ArcticBrotherhood
Holds Meeting
A meeting of the Artcic Broth
erhood was held in the City Hall, j
8:00 p.m., Saturday evening. The
following 14 members were pres- j
ent: Vice Arctic Chief Joe Crab
tree, presiding; W. A. Boucher,
secretary; L. McCloy, Trustee; W.
H. Cameron, Guy Mish, Edw. Sei
denverg, A. Rydeen, Ira D. Orton,
Conrad Yenney, W. B. McCarthy,
A. Polet, Harold Bayne, John
Salon, and Chas. D. Jones.
Mr. Orton took the floor and
stated that the meeting had been
called for the express purpose of
turning the funds of the club over
to some organization which coulji
use the amount, (over $1000.00\
for a buliding fund.
Bro. Polet made a motion that
the funds be turned over to the
Pioneers of Alaska, and Bro. Or
ton seconded the motion. A dis
cussion then followed during
which time Mr. Orton recalled his
second to the motion, and made
another motion, that the funds be
turned over to the Arctic Club,
which is an organization more like
the Artcic Brotherhood than any
other. The vote which followed
was 10 to three in favor of the
motion. Vice Arctic Chief Crab
tree declared the motion carried.
The trustees were advised to
carry out the wishes of the
brotherhood, to make necessary ar
rangements for the transfer of the
funds. The meeting was ad
journed.
Direetor’slnitiative
Permits OPA To
Order Reductions
Four firms doing business in
Kodiak, Alaska, have felt the im
pact of the Alaska OPA’s newly
acquired authority to roll back
prices that are out of line, even
though they were high in that par
ticular community during the base
period, it was revealed today by
Mildred R. Hermann, Alaska Di
rector of the OP A.
This authority which is set up
in Revised Maximum Price Regu
lation 194, is known as the Direc
tor’s Initiative. It allows the OPA
Director to order reductions of
price lines upon the basis of sub
stantiated facts showing such ac
tion is needed. The action in the
Kodiak cases represents the first
use of this Director’s Initiative au
thority in Alaska. In making the
orders, which cover reductions on
certain lines of men’s and boys’
clothing, it is pointed out that
prices on these commodities had
advanced sharply in Kodiak in the
fall of 1941, owing to the unusual- !
ly heavy demand brought on by
the influx of war workers during
that period. This situation cre
ated inflated prices, which were
legal under Alaska’s price regu
lation, although much out of line
with prices generally prevalent.
The application of the Director’s
Initiative marks a significant ad
dition to the price control pro
gram in Alaska, the OPA pointed,
out. Further use of this authority
will iron out other price inequities
which have been subject to con
siderable criticism at other points
in the Territory.
