CRISIS LOOMING HERE
 NEXT MONDAY
Federal Union Members Say Tradesmen Will Walk
 Out If CIO Work

The fires of this city's localized CIO-AFL dispute famed higher to- day following the meeting of Fed eral Labor Union members last night and the announcement that Monday is the deadline, on which day carpenters, plumbers and other tradesmen will march off all Ju- neau jobs where CIO union card holders are employed at common labor" according to the statement this afternoon of Ward McAlister, Secretary of the body
 Charles Hardy, Secretary of the Industrial union local, CIO, said today: We are moving card holders in McAlister's outfit off the jobs, and putting in men with our cards. We have jurisdiction They have not
 McAlister said: "Our charter is still in good standing. We had a wire from Washington to that ef- feet and jurisdiction here is ours. For the present we have no bones to pick with contractors. We have signed agreements for a number of months as yet on the Twentieth Century work of Dishaw's and the Boyer Jensen job across the chan nel for 75 cents an hour, with 48- hour week.
 The Industrial local, CIO, asked contractors for shorter hours and higher wages.
 On the Baranof Hotel construc- ton job, common labor is now being paid 90 cents an hour for an eight hour day and thirty-hour week, in verbal agreement with the CIO group, it was stated No changes have been made yet in hours and wage schedule on the Twentieth Century Theatre project.
 Federal Labor Union secretary McAlister said today: We signed several more members last night and we will sign more tonight. We have the backing of the Building Trades Council in this thing and we're going to have a showdown. :"
 Contractors today are between the devil and the deep blue sea, as one timekeeper put it. If trades men, AFL, walk off the several local building projects Monday. work will naturally be shut down" If CIO is "discriminated again {" as Charles Hardy put it, other equally paralyzing action will take place
 If we don't get fair break with employers" Hardy said, and CIO gets a dirty deal, we'll get in touch with the Maritime sub-district council and see that construction materials are labeled hot cargo. How does a man build without ma terials?"
 At the Federal Labor Union meet ing in the City Council Chambers last night, Mitchell Rocovich pre- sided. Ward McAlister was Secretary and several men declared them selves backing AFL action, includ- ing Charles Crozier, former active labor leader in Juneau when he was Financial Secretary of Local POS Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers.

a 300-fOtt right-Of-way. providing not less
than four lanes of traffic for passenger and
freight vehicles He thinks that a moderate
toll will make the construction feasible
without loss TO the Federal government.
Such system of highways would be OF
enormous economic value TO the people OF
the United States and a vital elemen. IN
the defense OF the country in the evept OF

actions Of the country and promote the
equitable development OF the areas that
make up sentimental United States.
II seems 10 US that if the nation under
takes such project some means should be
found TO acquire sufficient land on both
sides of the highways TO control develop

or sales. secure much of the profit that viii
