RECEIVED FROM GOVERNOR STRONG;
VIA YESTERDAY’S MAIL
^GOVERNOR’S LETTER etc
January 12, 1918.
Messrs. Andrew Beck, and
A1 Braten,
Nome, Alaska.
Dear Sirs:
, 1 fcjeg to acknowledge
receipt of your communication with
reference to the suspension of the
provisions of chapter 55, Session
Laws of Alaska, 1917, commonly
known as the 8-hour law. It is
noted that the wage workers ot
Nome, in open mass-meeting, em
phatically opposed any such suspen
sion.
In reply I have to advice you that
it is not my purpose at this time
to recommend a general suspension
of the 8-hour law, inasmuch as it
received the strong approval of the
people of Alaska when submitted as
a referendum, and was passed by
the unanimous vote of the members
of the legislature. You are advised
that the provisions of the law have
been modified so far as the produc
tion of foodstuffs is concerned, and
it is possible that it may be extended
to the production of material that
is absolutely needed for war pur
poses.
1 may add that I am opposed to
the general suspension of the law
so far as the mining industry is
concerned and other industries that
have no immediate bearing upon
the production of war materials.
Yours very truly,
J. F. A. Strong.
Governor.
