Urge Marker Lights A resolution received from the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce 4 the enactment of legislation by the Alaska legislature, which meets here March 2, next, requir- ing all vehicles, other than motor, to display marker lights and that all obstructions on highways be marked with a red light. Chapter 85, Session Laws of 1923, requires propef lights on motor ve- hicles using highways. The Fair-| banks organization suggested this, could be amended to require prop- er lighting for all vehicles and to' mark traffic obstructions. Its” resolution was submitted to the Legislative Committee for report nnd recommendation.

News of the’ \Presidem's action was communicat- | ed in an Associated Press dispatch to The Empire. The law will be- come effective July 1, the begm- ning of the next fiscal year. A 44-hour week means eight hours for five days and four hours for one day—in other words, a Sat- urday half holiday. At present the 48-hour week is in force—eight hours for six days. “Postal employees here, as else- where throughout the country are quite familiar with the terms of the enactment,” Mrs. J. C. Spickett, Postma. “It has been discussed at len in postal pub- | lications. The law permits over- time work. For instance, if a mail steamship should arrive here late Saturday forenoon, employees would work that afternoon to distribute the mail, but they would have to be paid for their overtime work instead of being laid off a future day for the same period they had worked overtime. The new law is intended to prevent Postmasters from working employees overtime except in cases of actual necessity.” In signing the bill, the Presi- dent said that the increased salar- ies and reduced hours granted in the measure would be responsible for a large part of the $100,000,000 postal deficit and that Congress should provide increased postal revenues. | to It Russian eity wine Other 47, Mineral DOWN .
