PHILIPPINES:
Welcome americans

By an overwhelming vote, the
Philippines approved a constitu-
tional amendment granting Ameri-
can citizens the same economic
rights as natives. The measure car
ried in rural provinces and big
cities alike, with heavy swing in
Manila resulting from an attempt
on the life of Pres. Manuel Roxas,
champion of the provision.
Recognizing the U. S. as the
strongest economic force in the
world, Roxas and his adherents as
serted that adoption of the plan af-
forded the only real opportunity for
postwar reconstruction in the war;
torn islands. Opponents charged
that the measure surrendered Phil
ippine sovereignty over economic
matters.
Under the amendment, the peso
will be tied to the dollar to stabilize
exchange rates. Trade between the
two countries will remain duty free
for eight years, with gradually in
creasing tariffs for the next 20
years. Americans will be guaran-
teed equal rights in development Of
natural resources, management
and control of public utilities, and
ownership of land.

LABOR:
End Long Strike

Beaten in their attempts to OBJ
tain union security" Local 100 Of
the CIO-United Automobile Workers
ended its 141a -months-old strike at
the j. I. Case tractor and harvest
ing equipment plants in Racine,
Wis. Previously, union members
had returned to work in Cases
Rock Island, ILL.,, Burlington, Ia,
and Rockford, ILL.,, factories after
prolonged walkouts.
Asst. Sec. of Labor John w. Glib
son was successful in bringing the
company and the Racine local to-
gether. Abandoning efforts to obtain
a union shop, maintenance of MEM
bership and a compulsory dues
checkoff, the local settled for an
average Is cents an hour wage
raise, new grievance machinery
and improved vacation provisions.
Settlement of the strike posed a
labor problem for Racine since
many of the $500 strikers had taken
other jobs during the course of the
walkout. Their action eased the
strain on the union treasury al
though other workers received
strike benefits. The plants were
completely shut down during the
dispute, with the union maintaining
effective picket lines.

NURSES:
More Needed

Enrolment of approximately 49,
600 new students in the nations
schools of nursing will be the objec-
tive of nationwide program to be
conducted by American Hospital
association throughout 1947, John
H. Hayes, association president, an
nounced.
Low student enrolment, now 49,
600 under school capacities, means
the present acute shortage Of grad
uate nurses will become worse with
in the next few years.
Discussing causes of the nurse
shortage, Hayes said the shorter
work week and day for nurses have
cut the amount of work done by the
individual nurse. Statistically, it
can be demonstrated that AZ nurses
now are needed to do the work for
merly done by two nurses.
While the number of nurses in
hospitals has decreased and the
amount of work done by individual
nurses has been cut, the number Of
patients in hospitals has increased
from 10,089, 548 in 1910 to 1927, 4O2
in 1945 and still Is growing. Total
hospital beds have increased from
1926, 245 in 1910 to 1873, 944 in 1945
and many more beds have been
added in the past year.

SUPREME COURT:
Recognize F0ren1en

Having already ruled in favor OF
portal-to-portal pay, the Supreme
court handed down another favor
able decision to labor by decreeing
that unionization of foremen came
within the meaning of the National
Labor. Relations act.
The foreman question was bitter
ly fought by industry, which con-
tended that supervisory workers are
part Of management in that they
see that production is carried out and
implement company policies in en-
ployment practices. With many
congressman sharing this traditional
concept of foremen, it was expected
that legislation would be introduced
to preserve the status of supervi-
sorry help.
In decreeing that foremen had the
right to organize and bargain col
lectively, the court in a to de-
cision ruled that insofar as foremen
were subject to an employer they
had the right to form unions to pro-
tect their own interests in the mat
ter Of wages, hours, seniority rights
and working conditions.

ly 134.7 cents per hour, a record.
compared with an average of 124. 8

Why Pick On Schools?

