WasiIIa Mine Company Sued By Labor Dept.
Wage-Hour Act Violations Charged in Federal
 Court Complaint

Charging the Alaska Pacific Con- solidated Mining Company with violations of the Federal Fair Labor tandards Act (the wage-hour law), a complaint has been filed in Federal District Court in Seattle by Walter T. Neubert, manager of the Seattle office of the Wage and Hour Division, Territorial Labor Commissioner Michael J. Haas an- nounced today.
 The Alaska Pacific operates near Wasilla, Alaska and employs ep- proximately 200 workers. The com plaint alleges that the company has required certain employees to work in excess of 40 hours per week with out paying them overtime compen- sation at the rate of one and one half times the regular rates of pay.
 Further, the complaint charges that the company has shipped gold and concentrates out of Alaska in violation of the wage-hour arts hot goods provision, which pro- hibits the shipment of goods in interstate commerce if they were produced in violation of the act.
 Haas pointed out that this is the first contested action filed by the Wage and Hour Division ag- ainst mining firm in Alaska. The decision is expected to clarify the application for overtime require ments of the act to the plan for so-called daily overtime" which has been adopted by many comp anies in both Alaska and the States.
