The Nenana district offers oppor
tunities for prospecting, fanning, and
trapping that are unequaled in any
other section of Alaska.
Gold placers of known value, close
to Nenana, are producing annually sub
stantial amounts, and there are scores
of streams within the district on which
little or no prospecting has been done.
These streams, until a short time ago
almost inaccessible, are now easily
reached by means of the new Govern
ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon
will be the scene of much mining ac
>
Farming in the Nenana district has
the advantage of a growing season fully
ten days longer than that of any other
section of Interior Alaska. There is
much desirable land in the district open
to homesteaders, and marketing possi
bilities are being expanded steadily.
Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana
and adjacent districts are noted for the
fine quality of their fur, and trappers
annually bring large numbers of pelts
to Nenana and receive for them higher
prices than are obtained for the average
furs of other districts.
Game of all kinds abounds in the
Nenana district, there are scores of
trout streams easy of access, and the
scenic wonders of the district are un
surpassed. Hie district is the natural
gateway to Mt. McKinley National
Park, and close to Nenana may be
viewed the largest coal ledges in the
world.

resources and possibilities of the Ne

CLOTH WORKERS i
SOLVE PROBLEM
OF WAGE ISSUE
I
—
ROCHESTER, N. Y. — Collective
bargaining is the method adopted
by the clothing industry in Roches
ter to solve its labor problems.
Manufacturers declare that it has
been so successful here that the Na- ■
tionai Industrial Federation of.
Clothing Manufacturers has been j
formed to deal with a national or
ganization of the workers. In a
time when strikes have been fre
quent in other industries there has
been peace in this industry here,
except in one plant which is not a
party to the agreement between the
employers and workers.
Shoe manufacturers of Rochester
have adopted the plan and ended
a strike by an agreement similar to
that in the clothing trade,
j Under these greements, the strike
'and lockout are believed to have
been eliminated and the open shop
prevails. The union relinquished
iits claim for a closed shop. One of
dhe labor managers, representing
the employers, says that the union
| suffered no loss by doing so, but
■that, on the contrary, the number
.of clothing workers organized has
; increased from 50 percent of the
| total employed to 90 or 95 percent,
j As the collective bargaining plan
! operates here, the more general
I agreements between the workers
.and employers are made by a local
I joint board, composed of representa
tives of the clothing manufacturers
and the workers. Working condi
tions are formulated by a labor
adjustment board composed of rep
resentatives of both sides. Its de
'cisions become the laws of the in
! dustry. Appeals can be taken to
ia court presided over by an impar
! tial judge, whose decisions are ac
cepted by both sides as final.
In the shops, labor managers rep
j resent the employer, and shop chair
jmen the unions. The manufactur

sps have their price commodities
and time-study men and the unions
retain their local business agents.
The plan had its conception as
the result of a threat of the workers
to go on strike. In its adoption
the manufacturers obtained the ad
vice of Dr. Meyer Jacobstein, of the
University of Rochester, who has
been teaching methods of service
management.

TRADERS SELECT NAME
PLEASING TO NATIVES
SEATTLE.—When the Hibbard
Swenson company of Seattle asked
the customs department for permis
sion to change the name of the t
power schooner Tyee to Chukotsk,
on the plea that the latter name is
easier to pronounce, the company’s
officers meant to be taken seriously,
despite the merriment in govern
ment circles caused by the request.
When besieged with questions as to
where he “got that stuff,” Henry
C. Hibbard, head of the company,
explained that all along the Arctic
Siberian coast the name Chukotsk
rolls easily from the Eskimo tongue,
while Tyee is not only difficult for
the natives to pronounce, but hard j
for them to remember. At last ac
counts the Tyee that was, the Chu- j
kotsk that is, was reeling off the
knots on its 4,000-mile journey to j
its Arctic destination, and with its
new name shining in bright letter!
on its sides.
