 The underhandedness of under takers tsome of them is reveaed in a memorandum whic h Territorial Auditor Frank A. Boyle attached to the House Bill proposinf a $lo license fee on embalmers 1t seems that students of embaiming colleges, learning that Alaska was issuing em- balming licenses to all corners at $l apiece have been applying by letter and then using their fancy certif1- cates to qualify in other States by virtue of reciprocity. The Auditor thinks a S10 fee will discourage this. Rep. Harvey Smith, who organized the successful opposition to the Free Conference Committee rules change during a five-minute recess this morning, would only say, in explana- tion of his move, we were satisfied with the rules as they were" The change was sought, members of the Rules Committees said, to prevent Free Conference Committees from coming in with entirely new and unrecognizable bills, as has been done at times in the past. T h amendment would have required the Committee to amend only with re- gard to the question in controversy.
 The Assistant Clerk of the House, who arrived in town this morning on the Baranof from Wrangell, does not spell her name Elena as the House Journal shows or Alma as the steamer passenger list had it, but correctly "Elna" She is Elna Arcla. This is her first experience with Legislatures.

 Senator O. D. Cochran thinks the House has entirely too great an ad- vantage over the Senate in the matter of confirming appointments. Today in the Senate he pointed out that practically everywhere else it is the Senate and no tthe entire legis- lative body which is given the pow CT of confirmation. In Alaska ap- pointments are considered in joint session, and the House, havig twice as many members. could overwhelm even a Senate which is unanimously agreed for or against some appoint ment.
 Speaking of appointments, some of the Members are wondering at the Governors submitting only the Education and Welfare Board reap pointments. Some Legislators think this may indicate the Governor is contemplating, for instance, change on the Unemployment Compensa- tion Commission, whose Chairman, R. M. Hardcastle of Ketchikan, has term about to expire.

DeIco girls

Union ranks

Under the able leadership of
Mary Hartman, Helen Darabos,
Margaret Thomas and Betty
Nelson, the Delco girls are coming
to the support Of the men.
Hesitancy among the women to
fight for their rights was the
cause for acceptance of less than
the points asked for at the last
contract negotiations. This situa-
ton is definitely changing for the
better. The girls have had full
proof of the benefits of collective
bargaining. They have seen wage
increases, better working condi-
tons, closer harmony between
management and labor, and a
general spirit of cooperation with
their fellow workers, spring into
being.
Soon Delco will be a hundred
percent organized UE shop. The
true American way of unity will
then be prevalent among all Delco
girls, just as it is among the men.

l heartily endorse the Camden
Plan because it will replace dan
gerous, unsound eyesores-mis-
called housewife modern dwell
ings and decent facilities.
There is no good reason why
Daytonians should not insist on
making a part of their tax dollar
work for the Identification of the
city. Money diverted to this use
is decidedly not an expense-it is
an investment in every sense of
the word. Apart from it's tremen-
dous power for building human
values, there is the more tangible
benefit of increased property
values to consider. Naturally when
slums and disease breeding liabil-
tiles are replaced with attractive,
useful property areas, the worth
of ALL real estate in a nearby
radius is increased accordingly.
The citizens of Monterey, Cal
ifornia have a quaint plan which
effectively sells the idea of beauty
to its people. Twelve times a year
the citizens vote to pick the

unsightly building in town. The
owner then gets busy to eliminate
the eyesore-since hardly anyone
would care to bear the obnoxious
distinction" of owning such a
piece of property-without doing
something about it.
Is it necessary to adopt a similar
plan as drastic for Dayton-shame
the people into action to convert
slum areas into beautiful home
sites? Or can't we profit by the
example set by the late John H.
Patterson - Transforming every
"Shakertown" section of the city
into attractive areas for their
aesthetic and practical values?
Every tax payer who earnestly de-
sires to reap the benefits of such
civic enterprise will give the
Camden Plan his wholehearted
support. If elected, I shall do my
utmost to insure the success of
this plan for a fuller and richer
life.

Robert L. Bennett

A labor union to be successful
must be militant and forceful. It
cannot play both ends against the
middle and accomplish anything.
An independent union is a glazing
example of such tactics.
An organization that is not
established on a national basis has
no real authority in enforcing the
rights of the workers it represents.
At MGR, the Independent union is
completely under the domination
of the management and workers
are therefore unprotected.
Protection of our rights and the
interests of our fellow men and
women at MGR is the aim of the
United Electrical Workers. The
broad type of national organiza-
ton that has shown such results
at Delco, Frigidaire, Inland and
others too numerous to mention,
is the Union that we need at MGR
to give us real protection.

