GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Now under consideration by the Territorial House of Representatives is a proposed law providing for maximum hours and minimum wages of labor i'll Alaska The bill would set the minimum wage at $lo0 Der hour compared with a much lower Federal mini mum While it is true that this figure might work a great hardship number of small businesses in Alaska we do not consider this the most objectionable feature of the bill
 Much more dangerous is the feature permitting the Commissioner of Labor to promulsate rules and regulations and providing for fine and Imprisonment for any employer who violates any rule, regua- tion or order issued by the Commissioner of Labor within the power granted to him
 As pointed out by Rep Maurice Johnson of Fair banks yesterday it is dangerous thing to vest the power of government by regulation with severe pen altes for violations of these rules and regulations in the hands of any one man. This is reflection on the official who happens hold the office of labor commissioner at present.
 Such power wielded by interruptions person, and such persons frequently hold public office could be abused The labor commissioner could promulgate a wide variety of rules and regulations which would the effect of law because of the severe penalties involved for their violation
 The Legislature is the only body which should have the power to make laws If all of admin strative officials given the power to grind out rules and regulations having the effect of law, then there would be little for a legislative body.
 It is our opinion that this feature ill the bill endangers it's passage The intent of the bill is to establish minimum wage and maximum hours of employment Elimination of the section granting the power of regulation and rule to the labor com

Winter Wind
CNew York Times


 The winter wind is like cold surf beating through the bare treetops and sweeping through the valleys It roars in the night elemental voice; 1t whistles at the house corner and it rates the shutter and the pane Listen to it. and you are hearing the mighty currents of the air rushing down the attitudes or the earth currents from the Mackenzie and the Athabaska and the Saskatchewan and from the prairies and the white tundra.
 It is a homeless wind, forever on the move. It cannot pause on any hilltop and if 1t seems to relax in some deep valley it is only gathering strength It bows the oaks and goes and on. It brings a freight of snow and swirls it over the land and It hckens the ice the lakes, but the wind itself IS forever on it's way driven by the weight of it's own motion drawn by the of risen wind in some far place.
 It is restless as the human mind, strong as the drive of passion It matches strength with strength tests the fiber and tries the earthbedded root The rocks shoulder it aside but the sand rolls with the wind and the hills and dunes take on new shapes. The weak gives way and the uncertain alters its course as the wind dictates.
 And we sit before fires, themselves Wlnd- blown by the chimney gusts and cherish our warmth, our snug security. And we know that the rush oi wind just beyond walls is the rush of winter passing It the fierce breath of change itself The earth turns and the winds eddy and swirl; and enc fine night there will be whisper of spring in the wind and another winter will have blown itself away

More For the Money

The retail situation seems to be stabilizing to a considerable ex
tent, and merchandising experts are getting a clearer idea OF what
the consumer is demanding.
First of all, there is a definite accest on better quality. The
public is weary of the shoddy good and the substitutes which had
to be sold during and after the war because other goods were unob-
tainable. Buyers for the large chants and department stores have ex
amined manufacturers lines with the most meiculous care and haI-
refused to stock substandard items. This is of benefit to the small
merchant a well, in that it forces producers to offer improved lines
There is consumer resistance to Increasing prices. As an ex
ample, many stores have reported that expensive women's wear is
moving more slowly than in the past. AT the same time, the bulk OF
the consuming public seems to have realized, cventhough reluctant
ly, that there i no way to achieve The impossible ideal of l94l prices
coupled with l947 wages, taxes and other costs. 1t is only hannah to
want higher pay and lower prices at the same time, but it just does
MT make economic sense.
Retailers Of all kinds and in all the basic fields have done an
excellent Job i'll serving the consumer under difficult and often I'M
practicable conditions. They have attacked the price problem with
all the weapons they possess, and have been responsible for limiting
increases as much as possible. They have improved and broadened
their services. The American consumer, despite the deprecated dol
lar, gets more for his money than any other buyer on earth.

In the Public Service

The National Board of Fire Underwriters has announced the
award OF gold medals to two newspapers and a radio station in re-
cognihon off Distinguished public service in promoting safety Of life
and resources from fire. These awards were established by the
Board is 1911, and impartial juries make the decision each year.
The latest award in the daily newspaper field went to the Chic
ago Sun, for al aggressive fire prevention which stemmedf from the
LaSalle Hotel disaster. Among weekly papers, the. Moberly, Mis-
souri,, Message was Given a medal as a result Of its continuous, three
year campaign to improve fire protection. The radio station is HTIC,
OF Hartford, Connecticut Eight other newspapers and six radio 81
tons were cited by the jury for outstanding fire prevention work.
1t IS impossible to exaggerate the importance Of the press anu
the radio in fighting the scourage of fire. These media command
the direct attention and interest of the public. They reach millions
of people who otherwise would be unaware of fires danger and the
way to combat it. They enter the homes of America, which must be
the starting point for any fire prevention campaign that is tc get re.

laws and their enforcement, and to URGE remedial action.

that the entire American press and radio will do its full part il

Strikes On the Railroad

The employees of individual railroads or the employees Of all the
railroads periodically call or threaten 10 call strikes to enforce com.
phance with their demands for changes jim wages, or rules applying
to working conditions. Apparently their only excuse for resortins
to methods which disrupt the country, damage Industries and leave
the public without its basic means of transport is to force quicker de-
cisons on labor demands than can sometimes be arrived at by nego-
tiahon.
There is no more justification for such tactics than there would
granted by a certain date to provide a greater return on money in
vested in railroad securities.
What is the difference between a man working on a railroad
and a man who puts up his money to finance the railroads, without
which there would be no railroad jobs, is entitled to fair wages
on his capital as much as any employee entitled to fair wages on his
capital this time).
Railroad ~bondholders and stockholders, of whom there are pro-
badly more than there are railroad employees, do not refuse the public
the use of their cars, engines and rights Of way, even when rate in
cfeases are denied by public regulatory bodies fol such long lengths
of time that heavy losses re suffered on investments.
Why should strikes on the part of railroad employees, which cause
great public suffering and loss, be tolerated any more than would
strikes by the owners of the railroads?
