GORDON BEETLES LOSES
 WIFE ON ALASKA COAST

Mrs. Gordon Bettles, aged 46, wife of Gordon BettIes, died recently at Anchorage at the Government hospital, after an illness of eight days.
 Mrs Bettles was born on the Yu- kon and was member of the Cock rine family, well known on the Yu- kon river as traders. After her marriage p years ago to Gordon Bettles, they established a trading post in the Koyukuk and were the founders of the town of Bettles. Later they traded on the Kusko- kwim river. They have been living in Anchorage and vicinity for the past two years. She is survived by her husband and brother, Andrew Cockrine, who runs the trading post at Cockrine.
 She was a member of the Wom- ans auxiliary, Pioneers of Alaska.

CHANGE NEEDED.

The Alaska lawmakers in 1915 passed compensation act applica ble to employees in the mining in Idustry. In it they attempted to put a value on various parts Of mans anatomy. in case of injury and loss iof member, says the Cordova Times.
 You can get $500 for loss of a great toe, $40 for loss of an ear, and s4S0 for loss of a nose. What system was used in determining these amounts is hard to tell. 4 nose may be Greek, Roman. Irish. or Hebrew, but its fortunate pos sessor would hardly value it as low as S4S0. And who would be willing to swap an ear for a great toe and say that it was an even thing? @
 One wonders if the legislators themselves valued their own noses at only S480. Some of the aspiring candidates for the territorial legis- lature would do we'll to study this act and come out publicly for an increase in the amounts of com pensation. Under the law as it stands, if a man loses his thumb he gets various amounts, depending on whether he is married, single, or married with children. The same is true if he loses his index finger However. if he loses any other fin ger, or any of his toes. or his nose. or his ear, he gets the same amount, regardless of whether he is married, single, or married with children. If it makes difference in respect to a thumb or an index finger, it would seem that it would also make a difference in respect to any other finger, or a toe, etc.

DARING THIEVES OVERRUN BERLIN;
 NOTHING IS SAFE

BERLIN.-In these disturbed days when the revolution profteer"-the successor of the war profteer- flaunts his newly acquired wealth in the face of an impoverished pop ulace, robberies and burglaries in Berlin increase at an abnormal pace. Street signs are full of announce ments offering rewards for the re- turn of stolen goods, and in one of the main streets of Berlin a fancy goods store displays this notice:
 Gentlemen burglars are request ed not to break open the shop front nor to tamper with the locks. There is nothing to steal here. All prop erty is removed from the shop win dows at night"
 There have been scores of hold ups, and the other day a man was stripped of his clothes, shoes and hat and left on the sidewalk in his un- derclothes.
 It is not safe for hotel guests to leave any portable property of any description in their rooms. Arti- cles of clothing have a way of van ishing into thin air, and hotel propri. etors decline all responsibility. Po- lice statistics indicate that the num- Der of hotel robberies has trebled within the last five years.
 To leave typewriters unpadlocked is sheer culpable negligence on the part of the owner. The Berlin criminal police have been obliged to organize a special department dealing exclusively with stolen ma chimes
 Cases of housebreaking have quadrupled within the last three years. Articles of clothing, bed clothes, carpets and curtains are the objects most desired by the thieving fraternity.
 Dishonesty among factory hands has grown to deplorable extent, the police say. Leather belting dis appears wholesale. It is cut up and sold to shoe repairers.
 Nor are churches, cemeteries and immune from robberies, the booty carried off being mostly ancient gold ornaments and jewelry.

WASTEFUL SAVING.

Discussion of the question ot wages paid by the Alaskan Engi neering commission has been care fully avoided by The News in the past, for the reason that we have felt it to be one chiefly concerning employees of the commission. We have taken the view that it was at least up to those directly concerned to take the initiative in move ment for increased pay. So long as it was possible for the commis- sion to secure workers at the low wages offered. and so long as those workers appeared to be satisfied with the wages paid them, we did not feel that we were called upon to eriticise those responsible for the wage scale, any more than we should criticise the commission en- ployes for continuing to put up with conditions so manifestly unfair and un-Alaskan.
 And it is not now our intention to try to create discontent among the railroad workers by calling at tention to what we regard as a grave mistake on the part of the Alaskan Engineering commission-an injus- tice to the commissions employees and a step backward in Alaskan de- velopment. We refer to the elim- ination of Sunday work in the Northern division.
 This is matter that directly con- cerns the men who are building the railroad, the majority of whom have accepted low wages almost without protest, because of their desire to see the railroad completed and the Interior country given an oppor- tunity 10 develop. It concerns the workers directly because it reduces their wages lower than they have been at any time since 1918. But it does not concern them only. It concerns every Alaskan who is inter ested in the future of the Interior country And it is for that reason that The News takes issue with those responsible for the issuance of Circular 145, whoever they may be.
 The elimination of Sunday work, in addition to reducing wages so low as to threaten the complete de moralization of the already crippled working organization, will also short en the very limited working season by nearly a full month-23 days, to be exact, if We reckon the season of railroad activity as ending on October 31. A serious loss of time if the railroad is to be of any use to us.
 If sufficient men of the type neces- Sary to insure the success of the Government enterprise were ayaila- ble to carry on the work. and if they were paid a fair wage for a working month of 26 days. The News would not advocate Sunday work. We do not believe in it. But suffi- cient men are not available, and those few who are here must work every day during the summer to tide them over the winter, when work Is not so plentiful.
 Under the circumstances. we ques- ton the right of the Alaskan En- gineering commission to curtail op- erations at this time, when all the work possible is necessary to hold the Interior country together until relief can come by way of the com pleted Government railroad. We
The Nenana daily news., 1920-05-27

feel that it is our duty to make vigorous protest, and do so in the
 hope that some good may come of it.
