Unlawful To Employ
Children Below 16 In
Interstate Commerce
It has been rumored re
cently that children of any
age may be employed in
the industries of Alaska
owing to the shortage of
adult labor and because of
the national emergency.
This is false.
The Fair Labor Stand
ards Act of 1938 sets the
basic employment age at
16 years for general em
ployment and 18 years for
any occupation declared to
be of a hazardous nature.
It is to be remembered that
the Fair Labor Standards
Act covers every employ
ment which ships goods or
materials in interstate com
merce.
Employers may protect
themselves from uninten
tional violation by keeping
on record a copy of the
birth certificate of any
youth between the ages of
16 and 18 years.
Until there are official re
visions to existing inter
pretations of the federal
act, it will be unlawful to
employ children below the
, age of 16 in any industry
which ships in interstate
commerce. All fishing, min
ing and lumbering indus
tries fall into the prohibit
ed group.
NOTICE
Any person wishing to
report any violation of the
rights of labor, pertaining
to wages, compensation or
safety conditions, may con
tact me at the office of the
U. S. Marshal or the office
of the Federal jail.
Frank Angerman
Inspector for the
Territorial Dept, of Labor

was a guest at the dinner and ■
show, presented Bergen with a •
real Alaskan key to Juneau, I
made up of two small totem'
poles and trimmed in ivory. The j
key was shaped by Don Skuse. 1

“Give me a half-hour with it and |
I’ll have it talking.”
