1000 MEN FOR EVERY JOB.
Alaska Work Offers Employment FOR
Only 400, Says Chairman Edes.

Only 400, Says Chairman Edes.
There is an open field for deserving
Democrats in Alaska this year. The
Alaskan Engineering Commission has an
nounced that during the next few months
there will be places for about 400 men.
Chairman William c. Edes says, how
ever. that the commission thus far has
been swamped with upward OF 1000 APP
plications. Indications point to stam-
pede of laboring men to Alaska as soon
as the summer opens. and every man
of them will be expecting work on the
government railroad.
In a letter to Senator Jones. of Wash
ington, Chairman Edes urges that men
be discouraged from making the trip
to Alaska In the hope of gaining gov
eminent employment. 1T would be a
great detriment to Alaska, and would
also damage our prospects Of getting
labor in the future" he wrote. ''if a
lot of men should go there this year and.
not finding work. should be stranded
without means Of getting back to the
States"
