Rate Increase
 Will HamString Labor, Haas Says

People have been contracting the Territorial Department Of Labor - their requests are Will the 45 per cent freight and passenger rates effect the labor set up?' The an. swer is, of course, yes. It will ef. feet all Territorial offices. Labor Commissioner Michael Haas said in a statement issued this week The statement goes on to say:
 Travel has always been costly in Alaska and because of that fact all too little travel has been done by Territorial departments. Alaska is a large Territory to police and en- forcement cannot be done without travel. The Department of Labor will have to cut it's travel which already has been less than desired This will apply to all offices and tend to hamper good administration
 We would like to believe that the 45 per cent raise will only increase living per cent, but We have gone through other raises and know all too well what takes place. Business cannot absorb the raise and labor cannot spend more to live than what their pay envelopes hold. Many oper- ators have been wondering about the coming summers operations. They can stop their worries now.
 "The people of Anchorage and rail points were told that lower rates would be theirs when the railroad cutoff was finished. Now, with the increase, perhaps it will be wise to up the toll tax on the Richardson Highway Alaskans want to stay in Alaska, but if living here becomes prohibitiYe and travel costs impos- sible, well woe is us. Like the iso- lationist, the opponents of the In- ternational Highway will now have to fold their tents and silently fade away. If We hold out long enough and if tires are to be had and gas can be secured, maybe we will see the old folks at home again.

The Alabaman said Mr.. Hoover.
food Administrator during the last

tary Of Agriculture should control
prices as well as supply and produc-
ton OF farm products.
The suggestion came from a man
who has had more experience with
the subject Of food supplies than
anybody in the world" Senator
Bankhead said. adding that Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wickard had
nothing to do with originating the
proposed amendment. 1t would re-
quire prior approval by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture for any farm
price ceilings fixed by the price ad-
ministrator.

sonable, cautious and prudent man" !"

tary should have some say about

responsibility of wartime production.

operate successfully" but Senator
Overton, Democrat, of Louisiana

Mr.. Ford maintained farmers
would lose one hour on both ends

save electricity, became law.

Republican, of Minnesota who noted
also that the bill would interfere
with duck hunters, whose hours for
actual hunting are limited by statue
and are based on the time the sun

Farmers Views Cited.
Others opposing the bill on the
ground it would work hardship
on farmers, contended the hours OF
a farmers working day were regu-
lated not by clocks, but by the sun
and the habits Of farm animals.
