BUSINESS AS USUAL

This year in other years the Salvation Army is carrying on its war on hunger and misery, lone- illness and fear, In cities where military stations have been set up in hurry, where no forms of recreation for service men yet have been established the Salvation Army has been doing bang-up job in solving the problem temporarily. sr
 It is operating in 97 countries and colonies in combat zones and countless communites-yes, and in Alaska, too. Whatever aid the American people can give to this agency-in contributions of funds magazines, clothes. anything else-will be going to an especially good cause this year.

SLOW WORK IN ALASKA

In regard to our present lack ui Alaskan bases, here is some un- written history which is signifi- cant. In March, 194O, the House military subcommittee on Ap- propriations killed a War Depart ment appropriation of $14,O0O,0OC for a certain base in Alaska.
 When Governor Gruening of AL iska, who was then. in Washing ten. read about it next morning, he hit the ceiling. With General Mar shall he hot footed it to the Capi tol, almost got down on their knees to Representatives Ross Collins of Mississippi, Lane Powers of New Jersey, Francis Case of South Da- kota, and J. Buell. Snyder of Penn sylvania.
 But the Congressmen were adam ant The Alaskan base was too expensive.
 A month later, however, Hitler overran Norway and the base was put back into the bill
 Later that summer, the Cover nor of Alaska had the ronic plea sure of welcoming this same sub committee on a tour of inspection of the base which they had re- jected in March. They stayed 24 hours. Congressman Snyder had his picture taken driving a nail and the base was started.
 Note: It is going to take several bases, and steady stream of planes flying to Alaska before we arc

 This is not an important day in planetary government, but ben efic aspect rules. Women are un- der an adverse sway and should be careful of health. .s.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration girls may be rest less and dissatisfied for there will be much humdrum work and little recreation for many. Warning is given that self-deception that en- courages a high appraisal Of ones talents may be prevalent among young women. This is favorable date for seeking positions and for signing contracts, time to avoid over confidence or egotism. Good news may be expected under this direction of the stars. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As the full extent of the demand upon the United States for materials needed by the Allies is realized there will be tremendous production in every line of war machinery. More mil lions of workers will draw wages from the Government and there will be a continuance of general prosperity. Gradually trade will feel the good effects of rising ef- ficiency among directors of the gi- gantic industry made necessary by war. Heavy losses of ships and supplies may be expected before the end of the month. Storms will add to ocean hazards. 19
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Rumors will multiply through the aid of fifth columnists who will use careless words utter by British and Amerl- cans in efforts to estrange the two principals in the Allied nations. Again astrologers warn legislators here and in London to be cautious in their discussions of possible weaknesses or mistakes. The seers again prophecy that men in high place will betray the nation. For eign diplomats belonging to enemy nations will be revealed as agents who have woven net of treachery in months when they were immune 1 from investigation
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." s: Magnitude of the task of winning l the war will be more keenly re- alized as this month closes. The seers fore-tell that there will be more severe criticism of heads of big business who have not managed public needs with the efficiency manifested when private profits were at stake. Through coming weeks the awakening to the real peril of the United States will spur effort. Revelations of waste, large profits, and lack of united effort will arouse taxpayers. The stars presage more than two years of supreme naval, army and air forca activity that will test to the utmost the resources of the nation.

Patriotic colors of red, white and
blue were used as the decorative
scheme at the public luncheon
given yesterday between the hours
of 1870 and l o'clock by the Mar
tina Society of the Northern Light
Presbyterian Church in the Church
basement The tables had long
streamers of crepe paper in red,
white and blue down the center
and red glasses containing small
American flags and bowls of pussy
willows alternating.
There was a large attendance at
the luncheon and many expressed
the hope that the luncheon would
be repeated. Members of the Mar
tina Society were well pleased with
the patronage the affair received.
1t has been decided by the or
ganization to hold rummage sale
during the early part of March.
The definite date will be announced
well in advance SO that people
wishing to assist will have ample
notice.

