 nDefense
 Of Aciions

Representative Joe Krause of Ket- chikan, chairman of the House La- Dor Committee. last night defended the handling by that committee of labor bills introduced during the session against the criticism by Terri torial Commissioner of Labor Wal ter Sharpe
 Said Krause:
 Yesterday the Territorial Com missioner of Labor, Walter P. Sharpe, addressed delegates of the A. T. F. of L. on various subjects. Bring his discourse MT. Sharpe saw fit to severely criticise the House Committee on Labor of the Terri tcrial Legislature for delaying House Bill No. l.
 Being Chairman of the Labor Committee of the House, and as was attacked by MT. Sharpe, feel obligated to reply and give truth ful and accurate presentation of the facts.
 "On January 9 of the present session House Bill No. was intro duced by Representative Curtis shattuck. The bill proposes a re- vision of the present Worken's Com pensation Law, need long recog- nized by labor. The Territorial De- partment of Labor claims that this bill is the fruit of two years work by that Department headed by MT. Sharpe.
 Members of the committee sub mitted the measure to the Territor- ial Attorney General and got his assistance and advice in an inter- pretation of the bill which is A pages in length. At a glance the Attorney General informed us that it was improperly drawn as to form. In spite of the two years time spent by Mir Sharpe we found that he had failed to draw the bill according to- legal requirements. We found that an amendment would be necessary before the House could consider the bill.
 At a subsequent meeting of theI Committee on February 6, Mir. Sharpe appeared and desperately offered two major amendments. One moment the Department head claims months of careful work re- sulting in a perfect conclusion and the next moment he confesses that there are still many discrepancies of a serious nature. It might be pointed out that it takes some six thousand sheets of paper to amend or re-write this bill. It takes IS hours for the typists alone, to say of the expense. We might now ask MT. Sharpe just why or who did delay this bill
 Our Labor Committee is working O. K. Its membership is composed largely of men who are themselves of the labor group. They only too we'll realize the importance of re- vision in the Workmen's Compensa- tion Law. However, it behooves them to investigate carefully legis- lation proposed by the present head of the Department of Labor to de termine if the measure does in fact assist the working class. We have not yet forgotten that when MT. Sharpe was called upon for .assis- tance. in labor legislation in 1943. at

the last session of the Legislature, he was found to be too busy prose- cutting man proven to be sympa- thetic to labor, namely, the former Labor Commissioner.
 T strongly condemn MT. Sharpe for his unwarranted and untruthful criticism of laboring people. I ask that hIs Department work for the benefit of labor as the Legislators intended it should, and not to the detriment of labor as he is now con- ducting the Department of Labor

WLB CHIEF ADDRESSES
 ATFL MEET
Questions Advice to Labor 10 Enter Political
 Field

Dr. Charles T. Battin, War Labor Board chief for Alaska and the man who is charged with the task Of keeping wages down, bearded the lion in his den yesterday afternoon when he delivered an address to the delegates to the Alaska Terri torial Federation of Labor Conven- ton, the men and women who are more interested ordinarily in keep ing wages up.
 kpieneknt
 Dr. Battin, who identified himself as just another - - bureau- crst". Ca bureaucrat's motto is pass the buck, shoot the bull, get a re- ceipt and make seven copies') drew the serious attention of his audience as one of the first of the Conven- tion's guest speakers divorced from Territorial politics and not asking for votes
 In challenging labor to assume the responsibilities which come with control of power he questioned the advisability of labor's entering into politics
 You have been advised to enter politics" he said, but for what pur- pose? To determine who your friends are and to destroy anyone who is not your friend. Such advice would have you develop into pow erful pressure group to insure that you dig your hands deeper into Uncle Sams pocket. It implies that the government is the giver of all good things and that to get your share ycu must exercise pressure and power politics. g .ave
 To Help Labor
 The politician comes always with beautiful phrases and bright prom ises and loud protestations of how he loves labor on the one hand and aSKs for labors vote on the other To help labor? Perhaps. To pro- mote his own ends most nrtain- ly."
 {On the opening day Of the con- vention, Gov Ernest Gruening had stated Tabor should and must take an active interest in politics and find out who its friends are and who are not friends when you find man who invariably votes against every measure designed to help labor, you will find he is a re- actionary in every field and pretty much against all programs ana pol icies for the improvement of the Territory")
 pr. Battin told the delegates that in America today labor is stronger than it has ever been in history. Labor is now in the saddle" he said, it is in control economically and politically"
 Responsibility
 But" he added, such power en- tails responsibility This power and responsibility offers the greatest challenge in all history to labor leadership"
 Among problems facing labor, he said. is the multiplicity of jurisdic- tions and jurisdictional disputes which tend to lessen the confidence of the public in the ability of labor to meet the challenge of leadership.
 He urged the development of ade- quate machinery of internal control for delegating authority and fixing responsibility within the labor or ganization to make it impossible for interruptions and selfish indivi- duals to seize power and build racket within the organization.
 In the past, Dr. Battin pointed out in urging an expansion of the purpose of labor leadership, labor man elected to office or appointed IS expected by all to spend all his time and energy squawking for
