ALASKA WAGE-HOUR
COMMISSIONER
B. D. Stewart of Juneau, an
nounced in Washington dispatch
es recently, as representative of
the federal wage and hour de
partment for Alaska, has a big
task ahead of him.
Mr. Stewart is highly capable
and doubtless will measure up to
the important task imposed up
on him. As commissioner of
mines for Aaska he already car
ries a heavy responsibility. His
work of years in the mines de
partment has given him a wide
range of knowledge throughout
the Territory.
Mr. Stewart does things thoro
ly. He understands Alaska condi
tions, is painstaking and fair
minded and doubtless will be
able to weigh and determine
with fairness to all such matters
as come before him involving
discretionary powers.
Alaskans conditions as touch-'
ing the wage and hour act pre
sent a number of important phas
es different than obtained in
continental America. Remoteness
of the Territory from the great
labor and supply bases of Am
erica and the fact the greater i
part of the work of the 2 major
industries of the Territory are of:
seasonal character, present un
usual problems.
Mr. Stewart was to leave Seat-;
tie December 10 en route to Jun
eau from Washington. It pro
bably will be several weeks until
he can get down to the detail
work of his new task and deal
with the Tftany questions which i
arise in connection with applica-1
i tion of the wage-hour act in the
1 Territory.
I In the mean-time, from all ad
I vices. Alaskan industries affect
i ed by the act are carrying on in
compliance with provisions of
the act so far as they have been
made clear to the public. Many
interpretations, it is admitted by
the administration, are essential.
Many of the more doubtful
points may be put up to congress
for amendment or clarification.
In justice to the people of Al
aska, the powers that be at Wash
ington should and doubtless will
not be keen in cracking down on
employers and employes of the
Northland until a fair practical
adjustment and application is
made possible.
Alaskans are entitled to a voice
in presenting their case, and with
Mr. Stewart as intermediary and
representative of the federal au
thority they may expect and no
doubt will receive a reasonable
hearing and a square deal.
