The lowering of wages of cm
1 !oyes of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, official notice of which
appears elsewhere in this issue of
The New.-, will cause general regret
throughout the country. The News
is of the opinion that the pay of
the railroad builders always has
been inadequate, from the ttarf of
the enterprise, particularly in the
case of those whose employment
is limited to the summer months.
It is a fact that conditions are
bad in the States and that the com
mission will have little trouble se
curing all the men needed to fill
the railroad gangs during the com
ing season. There doubtless are
thousads who will welcome the op
portunity to come to Alaska for the
wages offered, but their coming will
not benefit the Territory, beyond
assisting in the completion of the
railroad, for they will not be able
to save enough during the short
working season to buy them a de
cent outfit for winter, in case they
desire to stay in the country after
the close of the working season.
It is not the intention of The
News to enter into any genera! dis
cussion of the wage question. It
appears to be the desire of Secre
tary Fall to reduce labor costs and
the labor market is such that it
would be futile to protest. But The
News is a believer in good wages
on principle and because more pay
for railroad workers means more
money for development, more per
manent residents, more families and
a higher standard of living, not to
mention greater efficiency in ra'l
road building. Believing these things
The News desires to go on record
as opposed to any reduction at this
time.
However worthy Air. Galen may
be of support, the fact that he is
a resident of Cordova is a handicap
that he will find difficult to over
come at the polls.
Residents of Nenana who have
enjoyed the privilege of oc upying
property upon which numerous pay
j:
ments are owing the Government,
should not now seek ‘■.Iso to evade
the payment of taxes to the city, i
the name of the newest publi tation
in Alaska, and it is a most attract
ive Jind news paper of eight pages,
with an even balance of ’iv* leah-i
ing and advertising. The paper is1
published by J. E. Rivard, editor,
an.i Ernest Blue, business manager,
both being well known Uaska news
papermen.
The coal miners of the States
should have picked some other day
to launch their strike. The operat
ors may be inclined to regard it as
sort of a joke.
The Healy River Coal Corpora
tion has 25 cars loaded with coal,
ready for shipment to Anchorage
tomorrow if the Sourdough Limited
can handle the load.
Andrew N'erland, Fairbanks mem
ber of the firm of Anderson Bros.
& Xerland, arrived in Xenana from
the States on the last train. He will
go to Fairbanks tomorrow.
Abe Simson, former Fairbanks
and N'enana business man, arrived
from Seattle on the Thursday train
and will re-engage in business re
> as soon as he can find a suitable lo
cation. He has been engaged in
business in Seattle for some time
past but he found the climate very
disagreeable there, especially during
the past winter, and he is glad to
be back in Alaska.
George Duncan, Kantishna mail
carrier, arrived in town late yester
day afternoon, by way of the short
cut trail, and will leave on the re
turn trip, by the same route, eary
Monday morning. All mail for the
Kantishna should be in the office
tonight.
W. H. Gilcher is paying Fairbanks
a brief business visit, having gone
to the upper town on the last train.

JAMES L. GALEN
FOR
Delegate to Congress
IN
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
APRIL 25th, 1922
In the course of a three column paid article, appearing in the
News-Miner of Manch 30, prepared and signed by him, M. O. P.
Gaustad, Dan Sutherland's personal and political representative, in
the Fourth division, says:
“Some don't like his (Sutherland’s) stand upon the administra
tion measure known as the 'New Bill'. 1 am not familiar with the
provisions of this bill but I am more willing to take the judgment
of Dan Sutherland upon its effect upon Alaska and Alaskans than
any other person I know and the fact that he is favoring the meas
ure and that Secretary Fall is to administer the affairs of the Ter
ritory under its provisions is assurance enough that there is nothing
very dangerous or detrimental in it. AT LEAST IT WILL START
SOMETHING."
Mr. Gaustad is right. IT HAS STARTED SOMETHING that
will not stop until Mr. Sutherland is thoroughly rebuked at the
polls for this betrayal of his constituents.
If Mr. Gaustad will familiarize himself with Section Three of
the New Bill, that authorizes Mr. Fall to lease the Alaska Railroad
to private interests, he will know why Dan Sutherland's support of
this bill "HAS STARTED SOMETHING." He ought to know that
real Alaskans will not stand for their delegate supporting such a
measure or attempting to foist a one-man rule upon this Territory.
