ILASKA RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
WIN FAVORABLE ACTION
AFTER LONG EFFORT
(Anchorage Times)
The value of workers of real
labor organizations was demon
strated at Washington last month,
when the Senate passed a bill com
pensating officers of the Transpor
tation Brotherhoods on the govern
ment lailroaa in Alaska for time
lost when they were penalized by
Noel W. Smith, former general
manager of the Alaska Railroad.
The announcement of the favora
ble outcome of the case was con
tained in the June 24 issue of
Labor.
The employes concerned and the
amounts awarded were as follows:
J- J. C. Moore. $1,025.18; C. Bal
s:ser. $955.52; J. L. Axe. $780.14; W.
F. Clark. $359.19; John W. Gallo
way. $176.33; C. A. Matheson, $641.
27: Milton Boyer. $417.40; A. A.
Lewis. $3.36; J. D. Urban. $2.80: R.
C. Loekhead,' $8.04: A. C. Nicodet,
$4.02; P. H. Crowley, $8.04; J. S.
Rodebaugh. $7.68; A. Baumberger,
$6.60; P. D. Waugh. $6.40; J. C. Hut
ton, 640; R. B. Lewis, S7.02; in
all $4,415.39.
The bill now goes to President
Hoover for his signature. Back of
its passage is a highly interesting
story.

They were able to so completely
deflate the postal sleuth that the
restoration of the discharged em
ployes was ordered before the in
terview concluded.
Since then, General Manager
Simth has been replaced by Otto F.
Ohlson, a former division superin
tendent of the -Northern Pacific,
with whom these same Brotherhood
representatives maintain the most
harmonious relations.
The bill for compensation was in
troduced by the delegate of Alaska
and he piloted it thdu Congress, as
sisted by the National Legislative
representatives of the Brother
hoods.
MAKING GREAT PROGRESS
Foreman Joe Bell, of the Alaska
Road Commission, and his crew
of 10 men employed on the Uiam
na Bay-Iliamna Village new road,

in Seward. The crew has a mile
to go yet before the village is
reached. A grade of 10 percent
