SUGGESTS HOW
TO END STRIKE
SEN ATOR H POINTS OUT
THAT ALASKA H\S AN
ARBITRATION LAW.
Should the Kail road Commission
and its employees be unable to adjust
the present difficulties arising at An
chorage. Senator U V Ka> >uggests
that the Government might, with very
good grace, accept the provisions ot
the Arbitration Act enacted by the
First Territorial l egislature of Al
aska. Mr Kay suggests that such
action upon the part of the (.omis
sion would persuade the people of Al
aska that the Government would not
ignore or repudiate aw ■> made b\ Al
askan citizens through their duly con
st i t ut ed re prose nt at \ ves
The arbitration of labor disputes
has demonstrated the efficiency and
fairness ot such a method, is in line
with modern ideas, and the accept
ance by the government of such
method would e>*ab!i>h a precedent
of value in the determination of
future difficulties arising out ot tin
relation of employer and employee.
The legislative act provides for the
dispute to be first submitted to the
governor for his best efforts, b^
mediation and conciliation to settle
amicably the differences. Should the
governor fail to accomplish the de
sired result, a board of arbitration is
empowered to act, which board shall
consist of three members; one to be'
chosen directly by the employer, one,
by the employees, anil the third mem
ber by the two thus chosen and
selected.
The board of arbitration has power
to hold hearings, examine witnesses,
require the production of document
ary evidence, make personal examina
tion of workings and premises, pre
serve and publish the testimony
taken, and to make its findings and
decision. The award made by the
board is filed in the District Court
and judgment is entered thereon the
same as if the entire controversy had
been submitted to such court as a
court of equity. From the judgment
so entered on the award or findings
of the Hoard of Arbitration an appeal
lies to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeal for the Ninth Judi
cial Circuit, as in all equity cases.
The rights of the laborer and the
rights of the employer are ejually
and fairly protected by the legislative
act designated as Chapter 70 of the
101.** session laws.
Mr. Kay stated to the Gateway that
in the foregoing he had stated an
elemental and fundamental principle
of good government familiar to all
who have studied civics. Hut, to
avoid any misunderstanding he made
a further statement as follows: “The
government is constructing a railroad
in Alaska. The citizens of Alaska as
well as the citizens in the States con
stitute and make up that government;
the Railroad Commission is the ser
vant and agent of the citizens of Al
las ka and of the States. It seems
to me, he said, in all fairness, that
this body delegated with authority by
the citizens of our nation and terri
tory, and charged with the duty of
constructing a ‘peoples’ railroad,’
should recognize a law made by the
citizens of Alaska and proceed to take
advantage of the modern and progres
sive provisions of the Arbitration
Vet. No possible harm could result
to the Commission, acting as our
superintendents of Construction, and
a recognition of the fact that the Al
aska citizens have made a few laws
relative to the government of em
ployers and employees carrying on
work in the Territory, might piove a
