During the recent longshore strike against the Alaska Steamship Company The Empire carried a S455 red herring" which served to confuse a great many readers
 A union spokesman made the statement that it was shame" the company would "te up the ship and see Juneau merchants lose thousands of dollars when the actual money involved in the dispute is only S455.'
 This implied that the only thing involved was the matter of payment of $4.55
 Of course it would have been just fair to say that it was a shame that the union would cost the merchants of Juneau thousands of dollars when such small amount was involved.
 Actually, of course, the dispute-which is not yet settled-would involve any long period an addi- tional cost of thousands of dollars to the company And by the reasoning it would mean more money for the longshoremen a long period
 What is in dispute is whether a longshoreman who has worked all of his straight time hours for company should receive penalty pay when he goes to work in the next hour for entirely different com pany If the union would take in enough members

BYRNES' BIG OBSTACLE

But friendship between the Rus sian and American people, while anxious to sprout, has no soil in which to grow The leaders in Moscow will not permit it. Brief ly, that is the big obstacle Sec retary Byrnes must overcome be- fore he can bring home anything which even remotely bears re- semblance to a treaty of peace.
 Until we re-emphasize the lofty goals for which we fought this war, any peace treaty signed at Paris will be mere mockery. It would be far better to sign nothing than to come away from the Conference with a piece of paper supposed to fulfill the great hopes for which men fought but which actually mean so little.

there would be no reason for any longshoreman working overtime. The company also contends that it is the practice elsewhere for the time for long shoremen to start afresh when they move from one dock to another and start work for another employer
 It seems unfair that the second employer should be penaized and have to pay twice as much for his work simply because he happens to be second and not first
 In this two men were unloading or loadlng small government boat and had worked at this up until their customary meal hour The boss called them directly on to work Alaska Line boat without informing the agent that the men would have to receive penalty time

lomats yapping at their heels that they are weary and confused They have partly lost their bearings. The great goal of a peace based on the Four Freedoms seems very dim, very blurred, and very far away
 The United States also has lost much of the respect and admir- ation of the smaller powers. The nations which have nothing to gain from war except seeing their fields laid waste and their cities bombed once looked to us as their great champion.
 The small nations knew we had no ulterior motives. They knew we had only one great objective, permanent peace, but they have seen us get begged down, outwitted and sidetracked time after time. The fox Molotov, whom they know has only his own ax to grind, has taken us off the trail, confused us, and led us around in circles.

STAFF SGT. MARSH K TRANSFERRED FROM JUNEAU TO NOME

Staff Sgt. Jerry Marsh, a we'll known serviceman with the Alaska Communication system since Octoter. l945, has received orders transferring him to the ACS sta- tion at Nome and he will leave Ju- Ineau for that city within the next ten days.
 Sgt. Marsh came here from EX- cursion Inlet in July of last year as cashing cashier in the absence of Sgt. Stan Singer. Upon Sing CTS return this winter Sgt. Marsh was made assistant cashier and has served in that capacity for the last six months. At the Nome station he will be Chief Cashier.
 Joining the Alaska Communica- tion System in September of 1922 Jerry" studied at the ACS school for six months before leaving for Alaska. Stationed at Adak from February, 1943, until May of that year, he next saw service in Sitka "a city that is still running Ju- neau fast race in Jerry's affec tions. After three months in Sitka he was transferred to Excursion Inlet, where he spent another three months period.
 Since coming to Juneau, Jerry has been promoted to Staff Ser geant and has become thoroughly "Juneauized" A member of a num- Der of local organizations. ke has interested himself in the affairs of this city and proved more a local citizen than serviceman stationed here.
 Although still high in his praise of Sitka in general and Sitkans in particular, Jerry thinks Juneau is a hard city to beat for fun, hos pitality and general residential well being.
 Whether he will continue college in the States after his discharge in October, or whether he will re- turn to Juneau "in earnest" he does not know.
 In the event he makes Juneau bis permanent home it is expected that he will continue, for all Sitkans stopping over between plane and boat trips, his free courtesy guide of this city's charms.

