(Anchorage News) The Bureau of Labor statistics is currently conduct- ing another “survey” of Alaska living costs for the purpose of determining what, if any, differential in wages shall be paid construction workers coming to Alaska, especially in the Anchorage and Fairbanks areas durng the next two years. An agent of the Department of Labor is already at work in Anchorage. She carries with her a prepared questionnaire, designed to cover the basic questions on cost of living from which the statistics will be com- NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Yourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. piled. . . .

After |ered along with the so-called “statistics.” After a visit to this newspaper office and plying us with the questions we began to wonder just how accurate these surv several of which have been conducted in Alaska in years gone by, may be. B . In one item we happen to know something about, the survey will be 50 per cent wrong. True it is just a small item, but if the law of averages holds, it will be magnified many times before the survey is com- pleetd The item that came to our attention happened to concern the price of newspapers in Anchorage. The particular question concerned the price of one edition of a newspaper and apparently the young lady making the survey had already determined the answer. It was ten cents, wasn't it? she asked. . B i Yes, it was ten cents when pufchased from the | newsboy on the street, but what about the great bulk of the newspapers that are sold in Anchorage for less than 5 cents? The lady had no place on her ques+ tionnaire for this particular bréakdown. So the cos of newspapers in Anchorage and fri'fact all over Alaska goes down as ten cents. Thé Department of Labor did not take into consideration that most of any news- paper’s circulation( with the exception of a few special- zed metropolitan dailies) is by home delivery for | which a monthly charge or weekly charge is made that | is one half or less of the streét sale price. N * . In defense of the 10 .cent street salé méwspaper in f Alaska it might be said here that never in the he century of newspaper publication in “Alaska has paper advanced its price. The sourdough of '98 vaid la dime for his paper, the Alaskans of the bount iful | '30's paid a dime and the construction workers and Federal employes of the hectic '50’s pay a dime for the papers on the streets. This is notwithstanding the fact that personnel costs haye gone up gnd up and that it | costs $110 for a ton of newsprint at Seattle and more than half that much again to get it delivered to the plant in Anchorage. It was not too long ago that this same newsprint was being bought for only $50 a ton. . . . It cannot be denied that the cost of living and | also the scale of living is higher in this section of Alaska than the Pacific Northwest but we‘do wonder {how well the numerous survey have: reflected this increase and what point of accuracy they have on THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA COMMUNITY EVENTS T O DAY At 6:30 pm. — Maundy Thursday supper and ceremony of exti guishing lights.
