Q. Why the other printing trades unions working?
A. These craft unions affiliated with different
internationas and are working under contracts
that have not expired In addition, the Taft
Hartley Law bans sympathy strikes" or second
airy boycotts." Thus the TIL Law operates to
favor the newspapers publishers by dividing the
ranks of union workers.
O. What prosressives do 10 help the striker
A. Stop reading the struck papers, the Tribune Her
ld-American, Sun, Times Daily News and Jour
nal of Commerce Tell your friends to do the same.
Get your organization to support the strikers and
their demands.
a. What is stake in this fight?
A The typographical union is fighting the battle of
all labor in this strike. The struggle against TIL
will be given great impetus with the winning of
the printers strike. Their fight is fight.

Fiqht for Continuous S,S. Service 10 Alaska
 Carried 10 Washinqton

WASHINGTON, April 3:-t9- Aid in establishing uninterrupted and continuous steamship service to Alaska was sought from John R. Steelman, Presidential admiu- istrative assistant, today by a dele gation from the Fairbanks Cham Der of Commerce.
 Accompanied by Delegate Bart lett of Alaska. the group talked with Steelman at the White House. Stanley Tatom, of the Lhamon Equipment Co.,, Fairbanks, said later that Steelman seemed inter ested in the situation and told the delegation he had already dis cussed it with the President.
 Stellman invited the delegation to return and discuss the subject further with him and urged them to stay here until the mission is accomplished.
 Tatom said that Alaskans want ed the government to guarantee the Territory constant freight ser vice that will not be interrupted by strikes.
 The group asked that the State Department arrange with Canada to make Dawson Creek, Y. T., a port of entry so that freight can be shipped there and then be trucked l500 miles to Fairbanks
 The delegation also went to the Maritime Commission offices to urge adoption of the program. Lat CT they planned to confer with members of Congress about the Alaskan transportation program
 Alaska must have constant and uninterrupted freight transporta- tion," Tatom told newsmen. We have gone as long as five months without freight service from the United States and the Territory simply can not exist under such conditions.
 Alternate service through DaW- son Creek will be of aid but pri- marily Alaska must depend on steamship service for bringing in it's needed freight.
 Other members of the party were Philip A. Johnson. President of the Fairbangs Chamber of Commerce; w. L. Lhamon, Alfred Ghezzi, Jr., Cecil Wells and Reuel Griffin
