TWO DIFFERENT LABOR ACTS

Judging from remarks made at the public meeting Sunday in the Elks Hall there is still confusion in the minds of some over the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act of l939
 The National Labor Relations law, commonly called the Wagner Act because it was sponsored in Congress by Senator Robert Wagner of New York has to do with the relations between employer and employee in industry. It deals with the question of collective bargaining and it is under this law that the vote is being taken Friday among Alaska Juneau employees to determine what labor organization, if any the employees wish to have represent them in dealing with the employers.
 The act affirms the right of employees to full freedom in self organization and in the designation of representatives of their choosing for the pur pose of collective bargaining, and 1t authorizes the National Labor Relations Board set up under the act to administer it. to conduct secret ballots for the determination of employee representatives declaring unlawful these unfair labor practices which abrdge CT deny the right of collective bargaining The act has been a law since 1884 and the National Labor Relations Board established as an independent agency by act of Congress, July 5 1885.
 The Fair Labor Standards Act of l938 commonly known as the wage and hour law. passed as the title reveals at the last session of Congress in the spring of this year It became effective October 4 last and establishes minimum wages and maximum hours in certain industries It is not connected with the Wagner Act although it deals with the same subject-labor
 Briefly, the law is designed to achieve rapidly possible the objective of Congress to fix ceiling of 70 hours on the standard work week, floor of 40 cents hour under wages and the abolition of child labor As Of October 24 1898 it sets minimum hourly wage rate of 25 cents for persons employed in inter- and the production of good for inter- state commerce; and maximum standard work week of A hours with regular pay and overtime rates Of time and one-half the usual rates Three years is required to reach the 40hour week and 40 cents an hour wage

When the Employer Is Caught in the Middle
CPhiladelnhia Record)

The most exasperating kind of labor dispute IS that which two rival unions fight it out while the employer (who may have no animus against either unon) is caught in the middle and do nothing but watch his business go to pot. Under existing regulations of the National Labor Relations Board the employer cannot even go to the board and ask for plant election to certify union the other Only union may appeal to the board.
 This calls for remedy. Friends of labor do their cause no good when they resist efforts to clear up rritations caused by expanding labor movement and make it easier for large-scale attack labors rights to be organized
 We are very glad that the National Labor Rela- tions Board is considering change in its rules which would permit an employer caught in the middle" to apply for a plant election. The Wagner Act itself does not bar appeals by employers it is only rule of the beard which does so. That rule should be changed and the right of an employer to appeal in these particular cases should be written into the act itself
 There should be safeguards Senator Wagner author of the National Labor Relations Act, has called for a careful study of this proposed change but has definitely not closed the door against it. One danger is that employer who has had union in his plant might to the board demanding an election between a union and no union the moment he suspected organization had begun An election at such an early stage might strike out union before it had caught its first wind.
 We would suggest that if an employer had already lldu SlSheu CollIact WlIn unlon, Tor period Ot at least year, and had thereby shown himself no opponent of collective bargaining then he should be permitted to come to the board, in the of jur- isdctional dispute between two unions and ask that che or the other be certified
 Such an employer is entitled to this protection. entitled to know that his labor contracts are sound entitled to know they will be supported. In such case, after union certified public opinion would be powerfully the side of the employer when he made his contract with it.
 Even John Lord OBrian, Senator Wagner's Re- publican opponent in the New York elections called for safeguards and proposed that employer access to the board be limited to this one exceptional class of cases" where employer was clearly willing to sign contract. It to that meeting of the minds between fair labor leaders and fair business leaders is possible this question. The solution should be speedily reached

ALASKA'S POSITION ON REFUGEES

It may be hoped by Alaskans that the sound inter- pretaton of the existing Alaska picture briefly pre- sented by Acting Gov E w Griffin to Congressman Charles A. Buckley of New York in connection with the plan to establish political refugees in the Terri tory will be given full and thorough consideration by those who considering making a home for the persecuted in Alaska
 It should, of coure, be made clear that Alaskans have no prejudces whatsoever against the people who are being considered future residents of the Terri tory In fact, the sympathy of Alaskans is with them But the economic picture as Acting Governor Griffin pointed out cannot be overlooked for the simple son that the very persons who being considered as potential settlers in Alaska being denuded of whatever wealth they may have in their home

land and thus they will be without resources when they leave for whatever country they may go to.
 If they should come to Alaska without resources their lot would be hard one for the Acting Gov ernor said:
 Even though Alaska is a large territory, 90 per- cent of the employment is confined to mining and fishing, both of which seasonal, providing em- ployment for only six months of the year. Present development through lack of capital cannot absorb the influx of unemployed from the States now here and Federal funds required supplement Terri toral funds in development work which is slow Therefore, much would like to help in this distressing situation, cannot how we could add 10 already heavy unemployment problem"
 IL may be that Congress can see its way clear to finance a group of these political refugees in the north but certainly they cannot look to the Territory with its small population and undeveloped resources to do It's matter of cold dollars and cents, re- gardless of what sympathes may be.

The CIO and Housing
(NeW RpDllblic)

(NeW Republic)
 The C1O recently issued pamphlet that may prove of great importance Called "Labor's Program for Better Housing, it tells the trade unions just how to go about obtaining loan from the U s. Housing Authority and how to build housing with it. The union is told how to create local Housing Au- thority how to get loan, and every detail down to management of the property after the houses have been occupied. The fact that CIO has issued this pamphlet, and is also dealing with housing in a regular department in the CIO News are two im- portant straws in the wind.
 It will be interesting to whether the AFL will now wake up to the importance of the question If it did there would be cooperation rather than conflict between the two groups Houses built broadly speaking by AFL men using materials supplied by CIO workers In many localities the two groups are already working together successfully in furthering their common interest: decent homes for working men. at prices they can afford to pay
