 On the basis of the last assessed valuation of the Alaska Light and Power Company, around s430,000, the company is making at least eight per cent on it's investment, Parsons stated.
 We pay the power company all most twice as much year for city light as the company pays us for taxes Parsons added, indicating a further city saving in public owner ship of the utility.
 Discussing the ordinance or fran chise under which the power com pany is doing business in Juneau, councilmen were vague as to just what the arrangement is. City At torney Grover Vim indicated that he would comb the city records for exact knowledge on the subject. As an upshot of the discussion, pcssi- bilities of purchasing the light and water plants were referred to the street, sewer and light committee of the council for further Investigation

The vote of 255 to ia was even greater
than the vote on the May bill which tell before

the vote also reflected the changed Congress

'Subversive' Bills

Following defeat Of the frontal attack on
labor unions. which was embodied in the May
proposals. labor's enemies in Congress are
now attempting q more subtle Hank attack.
Il takes the form of bills ostensibly directed
against subversive elements. The stauneh
Amerieanism OF the labor movement is WE'LL
known, so the attempt is now made to eamou-
Hage union-busting proposals behind appeals
to labor's opposition to any subversion OF our
democratic institutions.
But the CLIO is not deceived by this camou-
Hage It opposed the Bland BILL recently
passed by the House. because it recognized
that its loose wording would make possible
the firing of any active unionist whom COM
pany stool-pigeons might choose to denounee.
II is preparing to fight this bill even more
strenuously in the Senate.
The Clio also opposes the Ramsey bill to
blacklist any worker commonly called sub
versive There is hardly union organizer or
active member who has not been commonly
called such names by anti-unon employers
at one time or another.
Similarly the Clio opposes the proposal in
the original Vinson bill. whose reintroduetion
is now threatened as q separate measure. to
allow employers to FIRE workers whom they
consider subversive. This would in effect
destroy the Wagner Act. allowing union.hght-

All such proposals are nets to catch loyal
Americans guilty only Of labor activity. while
spies and saboteurs would easily slip through
their meshes.

Plan for Aluminium

In the midst OF the nationwide aluminium
collection rive. the Clio immeasurably
strengthened the aluminium outlook and the
national defense picture by suggesting plan
to lift the nations aluminium production to
its necessary level of three billion pounds
year.
The plan, contributed by the Aluminium
Workers of America after fouI-month study.
proposes the immediate erection of enough
aluminium plants to increase production by
one billion pounds year. and calls for the
creation Of an Aluminium Industry Council to
guide the expanding production program.
Nicholas Zonarieh. president OF the Alu-
nnum Workers. declared in a statement ae-
eompanyins the plan given to President Roose'
Welt that industrial problems such as the alu-
minum shortage, are matters OF national con-
Germ. not a mere private business worry Or
gained labor is not going to stand idly by
and watch business tumble and fuss while
industry goes from bad to worse. Instead.
organized labor is anxious to help in every
way possible to end the distress and confusion
in the aluminium industry and to shoulder
responsibilities which high priced corporate
management officials have so woetully
neglected.
The shortage, Zonarich continued. can be
ended not by systems of priorties. not by
'ersa,z,' and not by house-to-house begging
for pots and pans.
The practical question is how many pounds
Of aluminium will it take to meet the demands
Of the democratic countries to help defeat the

the needs of Latin American republics. and
our own civilian needsp
The United States must take the respon.

must be ready to take up whatever slack oc-

bombings or capture of aluminium plants and
resources.
Considering the scope of these European.
Asiastic, and Latin American requirements.
and recognizing the gargantuan appetite OF
modern war. it may be safely estimated that
at least another billion pounds of annual pro-
duction will be needed. bringing the overall
demand on our aluminium industry to three
billion pounds annually.
The need is so pressing Zonarieh de-

Actually. prejudice and hysteria
are only the mask for q deeper
purpose on the part Of those who
infiict discrimination on our peo-
pie.
The deeper purpose Is an eco
nomic one. and for that reason
the labor movement Is even more
determined that discrimination
must be wiped out. The use Of
one racial group against another.
one national group against an
other. in order to beat down the
economic standards OF all. Is an
old story to the labor movement.
II is the ancient maxim Of divide
and rule. with a new twist-divide
and exploit.
The CLIO recognized this from
its first beginnings. For years the
labor movement had been divided
into fragments OF craft unions
which the anti.labor employer was
able to pit one against each other
to his advantage and to the dis
advantage OF the workers. The
CLIO put an end to this splitting
technique when II organized work
ers on the industrial principle.
whereby all have equal bargaining
rights and equal bargaining power.
The whole strength Of our move
ment is based on this principle.
II has been successfully applied to
almost every industry in the coun-
try. II has won wage increases. a
measure OF economic security. and
industrial democracy for Our S.
100000 members.
The same principle leads the
CLIO to oppose discrimination
against minority groups. whether
that discrimination take legal. So
cial or economic forms. We know
that labor organization split
into conflicting splinter groups
cannot win benefits for its mem
bers or even exist as a living en-
tity.
There is nothing new in this at
titude OF the CLIO. We have con-
sistently opposed legislation and
employment practices that single
out particular groups for unequal
treatment. We have consistently
defended the rights Of the Negro
people. We have fought not only
for our own members who happen
to belong to a racial or national
or other minority but for all such
minorities making Our test the wei
fare and the security Of the Amer
lean people as whole.
I'm recent weeks a number OF
statements of policy have been
issued by high government author
tiles TO the effect that discrimina-
ton In employment is a condition
that should be ended. We ap-
