Union Leaders Hit Kan Revival

Spokesmen for the AFL and CIO warned last Sunday in ra- dio address that the revival of the ku Klux Klan meant long, hard fight for unionism in the South.' 9 Charles H. Merrill, Treasurer of the Massachusetts Council of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and John Collins, Assistant Re- gional Director of the CIO, took part in the broadcast over Station WORL. MT. Merrill appeared on behalf of William V. Ward, na- tional Vice-President of the State and County Employees Union.
 ~The Ku Klux Kan knows" MT. Merrill Said, "that as long as the fiction of Anglo-Saxon white supremacy is maintained in the South, exploitation of workers can continue. But the fiction of white supremacy can only survive where there is insecurity and where enc man can be pitted against an- other in the struggle for job"

Dr. l. N. Porter
 Memorial Fund
By Mrs. Laura Mccoy

Looking through an old scrap book (1922) today, memories were recalled of a prominent Negro physician who by grit, hard work and patience became leading citizen and outstanding medico in the city of New Haven. After graduating in 1903 from Yale Medical School, Dr. I. N. Porter started his practice in this city at 198 DixweH Ave, where he con- tinued until his passing in 1924. Dr. Porter was born in Summit Bridge, Delaware, on October 15, 1865, and the history of his many difficulties in struggling to com plete his elementary eductaion i'll the public schools should be an in centive to our Negro youth of to- day. Still determined to reach his goal he matriculated at Lincoln University in 1886. A civic mind ed person, Dr. Porter was thirty second degree Mason, a member of the United Order of Odd Eel Jews and a charter member of East Rock Lodge Al, one of the first race members of the Histori- cal Society, Chamber of Com merce and the American Medical Society.
 That his memory may be an in- spiration to the youth of today, a memorial will be placed in the new Grace-New Haven Hospital, which will be the largest hospital in the world when completed.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 3l.-Repub- lican State Publicity Director Ed Hunter says the COP last night at tracted the largest crowd ever to attend political rally in Denver Some 1000 persons turned out to hear political speeches-and to get nylons, soap powder, shortening and white shirts, given away free to 250 lucky ticket holders.
 The Democrats at first planned to take court action against the Republicans on the ground that the giving away of prizes was viola tion of Colorado election laws. But then they decided not to, with the State Democratic Chairman saying the Democrats had decided to wait until the COP gave away a new automobile, with Betty Grable, and then the Democrats would attend the rally, too.

TRICKS OR TREAT MAY SUFFER FROM
 sNlpp!NG STRIKE E

Goblins, ghosts and kids may roam the streets tonight in the tra- ditional Halloween manner, and the city police are repeating the warning that while innocent pranks by the kids will be quite in order, no vandalism will be dondoned
 But the custom of Tricks or Treats wholeheartedly adopted by the Juneau youngsters may suffer slight sethack, what with the maritime strike holding up deliy- cries on everything, and the sub sequent high prices of such things as apples and oranges. There is a definite shortage Of candies, and cookies are not as plentiful as in the past. So the adults who are usually so generous on this parti- cular night are asking the young stefs to please be bit lenient with their tricks" if the expected treats are not forthcoming.

Charles Smith Wires thai Briggs Steamship Co.
 Will Start Service

Charles Smith, President of the Juneau Merchants Association who has been in Seattle for the past
 week. today sent the following
 telegram to Henry Hogue, Secretary of the Executive Board of the As sociation:
 Negotiations with Briggs Steam
 ship Company assure us permanent
 and satisfactory shipping arrange ments from Prince Rupert serving
 all of Southeast Alaska. Complete details when I return
 P. J. Briggs, President of the
 Briggs Steamship Corporation, wrote a letter, dated October 2l, outlining the companys plan for
 Southeast Alaska operations. It
 was directed to Jack Fletcher, and
 was turned over by Fletcher to the Executive Board of the Juneau
 Merchants Association.
 The letter stated that Briggs
 Steamship Corporation plans to put
 two vessels in operation by April
 l, l947 They will be self-propslled barges of approximately 250 tons cargo capacity, completely refriger- ated. Annual combined cargo ca pacity of the two vessels would be 21 900 tons, working on l0-day
 schedule out of Prince Rupert, B. ,C. Briggs suggested that one barge
 might serve Sitka, the other Skag-
 way as the far terminus of it's run. Rates, he said, would average 20
 percent lower than the existing freight rates from Seattle. But ac- tual savings would be much more than just the cut in freight rates. The steamship company would of fer a buying agency service, or il buyers desired they could make purchases individually direct. The company service would buy direct from the Midwest, close to the source of goods This procedure
 would eliminate the Seattle buyer as a middleman.
 Goods would be gathered in cen- tral points in pool cars, going through Canada to Prince Rupert in bond. The cars would be de- livered direct to the dock and un- loaded directly into the barges, thus eliminating warehouse and drayage charges.
 Charles Smith, Merchants Asso- citation President, flew south last week to Seattle for conferences with Briggs and representative from the Ketchikan merchants It will not be known until he returns to Juneau how soon the service will actually be inaugurated, but local merchants are hoping for an early start.

