the bill which really contain the eist of the legislation designed to be accomplished The corresponding sections of the Oregon law include only mills, factories and manufac- turing establishments. That work i'll such employments is often, if not generally, performed under such un- healthfoul conditions as to be prop CT subject of legislative interference is matter of common knowledge, of which the courts take judicial notice and, even in cases of doubt, are inclined to accept the legisla- tive judgment. The Supreme Court of the United States did so in the Oregon case, which was twice ar gued in that court.
 The proposed Act, however, added to the subjects of the Oregon law a large number of employments of an entirely different character, in cluding almost every known occupa ton, ranging from that of logger in the woods to lawyers or doctors clerk. In fact, the bill includes so many different kinds of employment of entirely different classes that it might be open to the objection Of being discriminatory, on account of emitting others.
 In view of the causes that lead up 10 the introduction of this bill, and it's very wide scope, 1 believe there is danger that the courts might say that it is an attempt, in the gui3e of a health and public welfare law, to enact general eight-hour law If the Act is valid, fail to see what employments are omitted from the i bill which would invalidate it if in oluded If the law would be valid as it now stands, the addition of the few remaining employments not in cluded certainly would not invalidate it. In other words, general eight hour law such as passed by the Leg islature of 1917, preceded by a like legislative declaration as to it's in tent and purpose would, in my opin- lOi, olduu dS SoOu ChohSS ci oS'ho upheld by the courts as the bill un- der consideration It would at least not be open to the objection of be- ing discriminatory and denying the equal protection of the laws and thus yiolative of the Fourteenth Amend ment
 If the courts in considering the proposed law should view it as an attempt on the part of the Legisla- ture to enact, under the guise of a health and public welfare Act. a measure regulating the hours of la bor in a large number of kinds of employment which have no such di, rect relation to the public health or welfare as to justify legislative interference, such courts might, and I believe would, decline to consider separately the different classes of work make the subjects of the bill but would view the bill as a whole and, in my opinion, not uphold it.
 believe that the elimination of such subjects as lumber yards, log ging camps, hotels, restaurants, tele- phone establishments, offices, stores and express companies would leave the proposed Act unobjectionable.
 It is my opinion that separate Act would be more appropriate for the regulation of canneries and simi-

ATTORNEY GENERAL CRICSBY
 HOLDS EICHT-HOUR BILL NOT
 VALID AS II STANDS NOW

Dor in certain occupations as being a valid exercise of the police power in protecting the health, safety, good order and well-being of the public or of the individuals engaged in the occupation in question. Likewise, many such laws have been held invalid as being an abuse of the police power and an unwarranted in reference, with the liberty of an in dividual to contract for his services on such terms as he pleases in a lawful occupation
 l shall not burden the Legislature with review of the authorities on this proposition, but it is to be noted that in practically every case the decision rests upon the nature of , he occupation, as to whether the limitation oi the hours of labor there in is reasonably necessary as a pro; teciioa co the general health, safety or general welfare of society, or of the individuals engaged in such oc- -upation when, on account of the | nature of the employment, the em- ployees arc al d disadvantage or not ,tanding on an equal footing with the employers.
 No hours of service law has ever been upheld on the theory that the constitutional right of all persons 0 contract freely is subject to regu- lation at the hands of legislative majority regardless of the character If the employment which is the sub ect of the contract.
 The authors of the proposed law have recognized the principles above stated by incorporating into the bill, in Section 1 thereof, a declaration If the purpose of the law, as fol lows:
 Section 1. That it is the pub lie policy of the Territory of Alaska that no person shall be hired nor permitted to work for wages for longer hours or days of service than is consistent with his or her health and phys icale well being and the ability to promote the general welfare by his or her increasing use fitness as a healthy and intelli- gent citizen. It is hereby de-
 clared that the working of any
 person for more than eight hours
 in one day in any mill, saw
 mill, lumber yard, factory, or
 any manufacturing, mercantile
 or mechanical establishment,
 logging camp, fish cannery, plant
 and other establishment for the
 curing and drying of fish and
 their by-products, and for the
 extraction of fish and whale oils,
 office or store, or any express
 or transportation company or
 telephone company, laundry, ho.
 tel or restaurant is injurious to
 the physical health and well-be-
 ing of such person and tends to
 prevent him or her from acquir-
 ing that degree of intelligence
 that is necessary to make him or
 her a useful and desirable citi-
 zen"

