REPORT DELAYED

Alaska Railway Commission’s j
Report be Delayed Until After
Present Short Session.
Washington, L). C., Jan. II.—
Owiqg to the bulk of data which
they are compelled to digest the
Alaska railway commission’s re
port will be delayed for some time
and probably too late to be sub
mitted nl this session of con
gress.
The commission are now
awaiting the arrival of Henry
Deyo and George Baldwin, civil
engineers, who are familiar with
tht“ proposed railroad routes. It
is more than probable that the
report when made will precipitate
a tight, as the lobby favoring the
Alaska Northern is on the ground
and likewise that favoring the
Guggenheim interests. The line
up is very similar to that of last
winter during the months of
skirmishing, when each of the
factions were trying to get the
appointment of a Irommission
favorable to their interests. It is
likely to make a pretty fight.

COMPANY RECOGNIZE8
MORAL OBLIGATION
Trenton, N. J., Jan. II — The
Public Service corporation of
New Jersey, beginning January
1, established a minimum wage
scale for women and girls in its
employ of «9 a week because an
investigation conducted by the
welfare committee of the corpor
ation disclosed the fact that on a
weekly wage of less there could
be no assurance that a girl or
woman could live in freedom
from the pitfalls and tempta
tions which best'I young women
who are thrown in font act with
the world.
In'announcing the new scale,
President Thomas Ni. McCarter
referred to il as in the nature of
a Christmas gift. He was care
ful to point out, however, that the
move which had inspired the
company to establish this in
creased minimum was not the
: mere, wish to remember the em
ployes at Christinas; il was be
cause the company recognized a
moral obligation, the president
said, to pay not only a living
wage but a decent living wage.