Lonnie Fryman, Chairman of the
negotiating committee at Simonds-
Worden- White, reports that con-
ditions in the shop are coming
along to the satisfaction of all
concerned. Now that the workers
and management have a better
understanding, harmonious rela-
tons at S-W-W are a certainty,
just as in all other UE organized
shops.
The increases in rates at S-W-W
are comparable to those gained in
other Dayton plants. All workers
received at least seven cents, while
many received increases in piece
work rates which were a major
point of contention.
"Now that we all have a better
knowledge of each others needs,
let us all work together for the

POLICIES AT
MGR RAPIDLY


Every day we see the old CASH
fading swiftly into the past. One
of the main things is the speed-up
and the change in our system of
production. Another is the way
they r doing away with the old
men that have spent their whole
lives in the service of the plant.
In the old days when a man had
reached the period of life where
his production slowed down, the
plant had another job for him, but
now when these same men reach
the same age, they r forced to
retire and live on Old Age Bene-
fits.
The dining hall has had a
change in policy since the days
of John H. Patterson. When he
was in charge of the company the
hall was run on a non-profit basis,
for the benefit of the employees.
Now the prices have gone up to
such a great extent that the people
all over the plant are wondering
if they aren't paying for some of
the banquets that are held for the
big shots.
The bonus system for the en-
ployees has gradually been elm
mated by the grasping desire of
the company for more profits. In
the past few years not ever a
Christmas check has been forth
coming from this generous firm,
although they have made more
money than at any time in their
history.
A great many changes have
taken place, and more are to
come in the future. The wise
thing to do is to note these facts,
and to see what the company
union has done about it. The truth
of the matter is that this so-called
union has done nothing whatever
to stop these methods and never
will.

Strikes Don't
Happen When
Boss Plays Fair

If employers obeyed the laws
of the land and sat down at the
conference table with represen-
tatives of the workers, there
would be no strike problem in the
United States.
That the contention of Con-
gressman Samuel A. Weiss
(Dem., Pa.), and he has proof
to back up his claim right in
his own home district. 1t is one
of the most intensely industrial
lied areas in the United States,
with McKeesport as it's hub,
Weiss pointed out.
More than a score of nation
ally known corporations have
plants there, employing 10000
workers, all of whom are repre-
sented by bona fide unions, and
"there has not been even
semblance of a STRIKE" he said.
He ascribed this to the fact that
enlightened employers were will
ing, in American fashion, to bar
gain collectively with organized
labor.
Industry and labor sit down
at the conference table and con-
ciliate their differences with
distinct satisfaction to all con-
cerned," the Congressman ex-
planned.
The same record could be re-
peated in every community, if
employers showed like willing
ness to meet with labor, he con-
tended. Labor, he said, is more
than ready to go half way.
He denounced Congressman
who spend their time smearing
labor and demanding that it be
strait -jacketed.
each day sees new proposals
to take away the right to strike,
or to curb the right so severely
that it's value to workers will be
destroyed" Weiss declared.
'MOst of the schemes originate
among Congressman from poll
tax states who have few indus
tries in their districts and know
little about the problems of
working men.
"The right to strike is basic
to all workers rights and to all
liberty in the United States. 1t
should be clear that, if our de-
fense program is to defend de-
mocracy, then every act which
strengthens democracy is an in
tegral part of our defense pro-

to repay the defrauded taxes in
installments. He pleaded guilty
to income tax evasions to es-
cape trial on racketeering
charges in connection with a

A CALL FOR
PLANNING

Through national defense
new economy is being originat-
ed, even though it may not be
generally realized yet. Existing
plants adapted to defense pro-
duction are being reorganized in
accord with the needs of de-
fense production-in some cases
plants are expanded and in 9TH
er cases new plants are built.
Production capacity and prior
tiles on materials may decide
the fate of industries not essen
tial to war. These fateful deci-
sions are now being made by
persons responsible for imme-
diate defense production.
A very important decision
seems to fall between OPM and
the Office of Price Administra-
tion and Civilian Supply, with
full responsibility on neither:
Shall consumer goods production
be expanded in proportion to in
creased business activity or shall
fear of initiation curb consumer
industries even now?
At present only about 20 per
cent of the national production
is for war purposes. If we pro-
ceed by expansion of industries
and plant capacities, at the end
of this period we shall find our
industries at an all-time peak of
capacity. We should begin
planning how to utilize that pro-
duction to raise standards of liv-
ing for all our people so that
we shall not be caught in cur
rents inevitably resulting in de-
preston.
To that end, concurrently with
expansion, our planning should
begin to maintain the new level
of production in the shift back
to peacetime economy. Research
into new uses1for surplus crops,
new crops, substitutes for scarce
or imported commodities need
ed for industrial expansion, new
and improved models and i'm
proved processes should be as
signed to our best engineers and
scientists so that the blue-prints
for industrial progress may be
at hand.
We must plan now if we would
escape depression when peace is
restored.
Let US use our technical abili-
ties to provide employment and
comfort for all. Let us use the
American way to defeat the die.
tators.
