Two Engineer* Are Now on the Way
to Nenim to Help Build
Our Railroad.
Herbert K. Ward, a locating en
gineer from the Anchorage division,
is on his way to Xenana over the
Broad Pass trail. He is bringing 25
head of horses with him for work
on this division. Mr. Ward will
be employed in rehabilitating the
Tanana Valley Railroad principally
and will also assist on the main line
from Xenana, as there is a great
shortage of civil engineers here now.
The rehabilitation of the T. V.
R. R. will consist in putting the line
in shape so that a heavier and better
type of locomotives and rolling stock
can be used. It may also be neces
sary to make line changes.
The several bridges, trestles and
culverts on the T. V. R. R. will also
be gone over thoroughly and reno
vated. Many of these structures will
probably be entirely rebuilt. Mr.
Ward left Anchorage for Xenana on
the 6th, and should arrive here
shortly.
Mr. J. J. Kestley. who will be
resident engineer on this division,
left Seattle for Xenana and will ar
rive here shortly. He has five men
in the party with him, all of whom
are either over or under the draft
age.
8-HOUR LAW SUSPENDED TO
RUSH ALASKAN RAILROAD
Executive Order
Under authority contained in act
of Congress approved March 4, 1917
(39 Stat., 1192), wherein it is pro
vided :
That in case of national emerg
ency the President is authorized to
suspend provisions of law prohibiting
more than eight hours' labor in any
one day of persons engaged upon
work covered by contracts with the
United States: Provided, further,
that the wages of persons employed
on a basic day rate of eight hours'
work with overtime rates to be paid
for at not less than time and one
half for all hours of work in excess
of eight hours, it is hereby ordered
that during the present national
emergency the provision of law limit
ing the hours of daily service of
mechanics and laborers to eight hours
in any one day, on work under con
tracts to which the United States
is a party are suspended with re
spect to contracts in connection with
the construction and maintenance
of the Alaskan Railroad now being
built and operated by the United
States under the act of Congress
approved March 12, 1914 (38 Stat.,
305)’ wages and overtime rates to
be computed and paid in the manner
provided by said act of March 4.
1917, supra.
WOODROW WILSOX,
The White House, July 10, 1918.
The above refers to the suspen
sion of the 8-hour law so far as
work done by contractors for the
Alaskan Engineering commission is
concerned and does not effect the
working force on the pay rolls of
the Commission.
The regular Commission employees
can be worked overtime only in cases
of emergency, this being construed
to mean that the emergency must be
great and imminent, such as in cases
where life and property have to be
saved from fire and flood.
