sion and some action at last eve ning's session, when the Finance Committee, to which the matter Of H. R. 2704 was referred at the last meeting, made it's report. Council man John Young, chairman, stated that copy of the amendment pro- posed by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce has been obtained and also read a communication received from Delegate E. L. Bartlett declar- ing that the Delegate intends to propose an amendment to his orig inal bill-which has met with much opposition from Alaska community groups - but has not yet decided upon what form his amendment will take.
 Councilman R. H. Williams sug- gested that it might be wise to stay any Council action until the Dele gate has shown just what he in- tends: but Councilman Harry Lea countered by renewing the motion he made at the last meeting that the Council go on record against the measure unless it is amended to make is conform to provisions for approval by 55 percent of the voting taxpayers for any indebtedness a City Council may wish to incur for revenue producing purposes-as is required for general obligation bonds issued by Alaska cities.
 Lea Loses vote
 Councilman Lea refused to accede to further efforts to delay action put forward by the public-owner- shipminded faction of the Council and pushed his motion to a vote which resulted in its defeat, with only Councilmen Lea and Edward Nielsen voting on the affirmative side.
 Councilman Young then offered a motion, which carried over Lea's lonely NO" vote, that the Council write Delegate Bartlett, opposing the bill as originally offered but asking for opportunity to review such amendments as the Delegate may decide to submit. With that action the matter was laid to rest for the time being.
 Mayor Parsons asked and was granted authority to call for bids, to be returned by the next meeting on June 15, for renewal of the City s industrial compensation insurance, which is due to expire June 2l. Bids are to be asked in lump-sum amounts based on the estimated payroll. The form of bid was sug- gested by Curtis Shattuck, repre- senting the present underwriters with Councilman Stanley V. Grum- nett moving for the authorization seconded by Councilman Young.
 Filling Needed
 City Engineering James L. Nc Namara reported that he had made an examination of piling at the Small Boat Harbor and found 9' bling in need of replacement within a short time-three of them having aready fallen. He explained tha the 97 piling included those tha would be required to extend three of the floats another section, ap

boats. He reported that the City has on hand 100 creosoted piles, of which 30 are earmarked for replace ments at the City Dock. He also declared that No float is in need of complete replacement very soon
 A vote carried to call for sealed bids for replacement of the one float and such other piling as required and extension of the Nos. ?, and 4 floats as proposed by the engineer. Options may be included in the bids for driving piling for 60 feet of gridiron as projected year ago and for piling replacements at the City Dock.
 Harold B. Foss, architect for the Federal Public Housing Authority on the projected 30-family devel- opment on Willoughby Avenue here, asked the City's permission to secure approximately 875 cubic yards of low grade gravel from the City's pit at Salmon Creek. The gravel, he said. would be used for surfac- ing a portion of the rock-fill to be made on the tidelands where the project is to be located.
 Mayor Parsons expressed ms thought that the City should surely cooperate with the Government in such development designed for the City's benefit and a motion to per- init use of that amount of the City's gravel carried.
 Nursing Ante Upped
 After kicking the matter around for month, the Council finally took action on the Territorial Health Departments request for an increase in the City's ante toward main i taining the Public Health Nursing Service in Juneau Councilman Will Hams reported. for his Health Con- mittee that other Alaskan cities Of | Juneau's size have been paying to maintain two nurses for the work. Heretofore Juneau has been bene- fitting by having the services Of such nurses as are in training TOT additional service Two nurses perm- anently stationed here are needed, however, he declared, to properly handle immunization work and to promote venereal disease control.
 The Council voted to approve pr. lC. c. Carter's request, as Health | Commissioner, for increase in Ju- neau's payment for the work from $500 to $2,o0o per year.
 Routine Stuff
 Most of the remainder of the 1 Council session was taken up by routine matters, including reading of the Police and Street Depart ment reports for the month of May. l&aong accomplishments of the Street Department were setting up of playground equipment in Ever green Bowl, moving Quonset Hut from Duck Creek to the Small Boat Harbor for the Harbor Masters use and street surfacing and improve ments. It was voted that the Street Department be authorized to erect a barricade along the upper side oi Calhoun Avenue at the end oi Fifth Street to impede children from endangering themselves by
 jumping off the wall there into the heavy traffic of Calhoun Avenue.

