WAGE-HOUR LAW, HARDSHIP

We print elsewhere in The Empire today Reso-
luticn passed by the Alaska Miners Association on
January 10. This Resolution is timely, for we think
the Fair Labor Standards Act, otherwise known as
the Wage and Hour Law, designed to
place industry and business in the straight jacket
which has been prepared for them by Wage-Hour
officials. There is probably law ever enacted by
Congress or any legislature before, which has re-
suited in so much hardship confusion uncertainties.

The law itself is not complicated, but shortly
after its enactment, the branch of the Department
of Labor charged with its administration began to
expand and its officials and employees began to
make interpretations and regulations and changes.
so that now it is impossible for the ordinary bust
ness man or mine operator to know where he stands
from week to another Numerous interpretative
bulletins have been issued although the law contains
no provision for these arbitrary rulings and inter-
pretations and these have been changed from time
to time.
AS an illustration, the Administrator in 1899
ruled that overtime could be computed daily This
was an advantage to employees, and upon the insis-
tence of employees in numerous instances, the daily
overtime put into effect In November 1910 the
administrator changed his mind about daily over

Undersecretary of State Welles
made a great hit in Rio. From
the welcoming ovation which broke
through police lines as he stepped
off his airplane, to the end of the
conference, welles was popular

geous sense of humor even gave
him a nickname. 1t was Senior

those who saw him working night

agreed he was definitely the. Man

Western Hemisphere.
Much as they liked Welles, how
ever, there was one thing about
him which Brazilians could not
understand, namely that he smoked
cigarette while attending the
Brazilian Academy OF. Letters.
The incident illustrates the highly
religious character of this, the
gayest and most carefree city in
the Western Hemisphere Welles
was sitting with the Papal Nuncio

lister at the Brazilian Academy Of
Letters. And while waiting his
turn to speak, he smoked a cigar

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compe"
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10

Although this is not an lihpoie-
ant day in planetary direction IL
presages unusual events for the as
meets seem to promise amazing
GOOD luck in changes that mean
progress toward national fulfill
ment of democratic ideals.
HEART AND HOME; Opportun-
tiles for women of education are
Indicated. This is date fortunate
for writer's and secretaries, Inc
stars encourage recreations this
evening, but there win be little ro-
rance because young men Will be
preoccupied by war exactions even
when they enjoy homecomlngS.
Severe trials for many young wives
again are prophesied as separa-
tons will be more and more general
where young married folk are con-
cerned. Many hasty marriages are
Indicated
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Govern
ment restrictions affecting the busi-
ness world will prove fortunate for
many manufacturers of products
for civil use AS spring approaches
benefits will accrue from govern
ment policies affecting prices and
raw materials. Through the most
efficient cooperation of men and
women in every line of trade and
manufacture the whole nation will
benefit New inventions are to pro-
vide employment for many hands.
Through salvaging of waste many
thousands of dollars will be saved
and there will be less inconvenience
because Of shortages of various
kinds than has been endured in
Europe. Yankee ingenuity will
render great aid to the nation.
NATIONAL ISSUES; Fame for
American diplomats will be ac-
corded as the nation realizes how
ably it has been represented in
foreign lands. The need of career
men will be recognized for post
war negotiations and brillia n
young men will be carefully trained
in the universities. The need of
linguistic proficiency will be en-
phasized when governments again
function on peace basis. The
seers declare that among the re-
wards that will accompany victory
for the United States will be quail
fled statesmen in place Of politi-
clans.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Evil aspects of Neptune are believed
TO encourage foreign government
publicity agencies to misrepresent
the results of battles. The habit of
misrepresentation will mark our
fees in all their dealings. Lack of
faith in Axis diplomacy is to re-
tard final peace conferences. The
stamp of .treachery is to be of grave
significance as Japan seeks to
avoid the results of the surprise
The Empire is to be destroyed and
the japanese reduced to extreme
poverty, but later the people will
attain a new success, the seers
prophecy.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of ups and
downs. Unexpected changes will
perplex them, but they will be fairly
lucky at the end of the year.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be studious and success

MORAL TO U.s.A.

The moral of this difficult CEN
scrship situation was not missed
by various Pan-American delegates
namely, if you are fighting war
to defeat Hitlerism, you lose the
democratic principles for which you
are fighting if you throttle the
press.
Fortunately and wisely, President
Roosevelt has been broad minded
when it comes to press criticism,
and today censorship in the U.S.A.
has not throttled criticism.
Paradoxically, the only attempt
to stifle U. S. press criticism came
from the State Department which
was trying to encourage Argentine
press criticism at Rio de Janeiro
This was when the censorship
