FRIDAY BRIDGE CLUB TO
DISBAND TEMPORARILY
The entire membership of the
Friday Bridge club met last night
at the home of Mrs. Larry O'Keefe
and from 8 p. m. until midnight

The hostess had the honor of hold
ing high score for the evening’s play.
A vote was taken on the ques
tion of whether to continue or dis
band the Fridey club for the dura
tion of the summer, and in accord
ance with the result, the Friday
Bridge club will disband tempor
arily. Its next meeting will prob
ably take place in the fall.
Dainty refreshments were served
by the hostess during the course of
the evening, and a very pleasant
time was spent by all present.

WORK ON RAILROAD
TO BE CURTAILED
Frederick D. Browne, engineer-in
charge of the Fairbanks division
of the A. E. C , received a telegram
from Chairman Edes, of the A.
E. C., today, requesting- that a sum
of money which represents more
than fifty per cent of the small
amount available for work on this
division, be diverted immediately to
meet obligations incurred by the
Commission on the coast division.
Mr. Browne was also requested not
to incur any further obligations.
The withdrawal of this amount
from the money available for the
purpose of carrying on construction
work in this division, coupled with
the request not to incur further ob
ligations, leaves the engineer in
charge no alternative but to shut
down wherever possible, until such
time as funds become avilable.
The request of Chairman Edes,
relative to the incurring of any fur
ther liabilities would appear to
cover the stuation thoroughly, and
the proposition made to the rail
road workers, some time ago, rela
tive to accepting fifty per cent of
the wages due until the appropria
tion became available, becomes in
operative to a considerable extent.
A lay-off will, accordingly, go
into effect immediately, involving
track (rang, which has now com
pleted their work for the winter,
and such of the other work parties
in the yards and out on the line
whose services, under ordinary cir
cumstances, would have been tem
porarily dispensed with pending the
opening of spring work. The lay
off will also affect a certain por
tion of the office and store staffs.
Mr. Browne stated that the lay
off was only temporary and that
under ordinary circumstances an>
pending the opening of spring work
and the passage of the appropria
tion. it would have become impera
tive to lay off a few days hence
such of the men as it is proposed
to lay off now; the telegram from
the chairman merely bringing to a
head a plan that had been arranged
and which would have been put
into effect locally anyway.
No new work will be undertaken
or contracts let for the present, or
until such time as the frost is out
of the ground and work can be
effectively commenced. All of the
necessary work will be continued,
pending the passage of the bill car
rying the appropriation, and only
such work parties as cannot be
worked effectively no-v will be laid
off temporarily.

OF
CLUB DISCUSSES
THE CREATION
CENTRAL CHAMBER
The advisability of creating a
central all-Alaska Chamber of Com
merce for the purpose of taking
concerted action in matters pertain
ing to the general welfare of the
territory, was discussed at some
length at the meeting of the Nenana
Commercial club held last night,
and it was the concensus of opinion
that it certainly was a move in the
right direction.
The suggestion was moved by the
chair, Mr McDonald briefly and
concisely explaining the purposes
and objects of such an organization,
and the ensuing discussion disclosed
the fact that the idea had the en
dorsement of all the members pres
ent at the meeting.
The information gleaned as a re
sult of the discussion of the sub
ject led to the adoption of a resolu
tion, empowering the secretary to
take the matter up with kindred
societies in the Interior, to ascer
tain to what extent such a proposi
tion will meet with their support.
These inquiries of the other com
mercial bodies, it was felt, may also
result in valuable suggestions being
offered toward the formation of
such a chamber of commerce as ad
vocated by the N'enana Commercial
club.
