SAUIRDAY NIGHT
The entertainment and dance to
be given by Nenana Igloo No. 17,
Pioneers of Alaska, will take place
at the Union Hall on Saturday, Feb
ruary 22, Washington’s Birthday
The oldtimers have enlisted the
best talent available in town for

mittee in charge of this part of the

interesting program of songs, recita
tions, fancy dances, drama and box

INCREASED WAGES
LONDON.—Two thousand agents
employed by a London insurance
company have notified their em
ployer's officers that they will strike
unless their weekly wage of about
$14.65 is increased by $5- They
have also inaugurated a movement
to organize the agents of other
companies, and thus enforce the de
mand throughout the country
At the preliminary meeting, when
the demands were formulated, and
the men appointed a committee to
call on the directors, their leader.
David Jones, of Leeds, advised them
to make their demands retroactive
from January 1, 1918, in order
that they might be repaid for the
advanced cost of living in the last
year of the war. “If your demands
are refused,” says Mr. Jones, “take
concerted action within a month.”
The suggestion was cheered.
The men claim that the company
pays to its stockholders 40 per cent,
free of income tax, on a capitaliza
tion of $5,000,000.
S. B. Waite, formerly of the A.
E. C., is at present in Cordova- He
expects to remain there for a while
at least.
SANTA BARBARA
III HONOR R
SANTA BARBARA.—Young men
of Santa Barbara county who serv
ed in the army or navy are to be
accorded a regal welcome home,
whether they come in groups, by
pairs or singly, according to an an
nouncement made after a confer
ence of civic leaders held recently

receptions were arranged.
The affairs, it is planned, will
be held every three months, and will
be in the nature of a grand ball,
with entertainment features. Every