now seasonally closed will not plan
to resume operations, the Associa-
ton urges: (a) That the Admins
traitor give immediate consideration
to. the conditions to which atten-
ton is directed and that under
powers granted him in the Act
he adopt and promulgate interpre-
tations affording necessary relief
to the industry and that the Asso-
citation be notified of change of
policy by the department in adj
ministering the Act as the same
affects Alaska mine operators. (b)
That the Congress take early action
to correct a situation developed by
the attempt on the part of rep
resentatives of the Administrator
under the g,lise of strict interpre-
tation of the Act to threaten dis
location of the industry and that
Congress promptly re-affirm by
amendment the intent of the Fair
Labor Standards Act" and more
exactly define section ? thereof
entitled Findings and Declaration
of Policy to the end that unreason-
able construction of certain section
of the Act by representatives Of
the Administrator be modified so as
to accord with conditions in this
Territory. tc) That joint COM
mittee be appointed by the Con-
gress with powers to hold hearings,
investigate and report upon the
results upon the administration of
this Act up to the present and to
propose such remedies for abuses
and inequities as NAV appea
proper in the light of the evidence.
I'D That the Congress take APP
propriate action to suspend for the
period of the war interference by
the Wage and Hour Division with
continued operations by the Alaska
mine operators, because such inter-
ference under threat of penalties
has caused a situation whereby
many outposts important to defense
will not be manned and many fac
ilities for defense will be abandoned
In this connection the Congress
should know that quick and de-
eisive action is necessary as tax
burdens and other Inconvenience
of operation, bearable since nec-
essary, should not be augmented by
extra burdens now unreasonably
imposed by the Wage and Hour Adj
ministration. Mine operators must
make an early decision to con-
tifiue or not to continue and new
burdens of defense will fall upon
the armed forces in the event that
operations in the Territory of AL
aska are discontinued or heavily
curtailed.

the peculiar conditions which pre-
vail in the Territory such as great
variations in the cost of these items
and great difficulty in currently
computing their cost. while paying
cash wages anG overtime greatly IN
excess of the minimums required
in the Act, have omitted cost of
board, lodging and other facilities
in the computations of overtime,
this method being concurred in by
early representatives of the de-
partment. Now it is insisted that
wages must be recomputed to in
clude board, lodging and other
facilities and that overtime must
be calculated and paid and restitu-
tons made C ording ly under
threat of heavy penalties unless
this order is concurred in by the
operatorsi
The Alaska mine operators be-
lieve that the rulings of represen-
tatives Of the Administrator in this
regard are contrary to the intent
of the section referred to and have
consistently regarded this section
as an appropriate provision to pre-
vent INSCRIPTIONS employers from
offsetting excessive charges for
such board, lodging and other fac
ilities against the minimums made
mandatory by the Act and that
any other Interpretation would
have the effect of increasing wages
beyond the minimums elsewhere
provided and would be detrimental
to workers in the industry generally
by placing penalties upon an en-
ployer who wished to provide costly
and exceptional facilities to his
men and would encourage a pairing
down of such items of cost at the
expense of the men.
80 The provisions of the Act
relating to payment for overtime,
while in the main not oppressive, do
work a hardship upon the oper-
ators when such items as travel
ing expenses, bonuses and vaca-
tons are included in the compu-
tatiOns. The Administrator and
Congress should recognize the fol-
lowing points relating to the labor
situation in the Territory:
(a) That a large number of
specialists must be, brought to and
taken from the scene of operations
each year at the expense of the
operator chiefly for the reason that
only few of the needed specialists
are residents of the Territory and
that this expense is not in any
sense. compensation for services.
CD That many of the operators
provide generous bonusus and extra
piece work compensation in order
to hold their employees from season
to season and that these bonuses
are not usually based upon hours
of labor, but upon output or profit
which varies greatly with the sea-
son, and that such bonuses are not
properly subject to inclusion in
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1942-02-12

in accordance with the more or
less liberal dispositions of the OPP
orators.
te) That no oversupply of labor
has or does exist in the Territory
and that even in times of great I'M
employment elsewhere, the Terri
tory has suffered from a shortage
of qualified labor, and that to
induce migration of labor to the
Territory much higher wages and
better working conditions as COM
pared to those offered in the States
had to be offered by operators in
the Territory coupled with the
promise of opportunity to make a
stake" by working longer hours
than are usual in industries sit
uated elsewhere.
"a 1t is the belief of the Asso-
citation that gold is not and cannot
under any reasonable construction
be considered an article of COM
merce nor its production by a
cheap labor supply, If such were
available, burden commerce Of in
terfere with the free flow Of com
merce within the intent of section
2 of the Act.
THEREFORE, in view of the ma
tional emergency and of the urgent
requirement that all conditions pos
sible which will assist in the de-
Tense and security of Alaska be
maintained, and because it is the
belief of this Association that un-
less prompt and adequate relief is
