For the first time since work was
started on the Government railroad
in Interior Alaska. Sunday is to be
observed as a day of rest by those
employes of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commssion whose wages are
computed by the hour. Announce
ment of the change from the old
order of things, which permitted the
railroad workers to get in every
day during the brief working season,
is contained in an official circular
posted yesterday over the signature
of Engineer in Charge Fred'k D.
Browne. The circular* is dated May
25 and is known officially as No.
145. It reads as follows:
‘‘Hereafter no Sunday work will
be permitted on the Northern divi
sion, excepting in eases of very great
emergency such as fire, flood, or ex
cepting in those cases where month
ly men such as watchmen, mess help,
barn men in care of horses, em
ployes in the power plant, and oth
ers of similar occupation are re
, quired to work in order to carry on
With safety. This applit* to all
classes of labor and must be strict
ly enforced.”
It is not known to The News at
■ this time why the circular was is
sued. but it is quite evident that
:the restriction of the work along the
'line to six days a week is not puou
lar among those men who come
within its scope, since it means a
very material reduction in pay.
[ Neither is it known to The News
whether the same rule is to apply
‘to the Southern division At the
;time Chairman Mears announced an
, advance in wages on the ejast, there
was considerable objection among
jthe men, culminating in a demand

for time and a half for overtime and
double time for Sundays and holi
days. Later, the chairman consent
ed to an additional advance in the
coast wage scale, and it would ap- j
pear from the account of the ne- j
gotiations. as printed by the An-1
chorage Times, and reprinted by J
The News, that the differences be
)
tween the employes and the com
mission were adjusted on that basis,
no mention having been made by
the coast paper of extra pray for
overtime or Sunday work.
The prohibition of Sunday work
in this division will have the effect
of reducing wages below the scale
paid prior to the recent raise, which
became effective on the first of May.
Take the base wage for example.
The former scale of S4.90 per day
permitted a day laborer to earn $147
in a month of 30 days. With Sun-1
day work eliminated, the gross
earnings during a similar period, at '
$5.60 per day. are only $145.60, or
$1.40 less for the month than it
was possible to earn before the re- ,
[cent advance in wages.
And when the charge for board i
is taken into consideration, the loss.
|through elimination of Sunday work,!
i is still greater, by reason of the i
fact that the men must eat and pay
i board bills on Sunday the same as
jon any other day in the week. Prior,
to the advance in wages, the net
monthly earnings of a day laborer
'amounted to $109.50, that being the
i sum left after deducting the old
• board charge of S37.50 from the:
'gross earnings of $147. The new
;board charge, at $1.75 per day in
j stead of $1.25, deducted from the
Igross earnings of $145.60, haves
(the worker now only $93.10 for his
Imonth’s labor, a loss of $16.40 for
ithe month, by reason of the ban on
Sunday work.
The loss for the summer, should
'a worker remain in the employ of
the commission from the first of
June until the end of October, will
j be actually greater than is indicated
’by the above figures, because of the
| fact that there are two months with
five Sundays each and only one 31
. day month with four Sundays to
' offset •.'.•.cm.

The train arriving from Fairbanks
tomorrow will bring a considerable
number of passengers who will board
the steamer Tanana at Nenana en
route to the States. Among those
scheduled to leave Fairbanks in the
morning are Marshal L. T. Erwin j
and a number of insane patients, j
and Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Ward.
The Tanana was at Gibbon yes-1
terday morning, having started on j
the return voyage up the river at j
four in the morning, and reported j
from Hot Springs this morning. Six
hours after the Tanana had left the
army town, a run of ice came down
the river, completely tilling the big
stream, and indicating a general
breakup above Gibbon.
Captain Green reports that the
barges of the White Pass company
which wintered at Hot Springs pass
ed through the breakup without
damage and are now in good con
dition.
The Tanana is scheduled to sail
from Nenana, instead of Fairbanks
as has been the custom in the past,
and it is probable that Nenana will
be the headquarters of the White
Pass fleet during the greater part
of the season, for the reason that
satisfactory rail connections for Fair
banks can now be made at this
point, obviating the necessity of
making the long, costly voyage up
the river.
The funeral of Mrs. Rosenblum.
a flu victim of Fairbanks, was held
in the upper town today.
