IT'S A GREAT L|FE IN
 THE STAIES..y[

Just as soon as the railroad ap- propriation of $17,000,000 is passed by Congress, hundreds of men who have formerly been employees of the gov ernmcnt railroad in Alaska, will throw up their jobs in the states and return north, many coming back with the in tention to make Alaska their future home. Men now earning $l0, SIP, and $l5 a day, all skilled men, besides many of the former common laborerS on the railroad, will come north again. Although a man makes big wages in the states, when he has paid his week ly dues to his union, the sympathetic assessments and the many free will offerings to the families Of those kill. ed or injured, he has about $40 q week left out of his pay envelope"
 The above is the statement of C.J. Sellander, we'll known in Seward, who was aboard the Admiral Watson. bound for Anchorage, to again be cm- ployed by the commission as machin ist.
 Mir. Sellander has recently returned north from the states. For several months he was employed as machin- ist in San Francisco. He made from SIP to $l5 a day, six days of the week But, as he says, he had left out of his pay envelope, about $40 at the end Of the week.
 "One has no idea, unless he has been in it, how quickly the money goes for union purposes" said Mir. Sclland- CT.
 Where l was working in San Francisco, one or two men were badly injured daily and some weeks a man was killed daily. On Saturday after moons, men were at the pay gates SO lciting funds for the families of those injured or killed. If you did not con tribute, you were a piker, and the smallest amount one was expected to give was S5.
 "Then there were weekly dues to your. union, and special assessments for this labor union, here, there and everywhere, out on a strike. You were required to pay these assessments, you had no other choice. When you CaShed in at your home, to pay the rent, grocery and meat bill, sometimes you had enough left to put aside for a pair of socks for yourself, handker- chief for the wife, or a button for the kids shoes.
 Some life outside, but one must weaken, and come back north to make a living. There will be hundreds of former employees of the commission coming north just as soon as the ap- propration is passed"
