WHY THE STRIKES?

The stopping of production in some American factor es because of strikes has been bitter disappointment to everyone who has looked forward to being able to buy again on something like normal basis. Before the wave of strikes industrial production in the United States had reconstructed faster and to far greater degree than was at first thought possible
 The majority of the strikes has been called by the so-caled militant" C.IO. unions. The underlying of the strikes have been obscured to some eX- tent by an unprecedented appeal to public opinion by both labor and management. with such catch phrases maintaining take-home pay!', liability to pay Hook at the books and many exaggerated statements regarding profits.
 Technically strikes were called in spirit of brag- adocio in order to portray the great powers of the unions and get all that possibly be obtained out of capital. Factories and processing plants still operating under strict government control ot prices and any allowances made to labor would cut drastic ally into reserves for continuing business and also tail planning for future improvements and expenslon
 great many of the companies grant wage increases without the need for strikes.
 Many of the strikes are settled in matter of days or weeks however the majority of the strikes take in
 relatively small percentage of the countrys workers
 In one particular strike, both the employer and the employees made extremely strong appeals for public support and sympathy. Serious debates and broad casts over the radio were a common thing, the comp any carried a series of advertisements presenting its side of the story In the main, the appeal was mere camoufage. On the side of labor was the loud talk about the necessity of keeping the take-hOme pay Tn order to avert serious depression and charging that the company attempting to break the unlonS and that strikes being financed out of tax funds.
 The company raised the cry of socialism, otalitarian economy and interference in the rights of management claims of labor nefficency and that wages had bees increased beyond both profits and the cost of living
 When the smoke of battle is cleared and things again cool off sufficiently to be handled there will be sub Stanal increase in wages to the tune of about the equivalent of extra days pay each week. Like wise, higher rates being allowed in where price ceilings slightly relaxed.
 Although there has been much hullabaloo' about strikes and their consequences, business is the up swing on the road to full reconverSion and employ men and there is little to think the country is going to the dogs. Not just yet.

Hatch Act

Active participation in Muni- cipal elections by federal employ ees along the line of the Alaska Railroad is closer to becoming a reality through recent action by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Delegate Bartlett's enabling legislation. Following hearings on the measure by the Senate committee, indication was made that the bill would be favorably reported to the Senate.
 Delegate Bartlett's bill would amend the Hatch Act to permit federal employees in Seward, Anchorage, Fairbanks and other communities along the line of the railroad to take active part in such matters as selection of local school boards, local om m n councils and to serve as members of the boards and councils.
 The House Committee on the Judiciary, in reporting the bill last October to the House, stated the enactment of the bill should tend to promote good government in the cities affected and would in no manner operate to break down the principles of the Hatch Act" The Hatch Act forbids federal employees to take an act i've part in national or territorial political matters.

THE STOCK MARKET

There have been such statements made in recent weeks that the present time, from the standpoint of labor problems is the lowest ebb since the period inn mediately following World War l. Wall Street how ever is optimistic apparently believing that the na- tions industrial problems rapidly nearing solu tion Stocks have skyrocketed to the highest levels in many years.
 Modern transportation has linked all countres-and today this common bond needs only the stimulus of world trade to make it even stronger

REC Loan

A loan of $400,000, to the Col umbia Lumber Company of Al ', aska has been granted by the Reconstruction Finance Corpor- ation, according to information given Delegate Bartlett.
 The company operates mills at Sitka and Whittier with head quarters at Juneau.
 Potatoes
 Disposal in Western Canada of 500 tons of surplus potatoes from the Matanuska Valley is being ' sought through a plan devised by the Agriculture D par ent working in cooperation with Del egate Bartlett.
 First reports of the surplus reached Delegate Bartlett through telegrams from Anchorage and Palmer seeking to dispose of the potatoes to aid in supplementing food supplies abroad. Aftet consultation with officials of the United Nations Relief and Re- mobilization Administration and theAgriculture Department, it was determined such disposal would be impractical because of the distance involved, freight rates and the ability of the UN- BRA to handle only dehydrated potatoes.
 Through telephone conVerSa- tions with Canadian officials in Toronto and Victoria, a plan evolved to supply the market in Western Canada with the Alaska potatoes if they were found to meet with Canadian inspection standards. A sample of 25 lbs. of the Alaska potatoes has beaI airmailed to Canada for inspect ion, and it is hoped they will be acceptable so that the entire 800 tons may be sold on the Canadian market