Unionism and Military Security
Cincinnati Enquirer

In peace as well a in war, the armed forces customary employ great many thousands of civil
 ans ranging from highly trained techncians through various sks to common laborers. For all practical purposes navy yards, ordnance proving grounds aircraft research laboratories and similar Army and Navy establishments large industrial plants In some of them civilian workers have been organized by various labor unions.
 This is all in order. But it ought to be obvious that labor union enrolling employees of the War Navy Department is under certain restraints and obligations consequence. This is particularly true where military security requires rigorous check on individual employees their connections and their activities
 In a recent case five technical employees of an Army proving ground dismissed untrust- worthy in place where important secret weapons being tested periodically That ought to be the end the matter for in matters of military security there is no reason whatever to question the decision of competent authority charged with responsibility for security.
 Unfortunately, the CIO union concerned chose to make an of the dismissal attempting to drag in the charge of union breaking This is a par ticularly unfortunate attitude for the union take inasmuch as the CIO currently is wrestling with the problem of keeping Communists out of key places in its organization.
 The only sound guiding principle is to give the armed forces full responsibility and full authority all their own establishments For if labor unions to be allowed to sit in judgment on cases of violation of military security the Army and Navy will have only one possible course-to give up civilian employees and conduct all their activities with uniformed per sonnel.
 military organization which employs many civilians bargain collectively through labor unions But if it's absolute authority military security or it's discipline is endangered by union interference however proper that would be in ordinary industry military organization be military organi zaton. Our political society is not authoritarian, and we hope it never will be- But army, navy, must authoritarian if it is to insure the safety of a democratic state

The small remnant of a treaty we are now called upon to sign means almost nothing.

backed by the Red Army, can find an excuse to move into Trieste the day after U. S.-British troops move out. In other words, what ever treaty is signed here means nothing unless it is based on the firm foundation of good will be- tween peoples.
 The United States and Great Britain will never fight each other because the bond between their peoples is too strong. They under stand each other and they would impeach overnight any President or Prime Minister who proposed war between them.

the agreements on Trieste, Italian reparations and the Balkans which he could negotiate in year. If he should demand that American students and professors have the same right to visit Russia that Russians are granted by the U. s., that American movies, books and magazines be admitted to Russia, that American newspapermen and the ordinary John e. Citizen have a right to travel in Russia, it would do more to stabilize world peace than all the other treaties imag- inable.
 It is quite true, of course, that Byrnes would no get a free ac- cess to Russia" treaty. Russia's M Molotov would scream to high heaven, tear his hair and claim this was not on the agenda. He would even accuse Byrnes of sabo- tagging the peace.
 However, that is no reason for not putting M. Molotov on the spot. He has put plenty of others on the spot. He has taken great pleasure in hearing them scream and it might be interesting to hear him scream for a change.

KREMLIN FOSTERS DISTRUST

Furthermore, the world at large including a small but vocal pro- Communist segment of the Ameri- can people-needs to be educated to the fact that the Russians simply do not want friendship with the outside world. They thrive on distrust and suspicion. In fact, the Kremlin has a better hold on the Russian people when they are suspicious of outsiders. That is why all Moscow radio broadcaStS, why all the Russian newspapers, constantly warn of the capitalist menace and claim the United States bristles with people eager to massacre innocent Russian peas ants.
 For some strange reason no one in the United States has ever called the Russian bluff. The State Department has made polite overtures, it is true, but no high official has ever stood up publicly and told the Kremlin that it is time for a showdown as to wheth- CT Russia wants peace and under standing between the Russian and American people.
 I can think of no better place to call for such showdown than at a conference convened for the purpose of establishing peace. Fur thermore, I am certain that nine tenths of the delegates present, plus most of the people of the world, would applaud so vigorous ly such a stand on our part that even the hard-boiled, thick skinned Molotov would be impressed.

Labor LegiSIcfion

Many political observers, both those
friendly and unfriendly to organized labor
are predicting that one of the things that
the 80th Congress will undertake after il
begins its sessions in January will be
labor-regulating legislation.
Labor leaders see in the new Congress
a threat not only to the very life of the
unions, but to improved labor-management
relations which are being established in
many sections of the country.
What effect repressive legislation
would have on the future of the labor
management-citizens committees which
have been established here and elsewhere
throughout the country would, of course,
remain to be seen. But one thing is GER
tain, such legislation would not enhance
the growth of improved relations.
Industrialists who are really sincerely
interested in creating and maintaining inn
proved relations with labor would do well
to petition Congress not to destroy by ILL
considered legislation the gains which
have been made in many cities throughout
the nation and which are on the increase.
