which I will try to explain.
 The gentleman from Californ- ia (Mr. Curry), who is chair man of this committee and un- fortunately quite ill and unable to be present, has asked me to take up this bill in his absence and present it to the House, and I am presenting it on his behalf because he is interested in it's passage and has felt that great injustice will be done an en- ployee unless the bill is passed.
 Now, here is the situation as I understand it: The Territory of Alaska, by it's legislature, believ- ing it had the right to do it, em- ployed some of the Government employees there and paid them salary out of the funds of the Territory. That was done in this case, and the court held that under the law they had no right to do it. This man was employed by the Government, and his salary out of the Public Treasury was reduced because the Territory of Alaska was to pay him $2,OOO per year He was only receiving $3,6O0 from the
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-03-15

Government, because that office had been consolidated with the Territorial office
 The court has determined that the Territory of Alaska had no right to consolidate these offices, and this man has served his term, rendered the service, and this bill is for the purpose of paying this man.
 MT. UNDERHILL. Will the gentleman yield?
 MT. DOWELL. Yes.
 MT. UNDERHILL. This has been done repeatedly, and at al most every Private Calendar reading several cases of a simil- ar character are passed by the House without an objection on the part of anyone.
 MT. LaGUARDIA. If the gen. tleman from Massachusetts will permit, not of similar charact- CT
 Mr.. UNDERHILL. We'll, why not?
 MT. IaGUARDIA. I will say that many bills of as little merit pass the House, but not of simil-

ar character.

pay employees of the Govern ment who are drawing one sal ary for services rendered in another capacity, where they have rendered the service, de- Iivered the goods, and the Gov ernment is morally bound to pay them for services rendered.
 MT. LaGUARDIA. Yes; but they do not involve the funda- mental principle of receiving two salaries from two different sources, the Territorial Govern ment and the Federal Govern ment.
 MT. DOWELL. As a matter of fact, the Federal Government received the benefit of this, and this bill is merely to permit the Territory of Alaska to pay what they agreed to pay. As I un- derstand, this mans salary was reduced as a Federal employee.
 MT. CLAGUE. Will the gentle man yield?
 MT. DOWELL. Yes.
 MT. CLAGUE. What was h. leceivine before his salary was reduced?
 MT. DOWELL. I do not know the amount.
 MT. RANKIN. Some one ought to be able to answer that ques- ton
 MT. SUTHERLAND. I am not gre of the exact amount, but t'e salary of the secretary of the Territory of Hawaii is $5 400. Under the system our secretary has been working in Alaska he was receiving $5.6OO, $2OO more Q year. from both the Federal Government and the Territorial Government. I assume when this salary from the Territory is shut off the Secretary of the In- terior will have to raise his sal arv to $5,4OO, or somewhere near 4bo+ +o corrocn0rd with the sal arv of the secretary of Hawaii.

CENENT.ERS
Walk OUT
To TAKE
OTHERS

Union employees on half q
dozen building projects threat
ened to walk out today in
sympathy with the cement
finishers union and threw the
local building industry into
confusion.
Embers of discomfort among the
union men which have been
smouldering for weeks were famed
into a flame when the cement
finishers walked off the job of the
Eears-R oebuck Building under con-
etruction at Fifteenth and III Streets
Northeast and announced that mem.
bers of half e. dozen other unions
were to follow them in few
hours.
Employers Meet
Employers hastily gathered to
lay plans to combat the threatened
trouble and to prevent Its spread
beyond the Sears-Roebuck project.
While they were gathering their
forces, however, 1t was reported
that the union forces had an.
nounced that this afternoon they
would call off all union men enl-
ployed by the Charles III. Tcmpklns
CONSTRUCTION Company.
The Sears. Roebuck Building Is be-
;rg constructed by the Fred Drew
construction Company. and the
walk-out on the northeast job will
affect all employees Of that company,
whether on that or any other JOB.
Two versions of the precipitation
of the labor war were given. The.
employers said the cement ffnishers
went on strike when their demand
for an increase in wages from "
10 SO IA day was refused. The
employees maintained the cement
firishers went out when they found
that common laborers were doing
work which 1t was considered should
be done only by cement finishers.
