WACE-H0UR
RESOLUTION
IS ADOPTED
Juneau Chamber Of Com.
meree Sends Copies
Washington

The Juneau Chamber of Com
merce unanimously adopted reso-
luton today, protesting the diff
culties Alaska employers have ex-
perienced in administration of the
Wage Hour Law and urging that
| the Government take steps to rem
edy the situation. 1t is the same
resolution which was adopted by
the Alaska Miners Association in
Seattle on January 49, and by the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
on January 81.
The resolution points out the
hardships which the administration
of the law has brought to bear
on the Alaska mining industry. 1t
emphasizes that since the act was
made effective, there have been no
cases where an employee here has
been dissatisfied with wages or
hours. The resolution sbrings out
the many Inconsistencies which
have resulted in the administration
of the law through frequent changes
in interpretation. 1t points out
also that many court decisions have
disagreed with the interpretations
taken by Wage-Hour administrat-
ors. The resolution concludes with
the statement that If such inter-
Iprctations are allowed to continue
and employers in the Territory
forced to pay the huge fines asked
I for, the administrators will wreck
the Alaska mining industry.
Copies are being sent to the
Wage Hour Administrator in Wash
Iington, to the REGIONAL Director in
San Francisco, to Delegate Anthony
IT, Dimond, the Alaska Miners As
ISOLATION, to the Governor of Al
aska,, to the Anchorage and Fair
banks Chambers of Commerce
A committee consisting of B. F..
Heintzleman, Regional Forester,
and Robert Cowling and H. o. Adj
ans was appointed to investigate
the possibilities of conducting a
| drive in Juneau to raise scrap rub
Der, iron and other salvage mater
lials to aid national defense.

papers throughout tie country and
writing an occasional short story
His Dog Stories
Strangely, he did not begin writ
ing the stories OF dogs that won
him fame until he was AZ For years
he sought to interest editors in
animal tales but it was not until
1914 that one of them, Ray Long
asked him to do a piece because
one of the "Sunnybank" collies was
friendly and interesting.
That collie was Lad" later the
hero of two books: Lad A Dog

Indications Are That Some

other effort to dislodge the $780,.
10000 agricultural appropriations
bill from a Senate-House deadlock
failed today, but there were indica-
tions House members of JOINT COM
,njttee were weakening in their
stand against the administration S
grain sales policy.
Nevertheless, Chairman Russell
(D.-Ga.) said efforts to reconcile
differences over a Senate amend
ment to permit sale of 125, 1000, 900
bushels of government held wheat
at 85-per cent of corn parity, about
80 cents a bushel, appeared so
hopeless he might offer motion
tomorrow to discharge Senate con-
ferees.
"A majority of the House con-
ferees wouldn't even sign a report
of disagreement to permit our .Gis-
charge and the appointment of new
conferees," he said.
But Representative Dirksen (R.-
ILL.,, House conferee, blamed tie
breakup of the conference on a
technical stalemateawhich he said
nullified compromises. Senate con-
ferees declined, he said, to take
proposed compromises to the floor
ahead of the House.
Dirksen said, too, the House con-
ferees had agreed on sale of the
125, 100000 bushels of wheat at corn
parity, about 81 cents. This repre-
sented yielding of ground since
they had held out previously for no
sales below wheat parity, about
$1.34 a bushel.
tParity is a price calculated to
give farm commodity the same
purchasing power it had in a past
base period, usually 1909-14.)

to render this service to rubber
reserve company without profit,
but will be reimbursed for their
actual costs and expense"
Jones made no reference 20 the

VICHY, Unoccupied France, July
13- R All France was tense to-
night on the eve of bastille day as
Gestapo authorities decided to
shoot all adult male relatives of
hunted saboteurs, and one of Pierre
LavaTs own Axis collaborating
friends cried: ''Watch out, Pierre
Laval, you are terribly alone!!'
In its effort to cope with anti
German violence in the unoccupied
zone, the Gestapo announced in
Paris that its firing squads would
execute f a hers, grandfathers,
brothers-even cousins and broth
er-in-laWs above 18-of any French
saboteur or assailant who does not
surrender himself within 10 days.
The mothers, sisters, and grand
mothers in any family involved
will be put to hard labor, and the
children under IS will be sent to
reform schools, the drastic Gesta-
po ruling said.
But reports reaching here proved
the anti-German struggle continued
in conquered France.
