 up the American Legion in their efforts to secure legislation prcvid- ling universal military training for all young male citizens of the Unit ed States. fiE
 There are many aggressor na- tons who do not yet understand or respect anything but force, Mrs Pearl said, adding that as long as lsuch condition lasts there can be little chance for world peace un- Hess non-aggressor nations such as ours are fully prepared to main tain peace Universal military training of our youth, such as the American Legion has advocated since the end of World War I, would go a long way toward main taining strong nation which would command the respect of all aggressor nations, Mrs. Pearl stat eG.
 Accompanied by Ter husband, Mrs Pearl arrived here on the Steamer Princess Louise Saturday afternoon, enroute to Anchorage to attend the Department Convention which opened there .oday. A talk over KINY was gwen at 6:15 O. clock by Mrs. Pearl, shortly after her arrival on Saturday.

shoremen by the Engineers and the U. s. Department of Labor
 The Engineers feel that not only can the taxpayer be saved some money by paying $2O per hour for the work instead of s1sO but that the non -union lumber handlers rate Of slowing the lumber is almost twice as speedy as the longshoremen. who would require six days extra to load such vessel
 By lowing to the longshoremen the government contends, the extra cost to the taxpayer would be S22,500 per vessel
 In time of war of course, such strike would be settled in short order But today with the adequate defense of Alaska of such extreme import to all of the United States it seems unhnkabe that nothing has been done on this matter for two weeks to bring it any nearer settlement.
 It should also be noted that Soviet Russia, which has taken exception to the projects now underway building up the Alaskan fortress would be extremely pleased with such teup impeding the defense meas ures. You can be sure that the progress of Soviet military installations across the Boring Strait are not held up by work stoppages
 However, the CIO. to which the Juneau ongshore- men belong has long turned sympathetic ears to the outpourings of the Soviet propaganda machine
 We do not believe that the people of Juneau, or elsewhere have much sympathy for the Juneau long shoremen in this case especially in view of last years work stoppages which made things rather unpleasant for of us for 2 months in spite of the benefits which may have been gained by the few longshore- men.
 Ard some day we would like to see the U S Government which is the agent of all of the people assert right to protect the majority by skipping down few irresponsible minortes

Each of these communities would be larger than any now functioning in the terri tory. This also means that about 40,000 veterans and their families could be employed profitably in Alaskan newsprint production.

Pckets continue to tramp back and forth across the entrance the Juneau sub-port of authorization at cost of l30 day the taXpayer-a total so far of almost $15000
 Lumber stacked on the sub port dock destined for transportation to Seward and important defense in- staatons on the freleher Square Knot continues to pile up impeding the efforts to strengthen military installations in Alaska.
 The dispute arose when members of the Juneau CIO longshoremens union objected to the hiring by the United States government of lumber handlers employed through the IL s. employment service rather than from the ranks of the longshoremen. picket line was established and members of the ships crew quit work in sympathy
 The lumber handlers who have done such work in the past are paid at rate of sl20 per hour while the ongshoremen demand s18O per hour for the same work,
 Barges are still being loaded at the sub-port, as they have been in the past by the non-union lumber handlers-and how it is that these men have been permitted work by the powerful little ongshore- mems organization is beyond to determine. since even the tiny motorship Estebeth must be worked by a longshore
 However, the longshoremen contend that the Square Knot is vessel of the Alaska Steamship Company, and therefore not government vessel.
 Actually the Square Knot is owned by the U s, Maritime Commission, is chartered by the U s. Army for in delivering lumber to Army posts in Alaska. The Alaska Steamship Company has been employed to handle the payroll of the crew and the provisioning of the ship but otherwise is not connected with the operation which is governed by regular Army orders
 The Juneau longshoremen supported in their stand by Territorial Commissioner of Labor Henry Benson, who has urged action favorable to the long
