NETCHIkkN GIVES IMPRESSIONS ON
 REFERENDUM

KETCHIKAN, Alaska In a roundup made by the Ketch- ikan Fishing News on the question what do you think of Senate Bill TT which provides for a referendum vote by the citizens of Alaska on the question of the closed Shop" the following ex- pressions were given:
 Buck Harris. owner of sporting goods store: The constitution of the United States provides for freedom of speech, press, religion and the right of expression. It says nothing of the closed shop
 T believe that a man should be free to work when. where and if he chooses, without authoriza- tion of a so-caled closed shop contract. I also feel that, under cur flag. we will always have the right of referendum on any con- roversisl subject. including the clcssd shop.
 Csten Eliasen, grocery clerk:
 T we lose the closed shop. We lose everything we have fought fer and gained by unionism. T. know the majority expression of the AZ Of [ and ! know that this attempt to pass the Senate Bill T $ Iust 8 trial run and the big

time political drivers in the State, are using Juneau as their proyinq ground If they can pass this referendum here in Alaska. they will have gained a point in that the same procedure can be used in the States. I'm for killing the til in the House.
 Louis Fiorella, truck driver; T believe in procuring my work on my own initiative, not through the medium of a closed shop union. It isn't fair to free labor and enter prise"
 Johnny Ellis, neon light sales man: I'm for the referendum If the closed shop cannot stand the light of day, it's no good in the first place. Secondly, if the people in Alaska decide they don't want it, then it is definitely prov en that the closed shop is ou,- moded.
 My personal opinion is that the closed shop is unfair to all labor. It is partial to a few, protects the lazy incompetent breed and ex- pelS the kind of laboring people we need at this time. Yes, for my money, bring on the referendum
 Thelma Smith. waitress: T be- lieve that the people should have the right to settle their problems in accordance with the liberties set down in our constitution. The closed shop is certainly a problem.
 The closed shop is in too many cases. an act of discrimination against good help and favors those who do not meet in ability, the wages they receive

 No organization, no matter wha

 vote by referendum. It will never
 be. Our lawmakers know the valut of referendum and feel in this par
 ticular incident. that the voters oi Alaska are entitled to register theil
 collective opinions. It is up to the people to prepare their future, not organizations opposed to the very foundations of our American goy- ernment.'
 Paul zaugg. Iigh School Jun for: We took up referendum, re- call and initiative in class just last week: I'm for voice of the people, not groups. And don't want any part of this closed shop they are talking about. What do you sup pose will happen to the kids of today when they graduate and want to go to work? The closed shop contract prevents them from working and from joining a un- ion in most cases. I say, let's vote on the issue. That's the American way"
 John McCombs. teamster ri Labor does not kill that till in the House, it will certainly pass in '49 in the election. There is too much big money behind it to fight for outlawing the closed shop by big interest which Labor can't buck.
 On the other hand, I am not for the closed shop anyway. The closed shop will in no way help to stabilize the economy What We need is production. not laws to keep the best in labor from
