j mission, deals with “wages >md
I working conditions. Clark writes
| that stateside wage standards are
; the greatest influence on Alaskan
wage rates.
While he cites various basic
pay scales, Clark notes that it *s
not these hourly rates but the
chance for overtime and holiday
pay which has attracted workers
to Alaska. “The working of long
hours in construction,” he said,
“has virtually mocked the concept
of the 40-hour week.”
The “get-it-quick” possibilities
have declined, however, in the
past two years because of the
growth of the labor supply, the
virtual elimination of emergency
completion deadlines, increasing
competition among contractors,,
and the desire of unions to spread
work among all qualified mem
bers.
Multi-Ton Drilling Rig
Hauled 475 Miles
Thru Trackless Wilds
FORT ST. JOHN UP—One of the
toughest moving jobs in the his
tory of this barren wilderness was
completed by a group of oil and
construction workers Thursday.
The group, 75 in all, moved a
multi-ton drilling rig 475 trackless
miles to a new site northeast of
Fort Nelson.
The rig was moved in five days
by the men and 54 tractors and
half-tracks. Weather was often 50
below zero and some of the men
went two or three days with no
sleep.
The job wras a race against
warm weather, which would ren
der the muskeg an impassable sea
of mud. The new drilling site will
be isolated except by air when the
spring warmup comes.
