STRIKES AND BUSINESS RECOVERY
 GO HAND IN HAND

In the dark cloud that hangs over Alaska and the Pacific Coast result of the maritime strike it is sometimes difficult to glimpse silver lining But if one look around or oyer the immediate problem that each of us has for moment there is some solace meager it may seem at time when get notice of the postponeent of yet another food ship to the Territory in the fact that strikes through the years the of improved general business conditions. rs
 Strikes normal phenomena of recovery" Improved business, bringing with it rising profits as has been the condition in the nation during the last 12 to 18 months, usually increase in industrial disturbances particularly when accompan- jed by rising prices It is at such times the records of the years will show that labor moves to retam better living standards and increased earnings Labor Department report reveals that is the history of the nation since 1881 when strikes first of notable import in industrial life. As the busi- ness barometer moves up, industrial unrest grows as everyone seeks the goal of increased income
 The present situation is not unsimilar to cond- tons the years in that respect. Business moved up during the past fall months until it reached almost to boom time proportions and did reach that peak in some instances. Steel is typical example. The latest report of Business Week reveals that the steel industry has been acked up 792 per cent of capa city and plants working top speed to fill orders taken old prices boost in price is forecast. II IS Tn the SLeel Industry dDOr IS iHOVulS right now improve its condition and also to union- ze the industry. similar situation is apparent in the automobile industry and in more general way in the maritime strike, although in the latter the major apparent point is hiring preference which sinners down to an open and closed shop issue.
 And while the industrial history of the country reveals that strikes follow business uplift it also shows that these conditions without exception have adjusted They will be adjusted in the present trouble The railroad strike difficulties of the past settled in large measure through the formation of the National Mediation Board which has had an important role in putting the railroad industry back it's feet. It may be that such action will be the step necessary for settlement of the marine inoustrys difficulties. Whatever the action, it is an industrial fact that such controversies the present have been settled in the past and they will be in this instance
 With that settlement if history repeats itself and it rarely fails to do SO will improved sta- bilized general business condition throughout the land; era of well-beng and prosperity in which Alaska is destined to share more than the States because the Territory has of the natural re- sources which boundless development.

BUSINESS ATTITUDE CHANGED

As Congress swings into session again to Wrestle with of the problems facing the nation one change stands out in bold relief from the situation prevailing at the last two Congresses. That is the entirely different attitude that business has taken toward the Administration since the November 3 election Instead of the out and out battle which has been in progress since l933 big business eXecu- tives have at last declared their intention to CO., operate. Rather than taking the Administration to task they did in their previous annual sessions, they have accepted the attitude of what can we do to further better s'tua ion fer al Of us?n
 This keynote was sounded at the recent sessions ot National Association of Manufacturers and at the Third Council for Industrial Progress.
 The manufacturers went on record wi.h dec aration Of principles for American industry, callnc for Of good feeling a@d co-cpera on. w h th government. They vent far considering their previous attitude suggest furtherng some of the most sociaward aims of the administration A year ago they had declared open warfare on the New Deal
 The industrial council advocated a re-nstituton of the basic principles Of the MIRA and suggested operation with government all along the line It was in marked contrast with the groups ses- sion of year when broke up in confusion with the words lie" and liars" re-echoing from the members.
 The recent actions of these powerful groups does not necessarily mean that they are going to see eye to eye with every plan may the present session of Congress it does forecast that spirit of cooperation is going to be evident where here tofore it was only direct against everything and anything offered by the present Administration
 With the very serious problem of unemployment and other important matters on which hinges the welfare of the nation up before the Congress it bodes well that spirit of cooperation in evi- dence rather than the antagonism of the past It

There Must Be a Cure

 Estimates of the cost of the West Coast maritime tieup should focus attention upon the terrific loss suffered by the nation result of strike which could have been avoided had counsels of reason pre- vailed at the start they must finally at the finish.
 Shp-owners estimate the overall cost of the strike to date between $31 750000 and $350000 000 and the current loss to Pacific business and marl- time strikers approximately $7,25O,OOO per day.
 The estimates, which do not unreasonable in view of the extent of the economic obstruction, cover period of only month and half. On that basis it will readily be that the loss figured on the basis of year mounts into billions of dollars A daily loss of $7 250000 would mean in a years time, over two and half billions-not far from the which the Federal Government expended to relieve nationwide depression distress
 The public which in the long is the victim of the strike bear the oss the suffering and the inconvenience of the te-up yet largely is ignorant of it's terms and causes.
 Just two years ago a maritime strike paralyzed West Coast shipping for three months It that if strike could prove anything the 1884 e-up would have proved it. At this distance particularly, 1t ap pears highly doubtful if the possible ultimate con- sessions could be worth anything like the cost.
 The West Coast maritime tie-up illustrates, large scale both the desrabity and the necessity of hitting method whereby such costly periods of industrial paralysis be avoided. The method in most cases, only the of substituting reason for pgheadedness before the latter trans sands of people inconvenienced and suffering.

Alaska Fur Experimental Fur Station
Seattle Fur JournaD

O0N---~
 The Daily Alaska Empire recently carried story that assistant regional forester Welman Holbrook told the Chamber of Commerce the fox farmers in William Sound area are having hard time of it and most of them unable to make a living. What the trouble has not been revealed and he stressed the need for experimental farm to study the sub ect and otherwise assist the industry in the north
 There is nothing startling about this. It just happened that MT Holbrook in the course of duties visited some of the islands in the Chugach National Forest area leased from the forest service by fox farmers and found that the boys are having tough time probably could not pay lease money and beset with other and more serious problems.
 This same thing has been happening all over the Territory The farmers have been crying their heads off for the last ten years and not even the last means they faded out of business have had any effect upon those who are supposed to be looking after the welfare of Alaska.
 lot of public money is being spent in the Terri tory for various purposes and it is all right for Alaska to get share while it is being lavishly smeared al over the country. In the hand out the fur farmer wants share to help carry on research and experimental work necessary and beneficial to his industry, but he is not getting it. There is abso- uely doubt to the necessity but in the annual divvy of funds the fur men are not present Where is he and what's the matter?
 To football picture, every fellow in the game knows what's the trouble no team work and no coach Sporadic attempts have been made to organ ize and some good starts occurred, but they failed to develop workable body and fzzed out. There nas been too much sitting around the hot stove and talk ing about doing this and that and not enough of working hard and consistently at what they all know is necessary and good
 Alaska should be the greatest fur producing country in the world instead of trailing the procession Surely, the Territory needs experimental fur farm, and any time it's fur really want it to the extent of organizing to get it they will have it. It may take time but it will come. Washington needs research and experimental work for it's fur farmers they are after it and going to get it.
 It's often a rocky road to good places All our roads rocky otherwise impossible at one time but they are being smoothed out and made usabe. This not done by sitting down and feel ling sorry for ourselves. We know this down here and you do up there.
