LABOR BILL LOSES

The Territorial House yesterday killed the bill proposing minimum wages and maximum hours Tor Alaskan workers after proponents of the bill refused do away with the section which would have granted wide regulatory powers having the effect of law to the Commissioner sf Labor.

 Such powers if extended could have been used at future time by interruptions official against labor as well as against business.
