Employment Problem In Juneau; CannerieS
 Asked to Hire Locally
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS FEARFUL OF BREADLINE IF INFLUX CONTINUES

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce has initiated a movement to bring local labor supplies to the attention of Southeast Alaska can neries, with a view of undertaking to fill as much of the cannery labor requirements this season as is pos sible, it was made known by Secre- tary G. H. Walmsley.
 Local labor available for cannery work will be listed by the Chamber, and with this information available the canneries will be urged to hire at least a proportion of their crews from this source.
 In order that complete, definite information relative to the local la bor supply will be available, a cen sus will be taken by the Chamber to list the local unemployed Blanks will be left at the Alaskan Hotel and all unemployed are asked to go there and fill out the blank forms.
 In past years canners have often made known their willingness to employ Alaska labor in their opera tions if it existed, but have claimed the local supply was not adequate for their needs. Shortened cannery operations and increased labor sup ply here are pointed to as reasons why this year, at least, the Terri tory may be able to fill part if not all requirements.
 The Chamber has wired Ketchi- kan and other points advising them that there is no source of local em- ployment available for any kind of labor It is hoped this will check any further influx of job-seekers.
 Unemployment is greater in Ju- neau than in many years past at this season and is growing steadily, yet at the same time there are more men employed in local industries than is normally the case, declared the secretary. This situation re- suited form the steady movement of men to this port, looking for employment Most of them are without funds and have no resourc- es for sustenance. If the movement is not checked, he declared. it might be necessary for breadline to be established Empire.

Business Houses Aroused Over Railroad Slash
ALASKANS SPEAK BEFORE SEATTLE CHAMBER OF COM MERGE ON MISTAKEN IDEA OF ECONOMY"

SEATTLE, Feb. 10-The Alaska committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce yesterday passed a motion recommending the same sum for the Alaska Railroad as it re- ceived last year. This is in pro- test of the 50 per cent cut in the appropriation and the raising of rates.
 Carl Strout, superintendent of the Pacific Steamship Company. said Instead of cutting the amount in half it should be doubled. There is a mistaken idea of economy"
 The Alaska committee met with the chamber of commerce commit tee for a conference. Speakers in cluded Frank Foster of Cordova, Ray c. Larson of Anchorage, the Lomen Brothers of Nome, A. L. La throp of Suntrana, and L. V. Ray of Seward All the Alaskans said that there was no truth in the re- port that there would be a direct steamer line from Seattle to An chorage.
 Frank Foster of Cordova said 'The Alaska Railroad is a highway of character which is vital to AL aska In the states where the fed eral government owns most of the land, it pays for most of the cost of the public highways. In Alaska the federal government owns 99 per cent of the real estate, so here, too, it should supply a greater part of the highway. The Alaska railroad is leading toward such a develop ment that the federal government will be taking out of Alaska far more than it will have to invest"
 Judge Schofeld said that the abandonment of the Alaska Rail road would be a violation of a nor al contract with the people fon the development of the Territory. He said that a privately owned rail- road would not be permitted to dis continue its services even if it wish ed to do so.
 L. V. Ray of Seward said that the entrance of the government in railroad operations in Alaska has precluded the investment of private capital in such an enterprise and that the government is now bound to continue its support.

Reduction Of Salmon Pack Planned For Season, Says 0'COnnOr
S. E. ALASKA BANNERS PLAN 25 PER CENT CUT; SOME PLANTS TO REMAIN CLOSED

Southeast Alaska salmon packers plan a reduction of the 1881 pack to 25 per cent below normal. ac- cording to Capt. NJ. J. O'Connor assistant agent of the Bureau of Fisheries who passed through Wran- gell last Saturday on the Queen af- ter a three-months' absence in the States.
 While the number of plants that will operate is yet undetermined Capt. O'Connor said he doubted if 23 of the 35 located in the Pan handle would not operate,as was re- gently reported.
 The packers, due to the big car ry-over from last year, recognize the unwisdom of putting up a full pack and have agreed on a 25 per cent reduction, he said. Several of the larger companies will not oper- ate some of their plants and some of the individual canneries will also remain closed down.
 No information has been given out on prices that will be paid to seiners and independent trapmen for fish this year. It is understood that few of the canneries will use many seine boats and most of the fish probably will be obtained by the canners in their own traps.
 There has been some improve ment in the salmon market in re- cent weeks, Capt. O'Connor was in- formed in Seattle. There has been a larger movement of fish on the wholesale market and prices have ranged from $1,1O to $I25. By cutting the pack of pinks and chums down to about 2,0OO,O0O cas- es this year, the packers are conf dent they will be able to restore the industry to normal by 1882.
