ART EXHIBIT NOW
 ONLY g DAYS OFF

There are just nine more days un- til exhibitors must have their dis plays at the Scottish Rite Temple for the second annual arts and crafts for the second annal arts and crafts exhibit being sponsored by the Ju- neau Woman's Club with Miss Alice Brandebury as committee chairman.
 The exhibit is to open Friday af- ternoon, Jan. 25, but exhibitors must get their displays to the building and in the hands of the display chair men Jan. 24. The doors will open at o'clock Thursday morning for that purpose. and due to the size of the exhibit it's has been necessary to make rule which must be adhered to regarding the time when exhibits must reach the hall.
 MT. and Mrs. Floyd Fagerson are the display chairmen, and will ar range displays to the best possible advantage for each article, the space allotted each depending upon the extensiveness of the exhibit. Should the showing be as large as is antici- pated it may be necessary to give slightly less space than contemplat- ed originally in some instances.
 The downstairs parlors will be used for exhibition purposes and the ball room will be used by the speak CTS. A number of speakers will discuss subjects it is felt will be of interest to persons interested in arts and crafts, and in the future of such work in Juneau and Douglas.
 There will be no silver tea this year, but there will be group of hosts and hostesses who will be well informed on all phases of the show.
 Letters have been coming in from many sections of Alaska showing that local exhibitors will be joined by many others who have turned their talents to hobbies of commer- cial use.

Congress has gone home to repair its po-
litical fences and prepare for the November
election, leaving behind it a large amount of
legislation which should have been passed
If Congress had only neglected its duty by
running away from Washington at this time
things would not be so bad, but many of its
acts before adjourning were harmful to the
whole people and to our way of life and that
is something we cannot and will not forget.
If Congress had passed price control bill
that would really have controlled prices we
would not find ourselves in the fix we are in
today. We would not be trying to meet inflated
prices with the wages which were hardly
enough to get by on before the price rises came.
If Congress had not neglected to pass a bill
which would give us longrange housing pro-
gram we would not find ourselves held up for
many months while thousands of people are
looking without success for decent homes and
other thousands are being forced to pay out.
rageous prices for inflated real estate.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Congress went home without doing any
thing of any great value for the veterans. OF
what good is a government bond to service
man when he is being held up for a place on
earth to live, held up for the clothes and food
he buys, robbed by the ones who control the ma
tion for which the former soldier fought believ.
ing that he was preserving democratic nation?
Thousands of people are in need of ade-
Congress which is more concerned with holding
political jobs than in the real welfare of the
people closed up shop and went home.
The record of neglect failures and ndiffer-
ence of the present Congress is one which
should stir every thinking American to action.
1t is a record that cries out for the defeat of
those who have failed us in our hour of need
and who have ignored and defed our wishes for
the past two years.
We have way to bring these congressman
who have failed us to task 1t is an easy and
simple way-we can defeat them in November.
Now is the time when should double
and re-double our efforts to bring about the
defeat of the members of Congress who have
shown by their actions that they are not con-
cerned with the workers and plain people of
this land. We must unite now for the November
election determined to get out the vote and
eliminate for good many of the wrong doers
as possible
We here in our congressional district have
job to do. If we do it, and we can we can
give our reply to our representatives who is one
of the guilty.

He sees no good that will

or to World economy as re-
suit. If it is made, it should
not be made without security,
but in a business-like way.
The British are not strapped.

Now Where7

l have been following the in
flation which has taken place
In the last month with a lot of
interest and wonder just where
we are going.
A long time ago, back in
1912, the Auto Workers tried
their best to roll back prices
realizing that unless prices and
wages were brought into bal.
ance that initiation would take
place.
While the UAW-CIO was not
entirely successful, its action
did, to a certain extent, help
to hold the price line until re-
Gently. Now, we appear to be
on our way to unlimited infla-
tion unless some powerful
force is brought to bear upon
those who are wrecking the
balances which keep our sys-
tenn in compartive balance.
1t is my hope, and the hope
OF thousands of other workers
and consumers, that the unions
of this country will be able to
bring about the stability which
must exist If our own and
other countries are to enjoy
peace and prosperity. Unless
we establish justice In our own
country, we can look forward
to more wars and all that fu-
ture warfare will mean to the
human race.
Fraternally yours,
Don Blair,

Peace! It's Wonderful

Nobody knows how long it will last,
but for the first time in many months To-
Iedo is completely free from strikes.
Despite the large number of strikes
which have occurred elsewhere throughout
the country since the war, Toledo has had
relatively few industrial disputes. Those
which did occur have been short-lived or
involving a relatively small number of
workers.
There can be no doubt that the COM
narrative industrial peace which Toledo has
enioyed for more than year is due to
considerable extent to the effective work
of the Toledo neutrality-suspicious.
Committee which has enjoyed marked suc-
cess in shortening many disputes and by
timely action prevented work stOppages
from occurring.
But even as we congratulate ourselves
for having at last achieved complete in
dustriaI peace, the conviction is strong
upon us that such an ideal condition can
not long endure in the light of what is Oc-
curing throughout the country.
We refer to the inflatiOnary process
which has been thrown into high gear
since June 30 when price controls first
died, a process so rapid in its advance
that its very momentum will carry 1T
along past the point where 1t might have
been stopped were it not for the bind
greed of those who control our monOpolleS.
Caught between the two stones of ris-
ing prices and inadequate wages with
which to meet the inflationary spiral, the
workers are desperately searching for
some weapon with which to meet and
stay the inward price trend.
While it is apparent that the lull which
business in all sections of the country is
experiencing has tendency to slow down
the upward price spiral, II is doubtful II
this is due mainly to buyers strike or in
adequate wages, or both.
II is quite likely that considerable
volume of business has been cut off be-
cause of the resentment of consumers
against the greatly increased prices, yet,
at no time have the American people ever
been successful in staying the price setup
by this means alone.
What is more likely is that much of the
loss of business volume is due to the in
ability of the average wage Garner to meet
prices and still continue to purchase all he
needs or wants to sustain high standard
of living.
If this latter point is true, and there
is considerable evidence that ii is, we can
look forward to new wage demands, which,
il they are resisted, will lead to new strikes
and industrial strife which will not be
averted anywhere, even though machin-
cry may be set up to prevent or shorten
industrial warfare.
Labor is being driven by the compul-
sion of economic circumstances over
which il has not been able to exercise any
appreciable control. Failing to convince
Congress of the necessity of maintaining
adequate controls over prices by govern
ment, its only defense against monopoly
control is increased wage demands, and
when necessary, use of its economic
weapon to bring the prices and wages into
closer balance.
One thing now seems certain, the To-
ledo Labor, ,Management-C Citizens Com
mittee has its work cut out for il and il
appears to be facing a much buster future.
