 Since that time, the City of Wran- gell has paid off the original S10,000 and S2,O00 of the Territory held bonds, but at the same time have paid in approximately S20,000 in interest to the Territory.

Memorial Asks Congress 10 Have Legislature
 Meet Every Year

Both Houses of the Legislature have passed memorials asking Con- gress to change the date of eonven- ing the Legislature from the second to the fourth Monday in January and asking for an additional 30-day session every even-numbered year.
 Under these requests the Legisla- ture would meet every January, with alternating long and short sessions. The measure for an annual session passed unanimously yesterday in the Senate after Senator LeRroy Sulli- van of Nome declared he believed it would result in a more business like handling of the Territory's af- fairs and the lessening of deficien- cies. The vote on the fourth Monday proposal was five to three. with Sen- ators Norman R. Walker, Victor c. Rivers and c. H. LaBoyteaux oppos- ing. Senator Rivers said the present system was preferable because the Legislature meets concurrently with Conugress and has a better chance to get its memorials in early when they receive better attention at Washington. 4t@a @f

 MT. Flakne explained that the "ac- tive" file as maintained by the Elm ployment Service is quite a reliable barometer of employment conditions, for regular weekly checks are made of the file to clean" it of applicants who have not reported back to the employment office within a reason able length of time. one month. If a card in the active file does not show that the applicant has called within a month it is assumed by the office that such applicant has se- cured employment. left town, or for some other reason is no longer ac lively seeking work; his card is thereupon moved to the inactive" file where it will remain until he again calls at the office. Thus the active file at all times closely in- dicates the number of persons ac- lively in search of jobs.
 The present drop in the active file, Flakne asserted, shows many men being recalled by their former as well as persons secur- ing new jobs. Many, also, have left for the outlying mines and for the gold fields of the Interior Were it not for the annual influx of itiner- ant work seekers at this time, the problem would not, for the present be of major consequence.

OVERTIME PAY DUE PROMPTLY
 IN WAGE ACT
Must Be Cash, Declares Wage and Hour Law
 Administrator

Payments for overtime must be paid in cash and at the time when the employee customarily receives his compensation, Administrator El- mer F. Andrews Of the Wage and Hour Division of the U s. Depart ment of Labor, has announced to clarify the problem
 The act requires" the Adminis- trator said. that the employee re- ceive compensation for overtime at cne and one-half times his regular rate of pay This means money, not time. We have expressed the opin- ion that payment of overtime con- pensation must be made within a reasonable time after it has been earned. Such reasonable time will normally coincide with the pay per iod and, in our opinion, the circum- stances would be most unusual when this is not the case. This interpre-
 ation accords with the practical ne cessities of administration.
 Amendment Proposed
 Any other practice would permit the deferment of payments for over time to such an extent that the plain purpose of the act would be de- feated Under an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards act now being considered by the House Labor Committee. the Administrator would be given authority to approve con stant wage plans by which the de- ferment of payment of overtime would be authorized, mad could be safeguarded and regulated. But un- less Congress grants that authority an employer would not be justified in failing to pay for overtime at the time when the employee customar- fly receives his compensation
 With reference to the general question of time off, the Adminis- trator added that within a given pay period-for example, when an em- ployee is customarily paid fortnight ly or monthly-it is possible that the due an employee for over time earned in one week could be
