 HOUSE FOR JUNEAU

The contract for the erection of two-story apartment building to be built on Lot 3, Gold Belt Addition to Juneau, on the corner of Ninth street and Calhoun avenue, for John Beck, was let Saturday, to Geo. R. Dull and G. Halverson, welllSnown Juneau con- tractors.

Besides there will be two large closets and back porch with service stairway. The rooms are all to be of comfortable size.

The plumbing will be modern, and the contract for the same was accorded to the well known firm of Marshall and Newman. MT. Reck stated that the apartments were all ready spoken for and should be ready by May 18th.

TOO MANY IDLE
 MEN IN JUNEAU

Juneau is menaced by an over-sup, ply of labor, according to large em- ployers of labor and to men who are giving some attention to the situation that now exists here. "The labor problem" said B. L. Thane, general manager of the Alaska Gastineau Min ing company, "is more serious than would appear on the surface, In my opinion Juneau has all the labor that will be needed here for some time and great deal more than can be used now"
 we are employing at the present time upwards of zoo men," continued Mir. Thane, "and even after the sea- son fully opens up this force will not be increased more than 25O. Many of our old men are off on vacation, and those will, of course, be given prefer ence over all others. Something should be done to get the news abroad that Juneau has all the labor than can pos sibly be used. It is unfair to the com munity and unfair to the men who come up here expecting to get work to allow the real conditions to remain unexplained. Many of these men com. ing here. expecting to. get work are enduring hardships now and if the immigration continues the conditions will get worse.
 Juneau is destined to grow into a large place and there will be work for many, but the growth should be nat ural-it cannot be forced without bringing disasterous results to the community. The steamship compan- les are unconsciously encouraging the immigration of laboring men here and some means must be adopted to coun- teract It."
 It has been variously estimated that there are from 500 to 500 idle men in Juneau willing and anxious to work. but for whom there are no jobs, and every boat is bringing more.
