TO SMASH DOWN
ON LABOR unions

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The
House Military committee voted to-
day to strip collective bargaining
rights from any unions violating a
no-strike agreement in a contract
with employers.
The vote, taken behind closed
doors, was reported as Is to 9.
The anti-strike provision would
relieve an employer from all con-
tract liability if the union struck
in violation of a no-strike contract.
1t also would make the union liable
for civil damages and would deprive
the union of its collective bargain
ing status for one year. u

SURPLUS Sale
5HCRT-CUTTED
FOR VETERANS
SWPC Official Explains
StreamIined Procedure
for Alaska Only

A distinctive surplus disposal pro-
cedure for Alaska, whereby veter-
ans may bypass Army red tape and
deal directly with the disposal
agency of the Department of the
Interior to secure fulfillment OF
their business needs in jig time, was
announced here today by Herbert
Bittman, Alaska representative OF
the Smaller War Plants Corporation.
The set up now in force for Alaska
is entirely separate from that for
the States, Mr.. Bittman stated, but
in cases where an Alaska veteran
wants a piece of surplus equipment
located in the States, the SWPC Will
act as his agent in securing it.
This new. streamlined procedure is
open only to World War Two vet
Grams, honorably discharged, who
wish to acquire surplus items for
occupational use, MI. Bittman
stressed. The general public, not
possessing the vets priorities, must
purchase on open bid.
On Surrey Trip
The SWPC official has returned
from his survey trip through the
westward and Interior and for a
few days has borrowed use of quar-
tiers in the Forest Service offices
here He plans to leave next Tues
day for Washington, d. c., where he
will seek a final decision on bank
ing practices and policies to guide
activities of his agency in the Terri
tory.
After his return to Alaska, which
he expects will be toward the end
of November, Mr. Bittman will es-
tablish permanent SWPC offices in
Juneau and in Anchorage. Local
personl\l is to be recruited to
staff the offices.
The SWPC and the Department of
the Interior will work in close
agreement on disposal problems in
he said. The Interior De-
partment is to push through sur
vey of all surplus property within
the Territory, each item being an
alyzed and its true condition clear
ly set forth to prospective buy
by guarantee that en-
able buyers to secure chattel-mort-
loans from Alaska
banks, which have expressed their
to cooperate.
For Alaska Sale
The survey will also allocate a
quantity of surplus-based
on population-to adequately fill
Alaska demand before outlets for the
overflow of surplus are sought else
where. Items for Alaska sale will
be selected on basis of immediate
disability 1t is likely that most
pieces of equipment requiring con-
version to adapt it to civilian use
will be shipped back to the States,
Mr. Bittman indicated.
The SWPC agents in Alaska will
be able to conduct the purchase
of aircraft and aircraft parts, in
connection with the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Mr. Bittman
set forth. Also, his agency will be
posted weekly on boats offered for
sale throughout the nation. How
ever, boat sales are made only
through the War Shipping Adj
ministration and are conducted
only on a bid basis.
Mr.. Bittman emphasized the
value of the new short -cut pro-
cedure and how it can bene-
fit the veteran of World War II.
A veteran who hears of or sees
piece of equipment he can use. in
his business, or projected business,
may now go directly to the Army
officer in charge, have him declare
the item surplus, then directly APP
proach the Interior Department for
purchase.
