DAILY ALASKA FMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA Jobs this summer have not had the turnover experienced in the past, according to many employers, which has created more employment sta- bility. The seasonal nature of much Al- askan industry is obvious from the following Employment Service rec- ords for Juneau since the first of the year: 3 January, 1949—500 male unem- ployed actively seeking work. August 15, 1949—13 male unem- ployed actively seeking work. Year-round employment in this vicinity is for the large part con- centrated in Federal and Territor- ial positions and in the service and trade establishments of the town.

The maximum in the states is $9 per day. Bartlett also was informed that the Senate has passed and sent to/ President Truman the bill repeal- ing the so-called Alaska Fund Act. For many years, under this mea- sure, business licenses n Alaska have been collected by Clerks of District Courts, turned over to the Treasury and appropriated out by Congress for special activities. Assuming the President's signa- ture, the Alaska Business License Act, Chapter 43, passed by the 1949 Territcrial Lez'slature becomes ef- fective. This measure sets up a schedule of license fees effective January 1.

Approximately 12 more are lined up for work in another mill in this area. Gissberg remarked that the weatherman has also been very co- operative.
