WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY.
Effect of Wage Advance to R. R
Strikers in Alaska Estimated

SEW ARD, Alaska, May 1-Officials of
the Alaska engineering commission in
charge of work on the United States
railroad said today that they did not
believe the increase in wages granted
to the employees a few days ago follow
ing strike, would cause a correspond
ing increase in cost of construction and
maintenance. They count upon the
higher wages to attract the highest
type of skilled labor from all parts of
the country and increase the efficiency
of the construction force, enabling them
to obtain the same results with fewer
employees than would have been neces-
sary under a lower scale
The strike settlement includes the
adoption of standard rules and regula-
tions, including rule governing the
personal habits of employees. Under
this rule trequenting a saloon will be
cause for dismissal.
r. j. Weir, engineer in charge of the
Seward division. said careless and in
different employees would be eliminated
rapidly from all departments. Men of
families who will be of benefit to the
upbuiIding of Alaska will be given
preference. he said.
Under the method of computing the
paw of locomotive engineers, their wages
will average from s2e5 to 1915 a month.

Additional Instructions
Sent by Secretary Baker
to COnferees at Ell PaS0

Additional instructions were sent TO
Gems. Scott and Funston by Secretary
Baker today for their guidance in fu-
ture discussions with Gen. Obregon
Carranza war minister. as to the situa-
ton beyond the Mexican border. They
were prepared after Secretary Baker
had conferred with President Wilson
and later with Secretary Lansing and
Counselor Po lkof the State Depart
ment.
While no official would discuss the
messages exchanged. it is known that
Gen. Obregons insistence that some
agreement for the withdrawal of the
American troops from Mexico be reach
ed as basis of whatever other ar
rangementS that are made by the con- =
ferees will be met with clear state
ment that the Washington government
has no present intention of recalling
Gen. PerShingS forces. There is rea :
son to believe that Gen. Scott will point
out to the CarranZa war minister that
the de facto government is threatened
by factional enemies within its own
borders who would welcome an oppor-
tunity to rise against il.
= Would Satisfy the President.
w netHel oeH. Scott HAS beeH dutnOf-
lied to state plainly to Gen. Obregon
the intention of the administration to
hold its ground in Mexico until Villa
and his bandits have been crushed is
not known. There are many indica-
tions that this is the intention of Presi-
dent Wilson. however. although he is
anxious to avoid any but the most
friendly relations with the Carranza
government.
1t is believed the purposes of the
American expedition would be as COM
pletely satisfied if de facto troops
were able to do the police work neces-
sary as if it were done by Gen. PERISH
ing and his men. II was to arrange for
military cooperation to this end il is
said, and not for discussion of the
withdrawal of the American forces,
that Gems Scott and Funston were au-
thorized to confer with the de facto
war minister.
The, American officers asked today for
modification of the instructions re-
after they had reported Gen. Obregon's
views as to the withdrawal of United
States troops Officials here have de-
scribed the conferences up to this time
as being purely of preliminary char
acter and for the purpose of eXchang-
ing views. No demands have been pre-
sented by either side. II is understood.
however, that Gen. Obregon laid such
stress upon the necessity for the with
