statement, that ..... worked for you an Commission work, however, is mistaken statement, as there was no Commission work connected with any work that you were doing, or that MT. ......-.....- was doing for you, and as you know, the written contract of the Commission with you, No. 713, dated Nov. II, 1918, and supplements thereto, was that the Commission agreed to buy lum- Der from you at a certain price per NJ. *"
 This statement is also-at some length-is signed by MT. Browne. MT. Browne refused to pay us any thing at all.
 When we awoke to the fact that we were being beaten out of our wages. we employed an attorney to look into the matter, and he inn mediately took the matter up with Mir. Mears at Anchorage. In wire he stated, briefly, the conditions as above referred to and asked for consideration for the men, stating that, while the laws of Alaska per mitted the men to lien the product of their labor, he had sufficient con fidence in the integrity and honor of the officers of the A. E. C. and had advised against lien and ac- cordingly wrote Mir. Mears a full statement of the facts connected with the case, and received a wire to the effect that he was sending MT. Barndollar with full authority to settle these claims, and accord ingly MT. Barndollar arrived here to settle?
 Our attorney and Mr Barndollar conferred, referred, and then de- ferred. The attorney went home iand Barndollar INFERRED that we might get some of the money some way sometime, and, by kraut, we did.
 The above statement signed by MT. Browne, that we were not em- ployed by the Commission, and were not doing Commission work. we nol MT Banks, was somewhat modified by subsequent acts; as MT. Howell from whom the sawmill was pur- lchased, was paid in full; Mr. Palmer who transported the mill from Stan, dard creek to it's present location was also paid, and the cook who cooked for the men operating the mill was paid, so we are informed each month by check; and now wet your whistle, Mir. Banks, instead oi being defunct contractor, and be ing treated as such, was paid the sum of SITS per month for tn, period of this contract on which we were employed, and is now workine for the Commission, as foreman ol this same mill, for the same salary and received and now has, or had a receipt from this same Commis sion that owed nobody, no time, fo! $9,000, or whereabouts, and has now or had few days ago, the sun of $500 to his credit, which he re fused to accept until the men were Ipaid. The Commission, of course received the full amount of it's bil
 for commissaries, for, as the mat ter stands, MT. Banks had nothine to do with the contract, as he Wa. working for a salary, and received a salary; but the men, the ones wht
 built the mill, cut the trails, GU the timber, drove the logs dowr Goldstream, wading water to thu waist, built the bunkhouse, mess house, stable, hayshed. cabins camps, and swamped out Goldstrean for distance of 25 miles, were not performing this work for tn, Commission, and were only entitled Ito about 60 cents-on the dollar nro

numerous ways open for settlement When we met with Mir Browne last fall, We offered to accept a portion iof our wages and return to the work and cut logs for the mill all winter, in order to furnish the Com mission with lumber, which we knew it needed badly, and were told by Mr. Browne that the time had passed, that he did not need any Der would be badly needed in the near future, and the outside pur- chases of lumber verify this asser- tion; but after the arrival of Barn dollar this some proposition was of fered in a modified form; the Com mission offered to sign us on and guarantee our pay, but the time had passed for this also.
 1 Numerous proposition were made us from time to time, none of then. being with apparent recompense for our past labor, but no agreement was arrived at. At one time there were not sufficient funds available here to liquidate these claims (so rumor said), at another they were going to start the mill on sort of cooperative system; but none of these schemes said loud word about a mint; but the facts are that we were paid small portion of our wages, we who did the work, and ] the defunct contractor was rolled in a salary to cover all ills of his lonely conscience, and the Commis- sion is preparing to operate the mill this summer-as the urgent need for lumber has probably arrived and we are permitted, by gooi grace, to retain our good health, and now we are permitting the peo- ,ple of Nenana to judge what is just and what is unjust, and whose tracks were being covered.

