BILL DISPUTE lS APPEALED up TO
 DISTRICT COURT

On appeal from Commissioner $ Court. a dispute over bill for work on boat landed in the U. S. District Court here today.
 Plaintiff is the partnership of J. R. Clark and B. F. Feero, doing bus mess as the Juneau Plumbing and Heating Go. Defendant is Ivan Di- Boff.
 Appeal was taAen by the plaintiff from a judgment of $75 awarded to the plaintiff by jury in U. s Com missioner Felix Gray's court on De- cember 10. l945. The plaintiff se- cured an attachment and sought to recover the amount of a sta cement submitted DiBoff covering services and material supplied for the work, $11020, plus interest from Juy 26, 1945 and costs.
 The defendant replied to the ori- ginal complaint that an estimated price of $40 was an agreed top limit of $50 had been set for the work on the boat. He stood pat on the $50 maximum and sought delivery of the job at that price.

and able to work can participate. | The big companies who have piled LID big profits according to Govern ment reports can well afford to pay higher wages. If not, let them show their books to some fact-tinding committee. A reasonable increase in wages is also justified by the 1 technological advances made during the last few years, such as the in stallation of labor saving machinery and improved work processes.
 Your editorial is very much con- cerned about people who depend up- on savings and pensions for a liv- ing. Organized labor has always insisted that adequate pensions should be paid to the aged, the in valids. and to the mothers in need. It will continue to do so. This should take care of those whose sav- ings prove inadequate to assure them of a decent living when unable to work any longer
 The war has shown us what can be accomplished in the matter of production when men come first and money is only a minor consid- eration As we had prosperity dur ing the war with seven million of our best men under arms, and half of the production destined for de- struction, so we certainly should be able to build peace time prosperity far greater than that. However, a prerequisite to such are high wages, full employment and an ever-in- creasing tendency to give a full partnership to labor in industry.
 The Central Labor Council also finds it strange that the Alaska Daily Empire so consistently takes an anti-union attitude in it's editor ial utterances, considering the fact that the great majority of it's read

 Central Labor Council.
EDITORS NOTE

(Ons thing about labor unions either you're all for everything they advocate, or right away you're pop bed in the "anti-union" bracket.
 The above letter expresses the viewpoint of organized labor very clearly. but it does, we believe, over look several things.
 Much of the "big profits" sup posedly piled up during the war went out in the form of higher wages be- cause of overtime. There was also such a thing as the excess profits tax which meant that if a business made more during the war than be- fore, that which was the average was called excess profits and the government took as much as 90 per cent.
 A business can't figure that the "phoney prosperity of the war years will continue any more than the worker can.
 While the law tells the business man how much he can charge for his product, the worker tells him that he wants overtime pay for 40 hours of work or he won't work. In other words, the business man is told that he must pay more in wages for less production. Maintaining wartime "take-home" pay simply is another way of saying less work for higher wages
 The worker has the advantage now because of an unnatural condition. He strikes for and gets higher wages or else, while the government holds prices down. But what will be the situation when this curb, which cannot continue indefinitely is lifted? The worker may find that his take-home pay looks large, but when prices go up he'll find it won't buy any more than before.
 Meanwhile, as we attempted to point out in our editorial, the per- son with 8 fixed income suffers. This would include not only pension CTS who receive pensions from the government, who might through legislative action have pensions in- creased, but the vast number of aged retired who have retired on their savings accounts, insurance, or other forms of fixed income. These people no matter how much the labor unionist's heart bleeds for them,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-01-17

can't strike to have their bank ac- counts raised or their insurance pay ments increased, and we think we have a point there.)

CHARACTERIZATION
To the Editor, Alaska Daily Empire, ,Juneau. Alaska.

Alaska Dally Empire,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:-We should like to take exception to your editorial in last Fridays Empire under the heading Wages and Savings This is one of long row of similar editorials originals and reprints-which have appeared in your paper, all of them engaged in more or less covert union- batting.
 The editorial states: But across the nation today, and ever since peace came, the great organized mass of the people have had one oo- ieetive-higher wages This is not quite the case. Wages were frozen at the 1941 level while the war last cd and theRost of living increased. Payments for overtime worked took care of this increase. To take as an example our biggest local indus trial plant, the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Go. The average wage paid there during the last year was apout a2 cents an hour with time and a half for the sixth and double time for the seventh day. This gave a wartime weekly wage of $55.76. With the legal 40. hour week taking effect again, this woud be reduced to S32.80. Take taxes and other de- auctions away from this, and not enough will be left to make both ends meet. Therefore, organized labor wants a wage somewhat near the take-home pay received during the last few years in order to con- tinue the somewhat phoney war prosperity and change it into genuine peace prosperity. A pros perity in which all persons willing

 Discharge

Boston, May 2. (UP)-A writ of habeas corpus today was denied Henri-Louis Simard of Woburn, Que., who sought release from the Navy on grounds that he under stood only French and did not know he was being inducted when he took the oath in March, 1914. Naval officials said that Simard now would be held on desertio1 charges. He allegedly went A.O.WL. from Camp Perry, Va. in July, 1914, and wasn't apprehended un- til February, 1946, by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
 Speaking through an interpreter, Simard said in U. s. District Court that while working on 6 Lewiston, Me-, farm at the age of 18, he registered for the draft be- cause friends had told him 1t was required. Two years earlier, he said, he had registered with the Cana dian Army.
 He said that when he was sworn into the Navy at Portland, Me, he did not understand that he was being given an oath of induction.
 Judge Charles Y. WyZanski, Jr.. ruled that Sirnard was citizen of U. s. since his father was born at Manchester, N. H., and that h6 took no steps to disclaim his al- legiance when inducted.

Maritime Unions Consider Merger Into Federation

San Francisco, May - (UP) - Representatives of seven maritime unions today considered merging their forces into a single maritime federation which would rank among the five largest labor organizations in the nation.
 Harry Bridges, president of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, will be prin- cipal speaker at an amalgamation session. A secondary proposal should the proposed merger fail would be an agreement for mutual consultation and inter-union co-op- eration in case of strikes.
 Bridges described the merger plan as the maritime workers ans wer to the formation three years ago of the National Federation o1 American Shipping, a nationwide shipowners' organization.
 The unions, representing total oi 2l4, 900 workers, include the I.L.W.U. the American Communications As- sociation, the National Maritime Union, the National Union of Mar inc Cooks and Stewards, the Ma tional Maritime Engineers Benefi. cial Association, all C.IO., and thu Independent Pacific Coast Tiremen Oilers, Watertenders and Wipers Union.

 The committee recommended among many things that the Gen eraii Assembly adopt the bill introduced last year but rejected. The teruls of this bill provide that the commission be notified when highways are to be excAvated SO that proper precautions may be Iih- dertaken.
 me committee reported also that two other factors contributing t0 gAs leaks were mains not being placed far enough below the frost line and the fact that sufficient care was not exercised when mains were extended through filled- in land.
 It was suggested that ell gas mains be placed at . minimum depth of three feet belowe the str. face of the ground, and even at q greater distance when excAvAting in filled.in land 60 that the vibration of heavy trucking would not dam age the mains.

 The report revealed that "47 per cent of ell leaks were caused by contractors engaged in sewer construction or similar work, ex- cavating in the highways, without taking proper precautions to safe- guA1d gas mains contagious to the point of construction"
 MI. Lynch reported that 4e leaki were reported in the city during 1946. He urged, on behalf of the committee, that contractors take ell precautions when excavating.