$330 Monthly Set for Reni Of City Dock
Council Not Pleased with 10% Inuease-Asks for
 Moneyin Lieu ofPainf

A ten percent increase recom- mended by neutral arbitrator George E. Cleveland will result in monthly rental payments of S330 to the City from the Northland Transportation Company. The board of arbitration decision. reported to the Juneau City Council at it's first meeting of the month last night, is binding on both the City and the steamship firm, according to the provisions of the lease agreement.
 With City representative Howard D. Stabler holding out for the S50O per month the Council had asked for the second five year period ot the lease term and Northland rep resentative R. E. Robertson adamant that the rental should not be raised beyond the $500 monthly formerly paid. it was left to Arbitrator Cleve- land to settle the issue-which he did after a thorough study of the City's investment in the dock prop 
 critics.
 S12,I08 Profit
 MT. Cleveland reported his find ings that the S3600 per year gross income had returned to the City over the first five year period a net of $12,l0S, the equivalent of a 7.26 percent profit on the capital in- vestment in the dock. He there upon advised the $30 per month rental increase, in which MT. Rob- ertson concmred to form majority of the arbitration board.
 Not too well pleased with the de- cision, but nevertheless forced to accept it, the Council moved fol some further return from the dock property by authorizing Mayor Ern- est Parsons to take up with the Northland Transportation Company a proposal that, in lieu of paintine the dock, as the agreement provides the lessee shall do every five years the Northland company should re- init the cost of painting to the City the amount to be paid to be set by estimates by at least two painting contractors.
 It was explained that no alum mum paint is available with whicl to paint the property and that paint ing is not at present needed any way.

 Sidewalk requests from L. J. Holm ouist and Dorothy Stearns Rolf at their residence properties on Sixth Street, adjoining the property Of Nick Rocovich for whom a perma- nent sidewalk and change of grade have already been approved, were given a "Yea" vote by the Council on the usual basis that two thirds of the cost be paid by the property owners.
 Bids for Sidewalks
 City Engineer McNamara stated that approximately 500 feet of new sidewalks have already been ap- proved and it was voted to call for sealed bids for their installation.
 A letter from Delegate Bartlett was read concerning the bill intro duced in Congress by Representa- tive Angel, of Oregon, for hos pital for Alaska's insane to be To- cated at Portland, Oregon. The Delegate acknowledged the declara- tion of the Juneau Council fol location of the hospital here and stated Representative DeLacy, of Seattle, has offered another. bill fol establishment of the hospital in that city. He further stated that he also has introduced a bill for the hospital to be located in Alaska and declared that when the Territories Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives gets around to consider ing the three bills he will do all he can to back his Alaska proposal.

Labor Declines
 Blank Check On No-Strike Pledge
Feels It Should Not Be Asked To Enter Recon
 version Period Defenseless

LabOr's wartime nO-strike pledge has expired, and the trade union movement is writing out no ''blanx check" offer to renew it. That was made clear this week by leaders of organized labor in Connecticut and nationally. It is known that this is the firm conviction of Sec.-Treas. Harold V. Feinmark, of the Conn. Federation of Labor.
 The pledge was entered into shortly after Pearl Harbor flor the dura- tion"-and no longer. It was kept ir good faith. On a percentage basis, the record of observance was go 0/10 per cent-and even the one-tenth of one per cent of work losses caused by stoppages during the war were more than made up by toll on legal holi- days.
 Workers paid heavy penalty
 for the pledge. For example, by
 disarming themselves of their
 major weapon, they lost many
 millions of dollars in wage in.
 creases which they were entitled
 to, and might have won had they
 resOrted to strikes.
 Enough Is Enough
 They are not complaining now about the sacrifices, but they feel labor should not be expected to enter the reconversion period defenseless. That's why labor's answer has been No" to a flood of statements from public officials urging continuation of the no-strike pledge, without corre- spending commitments from manage ment.
 However, that doesn't mean a deluge of strikes is imminent. As matter of fact, work stoppages this week were down almost to the zero mark. And President William Green of the A. F. of l.. announced that even though the no-strike pledge is ended, workers are being urged to ''act with patience and restraint, avoiding any action which would delay resumption of full-scale peacetime production"
 Also, Robert Watt, A. F. of L. in- ternational representative and labor of the National War Labor Board, declared that while the pledge has terminated, strikes can be avoided if employers enter into collective bar gaining in good faith and give work CTS a square deal.
