BIDDER FOR A. P.W.

timate was $57,200.
The only other bid opened yes
terday was by the (Hans* Berg
Construction Company, Juneau, in
the amount of $119,429. Everyone
was sure there was a mistake
somewhere, and one mathematical
error was discovered right away.
However, a check on basic prices
showed the bid still would not be
the low one.
Construction will include water
and sewer line etxensions at Skag
way, and new elevated reservoirs.

low bidder on APW Project 50-A-27,
for street and sewer work at Ket

Keil and Peterman, Ketchikan, and
$668,692, L. E. Baldwin, Inc., Se
attle.

Two Meetings Scheduled
for Today - Midnight
Set for Final Word
At a meeting of hotel and rest
aurant employers held yesterday
afternoon at the Baranof Hotel, it
was agreed to offer "a dollar an
hour straight across the board,"
according to W. R. Hughes, man
ager of the Baranof Hotel. There
will be two meetings today, one at
2:30 and another at 8:30, of the
hotel and restaurant employees
union Local 871 (AFL) to consider
the proposal.
“The picture of the current nego
tiations presented to the public is
not complete,” Hughes pointed out.
“Just to keep the record straight,
it should be considered that in ad
dition to meals, which can reason
ably be considered the equivalent
of $3 per day per person, there is
two weeks vacation with pay, Soc
ial Security Insurance, Unemploy
ment Compensation Insurance, and
Workmen's Compensation Insur-1
ance, in addition to uniforms be
ing furnished in many cases, with
$n opportunity to earn gratuities.”
“Take the Baranof Hotel, for an
instance," Hughes pointed out, “ho
tel clerks receive one meal a day
ind two weeks vacation with pay.
Bellboys have their uniforms fur
nished and maintained and have
the opportunity of earning from
$5 to $10 or more per day in tips
plus vacation pay. Waitresses re
ceive, in addition to their present
day’s pay of $7.50, three meals a
day and their .uniforms are fur
nished by the hotel. They also
have the opportunity of earning
from $3 to as high as $7.50 per
day in tips. They, too receive two
weeks vacation with pay. Cooks
receive the same consideration in
meals, plus laundry and vacation
pay.
"The additional cost of payrolls
for vacation and the three types of
insurance in the case of the Bar
anof Hotel amounts to 8 per cent
of the total payroll, or approxi
mately $1,200 per month. These
figures apply proportionately to
every restaurant and hotel in Ju
neau," he concluded.
The deadline for negotiations is
midnight tonight.
Under the present contract hotel
clerks are now working for $l.l£t per
hour and are asking for $1.31; bell
boys and elevator operators are get
ting 81 cents per hour and askirig
$1; waitresses are being paid 93
cents per hour and asking for $1.06;
hotel maids get $1 an hour and afe
asking $1.25; cooks are being pqid
$1.75 per hour and requesting $1.82.
