Approximately seven weeks will be
spent this summer in Alaska investi
gations by Senators Norbeck and
Walcott, members of the Senate’s
wild life committee, according to un

Islands and from Seward to F air
banks, and probably Nome.
The committeemes will accompany
Commissioner Henry O’Malley of the

' summer trip. They will be accompa

In addition to the former wage
scale, the men asked fo ran overtime

overtime. The new scale runs from
Sl.iO to S6 per day.
