FIVE PERCENT 1NGRENSE
EFFECTIVE JANU1RYI
Effective from January 1, 1928, the
five •per'cent increase which the train
men have been battling for, is now in
force on the Alaska Railroad.
The next battle coming up is to
make this increase effective from 1920
T,his increase, it is said, now puts the
trainmen on the same basis of those
in the States but it is also said, con
sidering the difference in cost of liv
ing, the local trainmen are still un
der paid.
News of the trainmens victory was
announced yesterday and was re
ceived with much enjoyment not only
among the railroad boys but by their
Seward friends.

The Grebe
"Colortone”
hushes annoying sounds and al
lows notes of voice and instrument
to reach you in full natural tones
IT enables you to alter to your
taste the quality or timbre of
speech, or music from high, thin
pitch to low, deep, round tones.
This receiver, unlike others, is
not at the mercy of the loud
speaker. The “Colortone” also
helps to subdue to a great degree,
the scratching, hissing, whistling
sounds that are usually the bane
of radio reception.
The "SV* and the 'TTs” are plainly
audible; naturalness of sound replaces
the artificiality which has heretofore in
terfered with radio enjoyment.
Do not miss a demonstration of this great
Grebe innovation.
