Washington (FP)-Segregation Of
minority groups and discrimination in
job-seeking looms as a major prob
lem here as federal and state labor
officials confer on regulations gov
erning return Of the Z. S. Employ
ment Ser to state control Nov. 10.
USES officials and representatives
of the states preparing code for
operation Of employment offices,
though actual on-the-spot operation
will be in the hands Of state officials.
When completed, the rules will be
presented to Labor Secretary Lewis
Schwellenbach for approval or
change.
The publicity given a recent jim
crow case in the USES office here in
yolving Commerce Department work
ers brought statement from Schwel-
Ienbach that he wanted to solve the
discrimination problem in USES. A
USES report, however, says that pro-
posed regulations have been discussed
with each state "to make sure that
they are practical and flexible enough
to meet the needs of each individual
state"
A Labor Department spokesman
told Federated Press that ''The states
have very wide latitude within these
regulations" and said that the only
power of compulsion in the Labor De-
partment's hands to enforce them Is
withholding Of funds for administra-
ton.
Even if there were no discrimina-
ton at the employment service, he
said, the employer could discriminate
by choosing or rejecting workers sent
to him.
Another problem facing the feder-
al-state conferees on the regulations
is that of defining suitable employ
ment' for a skilled worker. Regula-
tions, FP was told, will have to be

Convention Maps
PIans For Merger

Portland (FP)--Plans for merger
with the United Furniture Workers
were laid here by the international
Woodworkers in the concluding ses-
sions of their 4-day annual conven-
ton.
At the same time the delegates
from % states, Canada and Alaska
hammered out strong political pro-
gram calling for return to Roose-
velt's foreign and domestic policies.
The amalgamation with the UFW
will take place in the fall of l947
when both unions are scheduled to
hold separate session in st. Louis.
The new union will be known as the
International Wood & Furniture
Workers and will blanket. the 37,CC0
furniture and 70 600 lumber men, un-
der single leadership.
Committee reports showed large
membership gain in the past year,
with the addition of 10000 in British
Columbia alone. For the future the
union planned organizing drives in
the south and in eastern Canada, par
ticularly Quebec province, which has
a potential membership of 10000.
Former President Harold j. Prit-
chett, backing a resolution condemn
ing redbaiting, which the union over
whelmingly indorsed, pointed out that
in his district of western Canada,
where there has been the least
amount of witch hunting, there have
been the most gains"
Delegates also called for "immedi
ate negotiations with Britain and
Russia to agree on atomic energy
controls and extension of the agree
ment thereafter to the United Ma
tions"
A delegate from Juneau. Alaska,
opposed the resolution, saying he
"wanted the U. S. to hang onto the
A-bomb because Alaska is closer to
Russia" Ted Doktor of Aberdeen,
Wash, answered: "Uncle Sam can't
keep all the atom bombs in his hip
pocket and besides when we look
around for our real enemies we don't
find them across the ocean but across
the street, mean the National As
sociation of Manufacturers" The vote
overwhelmingly supported Dokter's
position.

Ask Govt Control
Of Meat Industry

Chicago (FP)-Charging that the
meat trust deliberately provoked cur
rent meat shortages and is at the
same time engaging in mass layoffs
of it's workers, President Ralph Hell
stein of the United Packinghouse
Workers urged here that the meat in
dustry be declared public utility
subject to government regulation.
Present meat shortages, Helstein
declared, result not from price con-
troll, but from meatpackers' policies
of swamping the market with meat
during the price holiday. The exces-
sive purchases of livestock during
that period exhausted the immediate
supply of livestock, and even removal
of price control at this time cannot
change the situation, he said.
At the same time, many packing
plants throughout the country are
shutting down or curtailing opera
tions. Consequently, approximately
10000 packinghouse workers have
been thrown out of work.
"The current layoffs are in the ma
ture of lockout directed on the one
hand toward undermining the
strength of the union," Helstein said,
"and on the other hand are directed
against the public and the govern
ment for the purpose of destroying
whatever semblance of price control
remains"
Helstein said he had information
that packers purchased many thou
sands of head of cattle during the de-
control period and had placed them
on feed while awaiting changes in
price laws.

