JUNIOR CHAMBER OkEH'5 DENNIS
 STRIKE pRop05AI

The Junior Chamber of Com merce gave approval in essence this noon of the interim agreement i,e- tween unions and ship operators for the movement of Alaskan shipping proposed Monday following meet ing of leaders of five striking West Coast maritime unions and Mayor Devin of Seattle.
 Jaycees appointed special com- mittee to send letters. to Mayor Devin, ship operators and unions giving their stand on the proposal
 Gov. Grening who headed the list of B special guests of the Junior Chamber at their luncheon meeting at the Baranof Hotel, told members that following an exchange of wires with Mayor Devin, operators and unions the situation is still in a state of flux. Companies have not signified their stand on the agree ment, but indications are that the operators do not consider the pro- posed conditions satisfactory"
 We do not feel that Alaska should be the victim of long-distance dis putes year after year." Gruening said. "The disputes are always set tied sooner or later, but Alaska can not afford to take this treatment. !"
 The Governor introduced It. Comdr. E. P. Chester Jr. who spoke briefly on the maritime situation.
 Our feeling is," Chester said that since Alaska ports are not tied up, that the problems involved in the West Coast strike should not re- strain the movement of vesesls to Alaska"
 Guests introduced by the Gov ernor included heads of govern mental agencies in Alaska compos- ing the Alaska Field Committee for coordinated action on Territorial problems. At the meeting were Chairman Kenneth Kadow, John Reed, staff geologist for U. s. Geo. logical Survey, Lowell M. Puckett. Director of the Bureau of Land Management, Don Foster, Superin- tendent of the Alaska Native Serv- ice, Clarence Rhode, Alaska Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, c. D.

Defy Federal Com.
 In Ship Case

SEATTLE, Oct. 8.-tR- The striking Marine Firemens Union said yesterday it had refused to shift two former Alaska ships to a Columbia River layup for the Fed eral Maritime Commission.
 James Greenhouse, union pusi- ness agent, said the refusal was made because. he charged, the Commission "double-crossed' the firemen in recent transfer of the refrigerator ship Grommet Reefer to the Army.
 The ship was recently turned back to the commission by the Alaska Transportation Company and then turned over to the Seattle Port of Embarkation for Alaska Army service.
 Greenhouse asserted the union agreed to shift the Grommet Reefer to the shipyard for sur vey when the company turned her hack to the Commission, but it was with the understanding the ship would go direct to layup. Instead, she went to the Army"
 The vessels which had been scheduled to go to Columbia River layup are the Jumper Hitch and Reef Knot. They were turned back to the Commission recently by the Alaska Steamship Com pany.

JOKER IN STRIKERS.
 pR0p05AL
Governor Gets Information
 from Skinner on 0perdt- ing Ships 10 Alaska

SEATTLE, Oct. 9.--R-Water- front employers in Seattle tolc Governor Ernest Gruening of Al aska yesterday that there is g joker" in the proposals of strik- ing maritime unions to load and sail ships to the Territory.
 President Gilbert w. Skinner oi the Alaska Steamship Company made public the exchange with the Governor.
 He said Gruening Ielegraphec that he understood Mayor William Devin of Seattle had secured ar agreement from CIO unions te Toad and sail Alaska steamers un- der pre-strike conditions witt, retroactive increases of pay il these should be granted in the strike settlement"
 Alaska unions the Governor said, "are not involved in this strike, yet all Alaskans are being made to suffer by conditions be- yond their control. Hope you will agree to have Alaskan ships op- crate pending settlement of youl strike differences instead of using Alaskans as hostages.
 Skinncr's Reply
 
 Skinner replied that the welfare of the Territory of Alaska is anc will continue to be our first con sideration.' He added, however that there is joker in the union proposal"
 The pre- oeal, he said, is that ships would be sailed on the same basis as the Nome relief ship meaning no southbound cargo per mitted-the union to name the ports of call to be serviced each sailing.
 Furthermore he said, we are unable to use our own vessels fol Alaska service because our fleet is
 
 strikebound fully laden with nc provisions for unloading the car go.
 Must Thwart Unions
 We feel certain that the Alas kans would not want you to turn the goyernorship of Alaska over to the striking unions. Neither dc they want us to turn over to them the operation of our ships"
 Skinner said that If the Terri tory of Alaska is to enjoy the security of uninterrupted water transportation, it is imperative that the striking union leadership be thwarted in their efforts to ruin completely the shipping industry.
 Gruenings telegram also was received by Norton Clapp, presi- dent of the Alaska Transportation Company, and Frank Foisie, pres ident of the Waterfront Employers Association.

