justify the belief that the in
iustry will hold its own or will in
crease? It is believed that the future
of the Industry must depend, so far as
now can be determined, on the exploi
tation of auriferous gravels of lower
gold tenor than those which in the
past have yielded most of the gold
though there is, of course, always the
hope of finding new bonanza deposits,
such as have in the last decade yielded
large returns.
No one can deny that there are ex
tensive deposits of auriferous gravels
in Alaska, but because of the lack of
systematic prospecting of gravels car
rying small amounts of gold it is dif
ficult to reach any definite conclusions
about the extent of deposits that can
be profitably exploited when cheaper
transportation and fuel have reduced
the costs of mining. In view of the
Importance of the subject the survey
has published in this report a sum
mary of the data relating to it. The
general conclusion is drawn that with
cheaper fuel and transportation there
is no reason to believe that placer
mining will continue to decline.
