The Wrangell sentinel., 1938-07-29

Last week as the flagship Of the Stikine river fleet backed slowly away from the Wrangen dock the passengers and crew were thrilled by the demonstration of enthusiastic well wishers and see-er offers who thronged the wharf
 As q farewell gesture, Captain Hill Harrington blew three kisses to the crowd on the whistle Of tue Hazel B No. The effect was star ting. The roar of three mighty blasts from the departing steamer North Coast answered and had barely subsided when three piercing shrieks from the ARB cannery sounded. These were followed im- mediately by three wierd squeaks from the vicinity Of the Reliance Shrimp eannery which we decided were from either Neil Grant himselI or one Of his shrimps, wishing us bon voyage. All in all it was a most resounding send off.

 With ever increasing interest the proposed Alaska-British Columbia highway project gathers momentum as preliminaries for this huge un- dertaking get under way.
 It is a foregone conclusion that this road will pierce the bad lands of the Cassiar following Dease Lake, striking the Yukon and finally out through Dawson. Even as this is be- ing written a Geological Survey man working for the Canadian Gov ernment is inside working over the exact route the highway will fol- low.
 The effect of the construction of the highway will be beneficial to WrangelI due to the transportation of heavy freight materials and equipment which must necessarily pass through the port of WrangeII to Telegraph Creek. Add to this the very great possibility of some miner striking a bonanza soon in the gold bearing fields of the Muddy river and adjacent districts, leads us to believe that Wrangell and the Sti- kine river may once again exper- fence the stampede of '9S.

 DEFICIT OF $4,0OO,0O0

L0NDON-The Secretary for the Colonies was asked in the House of Commons yesterday why it was ne- cessary to budget for such a large deficit in Newfoundland, $4,00O.- 900. He replied that the fishing in dustry was badly hit by a duty placed on fish by Brazil which was the principal market for their cod fish and that the trade recession in the United States had very seriously affected their pulp and paper in dustry.

COVERS MANY FIELDS

Since that meeting half a century ago seven Pan American conferenc- es have dealt with an increasing variety of subjects like commerce and finance; communications and transportation; intellectual and cul- tural relations; public health and social welfare; arbitration, concilia- ticn, and qualification of interna- tional laW-to name few.
 Most important was the Buenos Aires gathering in Decembct, 1936, to consider ways of strengthening the peace machinery. Out of it grew the principle of joint respon- sibility of ALL American govern ments for the maintenance Of peace in the Western Hemisphere.
 With these international con- claves of American governments has grown the Pan American Union, as a permanent headquar- ters for inter-American affairs.
 From it's start as commercial bureau 1t has broadened it's activj- ties to keep up with international developments until it now handles the agendas of the general Pan American conferences and of some Of the special gatherings.

ALASKA ROAD
 '. FARLEY HELD
Seattle Post st-Intelligencer)


 The day is not distant when automobiles bearing license plates from Maine to California will be seen among the virgin forests and in the once remote mining camps along the Yukon River and Alas kans will hop in cars for an outing trip to Seattle. This was the conviction express , ed in Seattle yesterday by Dr. Ernest Greuing, United States Di- rector of the Division of Territories and Island Possessions and member of the Alaska International High way Commission.
 President Roosevelt named him member of the road commission several weeks ago when the latter was in Alaska inspecting the Mata- nuska colony.
 Holds Conference
 He extended his stay there to make a study of various Alaska pfoblems, including the highway, and on his arrival here yesterday 7 he went into conference with Con gressman Warren G. Magnuson, chairman of the American section of the international commission.
 "The building of the highway will be one of the great achievements of this generation Dr. Gruening said "The cost of the project will . be mere drop in the bucket com pared to the tremendous benefits it will bestow upon Alaska, Canada and the United States, particularly heeState of Washington and the Pacific Northwest.
 Commission to Confer
 Aside from it's economic value, the highway will be potent factor in international relations. It will be - further tangible evidence of the unique and whole-hearted good neighborliness that makes the rela- tions between the governments and peoples of Canada and the United States a stirring example to all the world"
 Dr. Gruening declined to discuss the proposed routes he studied dur ing his Alaska trip asserting It would be poor taste to make any announcement until the Canadian commissioners and those from the United States get together to study the project.
 nPfemier Pattullo of British Co., lumbia is said to be in Ottawa to secure the appointment of the Can adian delegation.
 q Majestic Scenery
 No matter what route is chosen, the highway will open what l be- lieve is the most majestic scenic .eppire in the world" Dr. Gruen!ng said. "Thousands will come from : all over the world to see spectacle that will be unrivalled in lis s7eaic grandeur"

Destruction of Union Sought

BY its acts, the decision states, in
unmistakable terms that it was pre-
pared to go to extreme lengths to
destroy the union and to deny TO its
employees the rights guaranteed in
the act. :. The whole history of the
company's unfair labor practices, cul-
minating in this lockout on May 20,
had placed the union in position
where it had to fight for its life or be
destroyed The Company, not the
union, had chosen the way of indus
trial strife"
The board declares that the attack
on union headquarters with gas and
bullets on Sunday, July IL, was abso-
lutely unprovoked. The police and
deputies simply marched over there
and started shooting and throwing
gas bombs.
Tom NJ. Girdler, chairman Of the
board of Republic, declares that he
will carry the case to the supreme
court before obeying the order.

