 Pink salmon at Alitak were of un- usually high quality this year, more salmon were brought in than was an- ticipated following the Bureau of Fisheries order requiring 50 per cent escapement at Olga Bay, in or der to permit 350,OOO fish to go up. An arrangement was made by the Alaska Packers and Alitak plant to split the catch of the only two red salmon traps which the government permits at Olga Bay. The expense of maintenance was also divided equally and the companies alternated in lifting the two traps. In addition to these the Alitak concern maintain ed two others.

 There is. no waste at the San Juan Fisheries plant. Salmon taken in the traps are put down in mild cure. Handling of the salmon was greatly facilitated by the new Chink, where last year ten sinners were needed for one line, only six are now needed for the two. The San Juan plant at Saw Mill Bay began in 1918 as a small saltery, with its combined herr ing and saltery industry it is now probably one of the largest plants on Prince William Sound. The plant is under the direct supervision of G. c. Henderson, resident manager for the Seward district
 I. M. Foster, head of the Alitak Packing Co.,, this year added num- Der of improvements to the plant. In order to do away with the usual cannery odors, Mr. Foster has always had his fish house entirely separate from the cannery itself, keeping it at the end of the dock over deep water, and fluming the fish into the

DEFICIT BE OVERCOME IN

SEATTLE, Nov. 19 (P)-Doubling the, present tonnage on the governments Alaska railroad will take it out of the red" Noel Smith, general mana ger of the railroad, told the Mining Club at banquet last night. A big cut in operating costs will be brot about by the replacement of rotting trestles with steel, and earth fills.
 MT. Smith said many of the old trestles were constructed from green timber, often with the bark on, with the result that decay set in shortly afterward. He declared that indus trial conditions along the railroad are improving.
 Falcon Joslin criticised the lack of government support during the early stages of construction, and voiced op- position to the route adopted by the. government.

BRIEF RESUME OF CANNERY, WORK
 TO WESTWARD
CANNERY SURVEY SHOWS CON- SIDERABLE IMPROVEMENTS
 DESPITE LOW PACKS

Despite the poor season which the fishing industry has experienced this year in many parts of Alaska, nu- merous canneries to the Westward have made improvements and addi- tions to their various plants which are of considerable importance. What was formerly only a saltery two years ago at Saw Mill Bay is now an imposing cannery site, due to en- larging of the plant of the San Juan Fishing and Packing Co.
 Last year the company moved it's cannery equipment from Seward and Seattle to Saw Mill Bay, undertaking to make this the center of it's packing industries. The greater part of the buildings are located on dry land, the warehouse is new and modem in it's construction, labor is made easier and much time is saved.
 Another salmon line was added this year, making two in all. Five traps were operated, whereas only two were used last year. Among the new equipment installed was can re- forming plant, an Iron Chink of the new model is also being successfully operated.
 The herring department also has been benefited by new and modern improvements, one of the newest types of elevators having been ln- stalled. An effort was made to take the herring of size sufficien. to pack but this was impossible. The

COAL ACTIVITIES
 BRIEFLY TOLD

The following news letter relative to coal mining activities was received by the Gateway in last evenings mail.
 The letter follows:
 The only news at present available in the coal field is the railroad ex- tension to the Alaska Matanuska Coal property on Moose creek, which will be completed by about Novem- Der 20, this concern has now en route several carloads of lumber, two 125 h.p. boilers, one high speed engine and generator, also consider able tools and other mining equip ment, and will no doubt be in opera tion about the 18th of December. The dormitory at the mine is about com pleted,and a trestle leading from the mine portal to the coal loading sta- tion.
 The Evan-Jones mine is operating continuously, and they are contem- plating the installation of electric haul age. The new work on coal beds re- cent penetrated, and an air-shaft is about completed.
 The Healy River mine is also operating continuously, and they now have plant in which the various sizes are separated This concern is also about to install electric haul age system.
 Some improvements have been made by the Premier Coal Mining company on Moose Creek, such as the installation of 8 ventil~dng fan of larger capacity, and this mine is again operating after work being temporarily suspended owing to high water which had washed out a DOT tion of the Moose Creek Narrow gauge, and which cut off their trans portation facilities.

Postal Workers Win Wage
Increase; Bureaucracy
Routed in Long Contest

Washington. = President Coolidge
has signed the postal workers wage
bill, which raises wages $500 year
dating back to January /. This was
the hardest fight for wage increases
that was ever inaugurated by govern
ment employees, and is defeat for
the bureaucracy of the postoffice de,
partment, which opposed the measure
At the first session of this congress
the increase was approved by an al
most unanimous vote, but was reject
ed by the president on the ground that
there were many applicants for va
cancies, that present rates are COM
parable to similar work in private
employment, and that the bill did not
provide for raising the necessary
revenue.
The veto was upheld in the senate
by the narrow margin of one vote
Every pressure was applied to SEN
ators, and the two-thirds vote was
secured by the president, although the
bill passed the senate with but three
dissenting votes.
In the new bill, just signed by the
president, congress lowered rates for
newspapers, instead of raising rates,
as urged by the postoffice department.
The later insisted that second-class
matter causes an annual deficit Of
$74,00O,000. The newspapers cham
pioned the first wage bill, and the
postal workers claim that the post
office department would drive this
support from them by placing an ex-
traordinary cost on publishers. The
$74,000,000 deficit was also hotly de-
MED by friends of the bill in both
branches of congress.
The law makers refused to join the
question of a living wage with deficits
of the department, many of which can
be traced to the bureaucracy
.'The duty at hand, without any
distortion of issues whatever" said
Congressman Clyde Kelly, who intro
duced both bills in the house, sis to
pass this bill which grants a living
wage to postal workers. Let us do
our duty"
At the eleventh hour the Chamber
Of Commerce of the United States
announced that a referendum of it's
affiliates showed overwhelming oppo-
sition to the bill, but this, too, failed
to affect congress.
The bill increases the cost of parcel
post service. This, and other charges,
will undoubtedly result in the claim
that the postal workers are response
BILE for the additional tax.
The postal workers protested
