New Complaint
To Be Filed By l58
Company Forcing Workers
To Sign Petition Against
A. F. Of L. Union

New Bedford, Mass.-Local Union
No. 1873 will file another complaint
with the Boston Labor Board, officials
of the ]. |. Paulding Company Inc.
were told in conference held March
II and 1S in the Offices of Barnet and
Barnet, attorneys. First Vice Presi-
dent L. l.. Wheatley Of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters and
President George A. Durant Of Local
1853 explained that the complaint
would be based on the petitions being
circulated by company representatives.
Coersion is being used in an effort to
make the employees sign 4reir names
under a heading which specifies that
no A. F. of L. union is desired as a
bargaining unit in the plant.
This is the second such trick used
by agents Of the firm since the Boston
Labor Board ruled that the company
negotiate an agreement with the
Brotherhood. On the other occasion
the firm granted five per cent in
crease to all employees just prior to
sitting in conference with N. b. O. p
officials. This was interpreted as a
move to disrupt an organization that
was fast being completely re-establish-
ed among employees of the Paulding
plant ..-.
Two conferences have now been con-

FEDERAL BUREAU sLAPs ALAsKANs

Something is wrong somewhere.
 Carpenters and foremen for Office of Indian Ar fairs construction projects in the Territory are pemg brought in from the States their fare paid both ways while many Alaska men qualified and eager to do the work, remain idle
 Worse than that the situation has resulted in re- ports being issued from Washington, and published nationally that skilled workers unavailable" in Alaska
 The effect is that Alaskans already hard put to it to make living at construction jobs in the short work season here. lose number of positions which should be theirs and what is worse, workers all over the country will read about the skilled labor shortage" in Alaska and come here looking for jobs, making it all the harder for residents of the Territory All through the spring and summer months cam paign has been conducted by the Department of Pub lie Welfare the Alaska Territorial Employment Serv ice the Governors office and other agencies here to discourage the influx of jobseekers from the States Cooperating with the Department of Public Welfare the Empire prepared a series of articles on Alaska unemployment which sent to newspapers all over the country Governor Troy asked the steamship companies to post notices at their ticket offices that work was hard to get in Alaska and that ob-seekers should not come to the Territory without definite prospects of employment Director Joseph T. Fakne of the Alaska Territorial Employment Service wrote to the employment service offices of every state and territory explaining the situation of unemployment in Alaska and asking that persons nquiring about job possibilities here be given encouragement whatever AS result of this concerted effort the northward trek of unemployed has been all but stopped There are still people looking for work here than there
 is work to be found in fact good many more. Their lot is worse than that of unemployed in the States because it costs to live in Alaska and here they haven't boat fare to get away.
 Now through what Alaskans must condemn as bad blunder the part of local officials of Fedora Bureau the trouble is going to start all again Skilled workers from bootblacks to architects, vii be necks again some of them taking jobs which by right should belong to Aaskans, most of then asking to feed them when they aren't able to fint work in the Territory and aren't able to return home
 Everyone makes mistakes; most not tragic 7 in consequence this of the Office of Indiar Affairs will prove. It tears down and destroys tht work of half dozen other public agencies in Alaska makes life just little bit harder for every wageearne in the Territory and works severe hardship tht misinformed people who will looking for worl , which isn't here.
 Claude M. Hirst, General Superintendent of th Office of Indian Affairs in Alaska still believes thu
 facts of the story given publicity at Washington ar
 true that he can't get carpenters and construction : foremen in Alaska for Alaska jobs We believe MI
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-07-28

EIirst is wrong Earl McGinty Construction Superin- tendent for the Office says Alaskans wouldn't work under the conditions offered. But when the jobs were offered carpenters the conditions were that the men pay their own fares to and from the remote places where Indian schools and hospitals being built Of course, Alaskans wouldn't take the obs But offer the work to Alaskans under the same conditions as apply to workers being brought in from the States and all of the Indian Affairs scton jobs would be filled in short order by residents of the Territory.
 The Office of Indian Affairs will pay the fares of carpenters from Seattle to the villages where work is planned, but will not furnish transportation to workers from Juneau, Cordova, Seward or Anchorage to the jobs which of much nearer to all of these places than Seattle is This doesn't make sense, even from purely business standpoint let alone the one which all agencies operating in Alaska should have of favorng local people for local jobs whenever possible
 There is another side to the story; there always is McGnty says there only eight building projects planned this year in Alaska and that only two of his skilled workers" will be employed each He says the Comptroller General wouldn't let him pay the fares of Alasans to Alaska jobs but agreed to let him transport Seattle workers to them. Two of the Seattle men, who left the North Star June 12 still haven't reached their jobs on Seward Pen insula and will not until next week. They will have from three to four months of work after they get there and will be flown out by airplane when they are through Probably they will lose two full months of working time in transportation before they are home again.
 But the whole affair indicates gross disregard for natural rights of Alaskan residents to earn their vngs in Alaska If the Office of Indian Affairs can spend our money for airplane rides for Seattle carpenters they can spend to get genuine Alaskans to and from the jobs which should be theirs.
 Alaska workmen and Alaskans generally, have legitimate complaint to make against the Office of Indian Affairs.
 Something is certainly wrong somewhere.

Who's Who in WPA Strike
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Just because the WPA strike is holding the head lines these days the public should not make the mis- take of assuming that all large part of the vast WPA enrolment is fighting the government.
 The exact contrary is true. As President Roose- welt pointed out his press conference Tuesday less the skilled cassifications affected by the 13o-hour 900 now on WPA And a great many of this 100000 have not struck
 It should be borne in mind that this is not strike by WPA but by a minute minority which has been )enioying preferred treatment But because the ab- lsence of skilled holds up progress on some jobs many more than the few thousands with an alleged grievance are out of work result of the dispute They are victims of quarrel in which they have no direct concern.
 The President is right in voicing the determination of the administration resist the pressure of Ameri lean Federation of Labor unions upon Congress. The ipressure is assuming formidable proportions. Presi- dent William Green of the federation threatens ven- geance at the polls against all in public office who will not bow to the will of the union Three measures are before Congress rescnd the 130hour regulation 1 We trust the firm position of the President will encourage Congress be equally resistant of this effort | to browbeat it.
 It is difficult to see any great hardship in an order which merely calls for work week of about 3C hours. The claim of Green and others that mere security wage on relief work will pull down existing wage standards in private employment is wholly un- convincing. The 130-hour rule is distinct improve ment in WPA operation noisy lobby should not bt permitted to defeat it.

Minkin vs. Minkin

The law, of course is not really an ass. It merely goes out of it's way sometimes to make noises that sound suspicously like praying.
 Take the case of Kate M. Mnkin, statutory pain- tiff suing behalf of Jerome M Minkin minor, vs. Kate M Minkin." This is the title, amended by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania of interesting suit brought on behalf of eight-year-old Jerome against his mother, Kate for damages Jeromes father was killed in automobile accident in which Jerome's mother who driving is accused of neg ligence
 In 4-to-3 decision, the Court held that child could his parent to protect property right Whats since minor cannot act directly in legal suits, the charge must be brought by the minors legal guar dian, who happens in this case to be also the de- fendant.
 guardian parent is thus legally in the position of accusing himself of negligence.
 The only bright spot we can think of in this de- cson is that it should make it fairly easy for any plaintiff defendant to reach settlement with himself out of court.
