AL UPS WAGES
 35 CENTS GOES
 ON 6-DAY WEEK
Employees Ac cept New Proposal Which Brings
 Up Wages 85 Cents

A daily increase of 35 cents for every employee and a six-day work week instead of the present seven days has been voluntarily estab- lished by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, it was announced today by L. H. Metzgar, General Superintendent. The proposal was made to the employees, through the Miners Union, which ballotted on it last Sunday.
 MT. Metzgar said he was notified today that the vote was in favor of acceptance The new rate of pay goes into effect as of July l.
 Local Labor Sufficient
 He emphasized that the change in the work week, while furnish ing considerable number of open- ings for new labor, did not war rant any rush of unemployed to this city. The number of en- ployees, he said, will be increased gradually to prevent confusion and there is enough labor, probably, here to fill all needs.
 The increase of 35 cents, added to the 50-cent increase made June l, makes the total wage boost 85 cents per day.
 Terms of Proposal
 The terms of the company's pro- posal, as made public by MT. Metzgar, are as follows:
 ITO conform to the policy of the Administration and more particu- larly with the spirit of the MIRA pending a time when a code may be adopted for the gold mining industry, the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company voluntarily pro- poses to adopt a plan whereby all employees, with the exceptions hereafter noted, will work six days per week instead of seven.
 Effective as of July 1, 1884, wages will be increased further 35 cents per day, which, added to the increase of June 1, makes an increase of 85 cents per day.
 This increase is in accordance with shorter work week and wage adjustments made elsewhere under code agreements.
 Tn the event of a decrease in the price of gold below $27.00 per ounce, or tax being placed on gold produced, the wages paid under this arrangement will be subject to revision.
 "As soon after July 1 as it can reasonably be done, the shifts will be arranged so each employee will work six days per week.
 "In this connection there will be the usual accepted and approved code exemption of power plant hoistmen, bosses, cooks, walters, amalgamators, retreatment operators, watchmen, and any others where the operation must be continuous and it is not prac- tical to arrange for an alternative operator.
 Since it is necessary to run the mill continuously, bulldozing, load ing, and tramming will be carried on seven days per week, and ac- cordingly, arrangements will be made for certain groups of the foregoing men to lay off one day of each week
 Where it is practicable, con- tract, construction and repair work will be carried on only six days per week"

AND R HAVEN IGNORED TODAY BY 6. 0. C.
Capacity Crowd Attends Farewell Luncheon Civ
 en to Them Today

The good wishes of the Chamber of Commerce and predictions that both men will achieve the highest kind of success were voiced for that organization by R. E. Robert son to s. Hellenthal and R. s. Raven who will leave here shortly to make their homes in other places. MT. Hellenthal, recently appointed Federal Judge for the Third Division, will go to Valdez in about ten days, and MT Raven will leave for Marysville, Wash, to become Superintendent of Schools.
 A capacity attendance was pres ent at the farewell luncheon given for them. MT. Robertson com -plimented them on their achieve ments here and praised not only their professional activities but their civic work for the upbuilding of the community.
 Most Important Professions
 He declared he regarded the pro- fessions of teaching and law as the most important of all. Law, he asserted, is the bulwark of all our rights and its practitioners the defenders of those rights. Teach CTS, he added, are privileged to implant in the minds of the young CT generation knowledge of these rights and privileges.
 Both men are fine, high class Americans, good citizens and good members of the Chamber of Com merce. MT. Raven, he declared, as principal of the high school did such excellent work that he was elected as Superintendent upon the resignation of w. K. Keller. Under him the local schools attained the highest standard in their history.
 His acquaintance with MT. Hell lenthal covers a period of 25 years. He has practiced opposite him in many cases and as a co-counsel in a few. We all will miss him and his family. I know he will be an eminent success on the bench" MT. Robertson said.
 Express Their Regret
 Both MT. Hellenthal and MT. Raven voiced their regret at leav- ing and appreciation of the Cham ber's good wishes. His stay here has been the longest in any one place since he began teaching, MT. said. He hesitated long be- fore accepting his new position and took it only because it represented a substantial advancement in his profession.
 He predicted that his successor, A. B. Phillips, will make a fine record" His work in the Wash ington State schools shows him to be well equipped for the work here. In no other community, added MT. Raven, could there be more loyal support to the schools than there is here.
 Lived Here I25 Years
 MT. Hellenthal said he has made his home here for 25 years and his family has been raised here. He came here direct from law school to practice Twenty-fi years and four days after his grad President Roosevelt signed his commission as Federal Judge.
 He expressed deep regret at the community and the many friends of lifetime.
 "The Republicans of this Divi- sion are just as much pleased with your appointment as your Democratic friends are" declared H. R. Shepard. a friend of MT. Hellenthal for a quarter of a cen- tury and prominent Republican.

