Copies of the Anchorage Times
which reached Nenana on the last
mad from the coast indicate a
shortage of labor in the Southern
ion of the Government railroad.
Conditions may have improved dur
ing the time the papers were en
route to N'enana, but at the time of
publication, late in January, the
commission was experiencing consid
erable difficulty finding men for cer
tain positions.
All of the Anchorage papers re
ceived by The News, covering; a
period of more than two weeks, con
tained an advertisement for 08 men,!
who were needed for the following i
positions: one horseshoer, six tim-1
bermen, one flunkey, 18 laborers,!
three section laborers, 37 steam-!
shovel men, and two teamsters.
Recent arrivals over the trail re- j
port the arrival at Seward of a
considerable number of men seeking j
employment on the railroad, so it 1
is possible most of the positions re
ferred to have been filled by this
■ time.
I have paid all bills for the firm

Foreman E. A. Head, of the Alas
ka Engineering commission sawmill
was out today making a search of
the town for men to go to work in
| the mill, which is to be started up
as soon as a crew can be obtained.
Fourteen men are needed, but up to
ia late hour this afternoon only four
had been obtained, and Mr. Heat!
iwas thinkin.tr seriously of sending- an
jS O S call to Fairbanks for the
I necessary assistance. He will be
Jcompelled to do that if men cannot
be found locally to fill the places.
Mr. Head says this is the first
jtime since he has been in Nenana
j that he has had any trouble getting
I a crew together when he needed one.
j Usually he received more applica
tions than there were jobs, but this
spring the men apparently are not
here.
