The Times Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
The new Episocpal church at Cor
dova, which will be consecrated by
Bishop Rowe on Easter Sunday, is
the outgrowth of ten years of activity
in the local fielijl of the missionary
society of the Episcopal church.
During the summed of 1908, Rev. E.
P. Newton, D. D. under authority of
Bishop Rowe and during construction
days of the Copper River and North
western railway, established the Red
. Dragon Club house, designed to pro
vide a social home for those men, who
without family ties in Alaska, had
been called by the lure of the North
and by the hope of gain and adven
ture and who found the open saloon
and gambling house the only place
where they could meet their fellows.
The Red Dragon was enthusiastically
recived by hundreds of men. A pool
table was donated by M. J. Henry, a
iiiano installed smoking, social card
playing and chess were permitted and
the club house was open seven days
in the week, the only restriction being
that the visitors should conduct them
selves as gentlemen. This was the
first mission of its kind in the church
and the prestige thereby gained auto
matically and naturally accounts for
the welcome of the church building
today. The wide reputation gained by
the Red Dragon is shown by illus
trated articles in national weeklies
such as Colliers, Literary Digest, etc.
Rev. E. P. Zeigler, the presnt priest
in charge, has recntly completed his
tenth year at Cordova and to him
great credit is due for the construc
tion of the church, the outgrowth of
his ministry. Rev. Zeigler’s work has
been varied. - In early days, when no
suitable buildings were to be had at
construction camps and towns along
the railroad, services were held in
saloons, pool-halls and sometimes in
the open air with several hundred in
terested auditors. During the past
year the Red Dragon Club House has
been used as the headquarters for the
Red Cross.
Through the generous donation of
the people of this section, the new
chapel has been built at an expanse
of over five thousand dollars.^'Nu'm

building fund are people of all creeds,

the mission by a generous contribu
tion. The church is of English archi
tecture, the plan of the present priest
in charge and was constructed by Mr.
Bartley Howard to whom credit is
due for his workmanlike execution of
the plans. The church will be stained
dark brown with a moss green roof
as soon as the frost is gone. The in
terior is fir paneled in oak finish. The
altar piece is a copy of Reubens
^Descent from the Cross, a memorial
to Mrs. George C. Hazelet in loving
recognition of her valuable help and
inspiration in early days, was painted
by and is a gift from the present
priest in charge. Two bronze tablets
mounted on oak will be installed
upon their arrival from the states,
also a memorial to M. J. Heney, who
willed to Bishop Rowe, ten thousand
dollars for the work of the Episcopal
church among the natives of the in
terior. A rich red carpet covers the
chancel and choir. An indirect light
ing system has been installed, and the
latest heating appliances keep the
chapel comfortable. The handsome
pulpit was made at the shops of the
railroad company. A bronze memorial
bell the gift of a generous friend in
the east is in transit, cathedral chairs
are also on the way and will be in
stalled within a short time.
Taken as a whole the new chapel is
a credit to the people who have so
generously contributed to make its
construction possible as well us to
Bishop Rowe and to the Rev. E. P.
Zeigler and to the town of Cordova.

PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
FOR SHIPBUILDERS
LONDON, April 19 (by Associated
Press).—Sir William Crisswell, chair
man of the shipbuilding firm of Will
iam Gray and Company, has inaug
urated at the plant a profit sharing
plan in the hope of bringing the work
ers and the company closer together.
It differs from any other profit shar
ing plans in that the total profits ac
cruing from the operation of the busi
ness shall be divided once each year
—80 per cent to the company and 20
per cent to the employes.
Included in the plan are all of the
4,000 employes, over 21 years of age.
The amount which each employe is to
receive will be figured on the annual
income exclusive of overtime, and
willful loss of time to the extent of
more than 12 days a year will be dis
qualification for a share in the profits
of that year. Allowance will be made
for illness and recognized holidays,
and time lost by reason of a lockout,
or general or district strike is not to
be a bar to participation in the plan.

ENGLISH FARM HANDS
DEMAND LARGER WAGE
LONDON, March 18 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—On
the heels of a report made by inves
tigators for the board of agriculture,
taking a rosy view of the farm labor
filiation in England, comes a demand
from the National Union of Agricul
tural Laborers for $5 a week increase
of I he present minimum wages. The
Agricultural Wages Board is endeav
oring to effect a compromise between
the union and the farmers, who refuse
to meet the demand.
An official of the union says the
situation is grave. - “We*are doubtful
of being able to hold our members if
the negotiations are protracted,” he
stated.
A government inquiry into the con
ditions of their work “on the same
lines and with the same publicity as
the coal inquiry” is urged by the farm
laborers.
The union has called a national
conference to meet next month to
consider the following program:
Forty-four hour week all the year
round. "*
National minimum wage of $12.50.
Overtime only when absolutely ne
cessary, apart front haymaking time
and harvest.
Overtime paid at time-and-a-half
rate.
Double rates for Sunday work.
Other problems tcf be considered
are old-age pensions of $5 a week for
laborers 60 years old, pensions for
widows and children and state owner
ship of land.
