ICE BREAKERS ARE
 PLANNED FOR ALASKA

The proposed ice-breakers are somewhat similar to those now in use in Sweden and in Soviet Russia.
 They will be strong enough to combat Arctic ice and will pro- bably be used largely for that pur pose, although one or more of them may also be available for service, if needed, in the New England and middle Atlantic stat eS and on the Great Lakes. as well as in Cook Inlet and Der ing Sea and on the Arctic coast of Alaska. With the use of one of the ice-breakers, it would be practicable to keep Cook Inlet open for navigation during the entire winter.

TENNIS COURT
Last summer the Arctic Club
 proposed to build a tennis court

if a suitable location could be ob tained. Believing the enterprise worthy of encouragement the City of Nome applied to the Fed eral Government for permission to construct court on the Fed eral site between the Miners & Merchants Bank and the Cavey building. This permission was granted and the court has been constructed under the supervi- sion and at the expense of the Arctic Club. The court is of lam mated two by four boards, and wire netting entirely surrounds the area. The fine weather has brought out many players and as the court is open to the use of the public it is expected it will be in constant use when weather permits. The Arctic Club is re- commenting to the City Council the adoption of the following simple rules regulating the use of the court and to govern the. players:
 l. No players allowed on court
 without rubber soled shoes. 2. No Single" matches are al-
 lowed while players are wait
 ing.
 3. Sets reaching six games apiece
 seventh game shall decide, if
 players are waiting.
 4. Keep the court clean
 5. Loosen net upon leaving court
 if no one waiting to play

Such get-to- gether parties as this promises to be, is characteristic of the Pio- neer spirit of hospitality.

EDITORIAL Will Hitler Win In California?

If Hitler himself had set out to cripple American defense produc ton at vital spot in a critical hour he couldn't have done bet ter than the few so-called labor leaders who called and have pro- longed to 24 days the strike at Il Pacific Coast shipyards.
 In the headlines we read this sad story: Britain lists l,443 ships as lost ;n war; total 6.000.000 tons," and the American reac- ton: Work rushed on seized ships to offset losses by Britain; U. S. yards working 24 hours day" Then - Strike ties up II shipyards.'
 Whatever may be said of the wisdom or folly of previous strikes in defense industries - and many have had justification mot one smelled of sabotage. This strike does. Ii is a strike - of both AFL and CIO machinists - called over the opposition of John P. Frey, president of the AFL Metal Trades Department.
 It is a strike in violation of a pledge not 10 strike. That pledge was given in the master agree ment between labor and industry which covered the entire West Coast shipbuilding area and Speci fled: There shall be no lockouts on the part of employers or sus- pension of work on the part of employees. It is a strike which does not involve any unfair la Dor practices by the shipbuilding concerns. Instead, the strikers want an increase in wages, which already are substantial. Mach n- ists have been paid $l an hour, with time and a half for over time. They have demanded Sl15 an hour, with double pay for overtime. They have been offer ed SLIP an hour, with time and a half for overtime So this strike which ties up II important ship yards while draftces are serving for S2l amonth, is a strike over just three cents an hour in pay, plus S2.30 an hour for overtime.
 We agree with Secretary of the Navy Knox, who declared that this is mot so much strike ag- ainst the shipbuilders as it is a strike against our country's pro- gram of national defense"
 The American public has al- ways been resentful of jurisdic- tional disputes which result in the cessation of work. It will be particularly so at such time as lnlS, when Il IS convinced that defense production is the first consideration, and that it is a matter of little importance at the moment whether an electrician or carpenter is a member of a union affiliated with the AFL or the CIO.
 It was unavoidable, of course, that union leadership would seek to avail itself of the opportunity afforded by increasing employ ment incident to rearmament to increase membership. What with the recent rivalry between the two major labor organizations, it was perhaps too much to ex-
The Nome nugget., 1941-06-11

pect that a fair regard for the public interest would always be observed.
 But interunion rivalries must not carry to the point where they impede the progress of national defense and play actually into the hands of the Axis powers. It would be well for union leaders to keep in mind these days what has occurred to the trade union movement in those nations, and also how it has hourished in Great Britain, even in war time.
 The labor leadership of the United States is afforded an ex- cellent opportunity in this crisis to prove that it is big and public spirited and able to rise above the petty issues which in the past have been allowed to inter- rupt important industrial opera tions.
 Before the new outbreak of strikes, affecting more than $500,- 000,000 worth of shipbuild.ng pro jects on the West Coast, along with other phases of the rearma- ment program there had been an encouraging Hull in industrial dis putes. IL might have been the re- suit of a number of factors. Per haps it was due to the dramatic emphasis upon national defense needs which was created by the German blitzkrieg inthe Balkans. Perhaps it was partly in response to the wave of public feeling en- gendered by the long series of strikes. Perhaps to some degree 1t reflected the sinister influence of Soviet foreign policy upon certain American labor officails- the shadow of party line which WaVered for several weeks be- tween the Kremlin's friendship pact with YugoSlavia before the Nazi bl!tzkrieg and its withdraw al of recognition of Yugoslavia after Germany had engulfed the Balkans.
 Whatever their cause, strikes in progress today are reprehen- sible and cannot be tolerated.
 Ships are going down in the At lantic, precious ships which may mean the difference between sur vival and extinction of democ- racy, ships which may decide whether the right to strike is to exist anywhere in this world, ships filled with the armaments which constitute Americas an sWer to Hitler's challenge.
 Even with conveys, we may not be able to keep every ship from going down. But we can keep ships going upon the ways of Americas shipyards. That this nation intends to do. It will not tolerate interference with that objective in this grave hour, when every vessel counts double in m i n taining democracy's bridge to Britain, last citadel of freedom in Europe.
 We say it seriously. Uncle Sam can't quibble on this strike. Un- like most which have gone be- fore, it is strike against him. Such challenge simply must be met, swiftly and decisively. That large numbers of patriotic union men have broken away from their headstrong leaders and returned to work is a good sign. But it is not good enough The causes of discord such as have been raging on San Fran cisco Bay for the past month simply must be plucked out by the roots. - Juneau Empire.
