BRADLEY TALKS
ON WAGE, HOUR
BILL AT c. OF c.
A. ]. President Says 5-Day
Week Being Considered
Under New Act

While consideration is being given
to a five-day week plan at the
Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com
pany operations here in connection
with the new wage and hour bill
which becomes effective in october,
P. r. Bradley, President of the
company, told the Juneau Chamber
of Commerce at it's weekly luncheon
today in Percy's Cafe, no definite
program has yet been worked out
pending a decision of whether gold
mining companies come under the
act.
1.-The company is now giving con-
sideration to the new wage and
hour bill that is to go into effect
soon," Mr.. Bradley said ut is
necessary that we first determine
whether or not the gold mining
companies come under the act; a
recent decision by Federal Court
in the State of California seems
to indicate that gold mining is not
a part of interstate commerce.. and
would, therefore, not be affected by
the act If the gold mining industry
is deemed to come within the act
then our consideration of the wage
and hour law, insofar as it affects
our operations, is first from the
company's point of view, and Sec
ond from the employees point of
view.
1T is our desire, of course, to
see that the company's profits are
not adversely affected, and it is
also our desire that no action will
become necessary that will adj
versely affect the employees month
ly earnings.
II might point out that there
is a mistaken notion prevailing in
certain quarters to the effect that
the hour and wage act affects the
number of working hours per day,
but such is not the case 1t is
the hours per week that is involved.
Simplest Method
1.-The simplest way to comply with
the act is to put all employees on
five-day week basis, but there are
so many other factors to be con-
sidered that a five-day week plan
is not altogether desirable. 1t is
self evident of course that if a man
works. five days per week at the
existing daily wage his monthly
earnings will be much less than at
present, yet still much higher than
