NEW WAGE SCHEDULE GOING INTO
EFFECT ON U. S. R. R. APRIL FIRST
Wages on the government railroad
i arc to be readjusted according to a re
cent announcement by Captain Mears,
the adjustment to be based on the
actual increase in cost of living as
! shown by the commission mess halls.
The new scale will go into effect
April 1.
During the past year, according to
Captain Mears the mess halls have
been operated at a loss, therefore the
charge for meals are to be increased
and to equalize the burden it is prob
able that the wage scale will be in
j creased to meet the added charge for
meals.
Captain Mears’ circular on the sub
ject follows:
TO ALL CONCERNED:
The following announcement is
made for the information of alt con
cerned :
After careful investigations and the
exercise of economy co npatible with
| the best interests of our employees,
it has been found that wuh the pres
ent rate of charges for meals served
to employees the mess halls of the
commission, without exccptic n, have i
been operated at considerable lo$s. |
and it is obviously imperative, with |
the view of placing Lhis service on a
self-supporting basis, tha* an adjust
ment be made and the charges in
creased to cover the cost.
Therefore, in order not only to
equalize the increase in the charges
for this sendee, but also to the end
that different employees of the com
mission may be placed on a rating
commensurate with the skill and ex
perience required to fill their respec
tive sitions, a readjustment of the
present wage scale becomes neces
sary, and the scale adopted for the
season’s work will be made public in
the Alaska Railroad Record, and be
comes effective April 1, 1917.
This matter was brought to the ut
tention of the Honorable Franklin V.
Lane, secretary of the interior, durng
our recent conference in Washington,
and after a thorough discussion of the
subject his approval and consent weu
obtained in the action 1 am now tak
ing. F. MEARS, Commissioner.

ALL SELDOVIA
BUT FIVE WANT
BURGINNAMED
Busy on Lower Inlet in AH
Lines; After New
Postmaster
SELDOVIA, March 22.—(Mail cor
rcspondence.)—The petition to have
Dr. Frank Burgin appointed post
master of the Seldovia postoflfice
proves him to be a very popular man.
The petition was presented to 127 pa
trons of the postofTice ' and 122
thought favorable of the choice, and
live decided to be neutral. Dr. Bur
gin is a democrat and very favorably
known.
The steamer “Tyonic” will be put
in the water for the summer’s coal
business on the spring tides about
March 24.
One of the Port Graham natives
cutting piles at Dogfish bay cut his
arm with an axe and was brought to
Seldovia to be treated by Dr. Burgin.
It is a severe injury.
Andy Johnson and his wife are the
proud parents of a bouncing 15 pound
girl born on March 14.
Captain K. Bowen delivered ore
sacks to the chrome iron prospect
claims near Port Chatham, where
there is ore ready for shipment.
Three thousand dozen eggs and
some fresh fruit was taken to An
chorage on March 9, by the first gas
boat tof the season to make the trip
up the inlet.
Captain Anderson has finished re
pairing the “Buffalo” and was trying
out the engine the other day. He is
also building a 50-foot scow for the
summer work.
J. A. Maghill, “Beluga King,” will
arrive here about April l, to test out
a new industry and we all hope to
see him put up a pack that will com
pel him to enlarge his plant for an- j
j
other season’s work.
We have been hoping to hear that
the postal department would consider
a mail route from here to Illiamna as
' the accumulation for that office is
!
considerable.
Three trade and manufacturing site j
' locations have been made up Kache-1
mak hay this month.
The Seward Fish company sent a
circular letter to be passed among the
fishermen, but the letter failed to
state any price for the clams and
shell fish wanted. Shipping fresh fish
to Seward will be hazardous as most
.
of the steamers call here north-bound
I and that will mean that the fish must
be on board from three to five days
j before delivery which is bad for the
buyer and seller. ,
Port Graham cannery is running
full time getting ready for the season
and making cans.
Spring fish are beginning to show
and many are caught during the good
days.
The Alaska Herring and Sardine
company, operating at Port Moller,
! will construct a small cannery at that
place which will be operated this sum
mer in connection with their herring
i plant.
