That is the important thing to re- member. If that work were done elsewhere the rates would have been lower AND YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUT OF A JOB.

company sign contract with them allowing them to work the boats else they will not unload and will picket the Canadian steamers.
 The Canadian company, which can secure all of the tourist passengers it handle whether or not the vessels stop Juneau has indicated that it will simply skip Juneau port of call since the ships derive little revenue from docking at Juneau.
 This would loss of thousands of dollars each month by Juneau businessmen who depend upon the tourist trade and the loss of to many work ing men who make their living from the services and pleasures demanded by tourists.
 The company has agreed to pay the same scale for dock work as the American companies That is not in dispute.
 So if the longshoremen insist on the company meeting their demand in total it will mean setback of no small consequence to this community and in turn to the longshoremen who will have less work and the many other working men cab and bus drivers truck drivers, clerks and saesmen and the like.
 We suggest that this is one instance where the Juneau longshoremen give in to the company without very much loss and gaL vast amount of good will from the people of Juneau by using their power wisely.

 Whats this I hear about you Americans enlarging all your air fields in Italy? Could you be plar- ming to pull something of per manent nature there?"
 Byrnes merely smiled and said:
 What's this I hear about the new Red Army air bases in Bull garia? Were you Russians planning to settle down and stay there in definitely"
 Where did you hear that?" ask ed Molotov.
 Oh replied Byrnes, i've have our sources"
 Well" replied Molctcv, T wouldn't believe every rumor you hear about what's happening in our area"
 Tn that case" Byrnes snapped pack, don't believe everything you hear about what is happening in our zone"
 This conversation gave birth to further discussion which finally led to the important agreement to eva cuate all foreign troops from Italy and Bulgaria.

LaFollette not present, to jeer at LaFollette's statement.
 T am reminded of the old fel- low down in one of the southern states whose reputation was not the best in the world" he said. When he died they inscribed on his tomb stone this epitaph:
 'Hark ye, stranger passing by,
 As you are now, so once was l.
 As I am now, so you must be.
 Prepare for death and follow me-
 One of his neighbors," continued Rankin, read this inscription and wrote these lines under it:
 ITO follow you I'd no consent
 Unless I knew which way you vent"
 A day later, LaFollette took the floor to reply in his own verse:
 If I shall start a new goal to seek,
 From time to time over my shoulder I'll peek.
 And if by chance I find John Rankin behind,
 I'll know I'm wrong and change my mind"

USE POWER WISELY

In America today and Alaska is no exception labor is stronger than has been in history It is in control both economically and politically. It can halt the wheels of nationwide industry. It can close down and ruin large businesses and small Labor is in
 nosition to make great gains for the laboring man and to do great injury to business and the public
 But we believe that labor has not grown up to the responsibility which such power entails. In other words labor has not always used this new power wisely
 Most of the demands of labor for better working conditions fair wages and hours have been justified But there are also times when such demands not justified and it is then that the ill use of power arouses the public wrath against the labor movement The enemies of labor are in position to make the mos. of such isolated mistakes. The result is grow inc demand upon the Congress of the United States to pass legislation clipping the wings of labor organza- tions requiring them by law to accept responsibilities
 The confidence of the public in the ability of ahor to meet the challenge of leadershop is lessenng all the time.
 That is why we say labor must use its power wisely It must not always expect to Win every oe- mand but should give ground on some things
 Here in Juneau the whole community faces a serious setback unless the Juneau ongshoremen recede from demand made against the Canadian Pacific Railway which operates steamers to and from Alaska carrying mainly tourist passengers-ttle freight IL The company we are told will not sign agree
 ens with dockworkers in foreign ports one of which is Juneau It has also been the practice in the past for the sailors on the Canadian boats to work the boats in the unloading of little freight and baggage and mail while the Juneau ongshoremen work on the docks This gives the Canadian sailors overtime pay which brings their total pay voyage up nearer that received by American Seamen

The Cost to Labor
CWashington Post)

The Ford Motor Company estimates that its em- ployees have lost more than 237 million dollars in wages since September l through enforced work stoppages And they still losing because all the Ford plants are closed down and the company has no idea when it will be able to resume operations These figures particularly arrestng, because Ford em- ployees have not been strike at any time during the period mentioned Their ideness has been chiefly caused by strikes in plants supplying Ford with parts by the steel strike by the coal strike and the rall freight embargo reslting from the coal strike.
 We have fallen into loose habit of talking as if the cost of strikes had to be borne by a vague entity called 'the public" set apart in some un- explained fashion from workers who belong to labor unions The plight of the Ford workers is reminder that the millions of men and who belong to labor unions constitute sZable fraction of the public and bear dsproportionaely large share of the cost of strikes for enforced shutdowns of plants cause widespread losses of employment to nonstrikers as well strikers.
 The walkout of railway engineers and trainmen has already brought about the closing of many estab lishments throwing their employees temporarily out of jobs long continued it will bring about state of jobessness unparalleled in the history of the country And even if the rail strike should be settled shortly failure keep the coal miners at work would force millions of other wage to remain idle counting up the cost of strikes therefore, workers may well begin to wonder whether the gains resulting from them are worth the price that has to be paid in loss of wages not merely through direct action by their own unions but also through the action of other organized groups that they cannot control influence in any way.
 Our industrial system closely resembles machine in which breakdown of even a small part may bring the whole mechanism to standsti Once that fact is fully realized and its social and economic implica tions are understood believe that organized labor will be less eager to employ the strike a weapon of coercion.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 This should be favorable day for breaking off with old and un- profitable habits, and beginning new habits that promise increased efficiency and satisfaction in daily living. Some will find it beneficial to put their aims and ideals in a written record by which they may from time to time, check their pro- press.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The stars warn against a negative, defeatist attitude which may re- suit from the confusion, interrup- tions and delays which have beset business since the end of the war. Realism and pessimism are by no means synonymous terms; the real ist may also be an optimist, and the confident expectation of good is a far healthier state of mind than the chronic fear of trouble and failure.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 There are clear signs that the lines of partisan politics are slowly fading and that coming elections will be decided on the basis of issues which have little or nothing to do with party alliances. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 As it is not necessary for two families to occupy the same house in order to live in peace with each other, so is it possible for two na- tions or two groups of nations to maintain harmonious relations With out intimacy. Two economic worlds or one, enduring peace is not only possible, but althogether probable.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of good health and contentment.
 Children born today will be quick witted and clever with their hands. They should enjoy long and useful lives.

PARIS NEWS BLACKOUT

Here's what happened behind closed doors in Paris during the fight which led to the Big Four news blackout.
 British Foreign Minister Bevin first proposed the blackout. Secre- tary Byrnes protested He pointed out that he had to keep the Ameri- can people informed of what he did in Paris, and he warned that everything would leak out sooner or later anyway.
 Bevin, however. said flatly that if Britain was to get together with the other three powers on Trieste, the negotiations would have to be secret. So, reluctantly, Byrnes agreed to ending the news leaks on what is happening at the Confer ence.

 Note - Some observers wished that Secretary Byrnes had support ed Molotov in urging that the Bri- tish Army be withdrawn from Greece. If so, there might have heen results.