COMMUNICATION.
. Sss.sssssxHs1 '
Nenana, March l, 1920

Editor Nenana Daily News.
 Sir: We desire to announce what we term an injustice to the labor ing man and see if such an act will be commended by the public, or whether it will be one of those ''I TOLD YOU so" things that so often pass to the credit of those in power and permit the laboring man to suffer on.
 ; The undersigned laborers with others-accepted position with C. N. Banks at stipulated salary, to com plete a contract for the Alaskan Engineering commission, in an effort to furnish that branch of the Gov ernment with certain amount of lumber, ties, and other material as set forth in contract No. 713, and two supplemental agreements of later date, and we continued to per form our agreements under stated salary-or rather the promise of ,salary-unail the freezeup compelled us to cease operations, about Oc- tober 4, 1919.
 During the time we were working on this contract, we became uneasy about our wages, as we could easily see that the mode under which the work was being carried on would not earn sufficient revenue to pay us, and we accordingly appointed the woods foreman, MT. J. Lytle. and the sawmill foreman, MT. c. O'Flannagan, 10 come to Nenana and interview MT. Browne, the en- gineer in charge, to see if any ar engagements could be made to as sure us of at least part of our pay, as many of us were not finan- cially qualified to subsist through the winter without an assurance of either employment or some money, and if there was no assurance ot wages, we intended to seek employ ment elsewhere in order to get money enough for the winter, as some of us were men with families
 When these two men accosted MT. Browne, who was then in the hospital in Nenana, he informed them Che took it upon himself tc go ahead with this proposition, that it was not compulsory upon him to deduct the commissary charges first on this special contract, that he could deduct one thousand dollars or as little as ninety dollars, as the investment was permanent one ana WOUlu De SoOu LOT several year and could not be expected to pay out in one year; that the men would be paid at least a percentage ot wages based on amount of manu factured material on hand at the freezeup, but that if any man fol urgent reasons wanted all his money he would pay him all; that he fin anced this business so far and was going through with it and would be getting out logs all winter ant would run a sidetrack in there, anc if any balance of wages remained unpaid this fall they would receive same next spring; that the mer could do no better than by sticking to this contract" The foregoin. between quotations was sworn tt and the affidavit is now in our pos session, and was acknowledged by a notary public on Nov. 3, 1919.
 We, accordingly, resumed opera tions, or, rather continued work un til the freezeup and came into Ne mana and tried to effect settle. ment of some kind, in order to gel some money for the winter, and after much quibbling and Mir iBrowne's denial of making the above sworn-to assertions, we each re ceived the following letter, dated Nov. IA, 1919:

CaruSo'S Samson
Heard Again . at
The Metropolitan
Nine. Matzenauer the Dalila
of the Cast in a Worthy
Performance.

Samson ct Dalila," opera by Camille
Saint-saens. slept a long and peaceful
sleep till Enrico Caruso decided that the
strong man of Israel would benefit by
the galvanic force of his art. What he
achieved in restoring the lost vitality Of
the work is already a matter OF history.
The opera has taken a permanent place
in the repertory of the Metropolitan
opera House and will doubtless be heard
as long as Mr.. Caruso remains to inn
personate the long haired victim of IN
fauation.
The opera had it's first hearing of the
season last evening. The performance
suggested nothing demanding special
comment. Mr.. Carusos Samson has
been described often. The impersona-
tion Is the product OF study and artistic
sincerity. IL IL does not reach the level
of the tenor's other Hebrew delineation
il Is because the character cannoebe so
elevated. Samson was a weak brother
and quite lacking in the heroic and ele-
mental traits of EleastT A greater
actor than Mr. Caruso might perhaps
irnpart a fictitious value TO the role.
ut Is unlikely that any other singer
would make the music more interesting.
Nine. Matzenauer was the DGHl0.
Probably the Jewish Hercules would not
have succumbod TO a delicately fash
toned Omphale. He needed majestic
parsonage to excite his imagination,
and Nine Matzenauer presents such a
figure as Ddhld She sings the music
admirably. Mr.. de duca and Mr..
Rothler the other two principals in the
performance rounded out q well ball

The spectacular features were as in
