NENANA WOMAN SAYS COAST
NOT AS GOOD AS INTERIOR
In a letter addressed to The News
from Seward, Mrs. Clara Allred
asks to have the home town paper
sent to her address in the States
because she has “no other way of
keeping up with railroad building."
“My opinion," the writer says, “Is
that Nenana is a more lively town
than either Anchorage or Seward. I
would not give interests in Nenana
for either of them for business.”
Mrs. Allred has some desirable
residence property in Nenana and
has been in business here and on
the trail near Healy, having only
recently disposed of her interest In
the Canyon roadhouse to Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Barker.
Mrs. Allred went out by way of
the Broad Pass trail and reached
Anchorage two days late to catch
the steamer Admiral Watson on the
last trip of that boat prior to the
commencement of the marine strike.
She went South finally on the
Northwestern.

sion. Of that number 690 were list

were working as stationmen laborers.
A. A. Lyden, of the Healy River
Roadhouse, who was in town this

NOVEL METHOD EMPLOYED
TO CURB ITALIAN PRICES
—
ROME, May 1—An attempt is'
being made here to curb outrageous
exactions of profiteers by establish
ing arbitral commissions which have
power to compel traders to refund
exorbitant profits and to impose un-!
usual forms of punishment.
One method of bringing profiteers!
to terms is to first compel them to ;
restore their ill-gotten profits and j
then display for one month in their
shops an official account of their,
gouging methods, and the punish
ment imposed upon them.
These steps are the result of,
public exasperation over the ex- j
cessive profits taken by retailers.
The Italian government first tried ;
other methods to shame the Roman
shopkeepers into charging only a
fair a^id honest profit. One of these
efforts was to compel the retailers1
to publish the price they asked for
every article; but it was of no
avail. |
Now the people are resorting to
the new provincial arbitral commis
sion which seems likely to achieve
results.
One of the cases recently handled !
by the commission was that of two
chemists who had charged 476 per
cent to 900 per cent profit. One >f
offenders had charged a purchaser!
$7.90 for a tube of anti-diphtheretle
serum which had cost him 90 cents
wholesale.
The arbitral commission compelled
him to restore to the buyer all ex
cept 100 per cent profit and the
druggist was compelled to hang in
his shop a record of the case against
him.
In another case a wholesale sta
tioner, who had charged a profit of
$8.25 on a quire of paper, was
compelled to refund all except a
fair prifit.
The actions of the commission
are hailed with delight by people
of the middle class, who have felt
more severely the exactions of the
profiteers. Their incomes have not
increased in proportion to those of
the wage earners, who now are paid
from seven to nine time as much as
before the war.
Misses Geraldine Patterson and
Jean Russell left on the train this
morning for the Healy river dis
trict to spend the holidays with
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Patterson
Miss Edna Kramer, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Kramer, of
Fairbanks, arrived in N’enana on
yesterday’s train from the upper
town. She is spending a few days
with Mrs. Jos. Fischer.
