 The ruling. which was put into effect without prior consultation with any of those agencies or in diyiduals. was termed by Delegate Bartlett simply fantastic.

gave on this subject. { I'd Ike Io0 mention at this time the eommis- sion had been engaged at this
 work a long time before they made it public. although ghe kicks didn't start until after everyone knew a. bout it.1 They told how the use or poison had been carefully studied and worked out over a long period Of years to the point where tt could be used in wolf control in
 this locality without killing the smaller fur bearers. That is their side or the story in brief. You have already read Otis Speer's side.
 Now. in looking for proof To support either of these claims, I've listened to the people Of this local
 fly talk of hunting and trapping and game and fur conditions, and I've done a lot of looking around myself True. I haven't looked over Duncan Canal where Otis goes and stays every winter. But that is one small spot compared to the country I've covered this spring and sum mer. I've listened to trappers talk Ing about the great increase in fur. especially mink. I've heard fisher men say they never saw so many deer, and l can truthfully say the same thing
 You remember We tried to get the trapping season open last year on account Of the abundance of mink This year il is open, not only on mink but marten and beay- CT as well. l can also state that there seem GO be a few black bear left too. I've heard stories too. of people finding poisoned animals. In
 fact. when l left Wrangeu there
 was a story going around that Mir Speer found lalOng with all the poisoned things he mentioned three wolves.
 Tn speaking of fur lost 10 poison, il is only fair to point out that when a black bear is not in hiber- nation and apt to pick Up poison he is also apt to stick his foot in one of Mr. Speer's wolf traps or his head in mine or someone else's snare. It has happened. as witness George Ingleman's bear stories. II offer them as proof) Of course, all the other fur accidentally caught in wolf traps during the closed season is tuned in to the Game Commission so they have an accurate check on how much is lost to poison, I'd say.
 Last winter she sukine Sports mems Club Of Wrangell, after talk ing the matter over and going in 10 both sides of the question, voted twith the exception of one man who declined 10 vote on the ques- tionl unanimously to support the Game Commission in their wolf ex-
 zrmination program. There were at that meeting around thirty of Wrangelrs hunters. trappers, and rllf sIaen. Many Of these had lived in Southeast Alaska a lot longer than AIr. speer and they. too, know game and fur

 Having read Mir. spears article on wolf poisoning in The sentinel and having had several friendly talks with him in the past on the same subject, l believe l should in the interest of those of us who see a different side to the picture and who asked the Game Commis- sion to continue their program or wolf extermination, try and place our ideas before the public.

Bill May Be
Smofhered

WASHINGTON, August / -.
(LPA)-President Truman's re-
quest to Congress for an i'm
proved unemployment compen-
sation system will probably be
buried in the House Ways and
Means Committee until late fall.
Chairman of the committee is
Rep. Doughton I'd. N. CO. who
introduced the legislation "by
request" and reluctantly. Dough-
ton has flatly refused to say
anything in favor of the meas
ure, and it is expected conse-
quently that it will have tough
shedding when it comes before
his committee.
The Doughton bill has been
sharply criticized by organized
labor for failing to match pro-
visions of a similar bill intro
duced in the Senate by Senator
Kilgore. The Senate and House
bills would raise unemployment
payments to $25 weekly for 26
weeks.

OUR IDEA

OUh IDEA
There is a movement on the
part of small groups to secede
from Local IL and apply for a
separate charter. Are we going
to be mislead on the issues in
volved?
Union members of the Ameri-
can Propeller Unit have had
their experience in a separate
Local, that they well remember.
We were without a home and in
bad financial straits. The corpo-
ration from which we draw our
daily wages knew of our condi-
ton and took advantage of it by
contract under which we
worked for three years. We don't
think we have to tell our people
about a separate charter, they
will remember.
Local 12's strength is known
and respected by all, even its
enemies. It's achievement in the
labor movement in Toledo and
the rest of the country is the
measure of its greatness. To-
day, Local IL is in sound finan-
cial position and in a position to
move forward to greater prog
reSs in the postwar period. The
building program of the future
will keep pace with the progress
of the past. There can be no
doubt on this point.
We doubt if members of our
Unit will be mislead by any
separate charter move. We know
that when we divide ourselves
that we stand to lose the things
which we have fought so hard
to gain. Our Unit voted to go
into Local IL, and most of them
are more than satisfied with the
change that has taken place
since they amalgamated.
We wish speedy recovery to
Charles Sheets who is in st.
Vincent's Hospital.

Pledged TO Full
Employment

WASHINGTON, Aug. l (LPA)
= The full-employment bill
now has 103 sponsors in the
House of Representatives, but
many of them expect a hot bat
tie when the proposal comes to
committee hearings in the fall.
Senate hearings on the bill in
troduced by Sen. Murray will
start this week before the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Com
mittee.
Sen. Wagner, chairman of the
committee, has promised that
the hearing will be a demo
cratic forum" :" Preliminary hear
ings will be held on July 80 and
81 and will be continued in
October.
Sabotage of the bill continued
both in and out of Congress. In
the daily press columnists like
Raymond Moley contended that
the legislation held out foolish
promises" Labor and govern
ment officials, however, have
given full support to the pro-
posal while pointing out that it
does not guarantee full employ
ment.
Leaders Plan Campaign
Union leaders, meanwhile,
were planning a campaign to
have voters get in touch with
their congressman when they
return home for the summer
recess. CIO and AFL political
committees planned on meetings
with congressman to obtain
pledges for the support of the
legislation.
Some of the worst sabotage of
the bill continues from indus
trial spokesmen. DR.. Virgil Jor-
dan, president of the Natl Indus
trial Conference Board last
week declared that full en-
ployment program may lead to
serfdom. ANY full employment
or guaranteed-income program
that begins with government as
consumer or dispenser of spend
ing money or purchasing power
to the masses, said Jordan,
must move from the new fa-
miliar phases of forced con-
forced saving and |
compulsory management to the
final stages of forced labor"

e. Of C. Would
Kill Closed Shops

WASHINGTON Aug. l (LPA)
The u. S. Chamber Of Com
merce which just three months
ago signed an industrial peace
pact with both the AFL and CIO
last week gave leaders of both
organizations cause to wonder
whether the c of c entered into
the agreement in good faith.
In mail vote the member
chapters voted 1858 to AZ in fa-
vor of an anti-union proposal
that labor has had to beat down
in Congress a half-dozen times
and will probably have to con-
front again when Congress re-
conveneS in the fall. What the
c of c wants is legislation that
would make unions subject to
the antitrust laws. The lop-
sided 2658-42 vote was on a
proposition which specified that
Labor organizations should be
subject to regulation that will
prevent monopolistic practices
injurious to the public"
Even worse from organized
labor's point of view was the
concluding idea in the same
proposition: "Closed shop provi-
sions in collective bargaining
union contracts should not be
sanctioned"
This anti-labor attitude on the
part of the Chamber makes
sheer nonsense of the manage
ment-labor peace pact which
President Eric Johnston signed"
declared one labor leader.
