MANY AFFECTED BY
RAILROAD LAYOFF
The layoff in the forces employed
by the Alaskan Engineering com
mission, in accordance with and as
a result of the telegram received
by Engineer-in-Charge Browne from
Chairman Edes. goes into effect im
mediately and involves at least 150
men.
All construction work which had
been in progress is halted and the
men employed on these works nave
been brought to town to be re
leased Xo new grading contracts
will be awarded on the Xenana
Fairbanks line, and much of the
work planned by the officials prior to
the receipt of the telegram from
Chairman Edes, will necessarily have
to be held in abeyance pending
further instructions or the early
passage of the bill carrying the ap
propriation for railroad purposes.
The money which had been alloted
for the continuation of the work on
this division of the road, from the
last appropriation, would have been
sufficient to permit of the work
being continued until the new ap
propriation was passed, but Chair
man Edes has seen fit to withdraw
more than fifty per cent of that por
tion of the last appropriation allotted
to the Fairbanks division. The
money so diverted is to be applied
toward meeting some of the liabili
ties of the A. E. C. on the coast
division.
Immediately after Superintendent
Packer had been advised of the con
tents of the wire, and it had been
intimated that an alteration of the
construction plan must necessarily
be made immediately, the track
gang was called in, some of the
section gangs were cut down, the
piledriver crews on the Fairbanks
line and the steam Shovel and Brown
hoist crews were laid off, and the
roundhouse and machine shop forces
were reduced by about twelve men.
The piledriver working- at the south
end of the Fairbanks line will prob
ably fii.ish today and the men will
come in for settlement.
It is expected that there will be
a considerable reduction in the office
and store forces also, but there will
be no immediate reduction in the
store department, owing to the fact
that the May inventory is now being
taken; but as soon as this work
has been completed, several of the
employees of this department will
also be laid off.
Supt. of Transportation Reaburn
also laid off several teamsters, and
also released to their owners, sev
eral head of privately owned stock
that had been working for the gov
ernment. He expects to lay a few
more off in a day or two, just as
soon as the work they are now en
gaged in, is finished.
Retrenchment along these lines
will also go into effect on the Fair
banks end, but the number of men
involved cannot be ascertained defin
itely at the present, but it is ex
pected. however, that the grave! pit
gang under Billy Butler and the
crew of the steam shovel will be
laid off. as well as a few more em
ployees.
Chernaeff & Co have finished
their grading’ contract and have
come to town for settlement. Five
contracts on cuts near camp 440,
under the supervision of the resident
engineer stationed there will be
continued until completed; the con
tracts let to George Palmer, Knut
Koland, J. D. McMahon and Albert
Lundborg will also be continued un
til completed, as will the wheel
barrow contract let to John Mitchell
and the team contract let to Dave
Patterson. The grading contracts of
Messrs Palmer. Koland, McMahon
and Lundborg cal! for the use of
teams in the grading. No new con
tracts will be let for the present.
It is difficult to say, with any de
gree of certainty, at the present
time, just when a resumption of
railroad activities will become pos
sible. All arangements have been
completed, material and supplies dis
tributed and the machinery put in
shape and got in readiness to com
mence aggressive construction work
all over the road just as soon as the
frost conditions will permit; and the
work will probably be taken in hand
as soon as the 'appropriation becomes
available.
Had Chairman Edes not requested
the money from this division, a la •
off would have gone into effect until
work became possible again, but the
reduction in that case would not
have affected so many employees
as it now has. The work also would
have been taken in hand immediately
after the ground had thawed suffi
ciently. but this is now im
possible. owing to the depleted funds
available for work on this division.
A detailed statement of the forces
affected by the lay-off will be fur
nished the readers of the News later.

SERGA SAMSONAL
ADJUDGED INSANE
Serga Samsonal, a Russian trap
per, who recently created a disturb
ance on A street and attempted to
assault Lipman Simson on the street
near the Portland, was brought be
fore Commissioner McDonald on
Saturday afternoon for an investi
gation as to his sanity.
Ten witnesses testified to inci
dents happening recently which in
dicated that the unfortunate man
was mentally unbalanced. Dr. More
testified that the man is not sane
at the present time.
A jury, composed of Messrs Edgar
Brooker. Bert Wilson, W. J. Julian.
J. E. Miller, Tom Smith and M J.
Cooney, was compelled to hear the
inquiry and their verdict was to
the effect that the man was really
and truly insane ana recommended
that he be committed to the insane
asylum at Morningside, which Com
missioner McDonald accordingly
did.
The man is at present in the
custody of the marshal, and will
probably be sent to Fairbanks en
route to Morningside when navi
gation opens.
