EIGHT HOURS
Considerable interest las been
manifesct recently in the act passed
by the last Legislature and gener
ally known as ti.e eight hour law.
This act goes into effect on the fir t
day cf January. It provides, among
other things, that “Employment as
herein used shall be construed as
** the performance of labor or services'
for any individual, partnership, as
sociation or corporation, whether
the person performing such labor or
service be a member of such part
nership or association or stockhold
cr or oPicer of such corporation or
not”.
The questoin has been raised as
to whether two partners going out
to work on a claim would be
amendable to this provision, and
thu5. be unable to work for a long
er period than eight hours in any
one calendar day. A local attorney
was asked his opinion with respect
to this provision effecting partners
where no additional labor was hired
and he pointed out that where twe
men go out and work on a mining
claim for their mutual benefit and
divide the proceeds that they would
be both working for the partnership
and thus be within the provision
and unable to work more than eight
hours a day.
The law, while it may work a
slight hardship in some instances,
was designej to pre\ent the l'cr
mr tion of “technical partnerships”
such rs flourished here in the past.
Unscrupulous employers, in order
to take out >f the hide'of the
worker enough additional labor to
make profitable tlie operation of
low grade ground, rounded up all
the men they needed, coerced them
into ligr.int, a technical partnership
agreement, whereby the men never
could recover more than standard
wages regardless of the productiv
ity of the ground, worked the
“partners” long hours, and there
by defeated the general object to be
attained by the statute, to-wit; the
prevention of all wage and salary
earneis working more than eight
hours in any one calendar day.

eral measures to this end, namely,
the establishment of cousuls-gen
eral at New York, San Francisco
and Chicago, consult at Boston and
New Orleans atfci some GO honorary
consular positions at places where
tiler are 1000 to 1500 Greeks.
The project also provides for a
national fund to be administered
by the Greek Legation at Washing
ton D. C. “Thi. national fund
will be used,’ saiil the Minister,
“to aid the societies looking afte,
immigrants arriving n America, it
will ass.'sc in founding schools,
_k__-_
churches, benefit soceties and or
ganizations for the spread of Greek
literature and fine arts.”
There was great applause in the
Chamber when the Minister refer
red to emending Greek art and li
terature in America as it was the
first suggestion that Greece could
furnish America something more
than toiling masses. It appealed
i trengly to the national pride,
which considers Greece as the
birthplace of art and literature, and
rather resents the idea that cheap
iabor is what Greece is chiefly con
tributing to America.
The public generally will be
pleased to learn that the mail on
board the White Bear has been re
ccvered. This mail contained, in
addition to a large quantity of gold
bullion, numerous checks cashed by
businessmen in Council. In many
instances the endorsers of these
checks had gone out on the last
boats and considerable cash was
tied up (hereby which would other
wise have been available to the
Councilites. However the recovery
of the mail solves the difficulty.
The following telegram was received
yesterday afternoon from St. Mi
chael by Charles Ross:
“Recovered mail. Turned over to
postmaster here. Am I supposed to
bring it to Nome.
HECKLA.”
In answer to this wire Mr. Ross
wired back as follows:
“Heckla, St. Michals.
Turn mail over to Postmaster St.
Michael. Regular will bring it in.
People of Nome appreciate your ef
fort. ROSS.”
Mr. Ross "states that with good
going the mail, leaving St. Michaels
Tuesday, will arrive here in about
ten days. Mr Koss is Unstinted in
his praise of the courage and in
genity displayed by Heckla and his
crew in saving the mail, it is not
known at this as to whether he will
i be able to rescue the boat or any
! of its tackle or machinery from its
perilous positioii.
