COUNCIL PUTS BAN
 ON MORE LIQUOR
 PLACES IN JUNEAU

Juneau City Council last night moved to prohibit for at least the present year the opening of any new liquor establishments in addi- ticn to the existing IA cocktail bars and 12 liquor dealers.
 The motion, which was passed unanimously, also states that no person now owning all or any part of the interest in a bar, retail or wholesale liquor business, may &C., quire by purchase any other liquor establishment in Juneau, whether as sole owner, partner or stock holder in a corporation or other body.
 In qualifying amendment add ed after the motion had passed, the Council specifically reserved to itself the right to examine and pass on all applications for trans fer of liquor licenses in Juneau.
 Before taking this action, the Council had refused to grant dis pensary license to MT. and Mrs. A. T. Nygard. The application was brought back from committee by George Jorgenson with no recommendation, since the members had split in their opin- ions.
 Jorgenson's motion was that the license application be approved,

 ENTERTAIN HERE
 ONM0NDhY NIGHT

Dorothy Crawford, who is known
 throughout the United States and Europe as the "one-woman thea tre." will appear in distinguish ed program of original character sketches at the goth Century Theatre next Monday, May 19, at S:30 p. m.
 Ranked with Ruth Draper and Cornelia Otis Skinner as the great est monologist' of our time, Miss Crawford's brilliant artistry has won wide repute within a relative brief period of time.
 Perhaps the outstanding quail ity of Miss Crawford's work is her masterly combination of in- tellect and emotion, of humor and pathos, of laughter and tears, which she brings to, every charac- ,erization, be it of the most light lv drawn comedy or the most pro- found tragedy.
 While abroad several years ago, Miss Crawford devoted her time to the learning of various Eu- ropean languages and interesting native songs. At the same time, she tucked away in her memory cdd and colorful characters who were later to emerge in her re- pertoire.
 Juneau residents and newcom- CTS who were not here at the time of the membership drive may se- cure guest memberships for this performance at the desk of the Baranof Hotel.
 Immediately following the per- formance, an informal no-host sup per in Miss Crawford's honor will be given at the Baranof Hotel. All concert members are invited to at tend. Please make your reserva- tions at the desk of the Baranof Hotel.

LARGEST SCHOOL BUDGET IS GIVEN
 10 CITY COUNCIL
Vote of Thanks and Confi- denCe Given 10 Reiir-
 ing Supf. Phillips

The largest City School Budget in the history of Juneau was pre- sented to the City Council at Its regular business session last eve ming by Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips
 Total amount of the budget sub- mitted for approval i5 S20o564.6o, of which the City's share will be o.953.35, and the Territory's DOT
 ton sl29,6ll25.
 Teachers salaries, which are given substantial increases all along the line. and including in creased janitors salaries, accounts for sl49,o90 of the total.
 An item of s6,0O0 was included in the proposed budget by Phillips, with the approval of the School Board. for construction of new fire escapes on the Grade School building He explained that at the time the building was con- structed. the fire escapes met all National Safety requirements.
 Since that time, as an added precaution, the ramp or walkway to Sixth Street was constructed. The original fire escape, which were never used. fell into disIe- pair, and were finally condemned last year and taken down.
 Al present. said Phillips, the building can be emptied in 50 seconds after the fire alarm is founded. However, with new fire escapes constructed as has already been tentatively planned by the City Engineer, ]. may be possible 10 cut the time down 10 20 or 30 seconds.
 Approval of the budget was held over by the Council for study un- til the next regular meeting, with the understanding that if it were necessary to have the approval before June 6, a special meeting would be called.
 The Council passed unanimously a vote of thanks and confidence to A. B. Phillips, resigning after l4 years as Superintendent of Schools. In making the motion, Councilman Burr Johnson added that Juneau High School is reco2- nized for it's high standards over all of Alaska, and also in the States.

and the Council voted three to three. In favor of granting the license were Councilmen Nielsen, Larsen and Jorgenson; and oppos- ing were Johnson, Thibodeau and Sully. Mayor Waino Hendrick- sons mo" broke the tie.
 The Municipal salary ordinance for 1947 and AS was given second and final readings at the meet ing. and after one change in the second reading, became effective.
 Considerable discussion was had concerning the City-owned Ever geen Cemetery, and the caretaker's salary The salary was raised from S185 to S200.
 It was brough up that the S5 flat rate charge which has been made for many years for graves in the cemetery is no tsufficient. A mo- tion was made and unanimously approved that there be a $l0 charge per grave as an opening fee, and s15 for the land.
 Preliminary discussion was also held concerning possible requisi- ton by the City of a portion of the Russian Orthodox Mission Grant property. The land could be useful to the City in a few years for construction of new Grade School if there is established second School District for Ju- neau.
 The plot under consideration is at the foot of and across Glacier Highway from Evergreen Cemetery, between the Juneau Diaries Build ing and the Smith Dairy Barn.

