AND DEMOCRACY

On the day that Molotov charged
in his speech at Moscow that England
was virtually a fascist government,
Parliament met and Laborites and
Liberals vigorously attacked the con-
duct of the war. The Laborites charged
that civil liberties had been invaded
unnecessarily even for prosecuting
the campaign for victory. AS re-
suit of this vigorous pressing against
the Chamberlain government the war
bill was radically revised and liber-
allied. Thus even in wartime demo-
cratic institutions attest to their
resiliency and stability. Parliaments
and congresses are the safety valve of
the democratic system and are essen
tial to the perpetuation Of the demo-
cratic form.-Electrical Workers Jour-

twenty-seven per cent in JOB insur-
ance contributions from Ohio employ
ers wss reported today by H. c. At
kinson, Administrator Of the Bureau
Of Unemployment Compensation.

of 1899 amounted to s57,237, ,037 81.

Strike Continues

against Kohler domination and def
ance.
Company "Falsely Broadcast the End
of the Strike
''rhe Kohler Company has appar-
emily mistaken our desire for peace
as an indication Of tagging interest,
and has, through it's representatives,
falsely broadcast the end of the strike
even while the courageous pickets Of
Federal Labor Union No. 18545 were
treading the walks before the Kohler
plant which five years previously were
drenched with the blood of numbers
of the American Federation Of Labor.
"Kohler, of Kohler, manufacturers
of bath tubs, sinks, pottery ware,
plumbing fixtures, lavatories, heating
plants, radiators, electric light plants,
brass plumbing fittings, etc., in order
to make their product saleable, have,
at great expense, by letters to our
unions and to prospective patrons,
through invitations for pilgrimages to
feasts in the Kohler clubhouse, and
various other schemes, endeavored to
impress large numbers of people that
the kohler Company, and not our
slain brothers, are the martyrs"
UnionizatiOn of Employees Sought
In order to aid as much as possible
the valiant strikers in their struggle
against the Kohler Company, the res
olution urged that the officers and
members of the American Federation
Of Labor "give such continued and
further support to Federal Labor
Union No. 1886 as in their judgment
the situation merits, and to continue
it's efforts to bring about a reversal
of this corporations hostile attitude"
The convention Committee on Reso-
| lutlons recommended that the resolu-
tion "be referred to the Executive
Council of the American Federation
OF Labor coupled with instructions to
do all within their power to bring
about the unionization of the en-
ployes Of the Kohler Company"
| Picketing Will Continue Seidel Says
Speaking in favor of the resolution
and the recommendation of the Reso-
lutions Committee, Delegate Herman
Seidel of the Milwaukee Federated
Trades Council, said:
81 am appearing here this morn
ing in place of Henry Oil, the Presi-
dent of the Wisconsin State Fedora
tion of Labor, who is in committee
meeting.
owe are in favor of the commit
tees report and would merely like to
call your attention to the fact that
this strike is going on in it's sixth
year.
"There is picketing going on at the
Kohler plant continually, and we in
tend to support those pickets in Wis
consin until this matter is satisfac-
torily adjusted. If it takes five years
or ten years you will still find our
people on the picket line unless this
matter is satisfactorily adjusted.
"On Labor Day we had parade
and the picketing went on. On the
anniversary of the day when two
strikers were killed and % were
wounded we picketed the plant, and
also the Kohler supply and display
rooms of the Kohler Company in the
State of Wisconsin,"
At the conclusion of Delegate Sci
del's talk, the convention adopted
unanimously the report of the Resolu-
tions Committee.

Plan Formed To Give Alaska
Workmen Break On Navy Jobs

A plan to give Alaska workmen
an even chance with those from the
Outside without additional for en-
ployment on naval construction pro-
jects at Kodiak and Sitka has been
advanced by B. F. Heintzleman, Re
gional Forester. The Wrangen City
Council on being advised by CCC
Foreman ]. L. Dolan OF the proposal
last night at its regular meeting
took the first step toward coopera-
tion with the hope OF perhaps OBJ
tanning Jobs for Wrangell men at
the big naval undertakings.
The Regional Forester pointed out
in his message to Dolan, which was
read to the Council by Mayor Van
H. Fisk. that it was possible under
existing regulation to have local
wOrkmen examined by local public
health doctors and that also a de-
cision of the. Comptroller permits
payment of transportation of work
men from Alaska towns to remote
construction jobs in the Territory
as part of employment contract. Two
of the sticklers which have been a
definite handicap to Alaska work
men heretofore We're that they had
TO be examined at the job and that
they had to apply for employment al
either Sitka. Kodiak or Seattle. I'm
The Wrangell sentinel., 1939-11-03

der the present plan, if il works
out, the prospective workmen would
be examined by authorized doctors
in their home towns and if they
were successful in being called for
transportation would be
provided.
In order to facilitate the matter,
the Council last night voted to start
the registration of workmen as soon
as complete information is receiv
ed from Heintzleman as to the full
particulars. City Clerk L. B. CHS
holm said that he believed he would
be prepared to take registration of
the workmen at the City Clerks
office probably by next Monday.
The complete text of the message
from the Regional Forester follows:
ITO stimulate Alaska employment
/ am suggesting Navy contractors
designate a contracting firm in each
large Alaska town who knows local
workmen to act as preliminary hir-
ing officers for Sitka and Kodiak
Final selection of men reserved to
company superintendent in Sitka
and Kodiak l have pointed out that
Comptroller decision BATS of July
Is permits payment of transporta-
ton of workmen from Alaska towns
to remote construction jobs in Ter
ritOry as part of employment CON
trat. That the Navy like the Forest
Service can use local public health
doctors to make medical examin-
atoms of selected men see decision
Comptroller A-84484 of April 1897
or can make contracts on fee basis
with local physicians see manuscript
decision of Comptroller to Secretary
of Agriculture A-97344 of August
26, 1888 These decisions seem to
remove all legal obstacles to en-
ployment of Alaskans ON these Navy
jobs"

the Hospital Auxiliary will hold its

hospital, the auxiliary was first or
gained Made up of representatives
of each civic, religious and fraternal
organization of the city. Mrs. S. D.
Grant was elected its first president.
How much the Auxiliary has
meant TO the hospital is clearly
shown by its records. Through the
silver teas alone 1t has taken In
s659.85 and from other benefits,
such as card parties, an additional
$597.45 to make a grand total of
$1,25730 during the past nine
years.
Originally, the annual silver tea
was held in the spring on Hospital
Day. But, due to that being a buster
season, the time was changed to fall
and Armistice Day chosen.
Last Tuesday a meeting was held,
Mrs. Ernest Anderson, President,
presiding, and final arrangements
were completed for the tea next
week. A musical program is prom
ised and those who have attended
the teas in the past know an inter
esting afternoon will be in store.
Those attending last Tuesdays
meeting were: Mrs. H. B. Thorn
quist, representing the Presbyterian
Aid Society; Mrs. NJ. G. shain, Lee
