placarded by groups anxious to
have him support certain legls-

The Home Front followed
suit the other day after the gov

young sons on the subject OF
more studying and fewer NOV

governor related, with placards
to the effect that the governor
of Virginia was "unduly hard

sification, check off of union
dues, common labor pay for
learners and the institution Of a
group insurance plan to give ev-
cry employee $500 minimum
coverage, plus disability insur-
ance and disqualification. II is
an imposing list.
In arguing against some of
these demands, steel company
representative may we'll say in
effect: Wait a minute. What
is this? Are we negotiating
over wages and working condi-
tons or are we considering a
social security program? What's
going 10 be the policy of the
country and of government on
some of these things? Will there
be increased social security as a
matter of national policy or are
these things to be left to private
employers? If the latter, how
are the weaker companies to in
stitute these reforms on the
same scale as the stronger? And
il the government is TO broaden
its social security coverage and
benefits, why are we talking
about them here? Is this not
more of a subject for legislation
than for negotiation between la
Dor and management?
AND HOW ABOUT
THESE DEMANDS
Specific demands which might
be classified as subjects for ma
tional policy determination and
outside the scope of collective
bargaining might thus include:
!. The proposal for creation
of trust fund for the armed
forces.
2. The demand for guaran-
teed work week and minimum
weekly pay.
4. The demand for dismissal
with pay.
4. The demond for dismissal
pay.
5. The entire proposal for es-
adjustment of an insurance plan
with disqualification and disabil-
ity benefits.
The entire subject of veterans
benefits is now before Congress
and wilt be determination a
national basis OF equal bonus or
pension for equal service and
sacrifice.
All the others are topics which
are under study by Congress as
part of the cradle to- grave social
security legislation, or which are
part of the existing state and
federal plans for workmen' S
compensation, unemployment
insurance, and old age retire
ment benefits. -
PENSIONS NOW A
NATIONAL POLICY
Before the depression and ev-
en- before World War |, many of
the stronger private employers
had made starts at setting up
pension plans. When the whole
country recognized the need for
such old age insurance, it was
adopted as national policy, and
the private plans disappeared.
Private unemployment insur-
ance plans, considered by few
companlss in the booming
1920s, would not have been ade-
quate TO deal with depression
demands and so disappeared, to
be replaced by national unem-
ployment insurance.
Similarly. soldiers part-pay
BENEFITS gwen by few employ
ers at the start of the defense
period have now been almost
completely replaced by depend
ents' allotments paid by the gov
eminent.
All Of these developments en-
phasize the importance of this
question of what constitutes the
field of collective bargaining.
This does not attempt to be
any kind of answer. 1t merely
states the case. Where do you 60
from here? Does the govern
ment take over more Of these
problems or is the hot-potato of
responsibility to be handed back
TO private industry?

A SLIGHT CASE OF CONFUSION

War MonDower Commissioner McNutt made
sneech and the owl issued report, both on the
same doy. Thot in itself is not unusual Mr. McNutt
makes lots of speeches. owl issues even more re-
ports
On this particular day-hoveper, M McNutt
told his listeners tho the monpower situation wos
Relatively GOOD and that labor shortages ore cous-
ina less donoqe to war production than at any time
in the post year.
The owl sold that 100000 more women
would be needed in work or wor-suPPort'n9 work
by JULY This in spite Of the Census Bureaus stote-
noent that 100000 women who had been in such
work unemployed in Jonuory and the war
Monpower Commissions estimate that this figure
might rise to 100000 by July - right when owl
soys we shall need 100000 additions to the TO-
AGO. 900 women now employed
Also on this same doy, Brig-Gen. A. T. Brown,
New York stote droft director estimated tho about
IS per cent Of New York reeistronts over 70 would
be deferred because their jobs ore in 'wor sup
porting octvity."
This announcement must have looked little
strange to the considerably thon per cent
Of over-26 reostronts in New York and elsewhere
who have recently gone into service from jobs or
businesses which undoubtedly fell within thot OIL
nost.oIl- embracing term Of "wor supporting octIv-
ity"
That for illustrative purposes, would seem TO
be enough confusion for one day.
OF course, the obvious remedy would be for ev-
eryone to get together Army, Navy, WWC WPB
and other departments concerned-ond decide upon
as concerted and orderly course Of action as the
shifting demands Of will permit.
But in the meantime 1T might be we'll if owl

WRANGELL ENJOYING
 ONE OF MILDEST
 WINTERS IN YEARS

Wrangellites living elsewhere will be interested to know that Wrangell is enjoying one of it's mildest winters in years. January temperatures past week were hoy ering around 45 and 50. Rain has been far under normal and only one fall of snow has been experi- enced so far. and this is Jan. IA. The light snow fall gave young sters a little sledding for one day. Then it was gone. Weather actual ly is like April. Ed Moore, F. A. Cooper, Frank Reed and some of the other early growers already are looking springish and Charlie Sadler, WraRgelPs flower man" says his tulips and daffodils are more than an inch out of the ground If you read in this jour nal last winter about snow and ice it probably sayored of fact. On the contrary, this winter is one of the best yet; mildest in ten years Or more.

When Alaska becomes a state, its people will owe their great advance more to Mir Dimond than any other man I take for granted Alaskans will wish. to hon or him for this service, and will wish also to retain him in their service as their governor. As a delegate in Congress he has no vote, but few members have more friends or more influence.
 The first elective governor Of Alaska, my prospective host, say a. round 1945 or 1946, was born in New York state in 1881. He has
 lived in Alaska more than 30 years, married there, has a son and two daughters born there. He has served AIaskans as U. S. commis- siOner, as special assistant U. s. attorney, as mayor of Valdez, as territorial senator, and since 1883 as delegate in Congress. His home is at Valdez. He is a Democrat one of the few Democratic candi- dates for governor that I'll be pulling for the year he runs for that office.

The Past Ten
 Years

Just ten years ago an amendment to the Constitution of the United States was repealed. A free and an articulate people had spoken it's piece. And so that 'ignoble" experi- ment of a democratic people was written off, as an accountant would say, with loss" For we did lose something. We lost, temporarily, that most precious of all things that civilized man has striven for since long before the Magma Charta .. respect for the sacred rights of the individual; respect for constitutional authority. Just turn back to the chapter in our history that deals with the prohibition period. See the ''scars" that illustrate it's pages. Not long ago they were still livid; now the are paled by the healing inhu- enga of time. But they are still vivid ir the memory of those of us who lived. perhaps precariously, through that period. Not a pleasant picture, in retrospect.
 Now we are again at WAR. Now VI -eally are fighting with every ounce of our resources and our man. hoo,. and womanhood-to continue ot y of ife-our right to think  anr talk and worship as we please -D4t right as individuals. So that it cap'G happen again, let us visit, mentally, the chamber of horrors of the prohibition period. Let us compare that period with ''the last ten years"
