LABORERS PAID

CANNERY EMPLOYES ARRIVE IN
SEWARD AND UNABLE TO
CASH THEIR CHECKS
IS AGAINST THE LAW
New Law Requires Help Be Paid Off
in Cash or With Checks on
Banks in Alaska
Among the recent arrivals in Sew
ard from westward points where they
have been employed in the canneries,
were nine men, all of wrhom brought
fairly good sized checks issued by the
company by whom they were employ
ed, but payable by Seattle banks. Due
to the fact thaf in times past Seward
merchants have lost out on numerous
checks of this kind, no business man
in the city would cash these checks
when they were presented and as a
natural result the former cannery em
ployes have experienced much diffi
culty .in getting their money.
Under advisement of a local hotel
man the men were informed that ac
cording to Chapter 45, under the Ter
ritorial Statute Laws of 1925, the law
law provides that all labor in Alaska
be paid monthly in cash or with
checks drawn on and payable to Alas
kan banks. Failure so to do subjects
the payor to a penalty of $1,000.
The matter was taken up with a lo
cal attorney who took the case in
hand and upon telegraphing to the
Seattle banks on which the checks
were drawn received the assurance
from one of them that the bank would
hold sufficient monies to cover the
amount issued in the checks. Another
telegram from Seattle was to the ef
fect that they would not certify or
guarantee checks by telegraph, but
only upon presentation of checks to
their bank.
In the meantime the men have lost
considerable time and gone to much
expense and are still waiting for their
money. It is stated the matter will
be taken up with the district attorney
with the view of forcing the compa
nies to observe the law*.
