Board Directors Chamber Holds Noon Luncheon 4

The Board of Directors of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday noon at the North Pole Bakery. The President B J McConaghy called the meeting to order. The min ntes of the last meeting were read and approved.
 The Secretary read correspond ence from Archie ShielS of the Pacific American Fisheries en- closing his dues for 1940 and also the dues for Wm. Timson PreSi- dent of the Alaska Packers As sociation. Also a letter from E D Webb City Clerk of Seward call ing attention of the failure of in- cluding the refund to towns rev. enue from the sale of liquor stamps which amounts to quite a bit and would aid considerably toward the school budget. The subject will be referred to a com mittee for study. And the follow ing letter from Delegate Dimond in response to the resolution in regard to the Coast Guard Sta ton at Nome:
 Feb. l2, l940 A Polet Esq.
 Secretary Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce
 Dear Tony:
 Thank you for sending me with your letter of January 26 copy of resolution adopted by the Northwestern Chamber of Com- merce on January g recommend ing the establishment of a Coast Guard station at Nome.
 While am much interested in the proposal to have the station reestablished and as eager to have the work done as anyone can possibly be but the problem is to get the money. I have de- manded it asked for it and beg ged for it but we haven't ob- tained it.
 We may be at least mildly com forted by the thought that in Congress all of these things are usually delayed for five or ten years longer than they should be and so I have not given up hope and shall continue to work for it.
 With kindest personal regards l am
 Sincerely yours,
 Anthony J Dimond, Delegate
 We also received letters from Ralph Lomen quoting from let ter from his brother Carl on the the same subject urging that the Chamber get strongly behind in order to have consideration by the present Congress. He also states that he has written to Jackson and Weaver for them to get busy out in the States. Also another letter from Ralph Lomen calling attention to the fact that up to this date there is no pro- vision made to make available a Coast Guard Cutter for Boring Sea and Arctic patrol, So far the department has made no arrange mentS for same, This also has been urged for immediate action with the Delegate to have a Coast Guard vessel stationed at Nome for Arctic service.
 The following Resolution was unanimously adopted:
 WHEREAS It is the desire of the Northwestern Alaska Cham Der of Commerce to highly re- commend our Governor Hon Err nest Gruening in his stand for the preference of Alaskan labor in all public works and Alaskan industries also for his advocacy of the support of local enterpris- eS and

The Public Laughs

Ridicule is a powerful weapon,
never so potent as when self
produced. :.
Labor organizations up. in
Williamson have been putting on
an asinine show for quite some
time, and bringing only discredit
On themselves.
The average man doesn't know
quite what it's all about, but he
is likely to smoker when he sees
one labor organization picket a
business coacern because it en-
ters into a contract for work with
men in good standing in another
rlabor organization.
s. Jat in the past week we have
noticed three or four paint jobs
in progress at various business
houses. All of the jobs were pick
eted. Union men were working
orAl of the jobs. First, the CLOS
pickets the AFL, then the ALL
pickets the CIO. The men doing
the work, no doubt, are all COM
petant men. No one questions
the right of men to affiliate with
either the Go or the AFL. The
wages in either union are about
the same. Employers are willing
to pay the union scale. So what ?
In such a situation the mana
cement can only say "a plague
on both your houses" and the
public laughs.
The public generally is sym
pathetic toward unions, their
aims, principles and proper acti-
vities; t fants to see more men
employed at better wages, but it
is decidedly out Of sympathy
with the silly cut-throat tatics
that, in the end, means the dest-
urction of the very things unior
urction Of the very things union
labor stands for. - Williamson

Mr. .Bachmarn's candidacy is
expected TO clear the political
atmosphere. 1t is known that
considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on him to- an
nounce either for governor or
senator, and that he has had the
matter under consideration for
some time. His friends say that
his decision was thus long delay
ed in order to clear the way for
other candidate should they de
velop. Further delay was con
sidered out of the question, how
ever, in view of the shortness Of
time. The primary is on May IA,
which leaves little enough time
for the development and prosecu-
ton of a statewide campaign.
Bachmann's entry assures the
presence of an aggressive cadi-
date from the first district which
by common consent, is conceded
the right to one of the major
nominations in view of the rous-
ing Republican victory of 1888.
Bachmann is no strager to the
National legislature, and would
be at home his first session in
the senate. He was elected to con
greSS from this district first in
1924, and REPEATED with victories
in 1926, % and 30. With the
balance of his party he went
down to defeat in the Roosevelt
landslide of 1882, but by a very
narrow margin. He was a dele
gate to the national convention
ah campaign for the presidency
in 1886, and managed the Bor.