HEP TO HOUSING NEED

Washington (FP)-Civilian Pro-
duction administration announced
Sept. it had denied about so per
cent more dollar value in nonresident
tial building applications than it had
approved during the week ending
Aug. %. Denials amounted to over
$40 million, with approvals valued at
almost $28 million.
Approvals since the March 26 limi-
tation order still outstrip denials,
however, $1,802 million to $1,197 mil

GLAMOR

Every woman loves beautiful
jewelry but there are certain basic
facts that she should know for her
own protection.
When buying jewelry, always place
your self in the hands of trust
worthy jeweler. The advertising that
store or firm is over fifty or one
hundred years old is not proof of its
integrity. A guarantee is only as re-
liable as the one who issues it. Al
ways read a guarantee and see that
the facts are concise and comprehen-
sive, or it may not be worth the paper
it is written on.
If an extremely liberal allowance
on an item you wish to turn in on the
purchase of a new one is made, be
careful, for the price of the new
article may have been increased for
this purpose.

HAVE YOU HEARD?

Department of Agriculture describes
the hot water treatment for poison
ivy This consists of bathing the af-
fected portion with water as hot as
the skin can stand.
In pointing out that each year some
$4,000 babies in this country are
born out of wedlock, with half of that
number born to very young mothers,
many not yet out Of their teens, the
Children's Bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor, has issued new pamphlet
entitled Maternity Homes for I'm
married Mothers = A Community
Service"
1t is intended primarily for those
women responsible for the operation
of maternity homes and for the case
work agencies with which they CO.
operate. 1t shows how maternity
homes can best meet the needs of un-
married mothers and their infants.
If you hold a job and have been
fibbing about your age, you'd better
tell the truth and fast, if you'd get
your social security at the age of 60
instead of having to wait until those
years you forgot" about roll around.
You can write and get form to
fill out correcting your sage-it's a
common failing, lots of people do it,
but in this instance, it doesn't pay
off.

including the new engine on order
 The cost per horsepower was al- so considered. The last $50 hp unit purchased from Fairbanks Morse has operated IS hours per day for over ten years at all kinds of loads, and has interrupted service but once in that time, due to mechanical trouble. The initial, or first engine installed here by lhe Town is now about 31 years old ,u 200 horsepower. The second en- zine is about IT years old, re- built eight years ago, 12O horse power Our present peak load is over 340 XIV and, I assure you Mir. l Custard if either of these three engines break down from oyer load, you will eat your Christmas dinner by candle light. This $40 XIV peak is 5:15 D. m. In a sh t time, as the days grow shorter. We will have this load, plus the saw mill, plus the Christmas lights.
 Let us go back and consider tbp metered load of 28,S73 XIV in October 1884 when the $50 ho-s,- power engine was ordered. Six years later, or November 1910, the metered load in November was 40,828 XIV, an increase of 11,955 XIV. Six years later Novembe t946, the metered toad in Novem- Der was 87,OOO XIV, an increase of 36,OOO XIV.
 Of this. 36.OOO XIV increase the saw mill and shingle mill contrib uted 4,365 XIV. This does at take into consideration what the load will be when the domestic equipment now on order is la- i stalled When the facts are known will this additional power 5e enough? One thing for sure. it is not any more than enough to in sure continuous service year from now.

 In reply to a communication by lr. Custard in the November 9, sue of The Sentinel, relative , a hy an SSO,000 addition to .he fly Light Plant should be built
 Il likewise awarding the col raets for additional power 10
 ,rbanks Morse and O.:
 First, let us consider why Fair anks Morse and Company were a-
 rded the contract for the ad- .tional power. When it became necessary in 1894 to add more power to the plant, we, already had two second hand Fairbanks Mors engines in operation, not purchas- ed from Fairbanks Morse and Com pany. We had to have a new build ing for an additional engine. Fair banks Morse agreed to finance this new building, the new engine an1 install the equipment without dir ect cost to the town.
 The above statement is only to show why a Fairbanks Morse en- zine was purchased at that time at least one reason.
 Disregarding the splendid oper- ating record record of these three e1 zines. the reason for award ng Fairbanks Morse and Company the present contract is the mainten- ance cost of the plant It would oe far less expensive to carry repair parts for one type of equipma Il than it would be to carry parts for two or more types of engines
 When a crank bearing costs d most $2O0, it is quite an item to have it fit any of the later engines

