Alaskan Firms Should
File Voluntary Wage
Adjustment Forms
SEATTLE, July 12—Assurance
that War Labor Board enforce
ment work in Alaska will be con
ducted with due regard for any J
extenuating circumstances which
are admissible under the wage sta-1
bilization policies of the WLB was 1
received here today by John W. j
Clark of Neill Clark & Co., public
accountants, Fairbanks, Alaska.
Clark, representing business
firms in Fairbanks, received this
assurance in an informal confer
ence with Dr. George Bernard
Noble, chairman of the 12th Re
gional Board, Harold A. Seering,
vice chairman, and other board
officials.
Pointing out to members of the
Board the difficulties and prob
lems faced by many Alaska firms
in bringing their programs into j
line with the WLB wage stabiliza- j
tion policies, Clark declared that
many of the firms find themselves
in unintentional violation of WLB
policies because of lack of knowl
edge in the Territory of the pro
per procdures and forms to be fol
lowed.
Dr. Noble assured Clark that all
such factors would be taken into
consideration and advised that all
Alaskan firms which have not al
ready done so file voluntary forms
for wage adjustments immediate
ly.
“This voluntary filing in itself
will be evidence of the firm’s good
faith and will be taken into ac
count in any resulting action,”
Dr. Nobl esaid.
If the initial ruling or enforce
ment action in any wage adjust
ment case is felt to be unfair, the
firm may appeal the decision, Dr.
Noble pointed out.
Bartlett Says
Alaskans Not
Dependent People
WASHINGTON, July 13—(/P)—
There’s no intention to classify the j
people of Alaska, Hawaii and
Puerto Rico as dependent under
the San Francisco charter says
Delegate Bartlett in a statement
in the Congressional Record.
Bartlett said a New York news
paper article had given the im
pression that the United Stages
would have to report to the United
Nations the condition of the Ter
riories.
Senator Vandenberg “has re
jected any interpretation of the
language of the charter which
would classify residents of the ter
ritories as dependent peoples.”
Alaskan residents are residents
of the United States in the same
sense as residents of the States,
said Bartlett.
