 Poster Contest
Special to The DemOcraN

Washington, D. C.. May 23.-Of- flcials of the post office department, and of the American Airlines, will cooperate with employees of the post office in Hartford and Senator Augustine Lonergan CD Connecti- cut, in program of activities here next week in honor of Robert Kelly age fourteen, of Hartford who was runner-up to the winner of the pos- ter contest of National Air Mail Week.
 Announcement was made today by Senator Lonergan that arrange ments have keen made by the Am erican Airlines to bring young Kelly from Hartford to Washington by plane on Thursday as their guest. Expenses after arrival in Washington will be the gift of en- ployes of the Hartford post office, and arrangements have been made by the officials of the post office department to join Senator Loner- gan in meeting the plane and to arrange for tour of the city, which may also include a ride in the Goodyear blimp, flying over Wash ington.
 Although Washington has been busy this week entertaining win ners of various air mail week con- tests, from all parts of the country. including youthful movie stars from Hollywood, it is probable that Hart lords hcnored youth will outdo most of them in seeing Washington as 1t should be seen. The Lindbergh plane. first to cross the Atlantic, now To- cated in the Smithsonian Institution here, and numerous other places of interest, will be placed on Roberts itinerary.

 Statement
 "The walkout was merely an eX- pression of sympathy for those workmen who, after weeks of em- ployment in building construction jobs. had been discharged because they were affiliated with a CIO un- ion.
 This temporary Walkout was our only way to express our condemna- ton of the action of certain indivi- duals in furnishing trucks. manned by men whose recent arrival in town gives them no right to walk through the picket line and take work from our men who have lived in this town for years and most of them paying taxes.
 Recognize Its Seriousness
 We recognize the seriousness of tying up all transportation in the community. With deliveries of such necessities as food, including milk, coal and oil, many women and chil- dren would be made to suffer for something with which they had no connection. Our walkout yesterday was an expression of sympathy for our fellow townsmen, fellow Ameri- cans and union affiliates who had been summarily fired solely because they happened to belong to the wrong" union.
 We have expressed our feeling in the matter in the strongest man. ner possible. Today we went back to work as usual, at the same pay and for the same hours that pre- vailed when we quit.
 System Is Un-A American
 We believe that any system that forces any American out of a job, where he is giving satisfaction, just because he doesn't belong to par ticular union or isn't affiliated with some special kind of national labor organization, is un-American. We believe, further. that Juneau is too small a community to have to suffer from such tactics
 We are confident that the real residents of Juneau, those who have homes, interests and ties here, can live together, work together and prosper together.
 Freed from outside influences we will have no further difficulties. And to this end. we of the Trans port Workers Union pledge our selves.
 Endcrse Committee Plan
 "The plan evolved by the Special Labor Committee yesterday, which
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-12-01

calls for the employment of all common labor through a municipal relief committee, without regard for union utilization, was unanimously endorsed by the transport workers. We accept the plan in principle and urge it's immediate adoption. We believe it will solve the problem of jurisdiction which now has a mil lion dollar building program tied up and is keeping men hungry while jobs go begging"
 The Special Labor Committee is sued the following statement this afternoon:
 ''The Citizens Committee, ap- pointed at last Sundays mass meet ing and acting with the authoriza- ton of the Mayor and the Con- mon Council to settle the present labor controversy, is still hopeful of reaching a successful mediation of the controversy. The Committee at present is Investigating several controversial questions involved in the controversy and is seeking cor roborative information as to them. "

 Any prediction as to who will pile up the most points is out of the question: Observers believe this years set of teams are as perfectly balanced as one could make them.
 Shooting eyes are getting their range and defenses are tightening up, but perhaps the incest thing to watch tonight will be that zone defense of the Henning Five and the driving power of the big Hai- da aggregation, bucking the heavy scoring attacks of the Elks and KrauSe.
