In the sickroom a jolly often doe;*
the work that the doctor sends in a
bill for.
“There is nothing to get excited
over. Operations on the various divir
ions of the government railroad will
continue for the present, until some
thing definite is known about the ex
tra session of Congress. If the extra
session is delayed too long, the gov
ernment railroad will be operated ov
er the various divisions, a few men
will perhaps be dispensed with, but
these men will be those whose cur- .
tailment was necessary as their par
ticular line of work is completed."
The above was the information giv
en to the Editor of the Gateway this
forenoon, over long distance phone,
from William Gerig, Engineer -in
■hr.rpe of the Anchorage division, and
from the headquarters of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, in Alaska.
Mr. Gerig further stated that he
believed that public indignation meet-'
ings should be held in every school in
*ho 1 nited States as a protest to the
German propoganda which caused the
! filibuster in the United States Con
i gross.
P \ssibly Mr. Gerig would like to
have used stronger language, like the
Editor also desires to express his
I thought in plain American cuss words,
of th" LaFollette- Sherman- dozen
fooibusters.
Put , as Mr. Gerig said, there is no
occasion to get over-excited in failure
of the various appropriations to pass.
Tt is unly a question of days, perhaps,
whop an extra session will be called.
The railroad will bo operated but no
big undertakings will result until the
! appropriation has been passed.
i Som<» men will be laid off tem
