WAGES ARE NOT so HIGH IN SEATTLE
 AS REPORTS GIVE

According to advices received in private letter in Juneau today the talk of high wages being paid in the ship yards of Seattle for la borers and carpenters helpers is mostly newspaper talk. Carpenter helpers, who received $4 per day from the Alaska Juneau during the construction of the mill, are work ing in Seattle for $2.50 per day in the same capacity The skilled mechanics and carpenters are the only ones receiving the higher wages, and even their scale of wages does not appear high to man who has been used to the Alaskan scale
 The Seattle letter states: Mort Matthias and one other man were seen on the street here recently and said that they are getting the $2.5O scale as carpenters helpers, working in the ship yards. These two men worked for $4.00 per day for the Alaska Juneau and left here when the construction work was finished.
 Prices of foods in Seattle com pared very favorable with the prices in Juneau"
 The person writing the letter re- gently purchased 100 pounds of su gar and paid $850 for it and paid s5.75 for a case of Carnation milk.
 The letter says further that Se- lttle is crowded with laborers at the present time, drawn there by the talk of high wages being paid for day laborers. Many of them have been unable to secure work and are idle.
