This is the section that would deny the 25 percent cost of living allowance to Federal employees resident or hired in Alaska The United States House of Representatives has already passed the appropriations bill without reme- dial action to delete this discriminatory section. Now the bill is in the hands of the Senate Appropriations Committee and unless prompt amendatory action is taken, there is danger that this vicious proposal may remain a part of it. Attempts to include a similar clause in the De- partment of Interior appropriation bill were defeated — record as unanimously opposing Section 407 of the 1952 Department of Agriculture appropriation bill which has passed the House It is grossly unfair legislation and contrary to American fair labor stan- dards No business man could hope to continue to operate if he.were to resort to such discrimination among the persons he employs. We \ehrmeuuy protest the inference that Alaskans are second clags citizens not entitled to the same shm-‘ dard of living as people imported from the States. There -is . no difference between Federal employees hired in Alaska and those brought from continental United States to work for the Government. Both groups live in the same type of homes, buy at the same stores. engage in the same kinds of recreation, educate their children in the same schools, and are subject -to. the -same environmental conditions. All residents, both-permanent and transitory, pay Feder: taxes at the selfsame rate—the rate paid in contin- ental United States . It is utterly ridiculous to assume that becaunse an employee was hired in Alaska he can live more cheaply than someone who was brought here to work for the Government. There is ho gquestion that the 25 percent cost of living allowance paid heretofore to Federal employees in the Territory is amply justified. The Department of Agriculture hag recognized this by paying 4 diffe- rential since 1924. Cost of living surveys have repeat- edly demonstrated that living costs are at least 25 percent higher in the areas of Alaska where expel are lowest: and’#Hé most recent Bureau of *Labor Statistics surveys shows that in the interior they are | 47 percent higher than Seattle. Private industry takes | cognizance of this by paying higher salaries than those prevailing in the States. These wages are based upon the wark performed, mot on the place where an em- ployee ‘was hired. The U.S. Army Enginers state that using Seattle | as a base, costs of construction in southeastern Alaska are 80 percent ovef Seattle, and as much as 280 percent greater on the Alaska Highway. Congress has gfanted to the Federal Housing Authority a diffepeRtial of 33% percent over conti- nental United! Wror building costs. This means that Federal émploy have to pay one-third more i for housing in A Aside- W}n]usuce of such a policy, eco- nomlcahm ~administration under this pro- posal Wln bo' ole.
