By G. MCMAHON

As you all know our regular meeting scheduled for April IA was cut short out of respect for Presi- dent Roosevelt. There was business to attend to but no one had the heart to go on with it, so after pay ing our humble tribute, in the form of one minute silence maintained by the members in attendance, the meeting ~waS adjourned, and the business left for another time.
 The date decided upon to take up our unfinished business Is Satur- day April 28. This meeting will be called at 100 p.m., and will be held in the ILA Hall in New London. The work will be taken care of just as briefly as possible, and will be fol- lowed by a social for all IBEW members. Arrangements have been made to serve beer and sandwiches so be there, and mix little pleasure with your business.
 This get together should prove both instructive and entertaining for all. It Is imperative that every laember who can possibly attend, be there. It is a fine gesture to wear your green and black. .AF of l. pin of your Electricians Local, and to keep up to date on your dues, but frank

ly, this is not enough. To be effec- tive we must, each and every one of us, get behind our union and give it our personal support.
 The only way to accomplish this is by attending all meetings, and take an active part in them. Your officers and stewards are doing their part, make 1t your business to do yours.
 This past week has been sad one for our local. Mrs. John P Hunters a charter member, received official notification from the Government that her soldier husband was killed in action while fighting in Germany. We all join in offering our deepest sympathy to Mrs. John P. Hunter and hope the knowledge that her husband died hero will buoy her up in her hour of need. Another member, Richard Sawyer, lost his life in a. tragic accident while re- pairing the engine in his fishing boat. We join with his host of friends in extending, to his widow and family, our sincere sympathy.
 That just about takes in all we have to say at this time so until, this Saturday, April 28 at the ILA Hall, so long!

FROM THE
 EDITORS WORK BENCH
Franklin DelanO Roosevelt

Almighty God has seen fit to take from us a great man who loved, and was beloved, by all humanity.
 No man could possibly fill the tremendous void left by the passing of that noble soul. No words can ease the aching hearts of untold mill lions of every race, creed and color. The world knows it has lost heroic champion of justice and freedom.
 His loss from the world will be felt keenly by all Liberty loving people everywhere. The world has lost one of its foremost citizens, the United States its Chief Executive and organized Labor on the North American Continent, its best friend.
 The best way that Labor and our citizenship everywhere can bestow memorial that is befit- ting his memory is to not raise monument to his Great Name, but to carry out his great ideals of a permanent and lasting WORLD PEACE! Franklin Delano Roosevelts body has been laid to rest but his SOUL GOES MARCHING ON!

Labor Advances
By Ruth Dembo

lonesome track that bore the body of Franklin D. Roosevelt to it's final burial ground. And 1t was a people with lonely heart who went about their daily. work again to complete the tasks of war and peace. For FDR was a man of the people and 1t is the people who will miss him. It was the people who voted him into four terms of office, it is the people who will bring into. living reality his pro- gram for international security and 6O,O0O,0OO jobs.
 Roosevelt like Lincoln could feel the pulse of the common man and map his program to fulfill their needs We who voted for him and worked for his election four times knew it while he was alive. Many more know it now that he is dead. It was Roosevelt's vision of bet ter life for ordinary people that gave American workers collective bargaining, unemployment insur- ance, workmen's compensation, a Wagner Labor Relations Act. It was Roosevelt who framed the Bill of Economic Rights that will go down in history along with the bill of (politicaD Rights. He saw that political freedom without economic freedom is not enough and his en- tire domestic program was planned to give the people an economy of planty. Security was the keynote to his whole program at home and abroad. And he knew that secur- ity could not be achieved in narrow isolation. A world could not en- dure half slave and half free.
 It was largely through Roose- velts efforts that the leaders of the Big Three representing their re- spective nations were able to form the Coalition without which the war could not be won and without which the peace cannot be won. Hitler's last hope of survival lay in driving a wedge between the United States, Great Britain and Soviet Russia. This is his last weapon. We must not let this come to pass. Any act, any word which weakens our Coalition be- trays the memory of President Roosevelt and all the other soldiers who died in this war.
 Roosevelt knew what Fascist en- slavement meant to a people and Fascism was his bitterest enemy. That is why our first duty to the world and to him is the complete and utter destruction of Fascism and all its manifestations. Econ- 'omic slavery, racial superiority, and religious bigotry were the things he hated most. We must uproot these evils from all phases of our life. And more. We must have positive program, one that ever aims toward elevating the standard of living for all people.
 Along with our new President, Harry Truman, we must unite to- ward this goal. The United Ma tions meeting in San Francisco will be one of the testing grounds. There will be more. But strong and determined people must be ready to meet the challenge. We must work now with increased fervor to insure democracy for all men and peace for the whole world.

