EMPLOYING FOR
INLET DIVISION
Indiscriminate Hiring Of
Men Last Year Not
To He Repeated
An oilier from Captain Mears at
Anchorage, concerning the employ
ment of men on interior divisions, has
been issued to prevent difficulties
similar to those occurring last year.
The order says:
“Misunderstanding arose last sea
son due to the action on the part oi
some of the department heads in at
tempting to make special and person
al arrangements for hiring new em
ployees in the Tinted States to come
to Anchorage at the opening of navi
gation.
“With a desire to avoid any of these
difficulties this season, it is announced
that all arrangements for the employ
ment of persons in the L nited States
will be made by this office. All de
partment and district heads will
avoid, as far as possible, direct cor
respondence with persons in the 1’nit
ed States in reference to employment
on the Alaska rail mad work. All
communications of such nature should
he addressed through this office,
where they will be handled in turn
through the newly established em
ployment office in Seattle.'*
All aplications for work here are
handled by the engineer in charge of
this division. R. J. Weir.
