SAYS LABOR IS PLENTIFUL IN
 ALASKA TOWNS Continuance of the Hear ings on the 8-HOur
 Law Before the
 Governor.
NATIVE GIVES VIEW s
Declares That There Are Enough Natives to Get Out Logging
 Timber.

In the hearing which was held this morning over the eight-hour law and it's workings, several interesting facts in support of the law were brought out by those present. Her bert Murcheson and Rev Marsden both Natives and residents of Met akatla, appeared and testified as tC conditions in the logging industries and stated that between 300 and 50C trained loggers can be secured among the Natives there, at Hydaburg, and 1t other Native villages along the coast
 "We have over 300 able bodied and experienced loggers, including 3s rained and experienced millwrights lmong our people. In the Kctchikan district and on Annette Island there supply of between eight and en million feet of timber which will )e ideal for cutting airplane lumber rom which can be gotten out by the Natives.
 "At the present time there are four crews in the woods engaged in getting out piles and logs. The young nen of Metlakatla are at the pres ent time willing and ready to enlist or the government to get out logs ,r do anything else required. We lon't need training but are already rained," Mr Murcheson said:
 
 he Third Division, appeared and re- lated conditions in Mccarthy and surrounding sections, including the Mother Lode and the Nizina section. Mr. Murray said in part: The peo- )le of my section of the country believe in the eight-hour law and want it enforced. We specifically leny the right of the Governor, the Council of National Defense and the Secretary of the Interior to set aside )r modify any of the eight-hour laws IS passed and as applied to the un- lerground workers in the mines. We highly favor the eight-hour law pass d by the last Legislature and do lot wish it set aside. At the worst t should only be modified to allow workers to put in overtime and then ,nly in the case of the gravest nec- ,ssity and for the greatest good of he whole country. There is no ,hortage of labor in my section of Alaska, with the possible exception If pOssibly a few skilled mechanics ibove ground
 "The law should not be suspended might be modified as case of necessity, but so far 1 have heard 10 reasons advanced at this hear ng for even that much of conces ion. If modified the order of modi ication should be arbitrarily worded 50 that the present wage scale should continue as the basis of wages for tight hours and that everything over hat time should be classed as over ime and paid for" he said in part Reverend Marsden elaborated or he remarks made by Mir. Murchesor nd bore them out, as did also MT Oliver and others. On account ol he non arrival of the steamer Spo zane until late this afternoon, the rearing was continued until ter o'clock tomorrow morning.

that these lobbyists were very ac- tive. Nothing was said about the law at the time it was under con sideration or at any time until about thirty days before it became effective and then they started in to oppose it.
 Governor Strong said that he heard no protests against the law when it was under consideration or at any time until about thirty days before it became effective and then the pro tests started pouring in He also said that 95 per cent. of the pro- tests were based on real or al legged shortage of labor.
 Senator Hubbard in discussing the law said in part: This law was un- der consideration for two years. The law which provided for the referen. dunn vote stated specifically that it should be a general eight-hour law When this was before the Legisla ture where were the representatives of the railroads and the other con cerns. They did not appear before the members of either House and make any protest The text of the law as proposed and as it passed was commonly known. They did not go before the people to make any protests, either in person or through the press. The Legislature obeyed the mandates of the people and would have not kept faith if they had passed any law but the one they did pass
 In discussing logging conditions it was claimed shown at the hearing that the loggers of Alaska do not pay any higher wages than are paid in the States, that their camps are temporary makeshifts, that the weather conditions are extremely bad, that mud, water, mosquitoes, devil clubs, and brush make logging in Alaska exeremely disagreeable work which makes it hard to pro cure labor. As one man said who has been in the logging business for years: q would rather work eight hour shifts in the Alaska Juneau mill for $350 than work eight hours in the logging woods of Alaska for $10."
