April 27, 1891.
 The people of Film are again on the mend from the recent attack of flu. and chere vas a time when We did not know what was going to be the outcome of the epidemic for the teachers eat down the sec ond day after the school was clos ed. which was on the 9th of April and fir several days they were not able to get out to look after the sick ones and as there was some one or more down in every house it was very necessary to have some one to reD5rt the sick cundl tions to. In few days more than sixty were sick with the flu. and as many as twelve in cabin. It seemed however that Providence guided the situation as there seem ed to be one at least in every fam lily who was able to go to the teach CTS for medicine and sort of care for the rest, SC when the repre- sentat ve of the sick would go to the teachers home. one of them would get up out of bed and wait On them and give them the need ed medicine and then go back to bed again. In this way they receiv ed what care could be given them. Now the teachers are out and vis- iting all the families, many of which are up ant around again,
 One family from Shaktoolik, (Tetpan,) who was returning from the conference held at White Noun tain, took sick cn the way and stopped in Film, and the wife died on April 18th, and there were not people enough well to make the coffin so we had to work slowly it finished, so on Monday the 20th 1.-the teacher wen to the workshop and lined te coffin and got it in readiness for the corpse. When the mail carrier Misha Charles, return he and several others managed to place the body in the coffin. The people here wish to thank Arnold Undem for sending us medicine by the return of the mail, and also the quick action of the Superin- tendent of the s. P. District of native schools of Nome for his prompt action ill getting medicine to us by plane.
 We had very accetable visit from MT. kinsley of the land off ce who had a meeting with the reindeer boys of Film ih regard to the grazing territory. and oth- CT matter pertaining to his work in Alaska. this was on the 18th.
 This is another case here com nrunication systems should be esta- blished. Several died before the .t informa tion could reach Nome we were in need of medicine. Film I is in need Of good landing I field and a radiophone, and hope that both may be obtained ir the near future.

ChIldren'S Bureau Report Is
Fuel for Workers. Fight
on Wage Cuts.

By Soripps-Hoioard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Behind
the threat Of strike against wage
cuts, announced by the Omaha 81
Chicago and Northwestern rail-
roads, for its thousands Of main
tenance-of-way men, are conditions
revealed here today in the annual
report OF the United States chill
dren's bureau.
According to President F. j.
Fljozdal of the Brotherhood of
Maintenance-of-W Way Employees, the
cut can not be accepted by the men.
now working part time and receiv-
ing 40 cents an hour for thr o.
four days week.
The children's bureau report re-
leased today contains the results Of
a survey conducted during the good
times between October, 1923, and
July, 1929. 1t covers $50 typical
families Of maintenance of way
workers In ten states.
Low Standards Cited
"The standards formulated as
necessary for a minimum standard
Of health and decency by the ma
tional industrial conference board
and social service agencies usually
call for an annual income of 81, 400
TO $780," says the childrens bu-
reau report.
None Of the men who had
worked only as section 1aborers
earned as much as is considered a
necessary minimum for a family of
four or five.
In fact, not one earned as much
as 81 $50 as a section laborer during
the year Of the study. Many Of the
laborers earned far less than 81 $50;
tWenty-nine earned less than $500.
100 earned less than $3.50; 212
earned less than $1,000, and only
101 earned as much as $1,000"
Several Go Hungry
The report finds that of 500 fam
lilies whose diet was studied only
81 per cent had satisfactory diets,
203 families had unsatisfactory food
and IA had diet marked Seriously
deficient" A few went hungry.
Housing and clothing were on a
similarly inadequate scale.
In respect to food, clothing and
housing, only AZ of 486 families met
the standards. This is 9 per cent.
The announced wage cuts, called
adjustments" go into effect Jan. l.
They represent special cuts ranging
from 2 per cent to 20 per cent as
applied to the way workers in addi-
ton to the horizontal Is per cent
proposed for all rail- organizations.
The special cuts, announced by
President Fred Sargent of the
Northwestern, reduce section hands
to 38 cents an hour, other section
men to 35 cents. The cuts average
10 per cent, not counting the gen.
eral slash. The two slashes would
reduce section men to less than 30
cents an hour, union officials say.