(Ketchikan Daily Fishing News)
 THE ALASKA NATIVE SERVICE, branch of the Bureau of Indian Affairs which is in branch of the Department of Interior, says that it will have close 20 government schools and two government hos pitas as a result of the cuts in appropriations
 This to us to be much the type of propa- ganda that the Bureau of Customs employed recently in trying to get it's appropriation cuts restored That bureau sent discharge notices to 80 per cent of agents when ten per cut made in it's appropriations The result more than 5000 telegrams to Congress protesting the cut.
 The Alaska Native Service submitted an estimated budget of 900 for the fiscal year 1948 The House committee recommended of $81 OOO leaving this bureau $3, ,250000.
 This represented cut of about 20 per cent in the original estimate. AS result, according to Fred R. Geesn of the AN 20 schools will have to close to $17O,OOO, and the two hospitals will have to close to save $207 000.
 This would throw an estimated 1000 Indian children into the Territorial school system already overbur- dened, would leave them without schooling. Geesin said that 35 teaching positions would be abolished by the closing of these schools
 But what is the Alaska Native Service going to do with the S3250,000 that the committee recommended 1t receive?
 The ANS has, of course good many rather expen- sive branches. There is the Native Resources Dvison and the Arts and Crafts Dvison and lot of others It looks after the reindeer herds but testimony during the recent session of Legislature disclosed that the rein deer herds have dwindled from 8O0,000 animals when the government took to top estimate of 65OOO animals at present under the ANS Some estm- ated that there are now only 35OOO.
 But aren't the schools and the hospitals a good deal important than much of the costly nonsense the ANS engages in? Closing them, Geeslin says, would $377 900, but than three million dollars would remain to be tossed around and used up by top heavy administrative staff in Juneau and elsewhere

COMPETE AND LIVE

Selling Service

Labor wants no such regime, whether you call it fascist, com munist, or by some other fancy name that may yet appear. Under any other system you can think of, as compared with free Amer ica, labor would be the loser. In Nazi Germany, Hitler found it necessary to protect his totalitar- ian state by abolishing labor unions. In Russia, Stalin simply runs them. There's every reason why we must avoid monopolies of either labor or industry, and in- stead must foster competition in every way.
 Even within labor unions there is need for competition. Leaders should be elected regularly, in democratic way. Fair competition among our labor leaders always adds to the service they render, Honest, emphasis on the value of good service represents the most important item of bargaining. Our leaders in every field must learn to build by good promotion and by the ideal of selling service, a commodity which the American public is anxious to buy.
The Nome nugget., 1947-05-07

competition make real men. Tn turn these free men have made America. Every worker, no mat ter whether he makes use of strong hand or agile mind, puts his faith in the trading of the val uable commodities he possesses to his employer. Competition is good policy for craftsmen, athletes, scholars, fishermen, shopkeepers, and American business in general. The American people have req soned wisely that competition in industry must be maintained so that the whole nation may benefit.
 Enforced Agreements
 Does competition on the level of labor have any value for the welfare of the nation? It is obvi- ouS that our industry, of which abor is a part, exists for the sake
 those who consume goods. Pol cieS that add unreaSonably to the costs of goods, or any other non- competitive practices, endar Scr he free economy that made us great.
 Closed-shop agreements, usual ly signed by management under ,uress, present this kind of dan ger. The non-competitive monopo- i;stic nature of such enforced closed-shop agreements is appar- ent. Labor groups themselves need the stimulus of fair conpG- tition, for the sake of improved service. Unions need not find their only competition with employers. Rather, management and labor nave need of cooperation, for they complement each other.
 Too Dangerous
 MT. Gunnar Anderson, execu- tive ice-president of the Fedora tionS of Swedish Labor Unions, told me that 80 per cent of SWed- ish labor belong to unions. Yet, he informed me, the federation of la DOT unions is unalterably opposed to the closed shop. They feel that the closed shop is antagonistic to the very principle of freedom which labor unions enjoy and which they must help defend in their own interest.
 A universal closed shop in America would amount to one tre- mendous monopoly of non-com- petitive labor, with the premium placed on mediocrity. This would also make labor more powerful than any plain American would wish. Any segment as powerful as that either would be actual head of a totalitarian government or would be so powerful that only a totalitarian state could deal with such a power A national closed shop is too dangerous for America, and would mean the end of free Io ,,r;Drc

we have studied the ways and
customs of the Norwegians,
the Russians, the South Ameri-
cans, the Chinese, and various
other races. We have learned
that the Chinese newspaper
staffs have a confused method
of publishing their papers; the
Norwegians have a quaint GUS
tom of counting their women,
but all these methods are as eff
fective as our own.
In our present day civiliza-
ton people have the impress
sion that their way of doing
things is the only way which
is at all permissible. But by
trying to see whether or not
the other persons way will
work, an attitude of coopera-
ton and friendliness can be
developed, rather than feel
ing of resentment.
However, tolerance does not
mean merely to endure some
thing; it means to be willing
to see the point of view of
other people and to consider
adopting the ways of others if
they are superior to those to
