HALF FAHt ASKED
FOR ALL FARM
LABORERS
Washington, May 21.—The De
partment of Labor, after oonsulta
tiou with the Department of Agri
✓
culture, has asked' the Director
General of Railroads to grant half
fares to agricultural workers mo
bilized for dlstibution by; the United
States Employment Service, with
the cooperation ofgthe latter de
partment's field force. Only thru
cheaper transportation, it is be
lieved, can the "farmers of the
eouotiy be supplied with the maxi
mum labor available for agriculture.
It is estimated that wilill^ the
proposr-d fare reduction might
cost the railroads about $1,600,
000, or 10 times that sum, through
the freight returns on the addi
tional foodstuffs produced by
these <-xtra farm workers.
At least 80 per cent of the stu
li-eints i» the men's colleges and
universities of the country "will
engage in farm or other war pro
duction work duing the coming
summer vacation Period. This is
Indicater in the replies being re
ceived by the Department to its
plau for placing college students on
farms. At Dartmouth, for instance,
only 8 out of 800 students queried
stated that they would not be in
some productive service this sum
mer.
Writing to Wm. Casey from the
Kautishna, J. C. Van Orsdel, who
located there last summer, says
tie Fairbanks Citizen, is very op
timistic regarding' the outlook "or
the camp's future. In part ne
says:
"We hare been out here now al
most six months, and, while we have
net gotten & great deal done, we
feel mightily encouraged. We have
a great campaign mapped out for
'his summer, and we feel sure that
wo will have a full report in what
we have here before the freazeup
nest fail. This is certainly a very
rich country, and we feel that It
will surely come into its own vary
•hcrtly. Of course, it is Impossible
to operate and work this ground
successfully until we get provisions
and1 supplies iin at a cheaper figure.
The cost of prlnging in supplies by
the river is out of reason, and we
must work to get a wagon. road
from the railroad, a distance of
same sixty miles. Wre hope you
.people there in Nenana are all
agitating tho matter. We have had
word from Washington, that they
had established a post office here
and appointed me as postmaster,
hut as yet we have no carrier ser
vice, and of course that is really
the most important part o£ all.
The post office means nothing with
out service, and" when they com
mence getting bids for carrying the
mail—I am sure the government
will never stand for it, under the
present conditions. So the only
thing for us to do is to work and
work hard for tho wagon road- from
Lignite, then by fall we may hope
for a mail route.
"We feel that our chance to put
a hig thing through is in this Kan
tishna country, and we expect to
stay with this propositon until the
last. We are sure there is a for
tune in this country for us, and we
aie working to that end.
