Railroad Work Is
 At Its Lowest Ebb

ANCHORAGE, (By MaiD. - Not more than two thirds of the force on the Anchorage division of the govern ment railrad year ago is now em- 2lcyed on the enterprise Twelve months ago. when the force was re- regarded as unusually small, it num- bered about 1000; at present it totals 692. Before the entrance of the Unit ad States into the world war, the An chorage division employed as many as $500 workers
 The present small force is due to the lack of an appropriation for the railroad by the last congress. No new construction work can be undertaken. Activities are limited to finishing con struction work under way, principally bridges, and to the maintenance and ~urtailed operation of that part of the system that is in a state of compile ton.
 Information recently was received at the Anchorage offices of the Alas Ian Engineering Commission to the effect that many honorably discharg- ed soldiers in the States contemplated coming to Anchorage to work On the government railroad. So they might entertain no false ideas relative to opportunities for employment on the railroad, an official statement setting forth there are not enough jobs for applicants on the ground was sent to the purchasing and employment office of the Commission in Seattle, and this statement has been given wide pub : lcitv.
