The | settlement is made on terms sug-| gested by the Administrator, General | Fleming, and will involve payment | to the employces of a sum estimated Lo be between $50,000 and $60,000. Period Involved “Formal notice wa erved on the company of the administrator’s-pres- ent interpretation, on December 13, 1940, and restitution is being made and approved by the Administrator from December 14, 1940, to and in- cluding April 30, 1941. “In view of conflicting interpre-! tations of the Wage-Hour Adminis- trator and the conflicting court de- ! cisions, apparently the only: way in which the company and its employ~ ees can be sure of their position is to put into effect a straight 40-hour week, This would result in smaller wéducticn, decreased earnings for the company, reduced taxes and di- minished payrolls, The company and the rgaining committee are now negotiating a new contract, in which, among other things, the Wage-Hour Administrator’s present orders must be taken into consideration.” UMMONS FOR PUBLICATION No. 4665A In the District Court for the Terri- tory of Alaska, Division Number One, Juneau.
