BIG UNIONISM

We have heard much of big government and labor We shall hear more of this last before the nation reaches stable equilibrium in industrial rela- ticns It is more than coincidence rather symptom of underlying trouble that the underlying issue of the telephone strike is the very question that Congress is struggling with in it's labor committees the propriety of nationwide bargaining for entire industry.
 Under the antitrust laws, corporations are for bdden to combine fix prices and apportion markets with the intent of eliminating competition. Under the labor laws unions given every possible incentive to combine nationwide scale for the purpose of augnentng their bargaining power
 The telephone strike is in large part strike for higher wages-in an industry where wages compare rather well with American industry a whole. But back of the wage issue and other questions involving the welfare of the workers there is the question of nationwide collective bargaining.
 The employees of the entire telephone system number more than 600000 They organized in 84 unions of which some 35 have brought together in the National Federation of Telephone Workers. Their eventual goal is "one big union' which pre- sunably would have far greater bargaining power than 84 smaller unions. The present strike is incident unpleasant one-in the effort to weld the whole into a single federation.

GROVE ADVOCATES
 SUBSIDY SYSTEM
 FOR FISHER M E N

Leslie Grove, Alaska business agent for the Seafarers' Inter- national Union, recommends that the Federal government establish a subsidy system for Alaska's fish, ermen similar to that already in effect for U. s. farmers. He said: With the bottom dropping out of the current fish market and the cost of living going up, our fishermen must receive some kind of aid in order to maintain, not only their personal existence, but also, keep the fishing industry. in- tact"
 Grove recommended that such governmental aid would establish welfare, independent of general economic conditions, for Alaska $ fishermen. He pointed to bulging

FLANDERS STILL HESITATES

This meart the bill would have been licked, had Flanders sided with Buck, Capehart and Company
 T still haven't made up my m.nd," pleaded Flanders. Let me give this little more thought"
 Take all the time you need" re- piled Tobey. However, I would like to remind the Senator that it IS an unwritten law in the Senate that members may vote legislation out of committee and yet reserve the right to oppose it on the floor A measure of this importance should not be defeated in commit tee, thus depriving the larger body of the Senate from acting on it.
 If the Senator doesn't like this bill in it's present form, he has ev- cry right to offer amendments on the floor" continued Tobey.
 Finally, with the reservation that he could oppose the housing mea- sure on the floor, Flanders voted to report This made the vote to G. While Buck and Capehart looked daggers at Flanders, Tohey jubi- lantly raced out and telephoned to Democratic Senators Maybank of South Carolina, who was in Anna polls. Maybank voted yes" and the bill was liberated by a 7-6 margin.

 While this question is being fought out-at the expense of the American people Congress is mulng over the idea of a law to forbid industry wide bar gaining.

 At one stage, Democrats Hale Boggs of Louisiana and Mike Mon roney of Oklahoma jokingly asked Buffett il he was really for a rent increase" The Nebraskan in- sisted, amid laughs, that naturally he was, else he wouldn't be talking for his amendment

Alaskan Criticism Unfair to Seattle
Seattle ost-Intelligencer)

In preparation for the hearing now in progress before a Congressional committee Alaskas plea for statehood the Ketchkan Chronicle has issued special edition of 88 pages including color section containing two suggestion designs for new American flag with 49 stars
 The Ketchkan newspaper is to be congratulated it's enterprise The special edition, proclaimed the largest published in Alaska presents many telling arguments in support of the Territorys claim for ad mission to the Union.
 It to be regretted, however that the editor dis plays such resentful attitude toward the rest of the United States in general and Seattle in particular. From cursory reading of the issue might get the idea that he feels statehood will give Alaska the privilege of seeding from the Union Canada is fea- tured much more prominently than the United States.
 No one conversant with the facts will deny that Alaska has just for complaint about of the treatment it has received But The Post-Intelgencer convinced that most Alaskans do not share the belief of the Ketchkan editor that Seattes sole desire is to exploit its Northern neighbors.
 A typical complaint in the special edition is the following:
 Postal rates in Alaska set up that Seattle stores and mail order houses could ship to far-off Alaska for the rate any Alaska dealer could ship to the nearest trading post 10 miles way This long prevented development of merchandising in Alaska Ironically, this eighth regulation still stands"
 It is quite true that there is inexcusabe dis elimination against Alaska in parcel post rates But these rates were set up when parcel post was first established, than third of century ago, and this action taken in Washington, D. C.. not in Seattle. Indeed, it is a matter of record that many protests have been sent from Seattle against this in equitable situation.
 Also the Ketchikan editor failed to point out that the New York Chicago dealer mails goods to Alaska exactly the rate that is paid in Seattle in Alaska
 Seattle residents who have the best interest of ulI,n to rritated by the hostility of the Ketchkan Chronicle
 Instead they will continue to champion Alaska s and they will be among the first to extend the hand fellowship when the fight for statehood is

SENATOR TAFT RENEGES

The whisper has made the rounds of Republican cloakroomS that Senator Taft is not really for his own housing bill. Certainly as COP leader Of the Senate he has done little to whip his Republican col leagues into line.
 It was a lineup of Democrats plus the clever maneuvering of New Hampshire's Senator Tobey and the last-minute help of Vermont's Senator Ralph Flanders that final ly pried the Taft housing bill out of committee.