ANOTHER
Wage-Hour Bill Before
House Committee

/ Washington, d. G. fILNS) Chair
man Mary Norton, of the house labor
committee, has laid before that COM
mittee a wage-hour bill, differing
considerably from the Ramspeck bill
presented some days ago.
The Ramspeck bill provides for an
administrative board Of five members,
and fixes the wage floor at the
weighted average" of the industry,
with an increase of not more than 5
cents an hour by the board.
The Norton bill gives most Of the
administrative power to the secretary
Of labor; and fixes, or rather, will
fix, definite minimum wage. Mrs.
Norton said that this minimum for
the first year probably will be 25 cents
an hour, but that she leaves to the
committee.
Both bills provide for raising the
minimum wage after the first year;
settling definite limit Of 40 cents
AN hour.
Both aim at a 40-hour week The
initial length of week in the Norton
bill will be left to the committee; the
Ramspeck bill allows a start at AZ
hours. The Norton bill is closer to the
demands Of the American Federation
Of Labor than is the Ramspeck
measure.
Under the Norton bill. the secretary
Of labor will determine what indus
tries are subject to the act. The sec
retary also may suspend wage in
Icreases, on a petition by an employer,
showing that the proposed wage
would nationally curtail employment
opportunities" or that the proposed
wage was more than sufficient to
maintain family Of four persons.
The rules committee Of the house
is reputed to be thoroughly hostile
to both bills.

Loggers Gain Wage In
crease

Marblemount, Wash.-A T. of T..
results have again dispersed CIO hot
air, this time in the logging industry
in this section Under domination of
the dual set-up for time, the work
ers were paid only $4.60 day. Re-
Gently these workers switched to the
A. F. of L., affiliated with the Log
gers department of their district
council and adopted the wage scale
minimums established by the Oregon
Washington Council of Lumber and
Sawmill Workers. The standard mini
mum wage for the loggers is now
$500 a day
When representative of the council
came here to install the charter of the
MarbIemount local, it was found that
the loggers here were being paid the
old scale of $3.50. Negotiations were
promptly opened with the employer
and all men in the operation received
a wage increase of forty cents day.
President John Stanioch, of the Pu-
get Sound district council, explained
with some emphasis: "We are not in
stalling charters in operations that
pay below the scale. If you fellows
want charter, your employer will
have to come up to the $500 per day
minimum"
The trek from the brimstone-belch-
ing but all too often resultlessCIO
to the practical result-getting A. f.
of L. unions has become almost a
stampede throughout Washington,
Oregon, and even in Idaho, where
similar reports emanate from Cali

Republic Steel Corporation
Forced Workers to Strike
By Bitter War on Union

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) when
we get through starving you out, you
won't want to strikeW
That boast, flung at the strikers
by officers of the Republic Steel Cor
poration at Massillon, Ohio, sums up
and explains the findings of the
NLRB in the Republic Steel case.
The board has found the Republic
entirely to blame for the strike, and
has ordered the company:
To cease and desist from interfer-
ing with the self organization of its
employees;
Completely disestablish, as collec-
tive bargaining agencies, the plan of
employe representation and its sue
cessors at the five plants involved;
Reinstate 27 named employees with
back pay less the amounts, if any,
which each earned during lay-off or
discharged periods specified in the
order:
Make whole the employees of the
Canton Tin Plate Mill and the Mas
sillon Works for any pay loss suf-
fered from May 5, 1887, and May 49,,
1887, respectfully, less amounts
earned during that period.
Republics Policy Flayed
And the company must offer REIN
statement, with back pay less earn
ings, to employees who went out on
strike May 25 and later at Canton,
Massllon, Youngstown, Warren and
Cleveland, the board says. 1t must
fire strikebreakers if necessary to
make room for these men.
The board minces no words in de-
scribing the policy of the Republic
1t speaks of the company's 'sinelte-
ment of violence in order to terrorize
union adherents.' 1t tells OF the
shooting at Massillon where, al
though no police were injured, three
strikers were killed and an undeter-
mined number injured by gun fire and
gas fumes, where 165 were arrested
without warrants and 164 held in jail
without charges against them"