Goren on Bridge
Neither side Vulnerable. West
deals

Opening lead, seven of clubs.
In duplicate bridge when the scor-
ing is at match points, each deal
constitutes separate and distinct
match and it is not at all uncom-
mon for a match to be won or lost
by 10 points. One team, for eS-
ample, may score 420 points for
making game in hearts. tThere
is bonus of 300 points for making
a nonvulnerable game) while an
other team holding the same cards
may have elected to play the hand
at no-trump and made the same
number of tricks for a score of 430.
Dog fights for part scores are,
therefore, far more frequent in oc-
currence than in rubber bridge. In
today's hand. West opened with one
spade and when partner responded
with one no-trump elected to bid
two clubs because the holding of
two short suits made no-trump
contract somewhat doubtful. With
this view 1 concur, though had the
distribution been 5-3-3-2 no thought
SHOULD be given to bidding again
even with little more than West
actually had.
When the bidding stopped there,
South backed in" with a bid of
two hearts. This involved practi-
cally no risk, since the bidding
clearly indicates that North holds
some values. Otherwise, the oppo-
sition would surely not have given
up at two clubs. North did not
raise at once because he knew that
partner was not trying to go places,
but was merely contesting the part
score. East, in an aggressive frame
Of mind pushed on to three clubs
which was passed around to North,
who was torn between doubling and
going on to three hearts. He chose
the latter, though I do believe
double of three clubs would have
been sounder procedure in the long
run. He could count on two clubs
and a spade trick without consider
ing the value of the king of hearts.
The seven of clubs was opened
and taken by the queen in dummy.
A low heart to the queen held the
trick and the next heart was taken
by East's ace A club came back
and the trick was taken by dummy's
ace At this point declarer stopped
to picture the high cards outstand-
ing.
West is known to have the king
and probably the jack of clubs and,
at most, the ace of spades. Since he
held nothing in hearts, he is def
nitely marked with the ace of dia-
monds for his opening bid. Appar-
emily, therefore, two diamond tricks
must be lost, unless East holds both
| the jack and 10 of the suit. The
deuce of diamonds was, therefore,
led from dummy and when East
played the three, South played the
seven forcing the ace. Note that
it would have availed East nothing,
to put in the 10 of diamonds. since
the queen would force the ace ard
dummy would subsequently regain
the lead and finesse the seven
against East's jack
So played, declarer scored ITO
points CA bonus of so points is
awarded in tournament play for the
fulflllment of part score) A dou-
BILE of the three club bid, as the
cards lay. would have yielded only
100 points.

Take My Word for 1t
Readers Want to Know.

Los Angeles-I have come across
an eating establishment labeled
The Rotisserie." What does it
mean, and how do you say it?-
w. M. C..
Answer-Rotisserie Is French
word derived from the verb rotir,
Ito roast" A rotisserie is an eating
place specializing in roasted or
grilled meats. The French pro-
nunciation is: roe-teess- h-REE;
often: roe -tess-REE.
Anadarko-Please settle a fierce
argument. My friend insists that
"momentous" is correctly spelled
"momentuous," and is pronounced
with four syllables. Can she be
right t?-Marie.
Answer-Sorry, no. The correct
spelling is ''momentous," and the
correct prononunciation is: moe
MEN -tuss.
A California reader submits what
is certainly the classic typo-howler
of the week; Americans have been
asked to eat less bread and to cut
down the size of their loves" Well,
half love is better than none, I
always say.
