Parks, C. H. Flory, ex-officio Commission- ! er in Alaska for the Department of Commerce, and M. D. Wil- liams, District Engineer, United States Bureau of Public Roads, ask- ing them to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent any such employment. Mr. Flory and Mr. Willilams, af- ter conferring with Gov. Parks this morning, left on the steamer Aleu- tian for Ketchikan to discuss the matter with the Chamber of Com- merce. All of them admit that| there is no legal method by which labor can be restricted to local residents. Hands Are Tied “Our hands are absolutely tied so far as this matter Is concerned” Mr. Williams explained today. “We can and are requiring contractors to specify the minimum wage' scale to be paid on any project on which We can and will men. No station contract, in the future, can be let by any con- tractors until and less it has been first approved by the Bureau of Public Roads. But the law is specific regarding bids and the rights of bidders. “We are required to call for bids where the estimates of @nstruc- tion costs are $5,000 or more. Any person or corporation which can make a proper financial showing and post the required bond, is en- titled to bid. We cannot even re- fuse to accept the bids of aliens. “The successful bidder, if he| meet the specifications for the project, can hire his labor to suit his own convenience and there is| nothing we can do to require pref- erence be given to local peopln‘ We realize the need that exists in Alaska for providing work for | Alaskans now out of employment | And it is our sincere desire that any contractor whose tender for| |Per Capita |what ds requested by the Ketchi- |cessful bidder will utilize local la- Circulation Increasing WASHINGTON, July 18— Circulation of money in the United States increased $215,- 000,000 in June reaching a to- tal of $5,695,000,000.

We urge upon you to take action be- fore bids are opened so that such a deplorable situation will not arise after the job starts, and we also urge that it be made Impos- sible for contractors to secretly ship lebor to Ketchikan and then hire them under the guise that they were hired in Ketchikan, Has Been Done Before “This has been done before and will be done again if not watched. The Cily Government and Cham- ber of Commerce stand ready to assist any contractor obtaining this jub on a basis of local labor which is the only way it should be con- sidered. “We believe you gentlemen have the power to handle this situation. If you haven't, we believe you can get it in short order from Wash- ington, and we earnestly urge that you do not recommend acceptance of any bid until you have suffic- lent guarantee that the contractor is going to hire his labor in Ket- chikan without subterfuge. “You know the labor is here and you know this request is just and right.” Anxious to Assist All three officers asserted their desire to help Ketchikan in any way possible. “Ketchikan probably, has done more than any town in Alaska in the way of unemploy- | ment relief, and its problem is as| serious as any community’s in the Territory,” declared Gov. Parks.| And in this he was joined by ‘Commissioner Flory. “We haven't the power to do kan Chamber, and no one in ‘Washington can give it to us” added the latter. “As Mr. Wil-| liams has said, we hope the suc- bor and will do whatever we can | to bring that about.” | — - Pork consumption totaled 65 per | cent of all meats eaten in Germany ; during 1931, pending work is accepted shall give first consideration to labor in the immediate vicinity of the job,” he said. | Text of Wire | ‘The Ketchikan project, which| calls for clearing and grubbing of (three miles of extension to Ton- gass Highway in the vicinity of, Mud Bay, is estimated to cos:i about $18,000.