CHAMBER REp0RTS ON BARTLETT BILL
 ON FREIGHT RATES

The Transportation Committee of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce has issued the following report on Delegate Bartlett's bill to authorize the Alaska Railroad to operate Alas ka vessels. The Chamber has adopted the report, which was drawn up by Jack Burford, Norman Banfield and Robert Martin:
 The Juneau Chamber Of Com merce reprints for your information a copy of the report of it's Trans portation Committee on the Bill H. R. 4731, TO Authorize the Alaska Railroad to operate ocean, gcing vessels" This report was adopted by the Chamber as mat ter of policy at the regular meet ing last week.
 The Transportation Committee has studied HR 4731, a Bill in Con- gress to give the Alaska Railroad authority to engage in tte steam ship business between points in the United States and places in Alaska. It has also studied the remarks of Delegate Bartlett which are printed

in the Congressional Record and which have been read to the Cham Der at a general meeting. Your committee concurs in MT. Bartlett s statements and particularly his conclusion that operation by the Railroad is not desirable unless this is the only way to avoid an increase in freight rates.
 At the present time the War Shipping Administration is paying a large operating deficit which we have good reason to believe will not be paid after March 2, l946 The War Shipping Administration is a war agency and will not exist after it can dispose of it's property and operations. If this is the reason for turning the ships back to their owners or some other agency on March 2. l946, as has been indicat- ed from a reliable source, there is no possibility of forestalling such action very long.
 We believe from all information available that no private operator can continue service in Alaska on it's own resources very long, and unless rates are raised or aid giv- en in the form of subsidy or a government agency designated to operate the vessels or unless the operators can eliminate wartime excessive costs and restore an eff cient operation, Alaska will soon be without service now maintained

 LoopBowIing

Fred Jennings Also Rams and Claude Carnegies Hazbinns con- tinued their winning ways in Major League bowling last night at the Elks, doubling up on their clean sweeps of the week before to hold their one-two positions in tie loop standings.
 Both clubs have now cleaned up on all other opposition and the Henning outfit owes it's one-game edge to taking the odd line from Carnegie's fivesome in the circuits crening session.
 Captain Carnegie set a hearty pace for his cohorts last night, counting a 6O1 set total-the lea gue's second 600 mark. Though Captain Carnegie's 225 third game was tops for the night, it was near ly matched by teammate Leonard Holmquist, who chalked up PA. A third 200 count, by Ed Radde, ran the Hazbinns total for that third game up to 957 team high toward a top team match total of 2,747.
 In the other match, a short handed Amachoor outfit lived up to its name, being outclassed all the way by the leading Also Ran quin- tet.
 Next competitive bowling session at the Elks is Friday evening, when the Merchant Leaguers trun- de their mixed hooks down the maple.

glecting maintenance for lack of money.
 "6. The Alaska Railroad is notor- iously slow in paying the claims it does pay and rejects a large amount of claims which are substantiated by what is ordinarily considered satisfactory evidence.
 "7 We have no indication as to what policy would or could be main tained to assure service to isolated communities, the frequency of ser vice to the larger communities, what provisions would be made for seasonal trade or what rates would be charged.
 Your committee believes serious study should be given to consid- eration of Bill to authorize oper- ation ,of vessels by the Maritime Commission since they have al- ways operated in foreign trade. It should be better qualified to assume this duty. It should not be assum- ed, however, unless it is the only way that higher rates can be avoid ed"
