UNENpL 0YMENT
 CONFIRMATION
 FUND GROWING
Adjusted Credit Rating for Employers Is Nof Harm
 full, Says Mrs. Engsir0m

The Alaska Unemployment Com pensation Fund is growing faster than it can be used according to Mrs. Elton Engstrom member of the last Territorial Legislature and now candidate for the Republican nomination to the Territorial Sen. ate.
 Mrs. Engstrom, as member of the Legislature, secured statistics from R. E. Sheldon, Executive Di- rector of the Alaska Unemploy ment Compensation Commission, on the operation of the fund. She says: There is some misrepresen- tation of the Adjusted Credit Rat ing provision which is called an act against labor and for the benefit of absentee interests"
 Mrs. Engstrom said that Shell don informed her that the Credit Rating provision has not resulted in any non-payment or reduction of payments of Unemployment Compensate claims.
 According to Sheldon's figures says Mrs. Engstrom, there was $l,400,000 more in the fund on March 31 than at the same time last year, despite credit rating to cne- third of the Territorial em- ployers amounting to $450,000.
 There are 2,174 employers who pay into the fund, she said Dur ing 1947, they paid S2,000,000, and 8G6 employers received credit rat ings under six classifications. They had paid in for at least four years and satisfied other require ments
 In 1947, says the Senate as- pirant, claims paid amounted to $556,000
 The fund now totals $10800,000 as compared with S9,4o0,0O0 one year ago.

NEW WEIGHT RATES
 ON STATEMENTS FOR ALASKA EFFECTIVE
Northern Voyager Sailing from Seattle April 16 2
 Uses New System

Sailing from Seattle on April Is for Southeast Alaska, the North ern Voyager of the Alaska Trans portaticn Company will be the first vessel to give shippers and receiv- CTS the benefit of the new weight rates on groceries, recently adopt ed by the Southeast Alaskan Con ference with the approval of the U. s. Maritime Commission, says Jim Church, Juneau agent.
 Tn tests made during the last couple of weeks. on various AL aska steamship operators wharves, the new rates show reduction in transportation charges of 18 to 20 percent. This accrues to the ship per or receiver.
 There will also be a saving to the steamship operators through the use of weight rates as against measurement rates when the Se- attle and Alaska Terminals also adopted the weight basis for their charges, thus doing away with the necessity of measuring the pack ages of groceries. This reduction being on groceries used by all citizens of the Territory, is placing the saving in transportation cost where it will benefit the greatest number.
 The Northern Voyager will sail from Pier 58, April 16 The re- duced rates became effective Ap- Til 12.

HAWKINS ISSUES
 EXpLANATI0N OF ! MILL POSITION
SawmilI Workers EIett New Union President and
 Vice e-President
Continued from Page one)

Bay Camp said Hawkins, was due | to the fact that the sawmill in Ju- Ineau is closed with a picket line placed around it because of the cur rent ILWU dispute and the uncer- tain length of time it will be shut down. it would not be wise to store any more logs here. Then too, the danger of toredo action is great at this time of the year"
 Longshore Scale TcO High T have notified the remaining employees at Edna Bay that this Corporation would negotiate with them if and when they get NLRB certitication.
 In regard to the strike at the mill here in Juneau. our company lis unable to pay the wage scales de- Imanded by the longshoremen. The amount of work that they do for the wages they demand would increase our costs so that we could not com pete in the sale of lumber in the States. The steamship rates do not permit us to sell lumber shipped in 1oats to the States. Therefore, we will either ship by barges or not at all and we will not pay the long shoremen the wages they demand for the amount of work that they produce for other employers ina Ju- neau. If they were willing to give fair days work for a fair days pay, we would just as soon hire them as anyone else"
