While The N'exs is in full sym
pathy with the employes of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, in
their appeal for relief from con
ations which have been brought
;ib-out by a general lowering of
evage scales along the Interior end
of the Government railroad,, the
proposal to establish a cafeteria in
Nenana. which will be open to the
public as well as to railroad work
ers, appears to be Quite s? unjust
as existing conditions seem to be
to Commission employes.
Should the Commission announce
the reopening of the mess, for the
purpose of providing i ailroad work
ers with meals -it cost, below cost,
or at any price it might decide
upon, it would be a matt-'-r of Com
mission business strictly, and The
News would not feel called upon to
comment on the action, one way or
the other, so long as it appeared
to meet with the approval of those
most concerned. But the establish
ment of ar. eating house along the
lines proposed, which will come in
to direct and unfair competition
■with established private enterprise,
is a horse of another color, and *t
is the sincere hope of The News
that some other way will be found
to reduce the cost of living to a
figure that will be satisfactory to
those in the employ of the Com
mission—some way that will give
the relief sought without needless
injury of those who have their
money invested in private enter
prize.
The News does not ho.d a brief
for any man who profiteers, but it
should be remembered that there
are five restaurants in Xenana, all
in competition with each other.
It certainly cannot be sain that
there is a combination in retrain:
of trade for every day. alraos*
appear new reductions on the bills
of fare. That prices have not lower
ed more rapidly has been due. in
large part, to the fact that the
Alaskan Engineering Commission
has failed to follow its wage reduc
tion with a lowering of 'height
tariffs
All of these matters doubtless
will be adjusted shortly, to conform
with new conditions attributable to
the near-completion of the railroad:
and when they are. the public will
reap its full share of benefit.
In the meantime, it is to be
hoped the Commission will not go
into the meal-furnishing business
beyond the actual requirement of
employes. It might as well be ar
gued that The N'ews. because of
what might appear to be unreason-1
able prices, should be penalized by!
the establishment of a newspaper •
! on the railroad reserve, with guar- ;
antee of Government support, free ■
. quarters, supplies at cost and the
opportunity to canvass the town for j
business at cut rates.
The News appreciates the fact !
that Mr. Ferrell has shown a dis-!
position to he fair. He did probably '
all that could be done to reach an 1
agreement with the restaurant men '
of N'enana and the regret is that j
the meeting was without result. ■
j But perhaps there is another way j
out of the difficulty. Let us hope .-o.
And let us hope the solution, when (
found, will give relief, without in
| jury.
