The Wage and Hour inspec

j Salient points of the law which!
are of interest to the mining in
terest to the mining industry are
three: That no wage less than 30
cetns an hour is paid to employ
1 ees; that overtime for all hours
over 40 per week are compensat

half the employer’s regular rate
of pay; and that no one under

we are not here in a punitive
capacity, but to gain compliance,
with the provisions of the law.j
“Recently, the Alaska-Juneau
Mining Company, under a con
sent decree signed in San Fran
cisco Federal Court, paid back
wages to its employees in the ap
provimate amount of $50,000 to
$60,000 as unpaid overtime com
pensation.”
Wage and Hour inspections j
wi.l be continued in the Nome,
area for the next week and then

Plane Talk
In our midst of budding young
aviators and aviatrixes, another
has burst into bloom. Frederick
Waid made his first solo flight
Tuesday at the Nome airport and.
had the satisfaction of making a
perfect three point landing. All
students hope and strive to make;
that first landing a perfect one;
and Freddie succeeded beautiful
ly in doing so. This makfe the
third student who has been
checked out. The other two are;
Neva Whaley and Ed Snyder, j
The training plane, a three
place Piper Cruiser, has been !
duly named and christened as i
the “Flit-iFire.” When you see a|
long streamer hanging from aj
wing strut, it means that one of
the three students who have solo
ed are up in the air on their
own. All students flying solo are
required to have a streamer on
the plane until they have com
pleted five hours alone. When
other planes see the streamer
they give the plane a wide berth
and a polite ‘I’ll be first after you
attitude.’
Johnnie Johensten is hailed as
a new student amongst the wo
men. Johnnie brings the femin
ine population up to si*. Accord
ing to Instructor Frank Whaley
they are all taking flying very
seriously and show a spirit and
aptitude that makes his men stu
dents really have to be on their
toes trying to retain their super
iority over the weaker sex.
Other new students are Dick
Weitzel and Larry Galvin.
WEATHER FORCAST
Generally fair and warmer to
night and Thursday but with fre
quent rain showers in the near
