Labor Demand
 At Base Unsteady

Despite all efforts to give the proper publicity concerning the demand for labor in Kodiak, and for the naval ar station, misin- formation and unfamiIiarity with the facts! still causes hardships for individuals and creates a problem locally.
 A. A. Owen, Jr., representative of the Alaska Territorial Employ ment offices, points out that to- day there are men in Kodiak, who have come here without mon ey, who cannot get on at the base
 Contrary to general opinion, !" Owen said, "the labor demand at the base is not steady. Currently all they are asking for is exper- fenced construction labor. One week they may need number of men, the next week theymay need none.
 "Men coming to Kodiak now may be absorbed in three weeks or a month. But where the men make their mistake is in coming here without the funds to carry them over that period"
 The base also does not want men who are too young, Owen said, not alone because of the draft, but because there is too great a labor turnover in that class of men. Previously most young men could be placed in the cookhouse, but cookhouse employees have become stabil- ized group to the extent that there are fewer and fewer open mgs there
 As an example of the problem created, Owen cited as an exam ple two young men who came here recently. They arrived with out money, and expected to get OF at once at the base. When they found they couldn't they did some longshoring to tide them along, but there are not enough commercial vessels enter ing this harbor to provide steady extra work in that line.
 And the two young men are

Governor Signs
 Second Draft Call

.J,,neau-R-Governor Gruen- ing signed the call today(Wednes- day) for the second Alaska draft to place additional 477 men rom the territory into the national al armed forces. The draftees VIII be inducted December 10.
 The local office said they had received no notification of the second call. The first call for Alaska numbered 683 men, ana Kodiak's quota was 53. It IS ex- pected the same proportion will prevail in the new call, as the quota is based on the total num- Der of registrants.
 So far 8 of the 53 have been inducted, and there are only a few eligibles left in the IA group The local board has not been m- formed as to how the new lnduc- tees will be chosen, or whether they will be selected from the other various classi6cations, It IS presumed. the other classihcatlons will be in line next,
 The local difficulty in tiltng the first draft quota has arisen from the fact that the regIstra- tion was large for the community because it included employees of the naval air station. The employ ees of the base in most eases are granted deferment, when re- ouested with the questionnalre' because they are defense workers on a national defense prolect' The procedure leaves fewer eng ibles for the large quota.
 Of the last seven inductees two were turned down after the physical examination at the base. They were Orville Riipinen and Ernest P. Graves
 The names added to the pre- vious list of selectees eligible for induction released this week are:
 389 George c. Naughton
 581 Robert B. Clifton
 665 R. E. Resoff
 The above men are subject to induction ten days after being officially called. There was one additional name, Fred s. Cook, number 36, reported to be in Chicago. He was notified by wne.

gree, but the government never

similarly forceful methods should
any other strike threaten to tie up
vital defense materials.
Moreover II was understood
that defense officials responsible
for maintaining labor cooperation
have had under consideration other
means of couHteracting Commun-
list strike leadership, including
campaign to arouse strong public
opinion on the issue.
II now seems likely, however,
that all such plans will be held IN
allegiance unless a sudden change
in the Russo-German war should
once more cause a radical turna-
bout in Communist party policy.
In this connection it was recall
ed that prior to the now defunct
Russo-German non-aggression pact,
Communist party policy in this
country was violently anti-Nazi.
Soon after announcement OF the
treaty in August 1899, on the eve
Of the war, the policy changed to
one of opposition to Britain. Later,

gram and the parallel program Of
aid to Britain developed, changes
