Eight Hour Law and Placers

The eight hour law is now coming to be the big question. You can hear any thing you want to hear about laws like that. In some respects you can hear more than you want to, but it is hard at times to get the real dope on it. Just to start on, let the opinion of Fair banks paper be given as the subject has now come up there once more. A newspaper man gives an idea of the drift of public thought, one way or the other, and the Fairbanks Citizen says:
 "If the new eight hour for miners is enforced, some of the. operators on the creeks say that they will be forced to shut down, because the pay in most of the ground still unworked is not suffi- cient to provide for them after paying the big wages demanded.
 "This eight4our plan is a serious problem, when applied to placer mines that can be worked only during short seasons. It is only natural and just that workiugmen should be protected from the greed of selfish employers. but if this protection is to result in the stopping of the work altogether, then both the employers aud the employed are certain 10 suffer.
 "rhe law as it now stands promises to do more damage than good for the workingman, for it is a we'll known fact that much of the ground now being worked in this district is low grade, and must lie idle if the expenses of op- eration are increased.
 "It seems that some medium arrange. ments could have been made to meet the demands of both the men and the operators, instead of making law that will almost certainly iniure both It may baye been possible, for instance, for the law to provide the eight-hour plan on mines that produced certain amount of gold in accordance with the work done on them, while on low ground the men could have been given the option of working more than eight hours if they so desired, rather than being forced into idleness."
Douglas Island news., 1915-08-11
Dividing Alaska

The suit that is being brought by the people of tbe First division Go prevent the other three divisions from having any of the forest reserve money appropriated to the territory by con gress for road building, is proving quite couclusively that the territory of Alas ka should be divided.
 When we take into consideration the fact that Alaska covers an area equal to that of one fifth of the United States proper, the impracticability of its being under single local government is quite evident Different sections of the territory have different interests, and the legislation that will help one sec tiou will sometimes hinder another.
 If tue First aud Third divisions are combined into one Territory and the Fourth and Second into another, there will be more of unity of interests. In the First and Third divisions the climatic conditions are much different than in the interior of Alaska. Here the snow falls to moderate depth of seldom more than two feet, while on the southern and southeastern coast it either rains most of the winter or snows 10 a depth of sometimes 15 feet. i This is one of the reasons why road building aud other Improvements there must be different than here.
 The people of the First division com plained that Alaska as whole is taxing the fishing interests of the First div. ision for much of the territorial rev euues.
