PNEUMONIA FATAL
 ID KLE|NSCAM|D1

The first death in any way con nected with the epidemic now preva- lent in Fairbanks occurred in the upper town about noon today when Henry Kleinschnnidt, well-known old. timer of Interior Alaska, succumbed to an attack of pneumonia at the Nordaie hotel.
 The doctors of the upper town attribute the fatality to the fact that the deceased waited too long before placing himself under their care. Pneumonia developed almost immediately after he had sought relief and he became so ill that it was impossible to remove him from the hotel to the hospital.
 Harry Owens, Shaw creek miner. who spent the winter in the Fair banks hospital with a broken leg, and who recently returned to the upper town from a stay of several weeks at the Cinema hot springs. also has pneumonia and is very ill today. He had survived so much trouble that he did not regard the flu seriously and put off calling a doctor until he was quite sick. He is also at the Nordale.

RAILWAY WORKERS
 GET PAY ADVANCE

A general advance in the wage Iscale in the Northern division has been announced by the Alaskan En- gineering commission, the advance in pay to commence today in all departments. Hourly men will get a flat advance of 70 cents a day, which will increase the minimum wage from 61A cents an hour to 70 cents an hour. Monthly employees will receive an increase of $2O per month, where the wage does not in clude board. Where board is fur nished, the wages of monthly em- ployes will be raised approximately So per month.
 The advance in wages is accom- panied by an advance in the price of board at commission messhouses from SIPS per day to $1.75 per day, which leaves net advance in wages of 20 per day for hourly men boarding at the messhouses, and $5 per month in the case of monthly men.
 The chief benefit of the wage ad- vance will be derived by married employees taking their meals at home. They will receive the full 70 cents increase per day, or $20 per month, and in the case of hourly men, it will be possible, by working Sun days, to add another dollar to the advance.
 In the case of monthly men whose pay has been advanced recently, En- gineer in Charge Freak D. Browne states that those cases will be taken under special consideration. They may receive the full $2O advance or only part of it, as may be decided by those in authority.
 Another change, which is already in force, is the elimination of the retail department of the commission store, employees now being required to make their purchases in case lots and in unbroken packages. This is in the nature of an experiment, MT. Browne says, and will be continued only so long as the merchants Of the town keep their profits within reason. Should prices be advanced beyond a point considered fair by the commission, the retail depart ment of the commission store will again be opened.
 As will be recalled by readers of The News, the wage scale in the
The Nenana daily news., 1920-05-01

coast division was advanced on April first, the minimum wage for hourly men being advanced 40 cents day and the price of board being ad- vanced from SIPS to $1.5O, leaving a net advance per day of 15 cents. Wages of monthly employees were ad- vanced $10 per month, where the wage did not include board, and $5 per month where board was includ- ed.
 The present advance is the third increase granted by the Alaskan En- gineering commission since the com mencement of work in the Interior Originally board was provided at the rate of $1 per day, and it continued at that rate 1918, when it was ad- vanced to S125. The minimum wage scale was advanced at the same time to 61A cents per hour, at which figure it has remained until the present time. It is estimated that the cost of living has advanced at least 40 percent in Interior Alas ka since 1918, and a further ad- vance of from 20 to 40 cents is ex- pected during the coming summer

NURSES NEEDED ID HELP OUT AT
 NEW HOSPITALS

The steady increase Tn une num- Der of flu patients in Nenana and the illness of several of the nurses who assumed duty when the epi- demic first appeared has created . for additional help, and vol are urged to report for duty either to Health Officer Smith or to General Storekeeper R. S. A number of nurses are needed immediately, and more prob ably will be needed as new cases develop.
 Aside from the shortage of help, the situation today is we'll in hand. the hearty cooperation of the public generally, the health board has been able to give imme- diate attention to all the cases that have developed thus far, and the members are deeply grateful for the ready response to appeals for aid of various kinds. Chairman Diven told The News this afternoon that everything is moving along nicely, and with additional nurses, no diff culty is anticipated in retaining con- trol of the situation. Both Chair man Diven and Health Officer Smith are on the go constantly, looking after details, and they have asked The News to let the public know that they appreciate all that is be- ing done to assist them.
 The Cooney hotel is filled today, the Government hospital ward is filled, Dormitory No. is filled, and patients are now being taken to Nos. and 8, which were taken over by the health board this morning. Dr. Diven reported this noon that there were then a total of 125 patients in town and 30 or more natives at the village above town. There were several additions to the number during the afternoon, and the train arriving from the end of steel tonight will bring seven or more to town for treatment. *... =.
 The great majority of the cases thus far developed are of a very mild type, and in this. connection Dr.. Smith wants it known that cases respond much more readily to treat ment if they are taken in time. De- .ayed treatment almost invariably re- suits in more serious illness. Per sons feeling at all unwell should lose no time in reporting to one of the hospitals for examination. If this course is followed in all cases, the lumber of recoveries will very soon ,vona1 tho na1u
 Dr. Smith reports that number ,f patients already have been dis ,harged. and more would be re- eased but for the fact that they lave no place to go where they can .eceive the attention necessary dur ng the period of convalescence. In Ill cases, where patients are dis ,harged from any of the hospitals, hey should remain in their rooms or several days, being careful to lvoid undue exposure. A relapse night have serious consequences.
 Mrs. Leon Kellum was first among he nurses to be taken i'll, and there Ire now several on the sick list, in- .luding Mrs. M. E. Smith, Mrs Cooney, and Miss MacCrae and Mr. ll-
