MINIMUM WAGE
BILL IS INTRODUCED
IN LEGISLATURE
ATTORNEY GENERAL’S PET PLAN
CALLS FOR PROSECUTION
OF LABOR CLAIMS
Among four new bills introduced in
the Senate, and which bring the total
number introduced thus far up to 14,
are two by Frame of the Third divi
sion, on request, calling for regulation
of employment in the Territory.
S. B. No. 12 is entitled “An act to
regulate contracts between employer
and employe and the method and man
ner of paying compensation for labor,”
and was introduced at the request of
the Attorney General. The general
recommendations are as follows:
“That where the contract for serv
ice is to continue for a season or for
a specified period of time and the
labor is to be paid by the piece,
and such contract contains no express
guarantee of a minimum of material
to be furnished the employe by the
employer with which bo do the work
and earn his compensation, the con
tract shall be construed to guarantee
to the employe enough work to enable
him to earn at least $20 per week in
addition to lodging and subsistence;
and where the contract is for perform
ance of tasks and furnishing of labor
contemplating and requiring several
servants and contains no guarantee as
to the minimum amount of material
which the employer will furnish to en
able the contractor or employe or
employes to earn compensation, such
contract shall be construed to guar
antee for each individual whose serv
ices are needed to accomplish the task
when the plant, establishment, can
nery or factory at which the labor is
to be performed is operating at full
capacity, sufficient material to enable
such contractor, servant or employe to
earn at least $20 per week in addi
tion to lodging and subsistence.”
Unless otherwise specified in con
tracts entered into before the work
is performed, the bill provides for a
monthly pay day for all work per
formed to within ten days of pay day,
and for full payment at the time the
employe’s services terminate, payment
to be made either in actual cash or in
struments drawn on some bank or de
pository within the Territory con
veniently situated to the place of the
payment of labor. It fixes the stand
ard size for mild-cured herring at 700
per barrel unless otherwise specified
in the contract and provides further
that, unless specified to the contrary
refilling after the barrel has been left
to stand and settle, “is no part of the
gibbing and or packing for which the
contract price per barrel is fixed.”
Employes discharged by the super
intendents or managers of the work,
who under the contract are made the
sole judges of the efficiency of such
employes, are given the right to show
that the decision of such judges was
“unfair or unjust and not in conformi
ty with the facts.” In case of con
tracts containing more than 200 words,
parts relating to the minimum guaran
tee and size of fish to be packed are
required to be typed or printed in
larger size than the remainder of the
contract. A penalty clause is embod
ied directed against employers who,
having sufficient means so to do, fail
to pay employes on demand where the
failure is designed to annoy, harass,
oppress or defraud employes. Chap
ter 45, Session Laws of 1925, entitled
“An Act to Protect Labor,” is re
pealed by the bill.

NOTICE
REPORT—Pete McMahon continues:—“It spread its wings and
with giant strides sped down the track. I, have a very clear impres
sion of its general appearance. The body was on the lines of a giant
porcupine, but the quills were much longer. I noticed its speed was ^
greatly accelerated by the employment of its tail, much in the man
ner of a kangaroo. Its long sinuous neck swung back and forth with
each stride, and the headlight accentuated its clear, reddish green col
ering. I'm sure the neck of the creature was covered with scales,
because I picked up several of tne same color after it had disap
peared.”
Pete has the scales to prove his assertion, and Frank Martin
vouched for the description. They are both truthful men. More to
morrow.
