MEET ON CODE
I The following telegram was re
ceived last Monday by District
Attorney Hugh O'Neill from E. 3.
Mathews of Seattle, prominent in
mining interests of Nome and
Candle, requesting mining opin
ions for forming a mining code
tinder the NRA:
TELEGRAM:
“National Recovery Administra
tion has instructed gold producers
to formulate code for gold min
ing industry. Meeting in New
York, April 16rh, to consider a
basic code. Most important fea
ture of such code will be wage
schedules and limitation of hours.
Necessary to have some authoris
ed representative of sitVall Alaska
operators to explain Alaska con
ditions in order that Code will
not work undue hardships on us.
Small Alaska producers now in
Seattle have selected Att. James
Frawley to represent them in
presenting tentative Code. Believe
it very desirable if you will dis
cuss this with operators in the
Nome district and have them
send Frawley joint telegram sign
ed by all available operators
[there about as follows: 'The un
dersigned gold producers operat
ing in the Nome district of Alas
jka hereby authorize Mr. James j
Frawley to represent them in the,
! preparations of a tentative draft
of a Code of fair competition for
I the gold mining industry. It Is
understood that 'this authoriza
tion does not bind the undersign
ed to accept or approve the Code
ia.s drawn. The undersigned pro
duced a total of approximately
blank ounces of gold in 1932 and
jblank ounces of gold in 1933.’
jYour cooperation and a prompt
reply will be appreciated."
j The telegram was subsequently
turned over to the Nome Cham
ber of Commerce Mining Commit
tee, resulting in a meeting called
j by them at the Federal Court
House last Wednesday evening,
where both large and small min
ing operators discussed hours and
wages for the coming year.
| It was agreed by all present
that due to the ^eondi!ions of min
!in" in this part of the territory
jit would be advisable to continue
'as, closely as possible to the
hours Which prevailed last year,
and if any concessions are to he
made in accordance with the
NRA p:V'ey, they would be in the
form of increased wages or a
1 bonus. • , v
F-Tutor James Frawley was also
selected by those present to rep
resent the Interests of the min-1
ing operators of this district.
