IMPROVEMENTS
 ARE DISGUISED,
 LI0N5LUNCHE0N

1 Civic improvements was the big topic of discussion at the regular Lions Club luncheon at tine Baranof today. The club went on record as favoring the Douglas rock fill ap- preach to the Douglas dock, and any other legislation that would improve , the channel area. A committee composed of Lions Frank Marshall, Herbert Waugh, Fred Henning, Val Poor and Oscar Elison was appointed to help sponsor such projects that will help the whole community.
 Some discussion centered on pos sible airport terminal facilities, and it was agreed that other civic or ganizations in the community were already hard at work on this project, and better results would be obtained by cooperating with them.
 Lion Don Foster presented three colorful ties to his fellow Lions who were on a recent quiz program and Lions Frank Marshall, Barney And erson and Ernie Lincoln agreed to wear them to the next Lions meet ing.
 Lion Ed. Lewis introduced Collen Sharpe who entertained the club with a solo and dance; also Joan Rhodes who played an accordian solo, and Lane Rolf who sang a solo.
 Lion Milo Clouse introduced Leon- ard Smith, who will shortly become the new Territorial Highway En- gineer, who spoke briefly on pro- posed highway and airfield projects. Guests were John Smith, Mayor of Metlakatla; Herbert Murchisn, ex-Mayor of Metlakatla; Joseph H. Storms, Pan American Airways em- ployee from Seattle, and Harold Butcher of Anchorage.

WATERFALL CURED
 ON CITY HALL BLDG.

Something is missing at the City Hall today. No. Nobody stole any, thing But, the waterfall that used to make the south steps virtually useless in downpour, is gone.
 Some months ago Mayor A. B Hayes brought the attention of the members of the City Council to the waterfall. They voted to have a rainpipe constructed to channel the water into the main drain.
 We'll, because of the war you know and the resulting shortages, it took longer than it normally does, but over the week end the city crew put the newly-made pipe in place.
 Now, the only thing that might be dangerous are the pigeons roasting about the south steps.

BROKEN HYDRANT
 CAUSES STREAM
 ON STARR HILL

Residents on Star Hill last night weren't dreaming they were living next to a bubling stream. It was the truth, and not just the result of eat ing a Dagwood sandwich before re- tiring for the night.
 It happened this way. A hydrant resting in a wooden box on wood- en main, broke away. Old age in the wood, say city street department officials today. Result-a miniature river flowing down the hill to the drain box on the corner of East Street and Sixth.
 However, the river has been dried |up now and repairs to the hydrant were completed today, according tc report from Roy Thomas, street foreman.

RED GROSS HAS PLENTY OF WORK,
 SAYS ROBERTSON
Various Duties Performed by Juneau Chapter
 Are Revealed

The Juneau Chapter, through its Home Service Section, renders a great variety of gratuitous services not only to members of the armed forces, but also to civilians who are directly affected by the war, says R. E. Robertson of the Juneau Red Cross Chapter.
 It sends letters from civilians in Alaska to members of the military forces; civilians in many occupied countries, and prisoners of war. During January and February, the Juneau Chapter transmitted or re- ceived many of these messages for civilians in Juneau, Douglas, Peters, burg and Harbor Island. No charge is made for this service.
 The Home Service Section also investigates and furnishes to mili- tary personnel information about their families conditions and in- vestigates matters of this kind when requested to do so by the commanding officers of the re- spective military personnel. During the past SO days, the Juneau Chap ter has handled at least 30 investi- gations, involving many telegrams, sent without cost to the soldier, the sailor, or to his family. These in- yestigations have often led to the granting of emergency furloughs to the soldier or sailor to permit him to come home to attend to home affairs.
 Loans Are Made
 The Juneau Chapter frequently makes loans to soldiers and sailors who are on emergency furlough or who have been granted a furlough. Several loans were made during January and February. Ordinarily, the borrower pays the loan at the rate of $5 or $10 per month. No interest is charged; but, such loans cannot be made except upon the prior approval of the commanding officer of the soldier or sailor.
 The Home Service Section also makes inquiries as to the present address and whereabouts of sailors and soldiers and also of the mem bers of their families. Numerous such inquiries have been made, but of course some good reason must exist for their being made before the chapter undertakes them,
 These are just few of the ordi- nary, everyday things done by the Juneau Chapter on behalf of both members of the military forces and civilians. Necessarily, it is all done under certain rules of procedure. But there is scarcely a town or hamlet within the Juneau Chapter area but in which during the past few weeks one or more of these services have been rendered to either members of the military forces or to members of their families.
 All of this work is done by vol unteers, who receive no pay. In Juneau, Miss Hazel M. Forde, CWS worker and representative, Terri torial Department of Public Well fare, and Chief of Police John Monagle and his policemen often help the chapter in this work. In outlying towns, aid has often been given in the work by postmasters, school teachers, U. s. Commission CTS, and town officials. In Peters burg, Earl Dinner aids Mrs. Marion G. Smith, Secretary of the Peters burg Branch, in carrying out these functions of Red Cross work.
 Incidentally, have you contributed to the current Red Cross Campaign Fund, asks Robertson.

'UneIected Government

Cecil B. De Mile. whose personal
clash with organized labor has be-
come matter of national interest,
believes that the growth of unionism
has resulted in the building up in
this country of IAN unelected gov
eminent which is superseding in
power and authority the elected
government" On the face of the
facts as they exist today this seems
to be an overstatement, yet it can
hardly be denied that the trend in
labor activity lends some support to
Mr.. De Miles complaint.
Mr.. De Miles radio show was
forced off the air by the American
Federation of Radio Artists when
he refused, as a matter of principle,
to pay a 81 assessment which the
union had levied on its members to
fight proposed amendment of the
California constitution that would
have banned the closed shop in the
State 1t is possible that this expert
ence has caused the movie producer
to take an unduly apprehensive view
of expanding union power, and it
may be felt that his comment should
be discounted accordingly. If this
be so, however, there are other in
stances which tend to support the
aoofoy1finy, ho
That union power is capable of
challenging, if not superseding, the
authority of government was shown
by the manner in which John L.
Lewis enforced his demands against
the War Labor Board. James C.
Petrillo has added something to the
demonstration. And even in indus
tries where the closed shop has not
been generally adopted-in Detroit,
for example-the extent OF the
power of organized labor is just be-
ginning to be fully appreciated.
Ten years ago organized labor, in
the national sense, was weak. In
most industries the employers were
the stronger member of the indus
trial team, and some of them did not
hesitate to abuse their power in
their relations with their employees.
This led to the passage of the
Wagner Act and other laws whose
avowed purpose was to bring about
an equality" of bargaining power
as between employers and employees.
But that point, in the main, has
long since been passed. Today it is
the unions which enjoy the pre-
ponderance OF power in the en-
ployer- employe relationship, and If
Mr.. De Mile is correct, even in rela-
lions with the Government.
This may or may not give concern
to the men who shape union policy.
But if they are devoted to the long
range interests of labor they will
remember what happened when in
dustry abused its power, and they
will keep in mind the fact the people
of this country are additionally
hostile to abuse of power from any
source.