SHIP READY, CONDITIONS
 MADE OVER
Earlier Agreement on Sail- ing Status Is Chdnged-
 Looks Like Long Strike

SEATTLE, Oct. 3l.--Attempts to send another relief ship to Alaska hit new stumbling blocks today as the Maritime Commission desig- mated a vessel but imposed condi- tions differing from the agreement reached earlier between relief agen- cies and the unions.
 Lieut.. Comdr. Edward P. Chester, Jr., Navy Aide to Alaskas Gov- ernor, directing efforts to obtain the ship, said he hoped to get a prompt meeting of all parties in- volved
 The Maritime Commission an- ncunced here approval of the mo- torship Grommet Reefer, a 5,000- ton refrigerator dry cargo ship, to make the trip under these condi- ticns:
 "The cargo shall be received, loaded and discharged and the ship manned under conditions of em- ployment and wage rates prevailing Sept. 30, l946,
 Return cargo sufficient to guar antee the vessel against financial loss for the round voyage shall be loaded at Alaskan ports and dis charged at destination"
 Agent Designated
 The Alaska Steamship Company was designated to handle the ves- sci. which is to sail to Kodiak and ports lack along the Alaskan coast isolated by the maritime strike. Recently the Cordova was permit ted to go to Nome as a relief ship, but unions charged this week It was loading commercial cargo at ports on it's return in violation of agreement. The Alaska Steamship Company denied such loading was a violation.
 Last week, in attempts to get second relief ship approved, Com mander Chester, Mayor William F. Devin and J. J. Lichtenwalrer, members of relief committee, signed an agreement with the CIO- Northwest Committee for Maritime Unity which provided.
 Any ship used for the above named purposes shall return from Alaska in ballast, which ballast shall be of a non-reVenue type
 The agreement also provided the crew chosen to operate the ship must be Satisfactory to beth the GNU and operators"

 OUT GOAL STRIKE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 John L. Lewis appears certain today to emerge a bigger winner than ever vita his forthcoming contract fight with the Government. Negotiations open tomorrow morning on Lewis demand for new contract for his 100000 AFL soft coal miners.
 Lewis is holding the whip hand as a result of the tacit but none theless real threat Of another strike by the United Mine Workers.
 As a result. all signs point to eventual new Government conces- sions. The general expectation is that the Government may offer a compromise calling for a reduced work-week at the current rate Of pay for the 54-hour week. The miners now receive overtime after 35 hours.

U. CANADA STUDY TERI MS OF FACREEMENT
In,ort of Govts. 10 Be De- eiding Factor in Use of
 Alaska Highway
By HARRY T. MONTGOMERY

By HARRY T. MONTGOMERY OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 31-A de- cision on the dispute between the United States and Canada over use of the Alaska Highway by American trucks is expected with in a day or two" a high Can adian authority said today.
 The wording of the agreement on the highway" is little am biguous, whether the intent of the agreements was to permit such shipping, he said.
 Senator Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash) protested to the U. $. State Department several days ago that Canadian officials refused to allow passage of goods in bond over the Alaska Highway from the United States and the U. s. Gov ernment then took the matter up with the Canadian Government.
 In. an exchange of notes on March IT and Is, 1942, the United States and Canada agreed to these conditions, among others, covering the postwar use of the Highway.
 At the conclusion of the war that part of the Highway which lies in Canada shall become in all respects an integral part of the Canadian highway system, subject to the understanding that there shall at no time he imposed any discriminatory conditions in rela- tion to the use of the road as between Canadian and United States civilian traffic." and
 "The Canadian Government agrees to waive import duties and transit or similar charges on ship ments originating in the United States and to be transported over the Highway to Alaska or originat- ing in Alaska and to be transport cd over the Highway to the United States"
 Tn connection with the first paragraph quoted, it was pointed cut that Canadians are not per- mitted to ship in bond over Can adian highways, so that refusal Of the right to Americans would not necessarily be discriminatory. An answer to the second para graph might be that it was meant to apply to building materials and other supplies in connection with construction of the Highway.
 It was stated today, however, that the intent of the two Gov ernments in drawing up the notes would be the determining factor.
 In this connection, the Associat- cd Press was informed by an of ficial familiar with the drawing up of the agreements that it was his understanding that such ship nents as those now disputed were To he permitted
