CARPENTERS OUT
 HERE IN DISPUTE
 OVER NEW WAGES
Quit Work ai End of Con- fraef After Failure
 to Agree

Approximately 20 AFL Juneau carpenters were not working today as the result of failure in wage negotiations between the Juneau Contractors and Employers Associa- tion and Local 2247 of the Interna- tional Brotherhood and Joiners of America.
 The contract between the employ CTS and the carpenters expired at midnight last night and the carpen- ters failed to repart for work this morning. This noon. however, car penters employed by several inde- pendent contractors returned to the job after reaching an agreement with the union.
 Considerable difference still re- mains in the offers of the two groups and no predictions were made as to when the carpenters will return to work. The contractors last offer was S206 1-2 per hour and the un- fen was asking S2.25 per hour. Pre- sent scale is $200
 Biggest hitch to the problem ap- pears to be the union request for an escalator clause in their agreement to provide for changes in the cost of living index. The union refuses  to accept any offer unless this pro- vision is made and so far, the em- rloyers refuse to consider it.
 The employers refusal is based, according to a spokesman, on the argument that this would make it impossible to give an accurate bid on future work. The union argues that it is entitled to wages in line with the cost of living index. Earl Estepp, union President, says that if the cost of living goes up, "un- ion wages should follow and natural ly, if the cost of living goes down, wages should go down"
 The union is permitting, however, emergency work at the Northern Commercial Company marine ways

Voice Of Labor
Increases Power

Chicago (ILNS).-WCFL, the
"Voice of Labor" has increased its
transmitting power from 10000
watts to $4,000 watts, thus greatly
augmenting its midwest audience,
it was announced here.
President William A. Lee of the
Chicago Federation of Labor point
ed out that this brings "the ma
tion's only labor-owned A. M. radio
station to a power equal to that OF
any station in the United States,
since $4,000 watts is the limit OF
power allocated by the Federal
Communications Commission"
The station, founded by the late
Edward N. Nockels, for many years
secretary of the central labor body
here, has served organized labor
since it's inception.
1t has been utilized by the labor
movement in it's campaign against
the Taft Hartley Act. Also, it has
covered a number of labor conven-
tions. A nightly program, Meet
the Union Printer" has been broad
cast since the beginning of the
Typographical Unions strik e
against Chicago newspapers, and
many other labor organizations
have used the station to tell their
story to the public.

RaiIWorkers Want
Courts To Decide
Right To Strike

Washington (LPA)-Do railroad
workers still have the right to
strike? That's the question the
Railroad Brotherhoods seek to have
answered in an appeal filed with
the Supreme Court.
The appeal is from drastic per
manent injunction which Justice t
Alan Goldsborough of the District
of Columbia issued several months
ago against three of the Brother
hoods-the Locomotive Engineers
Firemen & Enginemen, and Switch
men.
That permanent injunction fol
lowed an earlier preliminary order
prohibiting a scheduled strike by
the three unions. It's terms were so
sweeping, the unions said, that it
outlawed walkout by the Broth
erhoods "any time, any place, for
any reason"
Though the dispute out of which
the injunction grew has been set
tied, the three Brotherhoods want
high court review of the validity
of the injunction as a guide for the
future. They are hopeful the Sup
rene Court will rule that Colds
borough exceeded his powers,
violating both the Norris-La Guar
dia and Railway Labor Act.
"The right to strike is an i'm
portant right recognized by the
courts and Congress alike as nee
essary to enable workers to exer-
else liberty of contract in bargain
ing with their employers" the Bro
therhoods declared in the petition
submitted to the Supreme Court.
petitioners (the Brotherhoods)
are entitled to know in this case,
and for future cases, whether they
have the right to strike or whether
that fundamental right has now
disappeared"
Meanwhile, negotiations between
16 incorporating unions and the
railroads in Chicago collapsed
when the roads rejected the unions
wage demands. The dispute now
goes to the Natl Mediation Board,
while the unions will take a strike
vote. However, it will take long
time before all avenues under the
Rail Labor Act are exhausted and
a strike actually faces the 100000
workers involved.

this was done they would help eli

AFL Chief Warns People Must Put
Their Democracy To Work By Voting

Detroit (ILNS).-"To prove that
American democracy can work for
the benefit of the American people,
the American people themselves
must put their democracy to work
by voting" President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor warned here in contlnu-
ing the AFL campaign against the
Taft Hartley labor law.
"No candidate who defends the
Taft Hartley Act or favors its re-
tention on the statute books de-
serves the support or the votes of
American voters" Green told 5OO
delegates and guests of the sixth
biennial convention of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters.
"Certainly any worker" he add
ed, "who votes for such a candi-
date is voting against his own in
terests and against the interests OF
a free America"
Halls TIL Debate
Green sharply assailed Harold f..
Stassen, who appeared in Detroit
recently to answer President Tru-
mans opening address of the pre-
sidential campaign. He pointed to
the two speeches as evidence that
the Taft Hartley Act constitutes
one of the principal issues in the
national political campaign and
added:
"Organized labor is gratified
over the development of this debate
and hopes that it will be continued
throughout the campaign, for the
Taft Hartley Act is a real issue to
the millions of working men and
women of our country who are SUI
fering under its expressions. 1t
would be unfortunate if candidates
for public office or political parties
were permitted to evade this issue
and give it the silent treatment.
American workers and American
voters want to know the attitude
of all who aspire to public office on
the Taft Hartley issue and they
have the right to know before they
vote"
DeplOres Stassen Position
Continuing, Green declared:
81 am certain that the 100000
members of the American Fedora
ton of Labor studied, with great
interest, the conflicting views ex-
pressed by President Truman and
former Governor Stassen on the
Taft Hartley Act. | am equal
ly certain that they were deeply
disappointed by the position taken
by Mr.. Stassen.
"His facts were wrong, his fig-
ures were misleading and his con-
clusions were entirely off base. |
say to Mr.. Stassen that he will for
felt all claim to being considered
liberal if he persists in defending
the indefensible Taft Hartley law"
In conclusion, Green appealed
for a full vote Nov. 2, saying:
"This year more than any other,
it is of vital Importance that every
worker registers and votes. He
should also see to it that members
of his family and his friends who
can qualify to vote should do like
wise.

Two Million Fewer
Women Working Now
Than On VI Day

Washington (LPA)-There are
now almost 100000 fewer women
working than there were three
years ago, at the end of World War
IL. At the same time, the number
of men workers has increased by
more than 100000, according to
Census Bureau figures compiled by
the Women's Bureau.
There are fewer women in the
factory workers group, but in the
ranks of "proprietors, managers,
and officials" the women have al
most held their own.
