8 HOUR LAW
DISCUSSION IS
CONFUSED
“Resolved, (hat is the sense of this
meeting that further abrogation of
the eight hour law be not countenanc
ed except for governmental or patriot
ic purposes.”
_
I
The above resolution was passed by |
a vote of 41 to 15 at the mass meeting
last night held in the tire hall. And at
that the writer firmly believes that
the majority of the 41 understood
that they were voting on the question
of the absolute rescinding of the terri
torial eight hoar law. After the meet
ing was over, in the Key, in the
branch, at the Northern and on the
streets the question was asked gen
erally by those not in attendance at
the meeting: “Did they knock out the
eight hour law?”
During the vote at tin* meeting one
man was asked: “What are you vot
ing for?” and quickly came the re
ply: “Voting whether 1 shall work :
eight hours or more.”
The eight hour law, its constitu
tionality or any other discussion ainmt
it.^ total abolishment, was pot the pur
pose of the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by
Attorney Ray. Rev. J. J. Patton was
elected permanent chairman and,
Wayne l?lue secretary, both by ac
clamation. Attorney Ray read resolu
tions passed by the Alaska Labor
Union and the Pioneers of Anchorage
protesting strongly against further
exemptions of the eight hour law dur
inr the period of the wai or any other
time. Attorney Ray presented the
above resolution. Harry Hoben, Judge
Morford, Attorney Green and others
<poke against the meeting passing
any resolution whatever as the Gov
ernor of the Territory and the Na
tional Council of the Defense was
having evidence submitted and hear
ings were now in piogress regarding
further abrogation. The speakers de
sired that the matter be left in the
hands of the Governpr as he would
arrive at a just decision regarding!
further exemptions, knowing full well ]
the needs of labor for war duty.
Rut the majority, as the aftermath I
showed, believed they were voting on j
the absolute rescindment of the eight
h.uir law, and the resolution was nr
1 ied. Following the passing of the
resolution and a resolution that it be
telegraphed to Gov. Strong, the mass
meeting adjourned.
