GAMERS WARNED !,
OF FEDERAL LAWS
ON CHILD LABOR

With child labor laws in the spot
light, as they will be at the public
hearing Tuesday in the Territorial
Department of Labor offices, atten-
ton is called to federal regulations
especially as they pertain to can
neries.
l.. E. Evans, u S. Department OF
Labor representative, points then
out.
Although Territorial law permits
children under IA to work in cam
merry warehouses, said Evans. "a
16-year age minimum applies under
the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act to warehouse and other jobs in
or about the canneries, if these Jobs
are part of the continuous can
ming process.
I'm hazardous occupations. Evans
continued, "a higher minimum-1s
years-applies."
Evans reminds Alaska fish can
ners that the federal law applies II
they ship canned fish or other
goods in interstate commerce, or de-
liver them for shipment, within 80
days after an under-age child has
heen employed in the establish
ment.
Alaska Gamers should clearly
understand" said Evans, that the
federal child-labor provisions apply
to all occupations in or about can
merry having to do with the "contin-
uous canning process" or which re-
quire performance of duties in a
room where any manufacturing or
canning processes are carried on.
The continuous canning process
includes all operations which take
place on the products to be canned
from the time they are received at
the cannery until they are labeled,
packed in cases for shipment and
the cases stacked"
Evans indicated that the 16-year
minimum also applies to manufac-
turing or processing jobs not part
Of the canning processes, such as
laundry or cookhouse work.

INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTION
STEALING
(By Associated Press

The nations industrial produc-
ton is still falling after five
straight months of decline. The
government listed the production
index for April at the lowest level
since July, 1947-and the index for
this month is heading still lower
Factory employment has been
falling off for seven straight
months, with the number of layoffs
hitting new postwar high in
April. There was also a drop last
month in the average weekly earn
ings of those factory workers re-
naming on the job-and this all
adds up to one thing:
Fewer workers are getting less
money to buy the goods they nake.

Lodge DiscIoims
Any Desire for
Title of Liberal
BY the Associoted Press

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Jan. o.
Senator Lodge, Republican, of
Massachusetts, disclaimed today any
desire to be known as liberal"
In statement to the New Bed
ford Standard-Times prompted by
an editorial in the paper titled:
Lodge the Liberal" he referred
to recent attempt by IA Repub-
lican Senators to Z unseat Senator
Taft of Ohio as chairman of the
party's Policy Committee. I,
Throughout the entire contest"
the paper quoted Senator Lodge as
saying, Il never once used the word
and have never applied it to myself
or to any one else" He explained
it was his desire to 'modernize and
rejuvenate the Republican Party"
Senator Lodge said the term
stemmed from Gilbert and Sullivan
comedies and added:
Every thoughtful person is a
conservative in that he wants to
keep the good that has been done
and the progress that has been
made. He is also a progressive in
the sense he wants to advance and
to acquire the new things that are
good"

New Mass Arrests in SIovukiu
Include so Held as u. S. Spies

ercise yard at the Pankrac prison
say at least Is generals and 300
other officers are in the circle
lineup during walking exercise per-
iods.
The roundup at Bratislava, capi-
tai of Slovakia, was one of the
largest in series of continuing
arrests throughout the country.
Rumors were fed by the mystery
of a midnight shooting which awoke
diplomats in the fashionable Del
vice section of Prague two weeks
ago. A dozen shots were clearly
audible. in the area, where the Amer
ican and Russian ambassadors have
their villas.
In the area was reputed to live a
Czechoslovak army major blamed
for revealing the generals plot
against the state. He was said to
.have been in the plot, then tipped
the hand of the plotters. The whis-
perers in Prague. said the major
had been assassinated by others in
the deal who are still free.
But diplomatic circles, as well as
foreign newsmen-who were criti-
cized for sending the stories abroad
were stumped in attempts to get
q clear picture of the case.