HOUSING
 TAKEN UP
 BY DEWEY
Makes Plea in New York City Address : Truman
 Campaigns in Albany
(By The. Associated Press)

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey called today for joint action to end the housing shortage. The Republican Presidential candidate said the job cannot be done by the Federal government alone.
 Dewey said the program should and can be worked out by indus try, labor. capital and the various government-state. local and na- tional.
 If Federal aid is needed to get action, he said, it can be supplied to states on a realistic, practi- cal basis"
 President Truman repeatedly has accused the Republicans of failing to do anything about housing and contended that Dewey favors putting two families in every garage"
 Dewey laid down his views on the problem in an address prepared for ground breaking ceremonies at a housing project in New York City.
 Truman In Albany
 While he was there, MT. Tru- man moved into Albany with a plea that voters keep the Demo- crats in power
 Why in the world would you want to upset the applecart now and throw out an administration that brought about this prosper ity?" Mr. Truman asked.
 He spoke to a trainside crowd in the New York state capital on his way to Buffalo to deliver a major address tonight. Police es- timated the throng at 5000.
 New Rally Signs
 Mir. Truman referred to the Hoover administration in a series of campaign speeches yesterday in New Jersey where many rally signs read-"We Want Low Cost Hous- ing.r
 MT. Truman said the people should vote the Democratic ticket if they want higher minimum wage, bigger Social Security bene- fits, fair deal for labor and a government that puts people ahead of property"
 This view was countered by Gov. Earl Warren, the COP Vice Presi- dential candidate. He pointed to his party's record in state welfare legislation as an example of Re publicaniSm in practice"

J5( Mill Is 10 Close
 On Monday

The Juneau Spruce Corporation
 will suspend operations Monday night for an indefinite period, it was announced today by Freeman
 Schultz, General Manager. The AFL Longshoremen at Tacoma refused
 to unload a JSC barge last week because of the jurisdictional dispute that exists between the CIO-ILWU and the CIO-IWA here.
 The JSC dock and yards are filled to capacity with 3,0O0, 900 board feet
 of lumber, and with the closure of the port of Tacoma, the Juneau Spruce now has no ports open to it. The Prince Rupert and Seward ports had previously refused to handle the cargo. The AFL Long, 1, shoremen at Tacoma unloaded one JSC barge early in September. MT. Schultz said: We certainly regret the necessity of closing down at this time, especially since our employees lost three months work this summer, but we have no place to put the lumber and no place to send it."
 Schultz said that the mill na-
 chinery would be conditioned for
 winter shutdown protection, and an eight-foot board fence built around the entire yard. After this work is completed, there will only be one watchman on duty On the present
 payroll are 90 men.
 The Juneau Spruce Corporation has 100000 feet of logs in Cas- tineau Channel and if the mill does not reopen within a reasonable length of time, the logs will be sold to other logging concerns.
 An NI.RB hearing on the juris-
 dictionai dispute between the two
 unions was held in Juneau in Sep- tember. Schultz received word re- gently that the report from the
 hearing has not yet reached Wash- ington, D. c.

FINANCIAL
 CONDITION
 OF ALASKA
Territorial Treasurer Olson issues Statement as
 of Sept. 30

Clarifying conflicting reports which have been made as to the
 state of the Territorial Treasury, Treasurer Oscar c. Olson has re- leased the following statement on the condition of the Treasury, as of September 30. l948:
 The Territory's general fund was short $227,524.86 of being able to meet it's obligations as of the end of September. There was $44,l79.86 in the general fund as the books were closed Against this amount due to delay in vouchers being presented, a sum of $37,598.98 was paid the following day in rural teachers salaries, leaving a balance in the general fund of $6,580.8 Vouchers in the amount of $234,- 105.l1 chargeable against the gen. eral fund are being held up in the Auditors office. This amount less the s6,58O.88 remaining in the general fund, leaves the fund $227. .52423 short of being able to meet all obligations.
 The vouchers being held up in clude $46,93l 90 to the Teachers Re- , tirement System; $80,750.00 for school refunds to incorporated towns for the month of September, $64, ,750.00 for the University of Alaska, and s4l.673.2l in miscel- laneous items. a total of s234,- | i0511.
 From now until the end of the year it Is estimated there will be approximately $400,0o0 coming ! into the Treasury in tax money available for general fund purposes. The largest part of this will be in liquor taxes. Actual monies due will just about meet the pay roll for the next three months
 which runs $l20,000 per month. or for the three months period $360,- [ OO0
 School refunds to incorporated towns will run an average of $l00,- 900 per month through next April. ! There is no prospect at this time that any school refunds will be paid at least until after the first of the year.
 The Treasurer's bank balance as of September 30 was $2063 ,956 68. Against this is deducted $357 ,32807 i in outstanding warrants, leaving a balance of sl.7O6, ,628.6l. Of this latter amount $1,662. .448.75 is in special funds and funds incorpor- ated in the general fund which are not available for the general operation of the Territory, leav- ing a cash balance in the general fund of s44,179.86. The rural teachers salaries in the amount of S37,598.98 paid just after the closing of the books leaves ball. ance in the general fund >of $6,- 580.88 on October 4.
 The present crisis in TerrltcrIal finances would have arrived many months sooner had 1t not been for prompt action by the Board of Administration immediately af- ter the l947 Legislative session in freezing" spending of $l,038 ,000 in appropriations for construction and in requesting repayment to the general fund of $350,00O from the World War II Veterans Fund.

WASHINGTON- Honest Harold Ickes, who sometimes yields a meat axe for a pen, and Harry Truman, who can be blunter than a concrete pavement, got. along pretty well when they met at the White House this week.
 Neither had seen each other since they parted in a blaze of verbal glory two and a half years ago.
 T never held anything against you" the President told his ex- Secretary of the Interior. Obvious ly he was referring to some of the things Ickes wrote about him in his pungent column.
 Probably Ickes could have said the same about some of Truman's harsh remarks, but he didn't. In- stead he reminded his ex-boss about an incident which Truman
