CONCENTRATION

Open Letter to the Public.
 We would like to clarify certain misleading statements made by the management of the Juneau Spruce Corp as appeared in the Daily AL aska Empire on April 8, g, and 10th, and were broadcast over radio sta- ton KINY.
 The management stated that the meeting of Local No M-27l of the IVA held April 1, 1948 at which time they went on record as not disputing the jurisdiction of the ILWU over loading of Juneau Spruce Corp. barges, was not ad- vertised, This statement is in error as the April lst meeting was adyer- tised in the same manner all meet ings are by a large sign on, the bull lstin board near the time clock at the Juneau Spruce Corp. plant.
 It has been stated that this is a jurisdictional dispute between the two CIO Unions. This is not true. The dispute is between the ILWU and the Juneau Spruce Corp. The IVA are merely respecting the pick ct line of the ILWU
 On April l, l948 a special meet ing was called by the local to again hear 9 committee from the ILWU and to discuss work practices in loading barges at the mill. The meeting went on record unanimous ly as being unable to permit it's members to load harges since the The membership advised the Labor Relations Committee to contact the work was not under our jurisdiction Commis sioner of Labor and then inform the management of the above action.
 On April '. l948 the Labor Rsia- tions Committee went to the Mill management in company with the ILWU Labor Relations Committees and informed MT. Hawkins of the unions decision in an effort to ar rive at a peaceful solution to the problem and to urge an agreement between the mill management and the longshoremen which would avoid a work stoppage. The com mittee stressed their interest in con- tinued and uninterrupted mill op- erations and said that they were of the opinion that something should

the things that were used to torture
the partisans and proletariat. ]

and I must say the old medieval re-
ligious relics don't seem 50 primi-
tive when you compare them to
some of the modern relics being
shown today by the Soviets. For
example, in one case q card will
say, This bullet killed an Indian
student during the day Of solidarity
for Wet Nam, January, 1947."
i In the Czechoslovak exhibit there
Is a case filled with prison jackets,
handouts and chains. In the AL
/ banian a blood-soaked jacket in a
glass cage bears card which says,
with quaint misspelling, THE jac-
quet Of our martyre, Margareta Tu-
tulane, who was barbarian mas
sacred by Fascists."
In another case is another bloody
shirt and a card saying, THE pull
over that Nation Hero Quemal wore
on the day of his killness." In yet
another case is rusty typewriter

So used during the days of resist

tricks. The other Is the baby kiss

little tot in his arms and is holding
the little tot to his breast.
Then you come to the next stage
Of propaganda, which is the deifica-
ton. I don't know whether this
shocks you as much as 1t does me
but after the baby-kissing picture
there is one final picture before yoJ
