PROBABLE
 CAUSE OF
 DISASTER
Snow dipped Iamgds Mountain Higher than
 Shown by Charts
By WILLIAM l.. BAKER Editor. The Ketchikan Chronicle

KETCHIKAN, Alaska. Nov. l.- R-Aviation charts showing snow tipped Tamgas mountain on An nette Island to be 3,6l0 feet high may have been a factor in the crash of pilot Ali Monsen and IT others in a Pan American DC-4 Sunday within six miles of Annette airfield
 Flying with Chris Weitzel, Coast Guard pilot who first saw wreck age of the big airliner on the north slopes of the highest peak on the island. 1 could see how the pilot crashed into the peak which appar- ently is 4,000 or 4,1O0 feet high. The planes altimeter showed 3,400 feet when we were on level with the wleckage, and the peak loomed several hundred feet above US.
 Other pilots said several peaks in Southeast Alaska are improperly marked on charts.
 Plane Hts Peak
 The plane hit the peak on 45- degree slope, barely missing a sheer perpendicular wall of rock. The tail assembly was partly burned out leaving a metal skeleton. Ahead Of it are the crumpled wings.
 Above and to the left 150 feet lies what looks like a portion of a wing Smaller parts of wreckage are strewn up and down the noun tainside
 Paratroopers At Scene
 Until the Army's mountain para trooper party and Civil Aeronautics Board personnel reach the scene, nothing is to be touched. Amateur climbers probably will be unable to reach the scene because of the pre- cipitous, snow-covered slopes well above the timberline.
 Several pilots told the Chronicle that the Annette Island beam was Sunday afternoon, when the airliner crashed, and that it brought other planes in to the east of the airiield.
 This was confirmed by several sources, but neither Coast Guard nor Civil Aeronautics Administra- tion officials would make a state ment about it.

Unions Protest
Official FIRING

BOSTON Feb. 26 (LPA)-
Over the combined protests of
Massachusetts State AFL and
CIO officers, Gov. Robert F.
Bradford this week dismissed
from office Commissioner of
Labor and Industries James 7.
Moriarty.
Moriarty had served in that
capacity for IL successive years
under both Democratic and Re
publican Governors and had
won him support of both
branches of the labor movement
and of many industrialists.
State labor leaders protested
that the Governor was submit
ting to pressure from reactionary
elements in his Executive Coun-
ell and from Attorney General
Barnes, author of recently en-
acted anti-labor legislation re-
quiring filing of financial state
ments in great detail by unions.
Moriarty had actively opposed
Barnes measure and had per-
mitted his picture to appear on
street car placards denouncing
the bill.

Although no basic decisions
on a great many of the con-
versial issues were made, the
Conference was characterized by
the prominent and effective part
played by such labor leaders as
Boris Shishkin and Nelson
Cruikshank of the AFL, and
Kermit Eby and Victor Reuther
of the CIO, as well as the frank
discussion of the economic prob.

nations.
Among the few decisive ac-
tions agreed upon by a major
ity of the delegates was the as
sumption that Christians will
concern themselves with basic
economic factors such as work,
production, wages, profits and
prices.

Rep. Klein Hits
At Own Group

WASHIN TON, Feb. IT
.uPA)-The House Labor Com
mittee, already hard at work
drafting union-crippled legisla-
ton, was denounced last week
by one of its members as
biased" and "anti-labor."
Representative Arthur G..
Klein COD, N. " who admits
frankly that he is "pro-labor"
and a former union official, is
one of only five liberals on the
committee of rs.
Charging that the reactionary
COP majority has used the
committee as a sounding board
against labor" Klein expressed
disgust at the way the hearings
we're conducted.
He was particularly bitter at
the committee use of anti-labor
Congressman as witnesses to
bolster its own prejudiceS. He
specifically cited Representative
Frederick c. Smoth (R., Ohio)
who went farther in his testi-
mony than any union-hating
industrialist by demanding out
right repeal of both the Wagner
and Norris-LaGuardia Acts.
Those guys aren't going TO help
us write sensible legislation" de-
clared Klein.
The New York predicated that
the committees legislation will
be vicious, that nothing in ii
will be good" The omnibus bill,
d e m n d d by Representative
Fred Hartley ((R., N. j. will
probably incorporate the worst
features of every proposal made
to date, said Klein.
Among other things he said
the bill will. probably include.
a ban on the closed shop, check
off. industry-wide bargaining,
jurisdictional strikes and second
ary baycotts. In addition it may
call for the abolition or crippling
of the Wagner Act and conpul-
sorry arbitration.
Klein said he expected the
committees bill will be so vim
dictive that the groups five
liberal members will be forced
to write a dissenting minority
report. THE bill as it finally
comes out will be worse than
the Senate writes" he
warned. 1T will be an extreme
measure but even so ii can pass
the House and probably even
pass over a presidential Veto"
Disclosing that the committee
has not held single executive
session since the hearings started,
Klein declared, THE republican
Party may be cooling off a bit
In its desire not to ALLEVIATE labor
too far because of the 1948 cleo
tions, but you'd never know 1t

