Labor Shortage Hits Alaska Rail and Lumber Camps
Employment agencies report a severe labor shortage despite high wages. Railroads in Alaska have drawn nearly all available workers for construction, logging camps, fisheries, and crews. Some laborers head to San Francisco for high wages, while railroads and mills entice with fare advances and fees. Daily wages reach 2.76 dollars for common laborers and 2.50 for pickmen and muckers, yet many workers are sick or unwilling to move from town.
