Renew PdrleYs In
Muchinists' Strike

San Francisco (FP).-With agree
ment by both AFL and CIO machin-
lists to separate negotiations with
shipyard owners, federal conciliators
reopened conferences for settlement
of the strike which began Oct. 29.
About $4,000 machinists, members
of International Association of Ma
chinists (AFL) and United Steelwork-
ers (CIO), are out in 205 shipyards
and and machine shops, keeping some
$4,000 other workers away from their
jobs.
The Bethlehem Steel Corp. has OBJ
tanned temporary injunction against
mass picketing by machinists of its
two Alameda shipyards. Welders and
burners in the International Brother
hood of Boilermakers voted to cross
the machinists picket line at the Gra-
ham Ship Repair plant in Oakland,
scene of the only violence in the
strike
The workers are striking for 300

tions, but intend personally to loof
out for my own special safety.
You can see something like that
working out here at home, too-if
you look sharply enough.
But somehow the United Nations
Organization must work at least well
enough to permit the world to level
up it's economic, educational and cul-
tural valleys.
Sweden and Switzerland are prob
ably the worlds two happiest ma
tions.
Without giants of wealth or ex-
treme poverty, their peoples come
close to sharing in common urge
and common way of thought.
The contagion Of fear, of envy, of
hate, is great. The knowledge that
there is justice, that at least there is
fair opportunity, that bread can be
earned, that the big will not devour
the little, is the foundation of prog
ress and peace, at home and through
the world.
But the world cannot give mere
lip service to that ideal. 1t must be
real and the laws that guard it must
be enforceable by a power that is
not misused.
A tough job ahead? Yes, but des
truction is the alternative.-CMW.

Teachers Demdnd
For Living Wage
Dogs Assembly

Denver (FP). - Long awaited call
for special session Of the Colorado
assembly has been made finally by
Gov. George G. Vivian (R). The ses-
sion has been urged by unionists and
others since We Day because Of the
many state matters neglected by the
top-heayy Republican majority at the
last regular session.
Although the agenda is still a sec
ret, it is feared the subject Of teach
ers' salaries which needs immediate
attention will be omitted. The week
before the call delegates to the Colo
rado Education Association marched
TO the state capitol to personally petit
ton for 81 500 minimum wages. The
governor was conveniently absent
when the demonstrators arrived.
The proposition has been discussed
at length since Vivian announced that
the states surplus cash, estimated
now at $14 million, would be used to
fight the Missouri Valley Authority.
The surplus has been acquired by TAX
ing 50R of the income tax receipts
from the school fund and paying it in
to the general fund. The tax was orig
inally passed for the sole benefit of
the schools.
Result Of the diversion is the sur
plus in the state treasury and the pau
perization of the schools. Five hundred
Colorado schools are closed for lack
of funds and $500 Of the states 5000
teachers receive less than 1,500 a
year.
The surplus is not only supposed
to be held in readiness to combat any
progressive idea but is also strong
talking point for the National Repub-
lican Committee to show the remark
amly efficient business methods of a
Republican administration. The public
demonstration of the teachers in re-
minding said administrators that the
large cash balance is being bled from
the schools was most unwelcome.

The mess all over the world seems
to yield slowly, or not at all, to rea-
son and to reasonable measures.
Sweet reasonableness comes slowly
TO the human race. Did anyone expect
it to spring full bloom, over night,
after the worst war Of history?
We set up a United Nations Organ
ization, even before the was was over,
basing it upon principles which were
called superior to those embodied in
the old League of Nations charter.
We have yet to see to what extent
this new world organization will
work.
Indications at the moment are not
too rosy. For example, the Indonesians
would like some Of the freedom in
dicated in the United Nations charter.
Indonesians had been under Dutch
rule The Dutch don't want to give
them up, but lack the power to force
them to remain. So the British go in
to do the job.
China, the Balkans - the eternal
Balkans - add their clamor to the
chorus of anguish. And the pains of
hunger wrack most parts of Europe.
And here at home the turmoil fits
into the world pattern.
Part of the reason for all of this
is that hardly anybody trusts any
body else, fully.
Old time fears and rivalries still
exist. But there is more than that.
Important as anything else is the
amazingly big and complex fact of
the difference in status Of people and
peoples, Intellectually, culturally and
economically, over the world and
even here at home.
You simply cannot expect a Ru-
manian peasant and a Harvard or Ok
ford professor to understand each
other. They don't think the same
thoughts or speak in the same terms.
Nor yet share-cropper and Gen
eral Motors official.
Those differences occur every
where, nationally and International
ly.
And, through the years, those who
have fought to lift the lower levels
have been hooted at and frustrated
It is not in the cards that hunger
and plenty shall live in mutual trust,
looking over a fence at each other.
One fears more hunger; the other
fears the loss of his plenty.
Or, one fears the loss of his pow
er; the other fears the impact of
that power.
So, for one reason or the other of
those, power politics gives way slow
ly, when at all, to the higher concepts
of the United Nations.
We seek the solidarity of the Wes-
tern Hemisphere; Russia seeks (and
just about has) a Balkan block as a
shield; England broods over her old
time life-lines.
Perhaps and quite probably, with
some reason, each big notion says,
"Of course I'm for the United Ma

SOCIAL SERVICE HEAD K BACK
 FROM FIELD TRIP
Miss Brandebury Confers with Various Depart
 ments, Washington

Miss Alice Brandebury, Director of Social Services, Department of Public Welfare, returned to Juneau following an official field visit to the States.
 The month of November was spent in developing recruitment resources of Social Workers for the Territory. In Washington State conferences were held with the King County Welfare Department in Seattle and with the Washington State Depart ment of Social Security in Olympia on the public assistance and child welfare programs of the Territory.
 Miss Brandebury explained that the public and private social agen- cies in Washington State have been very generous to the Alaska Depart ment of Public Welfare in extend ing social services and providing placement facilities for adults and children for whom there are no fa- cilities for care in Alaska; namely for special medical and hospital care, including the care of tuberculosis
