The third annual fair, hOrticul- tural, agricultural, mdusLrial and mineral exhibition which will take place in Skagway on september 18th, 1914, promises to be one of the best eypOSttiOns of tDe re- sources of the Skagway valley and other northern sections that has ever been held here.
 The B. M. Behrends building on Broadwoy, between Fifth and sixth avenues, where the fair was held last year has beeu secured, and Secretary F. J. Van de Wall of the association will be in attendance there from 3 to p. m. on Sunday September 9th, to alIot space to exhibitors.
 It is the intention to conduct the fair this year along different lines from those of last year in many ways. For instance: the associa- tion will give more valuable prizes and liberal cash premiums than last var, and as there was a good deal of dissatisfaction expressed then over the awards being made by judges unacqualnted with the merits of the exhibits it has been decided, if possible, to secure the services of A.

A large audience greeted ae workers of the local ". c. T. U. at the Methodist church last night to witness a Silver Medal Contest.
 The platform, decorated with 8 profusion of white blossoms, made 8 pleasing setting for the brightly dressed girls and boys, who gave an entertainment not only pleasant but instructive. The participants in the contest feature showed much careful preparation and training, and each entered seriously and earnest Iy into the occasion. Three judges, following the printed instructions Of the Union, independently awarded points to the individual participants; the points given each speaker by each judge were added, the one re- ceiving the highest number getting the Silver Medal; in this contest going to Miss Florice Clark, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. II.

tnOrlCy, TO WnOm the matter was re-
ferred, decided that the observation
of an Arbitration Award under the
present Federal Law is simply NOR
al obligation. "Of what effect is a
moral obligation on a railroad corpor-
ation?" exclaimed Mr.. Carter. He
says that other railroads that Joined
in the Eastern arbitration Of 1913,
through the activity of the Managers
Committee, have succeeded in evad'
ing payment of wages and application
of working conditions secured by that
Arbitration Award. "The names 81
'hostlers' have been changed to
'watchmen,' 'foremen,' etc., by some
railroads for the express purpose Of
avoiding payment of the wages fixed
by an award for 'hostlers.' In one
instance a Philadelphia and Reading
official discharged a hostler because
he demanded that he be paid the com
|pensation fixed by the award, and OF
ficials of that railroad compelled fire
men to continue cleaning engines fo1
months after the award became eft
fective, under penalty Of dismissal, al
though the award specifically relieved
firemen of that work.

Cost Of Living Has Increased.
"The cost Of living has materially
increased since 1910, and as the en-
gineers and firemen in this country
are responsible citizens, it is indeed
fitting that their earning power should
be sufficient to meet, at least, rea
sonable demand along this line in or
der to maintain a fitting standard Of
living.
ut is fair estimate that living ex
penses within the last five years have
increased practically twenty-five pei
cent, while the wages of enginemer
have increased in this corresponding
time about ten per cent, and ever
with this increase, enginemen in both
instances are not able to earn as large
salaries as they did prior to the in
crease, due to the added hardships
brought about by the Introduction Of
larger engines and the tonnage sys
tenn, which has greatly increased both
the labor and responsibility of the en-
gineer and fireman, and, requiring
them to lay off in order to secure the
necessary rest to stand the added
hardship, which time off duty means
a reduction In their earning capacity
therefore, it will be understood that
the earnings of enginemen do not
compare favorably with the wages OF
employees in other classes of labor
and while the railway companies try
to make it appear that enginemen are
high paid class Of employees, the
fact remains that their earning capac
ity has materially decreased, while Oh
the other hand their earning power
for the railroads has greatly increas

DECLINE IN LABOR COSTS
Railroads Pay Less to Labor Now
Than In Former Years,

Than In Former Years.
The statements issued by railroad
officials showing how the outlay for
labor has increased, have become
commonplace. To the reader of the
daily press who does not stop to con-
slider the matter, they create the
impression, as those who issue them
wish to create, that a large part of
the financial woes of the transporta-
ton companies at the present time
is due to the demands of railroad en-
ployes for higher rates Of pay. A few
moments examination of the facts,
however, soon shows how unwarrant-
ed these statements are. An analy-
sis Of the operating performance Of
the carriers at once discloses the fact
that the railroads by using larger en-
gines, heavier equipment and by ad-
ding to trainloads have developed a
remarkable increase in efficiency of
employees and while adding to the lab
or of the wage-earner have reduced
to striking degree the labor cost of
conducting transportation. An exami.
nation of the annual reports of SO
Western railroads to the Interstate
Commerce Commission shows, that
for 1000 traffic units handled in 1890
the cost of engineers and firemen was
sc cents as contrasted with only IS
cents in 1913. In other words, these
representative Western roads were
enabled to transport 1000 passenger
and ton miles ~ cents cheaper last
