HEAVY TRAFFIC
 OVER THE ALCAN

Travellers entering Alaska over the Alaska Highway during the calendar year l947 numbered 9,246, according 10 figures com piled by the Alaska District Off ice, US Department of Com merce. Juneau, from records of the US. Customs Service. Figures are available only on nor1hbound traffic entering Alaska from Car- ada at the Customs stations at Tok Junction and HaineS. AL though these figures cover a small amount of loca. l1raffic be tween Alaska and adjacent Brit ish Columbia and Yukon Territory Canada, they are. on the whole. an accurate index of the total volume of traffic over this fam ouS built route in the lilst lull peacctlme year for which figures are available. A total of 8,240 persons in 3.290 vehicles. including busses. entered central Alaska at Tok Junction. The HaineS Highway. branch road leading from the main Alaska Highway in Yukon Territory to Haines in southeastern Alaska accounted for 1,0O6 persons in l97 vehicles. including busses, in the six month period that it was open from June to November
 The traffic entering Alaska ranged from high of 738 ve hicles with 1882 passengers in July to a low of 60 vehicles with l33 passengers in December. The monthly average over the year amounted to 315 vehicles and 77O passengers.
 This volume of traffic into AL aska by highway is significant in view of the fact that the por- tion of the Highway in Canada remained throughout the year subject to traffic restrictions by the Canadian authorities which prevented tourists or pleasure travellers from using the route. Travel permits are required of all persons using the highway except Canadian or United States service personnel travelling on duty, or persons travelling by bus. Permits are issued only tc persons having business along the highway or in Alaska, pros- pectOrs, settlers, or organized hunting parties who can show that their vehicles are road worthy and that they have required minimum of spare parts and SupDlieS

FEBRUARY 18th TO SEE BJL
 EXcURS'N FROM ANCHORAGE

An excursion by a large num- Der of BJL employees from Anch- orage to Seward on the 18th of this month is being planned.
 There are no grounds for the rumor atht the persons who are on the excursion are the BJL per sonnel who, according to the tale are beig sent to Seward.
 Later in the month an increase in hours may be in vogue and still later an increase in those employ ed, but its said that this all will be due to further allotment of cash from other souSces as the fund for this district has been depleted.
 Should governmental appropria- tons be made they will not be available before July 1st.
 In Alaska July 1St is rather too late in the season to commence heavier or larger projects and it is to be hoped that sufficient ap- propriations from whatever source will be made early enough to tokc advantage of the extremely short sumner and fall work per iod.

Who's to blame?
Although they deplored so large an extra cost

In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to fout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated a paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the, American public stand
for the undemOcratic arbitrary and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatOrial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the, railroads have ac-
cepted the Emergency Board recommended
tiOns. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call paralyzing strike.

look who gets squeezed d!


THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than -tenth of all railroad
employees, have called railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept 1512 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive tc Novem-
Der 1, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase Of 1512 cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmens Union of
North America won't accept what more than
90% of all railroad employees have accepted.
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders-which would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALI the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with
drawn---in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
kave refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
Engineers and iremen are among the high
est paid of all employees in America, as figures
in the box show. This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are a means provided
by the Railway Labor Act in the public inter
est to avoid strikes. The Presidents Board

 Juneau Booster 1 During his year and a half W-tr The Daily Alaska Empire MT. Smlth i has become highly enthusiastic about Juneau. He cites advertising 1 to suggest his enthusiasm.
 A Juneau Upholstery Company ad. for example, utilizes campaign techniques. A campaign was launch ed recently with the headline: Let Your Home Reflect Your Personal itv." Some of the subsequent ads were headed: Solid Home Comfort Let Made Quality Furni- ture Bring You Pleasure" Might As Well Get Set for Autumn Eve nings of Restful Relaxation New Designs Are Here NOW" and There's No Gift Like Furniture. Y
 On Fashion Front
 On the fashion front Stevens Store promotes hosiery sale in an ad headed Could You Wear a Cinderella Slipper?' An ad for dresses was headlined Nominated for Quality
 When two-way radios were in stalled in the Royal Blue Taxis, 10th Royal Blue and Alaska Elec- tronics collaborated to advertise the event on the same page!
 A big black triangle enclosing copy with literary flavor was one way the Triangle Cleaners drought their service to public at tention.
 MT. Smith points to one ad which he thinks might be considered by some as "typically Alaskan It says welcome Men of the Astoria to the Nugget Shop. Famous for Curios." The illustration-a totem polel"
 But, other Nugget Shop ads fea- ture the modern distinguished treat ment. One, illustrated by a large diamond nestling on velvet cush- ion, reads Diamonds of Rare Beau ty Watches of Grace and Charm Known from Nome to New York!
 In addition to the foregoing ac- count of the Juneau advertising scene, Metro reproduced one ot the advertisements Of Stevens. The comment below the advertisement in question reads as follows:
 CHRISTMAS REALLY GETS an early start in Alaska with this above reproduced from The Empire. The 97 refers to the days left in which to select gifts, "so once again Stevens leads the Parade of Gift Values" says the ad featuring gift lines three months before the big holiday"
 Thus, being subscribers to MI lion Dollar Art Service" The Daily Alaska Empire has brought the message of Juneau advertisers into $500 newspaper offices throughout the world.

And the resiliency of the furni- ture is due to the fact that under the fabric lies layers of pliable, tough sponge rubber, known by the trade name "Foamex" and created for better grades of furniture by the industrial products division of Firestone, at Akron, Ohio, rubber center of the world.
 Adding the background to this furniture is the interior decorating and papering which give dramatic evidence of the skill of Walter Di Field by whom the painting and papering was performed.
 Striking indeed is the mosaic in the floor of the lounge which in cludes beautifully executed en- blem of the lodge. The artisan who is responsible for this artistry is the well-known Hix Anderson, whose slogan is. If it's done with a trowel, Anderson does it."
 There are many other factors which have entered into the final of the lounge which will no doubt be brought to the of the public from time to time.
 However, in conclusion, it should be told that the. beautiful lighting fixtures which are so important in giving restful setting to the room and have such vital part in
