Practically every business firm in
Seward is showing a “blue eagle”
in its display window signifying the
whole-hearted support of Seward
for the Administration’s recovery
program.
The Administration’s program
concerns itself chiefly with the pro
blem of increasing the purchasing
power of the nation and putting
jobless men back to work. This it
does by providing a minimum wage
scale and providing for the maxi
mum length of time the employees
are to remain at their tasks.

cerned most of Alaska’s businesses

were already within the terms pro
vided for in the agreements and
only an adjustment of work hours
is all that is necessary in many in
stances.
The minimum wage scale provid
ed by the National Recovery Act
and the codes for business provide
for a wage scale much less than
that in effect in Seward and no
wage boosts have been necessary.
The principle change for Seward
business, under the code, has been
to change the number of hours of
employees to conform with the
time provided in the various codes.
In some instances employees who
formerly worked nine hours a day,
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with one hour
#ff for lunch, now work only eight
hours a day—from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
with one hour off for lunch as us
ual. This gives a work-week of 48
hours and is permitted under some
of the codes including the grocery
and food store codes.
In instances where a 48-h our
week is not permitted by the in
j dustry’s code, different arrange
jments have had to be made. Some
t|irms will probably inaugurate a 9
ia.m. to 6 p.m. work day with two
j hours off for lunch and two extra
[ hours of on some day to give the
! required 40 hours provided for in
their codes, as the hardware and!
clothing store codes.
! Employees in one store where the
; 40 hour week prevails in Seward,
go to work from 9 a- m. until 5.
p. m. with one hour off for lunch.
| l!n addition they take twfc more
hours off on some other week day.
Because local business has found
that a 10 hour business day is un
necessary in most instances for the
handling of all business they have
j inaugurated a nine hour day. In
stead of opening at 8 a.m. as form
erly several stores are opening at1
9 a.m. This has been done in other
'cities of Alaska also
When the stores open at 9 a.m.
and remain open until 6 p.m. six
days out of the week they have a
£4-hour week and from all under
standings this is permissible under
the N. R. A., as “blue eagle” firms
are only required to be open for
business 52 hours or more a week.
Firms which conducted their bus
iness on less than 52 hours a week
prior to July 1, 1933, can maintain
their old schedule, provided that
they do not lessen the amount of
hours they are open for business.
Details of several important codes ’
which will affect local business have
not been learned in their entireity.
In the newspaper code drawn up
the other day and approved by the
administration it was revealed that
reporters, deskmen, editorial writ
ers and photographers are classed
as professional persons and are ex
empted from the code provisions.

i
i
In keeping with President Roosevelt’s National
Reemployment Agreement and in furtherance
of National Recovery, we are pledging ourselves
to do our part. Therefore beginning with Mon
day August 21st 1933 and while the National
Emergency exists, our store will be open for
business from 9 o’clock A. M. to 6 o’clock P. M.,
with the exception of boat days when the store
will open at 8 o’clock A. M.
While aiding in the N. R. A. program to the full
est extent, we are also cognizant of our service
to our patrons and which service we are trying
to keep unimpaired. To make this program a
complete success, we bespeak to our patrons and
the citizens at large, their good will and full co
operation, by phoning, mailing or wiring their
orders in time, so that the outlined working
schedule of our employees can be maintained,
and without curtailment of our store service
and efficiency.
