amount obtainable by the rela
tives of an unmarried citizen of
the United States—all of these
amounts being payable by the
employer; and,
Whereas, for total disability
a married employee can receive
up to a possible $9,0000.00, and
an unmarried employee, citizen
or alien, can receive up to a pos
s i b 1 e $9,000.00—all of these
amounts being chargeable
against the employer; and
Whereas, the schedules for
partial disability and particular
injuries are likewise directly
chargeable against the employ
er; and,
Whereas, for a payment of
$2.50 per month, payable by
each employee, the employer is
chargeable for all medical and
hospital costs of an employee for
a possible period of one year;
and,
Whereas, a discrimination
against married and unmarried
employees, who are citizens of
the United States, in favor of
alien employees, is an actual
and necessary result of the
schedules in said Compensation
Act set out; and
Whereas, working men and
employees of all kinds, as well as
corporations and business men
of both large and small capital,
are adversely affected thereby,
the Act taking no note of the
prosperity or lack of prosperity
of such corporations or business
men; and,
Whereas, there is now no in
dustrial insurance available in
Alaska, whereby an employer
can protect himself against loss
es, which in the majority of
cases are absolutely destructive,
resulting at times in no protec

the employer; and,
Whereas, as a result of this
and previous legislation along
the same lines, there has been
an actual withdrawal of capital
from Alaska, or a refusal of cap
ital to engage in gainful enter
prises therein—particularly in
the business of mining upon
which the Territory so largely
depends;
Now, Therefore. Be It Resolv

OF COMMERCE protests against
this state of affairs and demands
a change in the law at the earli

upon proper officials of the Ter

Washington Compensation Acts,
and especially the Oregon Act,
with a view to the immediate
preparation of a Compensation
Act that will invite rather than
