Smith then referred to a trip made by McCutcheon to An- chorage and Haas said at t‘he time there was a case pending at the Evan Jones mine. Smith queried him as to whether or not he thought it required McCutcheon spending three months in Anchor- age and Haas said he did.

Mr. Roden then asked, why in 1942, in October, it was necessary to have extra help and Mr. Haas replied that the employees had re- mained. “What did they do?” Mr. Roden asked, and Haas replied “they did any work there was. to be done.” Asked whether he could specify any specific inspections made by the inspectors at this time, Haas said he could not, but that there were many headaches in labor at this time when men were dissatisfied with the results of their work How Come Senator Cochran asked what the Department of Labor had to do with such problems. Haas then said: “Well, say three men worked on a boat and one was not satis- fied with the way the shares had been divided. We would say we would try to get them together.” Senator Cochran asked if a wo- man had gone to the Department of Labor and said her husband had beaten her up, would that be ithe business of the Department of Labor. Haas replied that if he could help he would try. Mr. Roden then said: “There weren't any fishermen quarrelling in December were there?” Haas stated: “If you want specific cases youwll have to see the records.” “Where are the records?” Roden asked, and Haas said there should be records. Records Taken Mr. McCain asked Mr. Haas re- |ganflng the latter's testimony that he had removed records concerning the Wage and Hour Division and asked if they were accessible for the committee and Haas said they were available. McCain asked if they were the only records Haas had taken from the office and Haas said they were. There was considerable discus- |sion regarding the Wage and Hour Division and Haas brought out |that while he was Commissioner of Labor, he acted as Wage and Hour representative at a dollar a year, that he was never paid. Walker’s Trip Referring to A. P. Walker's trip to the southern end of the divis- ion just prior to the primary elec- tion, Senator Cochran asked Haas was in Juneau at_the time. Haas replied that he was and re- membered the trip. Senator Cochran asked if Mr. Walker had gone to investigate la- bor conditions, which in the com- munities visited were primarily concerned with fishing. Haas said ithat there were lumber mills, a also, but admitted that fishing was the primary interest. Asked why Walker had been sent on the trip, Haas said he was to ascertain what labor problems ex- ited and acquaint the: people with the duties of the Department of Labor. Mr. Roden asked if Haas had sent Walker, and Haas replied that he had. Asked if he had sent political material with Walker, Haas -said he had not. “Did you know he took political material with him?” Haas sald: “I'did not.” The cost of the trips was established at about $800. Senator Cochran asked if Walker inspected anything and Haas re- plied that he had inspected a dock at Petersburg, which brought the exclamation from Senator Cochran, “What in the world is there to in- spect a dock at Petersburg?” Haas said it was in bad condition, that working men had to use it and they were interested in their safe- ty. It was also pointed out that steamers use the same dock. Rep. Smith asked if Haas schooled the inspectors before they were sent out and Haas said he did. Smith then asked if Walker was an apt pupil and Haas said he believed him average. “Was he schooled in the Mini- mum Wage Law,” asked Smith and Haas replied that he was.
