DECISION REACHED BY WILSON
ON R R WAGE QUESTION
Washington. Feb 13—What fa j
designated as "an unalterable decision
on the record of the railroad wage
increase controversy” was made today
by President Wilson in conference
with the representatives of the rail
road brotherhoods who an- interested
in the wage increase demand, ac
cording to a White House announce
ment. which says the government’s
|H»licy was designated by the president
as one “based .on justice to all inter
ests concerned/’
The president’s decision was not
announced officially. It was stated,
however, that" it is a decision con
taining a proposal". From this and
other intimations of the decision’s
character that have been permitted
to leak out, it is summed up that the
president refused to grant the gen
eral wage increase demanded by the
brotherhoods but made a counter pro
position to the men. The railroad rep
resentatives refused to discuss the con
ference with Mr Wilson and went in
to conference with the brotherhood
heads following the interview.

national merchantile marines for $28,
000,000. He. said the vessels had a

NOME OIL STOCK
NOW ON SALE
In accordance with announcement
made la*t fall befoic hi* depotturr for
the States. .\!r. Samuel Keane, whose
oil drilling operations in the vicinity
ot Hasting Creek have attracted much
attention during the past, has decided
to soil a small quantity of the stock
of his company to local pu&hasers and
has authorised Wm. \Vct>l» to con
trite: for local sales. Mr. Keane In
formed the Nugget last fall that he
would consent to the sale of a small
quantity of stock locally, not as g
menus of raising money, hut as a. tes
timonial of good faith in his project
by ihe residents of the section in
whh h he is working. It is well
known that Mr. Keane has made no
attempt to enlist the interest or as
sistance of people here during the sev
eral years in which he has engaged
in oil drilling. In fact he has at all
times betrayed a strong disinclination
toward attracting attention, preferr
ing. he said. Jo demonstrate the possi

exis one*- of the present management,

that crude oil exists in perceptible
quantities in the Hastings section.
Whether or not it exists in paying
quantities is still to be determined,
but there is no doubt that indications
point to the district us a possible
source of future oil supply.
Mr. Webb received a wire from Mr. i
Keane. Saturday asking him to advise!
by wire regarding the number of i
shares of stock Nome people will take. |
The message was dated at Camden, j
New Jersey, where the headquarters i
of the Keane company are located.
The message said the purchase value j
of the stock will be 50 cents. On re

WEEKLY 1ST CLASS MAILS
NOT GUARANTEED
As sonic- misapprehension exists re
garding the frequency of mail con
signments containing no first claiw
matter from the States the N'ugget
finds it desirable to amplify the ex
planation made in these columns last
week by stating that the government
ann-'uncement last fall regarding the
reduced service in no way intimated
that weekly deliveries of first class
matter form the Outside were gua-inn
teed. The announcement was to the
effei-t that it was expected to provide
weekly deliveries of first class matter
and all jtosslble effort would be made
In that direction.
Owing to the present limited trans
portation service between Seattle and
Southern Alaska points, it would mani
festly be Impracticable for the gov
ernment to guarantee weekly «first
class mails. As things are at present
such results could be accomplished
only by subsidy, or the payment of a
large bonus to the regular carriers.
Postoffic. department announcements
last fall intimated that a proposal of
♦ his character was under consideration,
and might be resorted to in ease it be
came necessary by reason of continued
curtailments of the service maintained
by the common carriers. The gov
ernment is apparently willing to at
any time enter into contracts for mail
transportation at weekly interval* but
finds the transportation companies op
posed to binding themselves to trans
port deliveries at specific times. As
a result of this Refusal on the part of
the regular carriers, the government
is left no alternative but to either
forward the mails when it suits the
transportation companies to take them
or to subsidize a boat at great addi
tional cost. As matters stand at present
the latter is the only means by which
more frequent service may be main
tained. Because of the already ex
cessive cost of the winter mail service
t is plain that the Postoflice depart
ment will hardly adopt the subsidy
H'an, save as a last resort, hence there
U little prospect of improvement un
til the transportation situation is
changed, either for better or worse.
In the view of the Nugget there is
very little prospect that the service
I will be improved to any marked de
gree until aeroplane service is estab
lished. Taking the situation all in all,
it appears that we would be displaying
excellent judgement if we devoted
some of the energy expended in cuss
ing the present service to working for
the early establishment of air service.
Intelligent action in this direction
would, in the opinion of the Nugget,
bring us a really satisfactory mall
service within the year.
