Martin of | Secretary Harold Ickes, | cold and much progress has been | made. However, Mr. Martin points out, need of additional funds is now pressing to carry out the out- lined program A license fee of one dollar a year for resident commercial clam diggers and $25 annually for non- resident diggers is proposed in a bill introduced in the Legislature by Charles Murray of Cordova. But under provisions of the measure the cost would be passed on those actually buying the clams such as canneries, and such establishments. The license fees, according to the bill, would be paid by the canner- ies or markets on the clam diggers | from whom they buy. Penalty of six months in jail or ‘a $500 fine| is provided for violation. . Contract Laber Bill Murray also is author of a meas- | ure which would abolish all con-| tract labor in the Territory, cluding those getting $50 per week or over. Under provisions of the bill it would be' unlawful for an employer to contract with an em- ployee to work any given length of time and employment could be terminated on 24 hours notice. Aimed apparently at the canner- jes, the bill charges the bringing of non-residents into the Terri- tory for seasonal or other work is unfair to permanent residents. Penalty for violation is fixed at six months imprisonment or $500 fine.
