been asked to attend or send dele

Also represented will be repre
sentatives of contractors, service
and supply firms, airlines and
numerous trade unions.
The conference was first sug
gested by military and other of
ficials to combat confusion and
hindrances to the movement of
labor within the Alaskan area by
reason of local wage variations
and varying wage practices in ad
jacent areas. Dr. Noble said.
Differences in wages, hours of em
ployment, terms of hire and slow
and cumbersome procedures in
volved in receiving authorizations
for wage rate changes have been
the source of considerable incon
venience and consequent dissatis
faction, he explained.
‘‘We believe that this overall
study by all concerned agencies
and individuals will lead to a sta
bility of employment practice
which will go a long way toward
settling many of Alaska's employ
ment problems,” Dr. Noble said.
“When the war brought a great
employment boom to Alaska,
things were happening too fast
to permit proper attention to
many details. But all the agen
cies to which I have spoken real
