 A general airing of the present trouble in the building trades was given at the Sunday afternoon meeting, charges and counter charges being hurled during the debate which for the most part took on national complexion center ed around the controversy between AFL and CIO throughout the country. Spokesmen of various trades groups in Juneau brought out that AFL had through the years dominated the building trades industry and that it's position at this time was to maintain that
  vading an already organized field when it attempted to enter the building trades and arguing that this was contrary to principles laid down originally by the Committee for Industrial Organization, the an- nounced plan of which was to or ganze only unorganized industry Main bone of contention appear cd to center around the employ ment of common laborers on the building jobs in Juneau, the AFL men contending they could net work with CIO laborers as their organization would not permit them to do SO
 It was declared the Central Labor Council was organized here under AFL charter and it was alleged that CIO had "chiseled into this group where it was claimed to have no standing.
 Several men appearing from their remarks to have CIO connections were heard but none of the lead CTS of the movement here spoke. c. H.

fill those waiting for them, was almost solely responsible for the sorry response made to the Relief Committee. Once work is resumed, jobs are filled, and men go back to work, the task of taking care of the unemployed and the other needy will not be neglected by Ju- neau.
 Works Both Ways
 The committee further pointed out that the tie-up works two ways.
 "Stoppage of building materials and construction supplies naturally force craftsmen, who belong to AFL unions, out of work since they have nothing to work on if they cannot get materials and supplies. On the other hand CIO unions manufacture the materials and sup plies that are used by AFL crafts men in constructing buildings. CIO truck drivers haul them and CIO longshoremen load and unload them from ships.
 Nationally, the interdependency of the two rival groups has been recognized in the building indus try. Since early last summer they have cooperated to the end that the revival of building construction might not be hampered. The result has been increased employment in steel mills, iron manufacturing plants, all the heavy industries, and in all the building craft unions. Hundreds of thousands of men have been taken off relief and put on regular payrolls.
 Tn a lesser way this happened in Juneau. From June to the be- ginning of the current tie-up, there were few idle workmen in the city. Juneau has experienced it's biggest building year. There is stil plenty of work left for the winter sea- son. Unless it is performed, unless

payrolls are refilled and the issu- ance of pey-checks resumed, it will not be possible for the community to supply the needs of unem- ployed.
 That is the dilemma, the com mittee declared, which confronts the city We do not feel that the contestng groups are so far apart that they cannot settle this trouble amicably. It is the hope of the committee to be able to assist in this settlement. The pont has been reached where the people of the community cannot ignore the sit uation any longer" the statement concluded.

Two hundred persons crowded the waterfront this afternoon to watch firemen extinguish a blaze in the cabin of a 26-foot trolling boat be- longing to Japanese John Fugimori, at the upper City Float. The alarm from Box r was sounded at 2;25 o'clock
 Evidently starting from a faulty stove, the blaze smouldered for some time evidently, before gasboat men noticed smoke issuing from the locked cabin.
 Spectators got a mild thrill when smoke turned to flame just before firemen got water on the blaze, ex- pecting an explosion momentarily. Extent of the damage was con- fined to badly burned interior of the craft.
