JUNEAU SPRUCE DEFENDS STAND
 TO CLOSE MILL
Hawkins Gets Supporffrom Company Board of Di-
 reCfors-His Statement.

The following statement was re- leased today by E. S. Hawkins, Man ager of Juneau Spruce Corporation
 Tt has been reported that the Se- attle Regional Director of the Ma tionaI Labor Relations Board has advised he will recommend to the General Counsel of the Board that the charges against ILWU, 1-l6 be dismissed. We have no comment on this report other than to state that we will await the decision of the General Counsel before deciding de- finitely what to do.
 ''It is entirely probable, however, that if the Regional Director does recommend dismissal of the charges, and ii the General Counsel adopts such a recommendation, we will pro- ceed to ask for a hearing as provided in the rules of procedure. It is diff ficult for us to believe that the law does not mean what it says when 1t states, in plain language. that 1t IS an unfair lator practice for a labor organization to strike or to encour- age or induce employees to strike in support of an effort to force an em- ployer to assign work to a certain craft or group when he has already assigned it to another craft or group.
 We are fully aware of the leng- thy period of time it will take II It becomes necessary to resort to all the procedure set up by the NLRB to decide these cases We are aware of the effect such lengthy proce- dure will have upon the community if we have to go through with that to get the mill in operation again. We are aware of our obligation to meet and bargain with any organi- zation that represents majority of our employees. This is evidenced by the fact that we have met and bargained with Local M-271, IVA, CIO, and have signed an agreement with that organization covering all employees at the mill excepting su-
 
 perintendents, foremen and office employees. It is further evidenced by the fact that we have met and hargained with Local M-232, IVA, CIO, and are in the process of ne- gotiating an agreement with that organization covering our logging employees. We are also aware that there is nothing in the National La bor Relations Act, the Labor Man agement Relations Act or any other law obligating us to meet and bar gain with an organization that does not represent, and has never claim ed to represent. single one of our employees.
 Local ILWU, No. 1-16 is quoted as stating it has attempted since last September to negotiate with Juneau Spruce Corporation and Will meet at any designated time to ne- gotiate a working agreement. This

BIG B0EING
 PLANT IDLE
 BY STRIKE
Nearly Fourteen Thousand Workers Out in Climax
 of Wage Dispute

SEATTLE, April 22.-R-The pro- duction lines of the Boeing Airplane Company No. source of U. s Air Force bombers-stood idle today as 13,8C0 workers went out on strike to climax year-long wage dispute
 Tickets of the Aeronautical Me chanics Union tInd) took up their posts shortly after midnight. All production ceased at 12;30 am when swing shift workers left the plant.
 The strike is the outgrowth of un- ion demands for a 30-cent hourly wage increase, eight paid holidays and seniority clause.
 The plant workers voted March 25, l947, to strike in support of de- mandS but, at that time, the Inter- national refused to authorize the walkout.
 Today's strike followed failure oi Federal conciliators to bring about a meeting tetween the union and company representatives.
 President William M. Allen ot Boeing said the additional union demand for eight paid holidays would push the pay boost to 35 cents an hour.
 "The company cannot remain ir business and pay wages that fai above the rest of the industry" ht asserted.
 A 15-cent increase offered bv the company in January, Allen said would have been well above tht highest wages paid in the industry
 Union spokesmen said the averags wage at the plant is $1.S8 an hour which is extremely low in compar- ison with living costs and othel wages in the Seattle area
 The strike halts production or the Army's new super-jet bomber the XB-47, as we'll as stratocruisers stratofreighters, and the Army's new cargo plane, the C-97

WASHINGTON Ohio's usually solemn Senator Robert A. Taft and his wife, Martha, were listening to a radio program, "CBS Was There" dramatizing ancient times in modern language. This particu- lar program was based on the fall of ancient Pompeii, and the dram atization was grim and gruesome,

Blackfeet Indians, think twice
before you sign away your natu-
raj resources for 124 per cent
royalty, which is for your bene-
fit, for your children who will
carry on.
The massive Rocky Mountains,
with their towering heights bor-

Our Great Creator, caused these
massive mountains to reveal their

hidden treasures of gold, silver,
copper and the multitudes of or
ganic matter, "The Mother of
Oil and Cas-" These massive
mountains are the starting home
of our great rivers and streams
and great forests-all for the use
of man.
We, the Blackfeet Indians,
have these wonderful opportuni-
ties at our disposal. You have
experienced the greatest demand
for gas and oil in history and out

the hundreds of seismographins

have insisted during the past

Fortunately, Blackfeet Indian

Live in Russia?

One test Of country's economic
pattern is whether you would like to
live there. The advantages Of the
social scene, in other words, make
up its strongest advertisement. Or,
the proof of the pudding is In the
eating. 1t is common scandal. nat
urally, that none of our American
fellow travellers" cherish the idea
of actually living in Russia. Appar-
emily, from a personal viewpoint
they'll take American living any
day.
On that point, these Communists
and RussophobeS show good judg-
ment. Your Russian factory worker,
under the new Russian prices, has
to spend the income of one hour and
10 minutes of labor for q quart of
milk, which the average American
factory worker gets in exchange for
the price Of 10 minutes of his labor.
A pound of butter costs the Russian
10 hours and AZ minutes; the Aneri-
can only 48,a minutes (not counting
the time spent gripping about the
current price,.
Spending Labor
II costs the Russian factory
worker about four weeks work to
get himself a part-wool suit. If he
wants a worsted suit he'll have to
spend his entire pay for more than
three months. His American coun-
terpart can work out a good quality
worsted suit in little more than
three days. More than two weeks
pay would have 10 90 into pair OF
leather shoes for the Russian, yet
the American can work them out in
less than day.
These comparisons are based
upon estimates of the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, and on Russian
prices as reported by the Associated
Press in December. The COMPARE
sons are as accurate as the iron
curtain will permit. They show that
prices in communistic economy
are much higher than our own, in
terms of work. And those are the
terms that count.
Eating the Pudding
The real pay-oif OF any economic
system comes in the standard of
living that it provides for its people.
Without question. the American
workingnan enjoys the highest liv-
ing standards of any nation. He's
rightly proud of this. although he
may not know the United States has
81 per cent of the worlds tele-
phones, 81 per cent of the autono-
Siles. nearly so per cent of the
radios, and 90 per cent Ut all the
bathtubs on this planet!
A "capitalistic" country, contrary
10 Russian description. is a nation
where men are permitted TO have d
high standard of living. This is ex-
emplifed by America. Here, men
arc free to work, to invent, to init
ate, to experiment. to engage in the
enterprise of their dreams. Unham.
pered by restrictions that in other
nations tend to keep down any in
dividual enterprise. an American
worker can start his own factory or
set up his own business.
We take all these things for
granted, along with our vastly supe.
rior standard Of living. What we
must assuredly know is this: these
things we have, these privileges of
ours, exist because of basic prin-
ciples that belong to the American
Way. Cur individual freedom of en-.
terprise is distinctly American. No
Colnmmistic or SOcialistic state can
offer that TO its people.
