Maritime Strike Brings High Prices, Unemployment To Alaska

SEATTL7, (P) - Many critical Alaskan defense projects are at a standStill for lack of materials, says Ralph F. WeStover of Anchor age, who flew to Seattle Friday in a new move seeking settlement of the west coast maritime strike.
 Westover, vice-preSident of the Alaska Junior Chamber of Com merce. was sent to Seattle by that organization for conferences with the waterfront employers asso- citation, Mayor William F. Devin and leaders of the striking C1O longShoremen.
 WeStover said the military in Alaska is getting it's supplies. But work of many small sub-contract- ors is being delayed. One Alaskan contractor, Shaw, Edwards and Goodman, informed Westover, the latter said, that three of its de- fenSe jobs are at standstill or r-StandStill.
 We want shipping resumed as soon as possible, with a contract between labor and management that is binding so we can have continuity of service instead of the haphaZard shipping service of the past fl years," WeStover said.
 Tn my opinion, the people of Alaska are more anxious to have a good, equitable settlement made, that will last the next four or five years, than they are in an immedi- ate, haphazard settlement which would last only few months"
 Westover said there is at present plenty of food in Alaska and star 'vation of the people cannot be charged. But the maritime strike has reduced consumer buying power in Alaska by at least 30 per cent, he continued. Small buSi- nesses, many of them founded by war veterans, are being forced to close their doors, and Alaska, for the first time in many years, has an unemployment problem.

 A combination of gas and ether was being used, he said.

total for 1889 was 16.800 tons, the
highest during pre-war years
Machine tools left the British
Isles at the rate of 16,800 tons in
1899 and $4,000 tons in 1947.
Agricultural machinery was
shipped from Great Britain at the

shipments in 1947 totaled 57,6oo
tons. Preliminary figures for 1948
indicate the same trend. :
Even more disturbing, the investi-
gators find, is the fact that the
British do not have the finished
steel production to manufacture the
huge tonnage of machinery, nor
are they importing finished steel at
a rate that would take up the slack.
The report reaches this con-
clusion:

Tito is making his historic stand

stand in their congress regardless
of whether the Communist parties
of other countries accept their in
