AN EXCELLENT JOB FOR ALASKA

of the steamship strike is that contained IN current
news dispatches giving definite indication that the
wage dispute which has been jeopardizing the sea-
sons salmon canning operations is being peaceaby
settled and the industry will operate in the north
as usual
1t means that some $4,000 persons, who might
otherwise have been without employment. will be
back at work this 1t means that the salmon
canneres will be operating at about usual capacity
throughout Alaska. In brief, it means that the
wheels of Alaskas largest industry, which supplies
from 81 to 80 percent of the Territorial TAX
revenue will be turning again and as result the
entire field of industrial activity in the Territory as
well as down the Pacific Coast will be benefited
Every person in Alaska and large number in
Seattle San Francisco and other coast points would
have been seriously affected had the industry closed
down for the season as for weeks was threatened
somber picture would have confronted the Legisla-
which meets next January had its members been
faced with the grim fact that there pack tax

to Alaska.
According to information from the scene of the
controversy in Seattle, agreement has been reached
on the basis that the employees start work at the
best offer" made by the packers, which is under
stood equivalent of the 1886 wage scale and that
during the season a fact-findng commission will
study the problem further with the aim of determin-
ing what additional compensation, up to 10 percent
above the 1887 scale the packers can afford to pay
at the end of the season.
1t appears to be sensible plan, one which ndi-
Gates that intelligent coordnated effort put into
it by the packers the fishermen and the government
officials who called upon to assist in arriving at
a settlement. Originally drafted by Federal Mediator
Joseph Cheney attorney of Yakima Wash. who was
appointed to the task by Labor Secretary Frances
Perkins it carries in its final draft the best combined
efforts of leaders in the industry both packers and
fishermen, and the officials who were called in.
Among those were Alaskas representative Ter
ritoral Senator Norman r. Walker of Ketchikan;
Fisheries Commissioner Frank T. Bell Federal Labor
Conciliator Ernest P Marsh and Seattle Collector of
Customs Saul Haas.
Appointed by Gov John w. Troy only little
more than week ago to represent the Territory when
the deadlock was threatening to paralyze Alaska,
Senator Walker has done valiant service for the people
the Territory since the moment he arrived in Sc
attic in aiding to bring about the settlement One OF
the best informed in the north on fisheries the
Senator able to emphasize to the disco dant fac
tons Just what failure of the salmon industry to oper-
ate for but season means to Alaska. He was
instrumental in bringing about the realization that
the differences must be solved, and that realization
no doubt played important part in the speedy pro-
gress which has made in the last few days toward
reaching an agreement.
Alaskans we believe, can feel fortunate that they
had man of Senator Walkers caliber to go on the
firing line when the need arose. He well as the
other participants in the dispute to be compli-
mented for excellent piece OF work. 1t is one of
the best Jobs ever done for the Territory of Alaska.

June Is CUP)

WASHINGTON, June Is (UP) -
The New Deals loug struggle to
place a ceiling over hours and a
floor under wages neared compe-
ton today after passage of a wages
and hours bill by congress.
The compromise measure--re-
ported after last weeks bitter de-
bate in conference between north
ern and southern congressmen-lay
on President RooseveltS desk. His
signature, expected to be affixed
soon after congress adjourns, will
make it law and, within 100 days,
make effective the provisions for
the first year of it's operation.
Passage of the bill was consid-
cred a major victory for Mr..
Roosevelt and the New Deal.
Under administrative machinery
similar to that employed to admin
lister the National Industrial Re-
covery act, the bill establishes a
goal of a 40 hour work week and a
40 cent per hour minimum wage
for interstate industries with i'm
portant exceptions.
A universal minimum wage of
25 cents will be established for the
first year, to be increased to 80
cents the second year Thereafter,
discretion will lie with the bills
administrator to increase the
wages to 40 cents as soon as ECO
nomically feasible.
Hours will be decreased from "A
hours per week the first year to
AZ hours per week the second year.
Thereafter, an effort will be made
to attain the 40 hour work week
under the same discretion as ap-
piled to wages.
The President is expected to
withhold his signature from the
bill until congress adjourns to-
night, permitting him to make an
appointment to the office of ad-
ministrator during congressional
recess.
The administrator who will be
paid $4,000 year, will have veto
power over wage and hour stand
ards, recommended by boards to
