LABOR SHORTAGE IN ALASKA
Wages Are Mounting Higher, Ordinary
Laborers Being Paid as Much
as STE Day.

An Alaskan correspondent writes
that the shortage of labor in Interior
Alaska has become acute, and In con-
sequence employers are bidding
against each other for the services OF
such laborers as are to be had. with
the result that wages are mounting to
unprecedented figures. This condition
is especially noticeable In the Fair
banks district, where as much as S12
a day has recently been paid for ordi-
nary pick and shovel laborers. There
nre not nearly enough workers to Hi
the available jobs. and instead of I'M
provement the condition is expected to
grow worse.
The Alaska road commission. which
received an appropriation of $500. 600
for the building. of roads and trails this
year. Is In the market for large force
of laborers. and where they are to
come from nobody knows. Moreover.
mining operations are just beginning
in a large way, and this industry will
require more men than the present Ia
boring population of the Fairbanks
region. and IL they cannot be had the
industry will suffer severely. Similar
conditions, but less severe, existed last
year. and were due TO the draining of
the labor resources by the government
railroad. which Is still short of men.
AS In all former years, many laborers
will undoubtedly come In from the
states, but not enough are expected to
even fiji the wants of the railroad COM
mission, much less to adequately re-
lieve the needs of private employers.
What Is true of the interior labor
shortage was also true In less degree
of the coast regions until recently. OF
1000 laborers sailing from Seattle to
Alaska last spring not half dozen got
as far as the interior. the men finding
Jobs in the coast regions. Should some
means not be found to relieve the labor
shortage In the interior Its develop
ment will be affected more seriously
than last year. when shortage of la
Dor resulted In many ventures being
abandoned. Many mining companies
were unable to complete their seasons
operations, and not q few business
men went broke because of inability
to All their contracts.

acid phosphate might he so large that
the amount the industry would be
able to furnish would not cover the

sary, AZ "a matter of equity to all deal
ers, to put a limitation on the amount
Of acid phosphate sold to any one
dealer. Indications at the present time
show that the majority OF dealers
have taken less of acid phosphate
than the amount offered.
"Tf tho above limitation had not
been made. tho industry could not
have furnished the other grades Of

I Furthermore, II was not possible for
manufacturers to increase their pro-
duction of acid phosphate, as this
requires more time TO manufacture

Of mixed goods Indications at this
time are that there is a greater de-
