Sidelights on the European War

London Correspondence OF The
Associated Press.)-The reason why
the workers who remain at their
places in British industries are asking
for war bonuses is explained by Sec
rotary Robert Williams of the Nation
al Transport Workers Federation,
who says that while the real need Of
the workers is 70 meet the increased
cost of living. the employers are reap
ing exceptionally large profits, instead
OF suffering from the war Although
10000 members OF the Seamen's union
have gone TO the war. the merchant
ship owners are operating to such ad-
vantage that they charge six times
the normal sums for carrying freight
While 10000 trade unionists altogeth-
er are bearing arms in Britain's de-
tense, the millers have increased their
profits four-old.
In his case against the ship owners
Williams points out that they now
have no serious competitors in the
carrying trade Of the world, and that
as a result OF the elimination of Ger
man ships, the freight rates between
Argentine and British ports have
jumped from 50 and a fraction a ton
To around ST.. Another instance of
profit to ship owners was that a GER
tain cargo steamer built in 1910 at
a cost Of SIS. 900 was recently sold for
$4,000, an increase of rs per cent
over the original price.
While the ship owners complain OF
unfair treatment by the admiralty,
which has taken many merchant ships
as transports. the arbitration board
which has settled disputes in these
matters consists almost entirely of
ship owners. At the time the board
was appointed shipping prospects
looked very dull and the owners
clamored for government service. A
rental OF nine shillings six pence per
ton gross register was decided upon.
with a discount of six pence a ton for
vessels employed for more than one
and another six pence off for
vessels employed for more than two
Since then the ship owners
have demanded not only the shilling |
reduction be removed but that they be !
given an increase of two shillings six |

Surveys Are Being
Made for Bridge

Surveys are being made OF the
Cinema slough for the purpose OF
providing the Alaska Road commits
sion with data and specifications
for the proposed new bridge a
Fairbanks. The surveys are beinS
made at both Cushman and Turner
streets, and it will be determined
later which site will be chosen.
The feature that will enter into
the problem of selecting site for
the bridge will be to what extent
traffic will be hindered by the cables
that will run back from the tower
Of the bridge TO the streets at each
end Of the structure. These cables
will interfere more or less with
traffic, and an effort will be made
to determine which location will
minimize this difficulty.
John Tug, who will have charge
of the work, explained Saturday
that it was originally agreed to place
the bridge on Cushman street, but
that the specifications now being
made may possibly change this plan.

ALASKA MAY
GET FAIR RATES

Juneau Empire: An international
excursion from the North to the
San Francisco fair is contemplated
by the Prince Rupert Board of
Trade, and an effort is being put
forth by that organization to inter
est the towns of Southeastern Alas
ka in the proposition. 1t is planned
to charter a steamer-the Prince
George of the Grand Trunk and the
Princess MaQuinna of the Canadian
Pacific have been suggested as be-
.ng available from Prince Rupert.
The plans thus far are tentative,
and nothing definite will be done
until it is ascertained approximate
~ as to how many would consider
the trip tavorably.
The idea. as far as it has been
developed, is set forth in letter
received by p. L. Gemmett. Of the
Alaskan hotel from F. S. Wright,
commissioner Of Prince Rupert
Board of Trade. The letter is dated
April S, and is as follows:
although at the present time, no
arrangements have been made in re-
gard to reduced rates from Alaskan
points to Prince Rupert for the bene-
tit of those intending to make the
trip, Think it will be possible to do
so, after We get some idea OF how
many may be contemplating making
the trip from those points.
The proposition has received IA
vorable notice locally, and reserva
tions are being made rapidly, SO it
is important that anyone who wishes
to make the trip, secure their &C
commodations early. 1t would also
assist arrangements considerably il
people would notify me as soon as
possible in preliminary way as
to going, so that the necessary allot
ments of berthing could be made
for each town.
AT the present time the boat we
intend to use will be the S. S. Prince
Rupert, provided We can fill the nee
essary guarantee of $50 passengers
failing in that it is expected that
I S. S. Maquinna VII make the
rip with a guarantee Of 100 pass
eneers.
The excursion has its conception
in the attempt to combine publicity
at the fair for the North" and al
the same time to furnish Northern
ers with the opportunity of visiting
the fair under exceptional conditions
as to comfort and cost. No effort
will be spared to make the trip an
enjoyable one from start to finish
and a successful issue should great
ly assist in fostering that spirit OF
eamaradie between cities of the
North SO necessary to the welfare
of all.
I'VE trust our proposal will ap
peal to the people Of Juneau"
