A CRUSHER FOR ALASKA
Should Senate bill 156, as approved by committee,
imposing the six-hour and five-day week be enacted m o
law and no provisions made for exclusion of Alaska, it
will impose a staggering blow upon the fishing industry
of Alaska, as well as mining.
Unlike manufacturing centers where such changes
could be effected without anything more than subdivid
ing the day into so many hours and fixing compensation
accordingly, the fishing industry offers no such oppoi
tunities simply because a multitude of elements enter in
to the business which place it peculiarly m a class by it
self. Where there is a labor market, such a ruling is ad
mittedly alright but not so where there is already a clos
ing law prohibiting fishing from from 6 p. m. Fnday s
to 9 a. m. Monday's, and no labor.
The Territorial Legislature now in session is to be
congratulated upon its quick grasp of the situation and
immediate action in drafting a petition to waid to
Congress asking that Alaska be exempt from the 30
hour week. The Legislature is agreed that should this
provision be made mandatory in Alaska, it would luin
the Territory, foicing the fishing and mining interests
to shut down, depopulating the towns and pauperizing
the residents of the Northland. A similar view is held
here in Seward as will be elsewhere ^specially to the
Westward where the labor market during the short per
iod of fishing season, is indeed non-existent.
There are limitations to which law may go in set
ting a given standard, and in many instances these
standards set themselves in such a manner that nothing
but common sense can be used, as a yard-stick by which
to measure them. The canning industry is thus affected.
If Alaska receives the imposition of this law it will
decrease rather than increase labor and the very one
sought to be aided will be the actual suffeiers.
Every pressure should be exerted upon Washington
to have Alaska excluded.
March came in dry and went out like the prohibi
tion party.
