Unemployment Compen'
 sation Direetor Urges Prompt Payment

Employers subject for conTiou- tions under the Alaska Unemploy- ment Compensation Law were re- minded today by Walter P. Sharpe. Director of the Alaska Unemploy- ment Compensation Commission, that payment of fourth quarter ana all 1889 delinquent contributions before the deadline January al l940, will save them many, dollars and preclude the unpleasant penalty of paying double taxation.
 "The Federal Government im- poses uniform payroll tax on all employers of eight or more work ers, said Sharpe. This excise tax in 1889 was 3 per cent. However since Alaska has an unemployment compensation act, each subject em- ployer under the Territorial law may deduct from this tax up to 90 percent of its amount, his own con- tributiorls to the Alaska unemploy- mert compensate trust fund.

BRISTOL BAY REGULATIONS
 ARE PRAISED
Anchorage Man Says lekes Gave Alaska Just What
 Residents Wanted

Fisheries regulations issued re- gently by. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes are, so far as Bristol Bay is concerned, exactly what the people of Westward Alaska desired, according to Vernon Hilliker, who passed through Juneau yesterday on the steamer Alaska.
 Hilliker is returning to Anchorage after trip to Washington during which he saw Secretary Ickes and presented the case of the resident fishermen of Bristol Bay. ,Hilliker was chosen by fishermen of Anchor age, Kodiak and Bristal Bay to seek consideration for residents in the l940 regulations, he said
 "The Bristol Bay regulations are just exactly what we asked for" he said
 The regulations provide that in- stead of the 1900 boats and 2,67o fishermen normally operating in Bristol Bay, there shall in l940 be only 78O boats and l,560 men. As i preference is given Alaska residents 1900 of whom are expected to fish this will leave room in Bristol Bay for only about 360 fishermen from 1 Outside.
 i Hilliker was accompanied by R. E. Baumgartner Seward attorney.

tenths of one per cent to the Fed eral Government.
 Must Be Certified
 Employers will realizey the nee. essity for the prompt payment oi their 1889 contributions when they know that before they can takt credit on their Federal tax for the amount they have paid to the Ter ritorial fund, the Territorial Di. vision must certify to the Fedora, Government the exact amount ol their payments"
 To take advantage of the maxi mum Federal credit allowance em- ployers must have contributions fol the fourth quarter and previous quarters in the mail and bearing postmark before midnight, Jan- uary 31, 1940.
 Sharpe said he is anxious that this double tax shall not be imposed upon any Alaska employers.
 All employers reported as cov- cred by the Alaska law have beer provided with forms on which to make their fourth quarter contri- button reports as well as quarterly reports of wages earned by work CTS in their employ. Contributions to the Alaska unemployment trust fund are computed on wages pay able when earned by the worker and not when actually paid to the. work