Last week, a one-day strike of

when the Board of Education ap-
proved budget giving teachers
a $500 bonus for this school

beginning in September l947.
This is still subject to approval

suggestion of Councilman Tom
Burke, he incorporated in his
motion a clause to refer the stu
alton to the National Mayor s
Conference with the view of
setting up a federal inquiry into
the gas shortage.
The motion was unanimously
passed.
Following the decision on the
gas situation, Council agreed to
pass an ordinance authorizing
purchase of a calorimeter for

gas supply. The only calorime-
ter available for use is that

Council TO Act
On Gas Situation

Schoonmaker in discussing the
situation said that the gas short
ages during cold weather might
continue for one or even two
years. There is plenty of gas
available, it is a question of the
expense of transmitting it that
is involved" he said.
Councilman Arthur Jurrus in
quired why the Ohio Fuel Gas
Co. had discontinued artificial
gas and converted to natural
gas if there was not sufficient
supply. THE gas company told
us there was a sufficient sup
ply" he said,
Tells OF Contracts
Turning to industrial users of
gas, Mr.. Schoonmaker explained
that the companies using gas in
Toledo were given preferential
rates, but that they were forced
by the terms of their contracts
to shut down when the company
requested them to do so when
ever a shortage occurred.
Councilman Earl o. Lehman
said, "the gas company has not
kept its commitment. We are at
the mercy Of the gas company"
He then read a letter from a citi-
zen who stated that on the same
radio broadcast in which the gas
company advertised gas appli.
ances for sale, 1t called upon all
gas users to conserve their sup.
ply and use no more than was
absolutely necessary.
/ City Manager Schoonmaker
expressed the opinion that the
problem would need to be
tackled on a statewide and 20
tional basis and said that he
doubted if the City Council act
ing alone could accomplish any
thing.
Mr.. Pecord replied I'VE do not
expect this Council to be the
direct means of bringing about
improvement in our gas supply
but we do believe that there is
intelligence and initiatiV G
enough in this body to start the
move to bring it to a head on a
state and national scale"
Ludwig Is Out
Councilman Michael V. Di-
Sale said that "the question OF
bringing Ludwig (Ohio Fuel Gas
Co. Manager) in is out of the
question. He has no discretion
in the matter and can't give you
the answer.
Councilman Tom Burke asked
If it would be possible to pena-
lize the gas company and re-
cover for gas consumers when
the company failed to live up to
its obligation to supply adequate
gas.
Disable Moves Action
Final action was taken in the
matter when Councilman Di-
Sale proposed a motion to petit
ton the Governor to set up a
commission composed of labor
and management representa-
Itives TO study the gas situation

ferred TO the National Mayor S
Conference seeking their coop
Grafton in bringing federal ac-
ton on the gas situation as 1T
has existed this winter in To-
Iedo. Cleveland, Detroit and 9TH
er cities.
CIO Raises Question
Action by City Council was
taken after Ollie Pecord repre-
senting the Toledo Industrial
Union Council discussed the gas
shortage as it has existed here
this winter and asked Council
to take immediate action to in
vestigate the shortage and seek
TO secure an adequate supply.
In his talk before Council,
Pecord said that the TUG was
interested in bringing new in
dustries to this city to provide
more jobs for workers. He
pointed out that work stoppages
which had perhaps kept some
new industries from locating
here had been largely eliminat-
ed through the efforts of the To-
ledo L-M-C and that industrially
the city was ready to make
progress.
Saying that the gas shortages
of several weeks ago had been
instrumental in causing the loss
of thousands of hours production
for employers and thousands of
dollars in lost wages for the
workers, Pecord said, IF we
had a work stoppage OF 5000
workers in Toledo for any other
reason than the gas shortage, we
would make the headlines Of the
nation, but because it was not
due TO labor trouble the loss OF
work is not regarded as being
important"
Interested In Jobs
Pecord said, 1--WE of the CIC
are interested in Jobs and stable
employment in Toledo. We dc
not want a situation TO continue
where thousands of our people
are forced to undergo hardships
because Of loss of wages every
time there is a cold spell. Many
of our plants were off the other
day when the temperature was
between 25 and 80 degrees"
In concluding, Pecord said
'it Is the wish of CIO that City
Council take some action TO in.
vestigate this situation which
continues to grow worse year
after year and that efforts be
made to supply this city with
an adequate supply of gas.
ncilman Addison @
Thacher inquired of Pecord il
Detroit, Cleveland and other
cities had been affected by thu
gas shortages. The CIO repre-
sentative said that he had nc
figures, but understood that De,
troit had been affected severa
weeks ago, but that the plant:
there had not been off as long
as they were In Toledo.