Attorney-General Grigsby, in re bponse to a request from the House Of Representatives for legal opin' ion on the validity of the Dunn Pennington eight-hour law as it stands at the present time, held that the law is not valid. He sug- gests several amendments, or separ- ate bills covering different subjects treated by the proposed act. His opinion in full follows:
 Juneau, Alaska, April s, 1919. MT. James J. Began, Chairman Com
 mittee on Labor, Capital and I'm
 migration;
 MT. John w. Dunn, Chairman Com
 mittee on Judiciary and Federal
 Relations;
 House Of Representatives,
 Juneau, Aiasla Dear Sirs:
 have your communication of April 7th, 1919 submitting to me House Bill No. 1, entitled, A Bill for al Act entitled 'An Act to establish an eight-hour day and limiting the hours of all employees, etc." ana roquesting my opinion as to the Va idity of the proposed law.
 It is pr0yd ded by Section ? of the bill that no person shall be employed in any mill sawmill. lumber yard factory or any manufacturing, mer cantile or mechanical establishment logging camp, fish cannery, plant and other establishment for the cur ing and drying of fish and their by products and for the extraction oI fish and whale oils, office or store or any express or transportation company in this Territory more thar eight hours in any calendar day except watchmen and employees when engaged in making necessary repairs, or in case of emergency where life and property is in immi nent danger; Provided, however that employees may work overtime conditioned that payment be. made for such overtime at the rate oi time and one-half the regular wage
 The question presented depends upon whether or not the enactment Of the proposed law would be valid exercise of the police power of the Territory or would be violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which provides that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty. or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within it's jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
 It has been repeatedly held that unlawful interference with the right to contract or to buy and sell labor is . deprivation of liberty and prop erty within the meaning of this con stitutional amendment. The right to contract is. however. subject to ths valid exercise of the police pow CTS of the State.
 The police power of a state has been judicially defined as "the in herent power of the states to care for the lives, health and well-ebing of their citizens"
 Numerous decisions of both state and federal courts have upheld laws or restricting hours of Ia

similar legislative declaration in all Oregon statute which limited the hours of labor in mills, factories and manufacturing establishments, the Supreme Court of the United States said:
 Mere declaration cannot give
 character to a law nor turn il-
 legal operation and when such
 attempt is palpable, this Court
 necessarily has the power of
 review"
 Bunting V. Oregon, 243, U. s. 426
 Other decisions of the United States Supreme Court announce the principle that the court is not bound by the legislative declaration of the purpose of an Act but may look into the body of the Act to ascertain it's real purpose.
 In Bunting V. Oregon, above cited the court held, in effect, that it would not assume that the Legisia ture of Oregon was attempting to disguise it's real purpose in pass ing the Act limiting the hours of labor in mills, factories and manu featuring establishments in the ab. sence of anything before the Court contradicting the avowed purpose Of the Legislature as expressed in the legislative declaration
 The Oregon law limited the hours of labor to ten hours in a single the rate of time and one-half for overtime, as does the bill under coii- sideration. Also, the legislative dee laration of the purpose of the Oregon Act was in almost the identical Ian guage used in House Bill No. l. In the Oregon case, the Supreme Court upheld the law limiting the hours of labor to ten hours in a single day in mills, factories and manufacturing establishments. The decision is not based upon anything contained in ;he legislative preamble. nor did the court hold that the overtime clause added anything to the validity of the Act. In fact, the principal ground of attack made upon the Oregon law was the overtime provision, it being claimed that such provision rendered the law a wage law instead of an hours of service law. The court held that the exaction of time and one half pay for overtime was in the nature of penalty to induce com. pliance with the main features of the Act and therefore did not vitiate it
 The validity of House Bill No is not affected either by the declara- tion of legislative purpose in Section of the bill or by the overtime clause contained in Section 2. Stripped of these provisions, there is nothing left to consider but the proposition whether the Legislature can limit the hours of labor in the mentioned in the exer- else of their police power
 From this standpoint, the court would necessarily be compelled to consider each industry mentioned as  a separate proposition. taking into all matters of common and available facts and statistics dealing with the effects of overtime upon the physical and moral health of the worker and SC upon the vitality. efficiency and pros perity of the Nation"
 Every presumption would be in- lulged in favor of the validity of he bill. it being an established rule or the court not to interfere with he legislative judgment on such mat CTS except where the police powers f the State have plainly been abused | the proposed Act from his standpoint. there is no doubt !