Tentative Plans Allot Five Vessels for Resump-
 ton of Service
CHARTER PLANS ARE
 BEING CONSIDERED
Col. Ohlson Reaches Seat tie by Airplane from An-
 chorage on Mission

Alaska shipping is sched- uued to move from Tacoma where five vessels will be loaded by union lOngsh0re- men.
 This is according to AssO- ciated Press dispatches re- ceivcd today by The Empire and also private advices re- ceived by R. J. McKanna, local a gent of the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Col. Otto F. Ohlson, Gen. eral Manager of the Alaska Railroad, arrived in Seattle yesterday by plane from An chorage and according to the Associated Press dispatches he is to charter for the Gov ernment all ships necessary to keep A la s k a commerce moving. The Alaska ships at T a c o m a will be prorated among the longshoremen. ... An Associated Press dispatch late this afternoon said Col. Ohlson is opposed to the suggestions that the ships be loaded for Alaska at Tacoma as that is doing nothing toward settling the strike and the costs of transferring goods from Seattle to Tacoma would make the prices too high by the time the goods reach Alaska. He also said the Governments plans for chart ering ships for Alaska are not completed.
 Shipping Saturday
 Agent McKanna's advices are that assurances have been given by the labor leaders that service of the Alaska Steamship Company will be permitted to resume from Tacoma on Saturday. The company plans to sail the Haleakala north from Tacoma at noon Saturday and the Yukon from Tacoma Saturday eve- ming. T am almost positive this program will be followed" said in structions to Agent McKanna from L. w. Baker, Traffic Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Ports of Call
 The Haleakala will make the advertised Southeast Alaska tourist trip calling at Ketchikan, Wran- gell, Sitka and Skagway, then to Juneau southbound.
 The Yukon will make the regu- lar ports of call in Southeast and Alaska.
 Other vessels mentioned in the Associated Press dispatch are not indicated.
 Evelyn Berg to Sail
 This afternoon, R. L. Bernard, agent of the Northwestern Steam ship Company, received a radio gram stating the longshoremen will permit the Evelyn Berg to sail from the Pacific Steamship wharf in Tacoma on July 6. The Evelyn Berg will call at ports on the West Coast, Chatham Straits Sitka and all regular ports of call in Southeast Alaska.

Guinea Pip. as Food

Guinea pigs are fit to eat according
to an authority. 1t Is difficult to ac-
count for the somewhat prevalent no
ton that no rodents are fit for human
food Because of such prejudices. some
people will not eat rabbits or SPUR
rels. and probably many others are
kept from eating such excellent game
as muskrats and prairie dogs. While
guinea pigs are seldom eaten In the
United States. their near relationship
to rabbits and the fact that they are
wholly vegetarian In habit should re-
assure any one who may entertain
doubts about their fitness for the ia
BILE. All the species of wild CAVES are
accounted good game In South Amer
lea. Rock CAVES. especially, are much
hunted In parts OF Brazil Probably
the small size of the domestic species
Is the chief cause for its neglect as
q food animal. yet there are other
highly esteemed game animals that
furnish less meat than a guinea pig.

"Criggle" Apples

The 'griggle tart" still survives In
the villages of the West of England,
but elsewhere 1t Is almost unknown.
1t had Its origin in the old harvest
custom Of farmers opening their apple
orchards to the villagers after the crop
had been gathered. II was the prac.
tice of farmers to leave on the trees
all the small and misformed fruit On
the appointed day for the "griggling,'
as Ii was called. the villagers arrived
with baskets, hooks. sticks. and short
ladders to gather the 'griggte" apples.
In good seasons. when the farmer was
not particular In picking the under.
sized fruit, the villagers went home
with well-flled baskets. and ''grlggle
tarts" were made.
