STRIKE ABOARD ODUNA SETTLED
 AFTER TIE-Up
Air Base Equipment Un. loaded Before Valdez
 Strike Started

VALDEZ, Alaska, July Is. - The strike aboard the freighter Oduna was settled at 3 o'clock yesterday with the jurisdiction of hiring dock workers placed in the hands of the mates of the ship.
 The mates and the captain of the vessel stood pat on their decision and the ship was tied up for over 40 hours loaded with government equipment and dynamite for air base construction at Nabesna and Boundary. Base workers threatened to remove the machinery if the sea- men didn't, so the big caterpillar tractors and carry-alls were unload ed and started over the Richardson Highway for Nabesna before the strike was called.
 A time limit and a short working season made the receipt of the machinery and equipment by Nor rison and Knudsen vital. Major B. B. Talley of Elmendorf Field who is in charge of airbase construction in the Territory flew into Valdez early yesterday afternoon on small boat harbor business. When he learned of the strike he interviewed the captain of the Oduna immed- lately.
 The frieighter sailed at 2 o'clock last night.

Standardized Wages
In War Suggested
|nF|ening's 'sReport
Arguments for Longer
Work Week Strongly
Opposed as Unwise

The United States cannot enter
thought to the need for standardiz-
ing wages, both to protect workers
and to promote the efficient use Of
their time" Col. Philip B. Fleming
wage-hour administrator, declared
in his annual report to Congress
yesterday. Strongly opposed to a
longer standard work week, he en-
phasized the importance of labor
relations in the defense program.
Taking sharp issue with those who
contend that the 40-hour law de-
feated France, and that the United
States cannot rearm quickly without
eliminating all hours limits, Col
Fleming declared that the expert
ence of the United States in the
World War and of Great Britain
then and now has demonstrated
''that beyond an ascertainable op-
timum, production declines as the
work week lengthens."
The frequently repeated state
ment that the French 40-hour week
contributed to the defeat of France
by bringing about curtailment of
production is subject to correction
in the light of history" the report
said. THE act was fully in effect
but short time, liberal provision
was made for the exemption of de-
fense industries, and even general
exemptions were permitted many
months before the outbreak of war
in September, 1889"
Necessary notifications of the
wage and hour law ito provide for
optimum efficiency in defense indus
tries in the scheduling of weekly
hours" are now being studied, the
report revealed. If necessary. ap-
propriate recommendations will be
made to Congress. The report,
however, carried no recommended
tions.
During the calendar year 1910, the
Wage and Hour Division made 28,795
inspections, and secured for en-
ployes the restitution of S5,252 ,73l.
Restitution payments are now total
ing more than 100000 a month.
The report estimated that the 30
cent general minimum and wage
orders establishing 3212 to 40 cent
minima have increased pay rolls in
low wage industries by more than
500. 900 900 annually. No estimate
is made of pay roll increases due to
payment of time and half for
overtime.

Federal Income
Tax Man To Be
Here March So

PHOENIX, Feb. 28-W.P. Stuart
Collector of Internal Revenue, dis
trict of Arizona, announced today
that Chief Field Deputy J. A.. Sis
son would be in Nogales from March
5 to March 8, inclusive, for the
purpose of assisting federal income
taxpayers in preparing and filing
their returns for the year 1910.
Deputy SiSson will be located at
the city hall on the above dates.
Collector Stuart suggested that
all taxpayers should famiharize
themselves with the filing require
ments of the revenue bill passed by
the last congress, and made appli-
cable the calendar year 1910.
All married persons having
joint or total gross income Of
100000, or more, and all single
persons, Cor married persons not
living with husband or .wife) hav-
ing a gross income of 100000 or
more, will be required to file income
tax returns, for 1910. This change
in Ethe law, which, dtastically lowers
the. personal exc lption of both
and single persons, will
greatly increase the number of in
dividuals who are required to file
returns.
The assistance given taxpayers
by deputy collectors is for their
convenience and there is no charge
made by the government for the
service.