Mir Custard straight on the esti- mated $40.O0O a year fuel and oil bill I haven't time, at the present. tc figure our load percentage, but can certainly do so at a later date.
 Our average monthly fuel bill | for the past eleven months was $683.26 Our average monthly Iub- ricating bill for the past eleven months was $6495. These are facts, not estimates.
 Several other facts stated by Mr. Custard are very misleading and to the greatest extent. are not facts in the least, so far as the Light Department is concerned May we reply to some of the facts isO stated by Mir. ustard?
 The Mayor, Council and Utility Board were informed by the saw mill management that the mill was installing it's own power. This was long before ordering the last en- zine. The shingle mill. at this date, does not plan to. replace its 6O hp motor with diesel power. The Wrangell Institute is not re- ceiying current at below cost rate They pay the same commerci5I rate as in town, and for their en- tire bill.
 As to the low per capita use f metered electricity by home own CTS here. l would like to know what town in the Territory of like population this is being compared with.
 However, hydro-electric power can be generated and sold at T cheaper rate than diesel power. and Is food for thought. Likewise a standby plant will have to he maintained. believe Petersburg is spending almost as much for l diesel power as We are.
 In few years our plant will have to be enlarged again. Shall we wait until then, or start think ing about it now? At present. we have to get some additional power and get it as soon as possible.
 As to lowering the light rates l let us raise taxes so the town will be self-supporting without the aid Of the Light Department. Also back the Light Department. md We will surely lower your rates.
 wonder how many of our citi- zens know of the hours the CouD- Gil has spent burning the mid night oil at regular meetings and special meetings trying to balance the budget, even with the help f Light Department funds, or how many citizens know of the number of meetings, including the Utility Board, that have been called to consider the Light Plant addition. |. for one, welcome this letter from MT. Custard. It brings to light a number of things for all of us to consider. It will be some time be- fore this last unit ordered can be delivered and remember, the Town can cancel this order any time.
 In the future, whatever opinions presented to the public, facts and statements should be authentic. The Council meetings are not held behind locked doors.
 Sincerely, City Light Dent

Under the direction of Robert
Scott, safety director of the com.
pany, the band showed promise Of
becoming a group of wide re-
koWn until its disarmament in
what was termed 'the midst OF
the depression" when the lack oil
free money" and other factors
contributed to its downfall.
About this time, local of4fcials
recall, there was a period during
which, the organization of bands,
and ever the utilizing of existing
bands was not encouraged.
Orchestra Seen
If the band is reorganiZed, and
Davis feels certain there will be
enough interest to gather even
more than 80 or co. pieces, eve
may organize an orchestra with
in the band which would assist
in performances such as concerts,
private parties, and other events
at which the services of a larger
band would not be necessary"
Davis said.
In order that a survey may be
promptly made, all who wish to
enroll for membership are asked
to contact Davis at telephone 4193.

to the general passenger agent.
The announcement came yester.
day with the start of a survey
among ACL personnel, to deter.
mine whether there will be enough
musicians for a so or 60-piece
band. This would be an adequate
number, but we will take all the
musicians we can get, who are
definitely interested in playing in
such a band" Davis said.
Any One Eligible
Band membership will not be
confined to ACL employees, but
will contain musicians who are
interested, from all parts of the
city. Already there have been a
considerable number of persons
contacted who say they are de-
finitely interested,' Davis said.
The band, if organized would be
fashioned along the lines of the
old band. 1t contained SIS pieces,
and according to "old timers" was
a lively spectacle as it marched
in local parades as well as those
held in nearby towns.
