Says the Log One man in the whole Pacific Northwest deserves undying credit for having the vision and faith in this mighty project, and that is Tacoma’s own C. C. Garland, who, for the past five years, has devoted countless days of his time, without pay of any kind, boosting this mighty project of world nifi ce. Writing Jetters to hundreds of people a con- stant stream of publicity in American and Canadian papers, enthusing small groups with the story of the Alaska Highway, attending meetings everywhere and keeping a constant record of every bit of action taken by the Washington and Ottawa Governments, Mr. Garland has won the admiration of all who know of his one-man battle for this impor- tant project Like most of the worthy citizens of Tacoma Mr. Garland's work is better known outside Tacoma than right at home. Tacoma’s tr: ditional petty jealousies have kept Mr. Gar- land from getting due recog ion for his un- selfish labors, but we, for one, lift our hat to this fine old gentleman and his great hobby the Road to Alaska And we suggest the name for the most scenic portion of when it is finished. Alaskans have long known that they have a friend in court in C. C. Garland, chairman of the Ala committee of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce. The Juneau Chamber of Commerce especially is aware of some of the excellent work he has done and is doing in pyshing Juneau and Alaska projects; " What' his own hcme town friends say of his efforts in behalf of the International Highway holds true Alaska air mail and countless other Alaska problem A salute from the northland to Mr. Garland. his light long s Gar this and Drive highway on May The much discussed wage and hour bill which was scheduled to be one of the outstanding pieces of business of the present special session of Congress appears to be holding up the procession, and influen- tial in delaying it ‘are reported to be various labor factions who are skeptical of placing power with Federal board to regulate such things. An insight on a few of the reasons why the measure seems to be smouldering but making no progress is found in a report of Louis Stark, political observer, writing from Washington to the New York Times. Mr. Stark writes: Out of the welter of confusion that marks the attitude of organized labor’s spokesman on the Black-Connery Wages and Hours Bill, which passed the Senate and is now languish- ing in the House Rules Committee, one fact stands out clearly—none of the labor spokes- men (AFL or CIO) has come out strongly in favor of the Senate bill at this time. William Green; president of the American Federation of Labor, approved the Senate version as a matter of expediency, hoping that the series of amendments which the House Labor Committee favored would set matters a I'he Housing Authority Gets Down to Bfisuiess tof buying a cat. ! pinch. THE DAILY ‘'ALASKAIEMPIRE, TUESDAY, DEC. 7, 1937, AL yis; chairman of the @om=: y Indiistlih1 f Orird fization, calld’tt a “puny” bill, but he accepts it, as he ‘wréte tos. ¢ Rebresentative Norton, because it would es- tablish the principle of Federal wage-and-hour regulation. The entire matter was taken out of Mr. Green’s hands by the recent Denver conven- tion of the federation and he was directed not to take any further action on the bill be- fore consulting the officers of the four depart- ments of the AFL, building, metal, label and railway. In advance of the conference to be called by Mr. Green, AFL legislative representatives have just held a meeting here to consider the federation’s legislative program. Although no official action could be taken at this meeting, it "was apparent that”the major sentiment of " the labor spokesmen present was in vigorous opposition to that provision of the Senate bill setting up a Fair Standards Labor Board which would fix minimum wage and maximum hour stapglards. o9 o . >R @2 fi\pclus to the m&(\rpfl faf gt Federal Stidards Béard wi§ given by riGeorge L.

Enforcement would be placed in the hands of the Department of Justice, through its local district attorneys. At the meeting of the AFL. legislative agents it was disclosed that Senator Berry's views had obtained wide acceptance in these quarters, The question now remains what will happen when Mr. Green convenes the executive council and the officers of the fed- eration's departments. As the latter have been opposed to the Senate version from the beginning it is assumed that they will con- tinue their fight against any House version which would continue the provision .for a board to fix minimum wages. In short, organized labor to a considerable extent does not trust to the discretion of any board to fix minimum wag and maximum hours, but prefers to have these standards fixed by Congr nd not delegated, as in the NRA codes. If the movement to recommit/the bil is successful, further hearings will be held in the House Labor Committee. At the hearings the argument that is likely to be advanced against the measure is that a Fair Standards Board States was born of parents, both of may i de the prerogatives of organized la- whom were born in Ireland? bor and fix minimum wages in fields in com- | 2.

(Philadelphia Record) Our deepest sympathies go out to the lovely lady of Hackensack, who found squirrels in her bedroom, and who, ever since, has been seeking legal means to get rid of them She would, she admits, like to shoot them, ever, under New Jersey law, one may squirrel without written permission from the New Jersey Fish and Game Commission. And mission is forthcoming only if it can be proved that the squirrels have committed “wilful destruction of property.” And, it seems, they haven't done that. What makes the problem even more complicated however, is that if Mlle. Hackensack does manage to get an O. K. from the Fish and Game Commission she then will have to get a permit from the city of Hackensack, to “carry” the firearm with which she proposes to shoot the squirrels. We can, of course, imagine brutal persons who would take the squirrels by their dear little necks and throw 'em out. They could be charged with “loiter- ing,” like labor leaders are.