Form Committee
To Aid Unions On
Toff-HorfIeyA Act

New York City (ILNS). = A
committee of labor lawyers which
will be available to advise small
unions regarding the operation and
pitfalls of the Taft Hartley Act
and act as a clearing house for un-
ion problems arising from the law,
was formed at a meeting called by
the Workers Defense League,
The initiating committee in
cludes all Is of the AF'L, CIO, and
independent lawyers who attended.
A 4-man steering committee, in
cluding David Ashe, Vinson Aron-
son, Ernest Fleishman and Carl
Rachlin will direct the work of the
full committee and will draw up
written material for distribution
to the small unions.
Decision to form the committee
was reached after talks by of the
lawyers followed by discussion on
various phases of problems the un-
ions will face.
Declaring that small unions will
be harder hit by the law than big
unions, George Rifkin, speaking on
organizational problems of small
unions, suggested that the strong
internationals supply the small un-
ions with reinforcements Of organ
izers, and that the small unions
form joint councils to strengthen
their position.
Reason for the first step is that
under the law an employer can tie
up small unions organizing staff
by starting endless litigation be-
fore the NLRB-a simple matter
for the employer under the Taft
Hartley act. Reason for the second
step is that in many instances the
anti-secondary boycott provision
bars support by sympathy strike
of a strong union such as the
teamsters.
Another provision hitting hard
at small unions is that requiring
a majority vote as a prerequisite to
a union shop. Rifkin pointed out
that it is much easier for the small
than for the big one to
hire enough anti-union workers for
swinging the vote.

solute sincerity and his utterly
selfless devotion to the cause of
organized labor. He was held in
the highest esteem even by those
who sometimes disagreed with him
because they knew that he said
only what he believed to be the
truth. He knew his complex field
thoroughly.
Bob Watt, one of twelve chill
dren, was born in Scotland on July
16, 1894. While still child he was
compelled to go to work, his father
having died. The boy became an
apprentice in the painting and
! paperhanging trade, completing
/ his apprenticeship when he was 16.
In 1912 he migrated to the I'm
tied States and promptly went to
work in paper mill at Lawrence,
Mass. He earned Is cents an hour.
The following year he joined the
Painters and Paperhangers Union
in Lawrence.
After serving in World War | as
an infantryman in the Canadian
Army, Mr.. Watt became an Amer
lean citizen in 1919 and was elect
ed president of his local union. Six
years later he became president of
the Lawrence Central Labor Union.
From 1929 to 1887 he was secre-
tary-treasurer of the Massachus-
etts State Federation of Labor. In
that position he fought for pro-
gressive labor and social legisla-
tion in the Bay State and repre-
sented labor on the Massachusetts
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission and other agencies.
In 1886 he was nominated by the
American Federation of Labor as
the American workers delegate to
the international Labor Organiza-
ton. He showed remarkable apti-
tude for international labor affairs
and won permanent appointment
as the AT. of LIS international
representative.
The sudden death Of Mr.. Watt
comes as heavy loss to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor In a tri-
butte issued when news of his pass
ing reached Washington, President
William Green of the AT. of L.,
praised Mr.. Watts great service
to the cause of labor and said:
"The American Federation of
Labor has sustained an immeasur-
able loss.

BROTHERHOODSFORCE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO
RUN UP WHITE FLAG

San Francisco (LPA) - That
there's a limit to the patience of
railroad workers was demonstrated
last week with "a bang on one of
the nations biggest and toughest
railroads, the Southern Pacific.
The SIP was forced to run up the
white flag and grant Is changes in
onerous working rules after the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engine
ers staged a seven-hour strike,
shutting down the 8000-mile road
tight as drum all over the west.
The SIP describes itself as the
Friendly Railroad" but for years
it has been far from friendly in its
dealings with the Railroad Broth
erhoods."
More unsettled grievances piled
up on this road than any other.
More of such grievances reached
the Natl Railroad Adjustment
Board than from any other rail
road. Some of the grievances dated
back for years.
In this situation, all of the COP
Grating" Brotherhoods were forced
to take strike votes-and in some
instances, fix strike dates. Actual
walkouts were deferred while the
Natl Mediation Board tried to con-
ciliate the controversies.
Only one of the unions got set
tlement without a strike-the Bro
therhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen-on the SP's So
called atlantic Lines" which span
Texas and Louisiana.
The Locomotive Engineers first
fixed strike date for June 6, then
put it off while the Mediation
Board wrestled with the problem.
When the carrier still remained
hard-boiled, the $500 Brotherhood
members as a last resort walked
off at 6 p. m. on July Fl.
That brought matters to head.
Intensive conferences followed,
lasting through half the night, and
finally the parties signed a tenta-
tive agreement, which ended the
Close of the strike was followed
