STRAICHTJACKET METHODS

Attempts to tie wages to cost OF living index
have never been successful. The automobile
industry is finding this out the hard way. Recent
when the Bureau Of Labor Statistics index went
up a few points, did not create the favorable
effect that had been expected.
First. the labor leaders who signed for the
cost of living. or escalator clause. discovered that
the BIS index is not a true barometer of living
costs. Thus, the wage increases based on the
index did not make up to the workers their actual
losses due to increased prices. The workers them
selves figured that one out quickly.
Second. the use Of the escalator clause pre-
the agreement, were high enough and that Labor
was then getting its full share. That, Of course,
was and is a complete fallacy.
For instance. consider the wage levels back
in lo4l. They were far too low. They did not
keep the working people content; they did not
stabilize job conditions or make for industrial
peace. Since then, if we are to accept the stats
teal index. the cost Of living has gone up 4 per
cent over the country. Therefore. any plan or
any wage agreement which ties the workingmans
compensation to the cost Of living index does not
improve his lot, but still leaves him behind the
we'll known eight-ball.
Labor will make far better progress for the
members if it shuns so-called escalator clauses,
for they merely serve to put wages in a straight
jacket. The purpose Of American Labor and the
goal toward which it must always strive, is to
improve the comparative standard Of living con
stantly and to enable the man who tolls to i'm
prove his position by obtaining a greater and
therefore a fairer share of what he produces.
American Labor does not and cannot accept
any rule or method which, in effect, sets limits
and bounds on earning power. There are no
limits on profits for business: there should be no
limits on the toiler. AS American industry in
creases its efficiency, and as production per man
hour increases-as it is increasing-Labor Unions
must not be hampered by straieht-iacEe meth
DDS, or they will fail to accomplish their primary
purpose.

COST OF
OR FICTION IN '49

\ lot of people are asking what kind OF presl-
dent Mr.. Dewey would make II elected. Gould
he curb the reactionary tendencies OF such reac-
,ionarv Republican congressman as Taft, Wherry,
Halleck, Brooks and Martin?
Elmer Davis writing in the September issue OF
Harper Magazine puts the question this day:
There remains a problem which out to be
keeping both Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Dewey awake
of nights-the cost Of living. What Dewey
would do about that is not yet clear; what lait
has done about it has not reduced the cost OF
living. Charlie Halleck. to be sure, told the
National Convention that Congress IS licking
the cost Of living; but the reports OF the bureau
of Labor Statistics do not bear him out. An
easy exit from that dilemma would be to get a
new Bureau Of Labor Statistics next January
one that could be counted on to come up with
the right answers. 1t does not seem the kind
Of solution that Mr.. Dewey would favor; but
a lot of the men behind him, if not Immediately
around him. are going to tell him that that is
the obvious way out.
Mr.. Dewey is a cautious man. Tie often avoid'
difficult questions by answering no comment.
But every wage Garner in this country deserves
a fortnight answer to this vital question. namely
The SOth Congress drastlcally cut appro-
priations for the Department. OF Labor and
over President Truman $ veto completely re
moved important bureaus including the 7. ;.
employment Service. The Hoover committee
is reported considering a recommendation to
abolish the Labor department entirely. Now
Elmer Davis states that reactionary Congress
sional leaders in your party will try to Tx
the price index to show a decline in consumer
prices. Labor wants to know 1t you be
come president, would you allow Congress to
destroy the Department of Labor and turn the
Bureau of Labor Statistics into a propaganda
rather than a fact-finding agency?

VICTORY

The general election in Maine, in which two
bills which would have restricted the rights OF
trade unionists were decisively defeated, can be
chalked up as a labor victory, although you could
scarcely gather that from the daily press.
Most newspaper accounts we have seen made
much Of the fact that Maine went Republican,
as if anyone expected it would do anything else.
And if they got around to mentioning the defeat
Of the Barlow bill and the Tabb act at all, it was
generally at the end Of the story.
We hope the defeat of these bills is a reflection
Of popular feeling throughout the nation. But
trade unionists must not forget that the outcome
was the result Of a lot Of hard work by union
members who got out the vote and distributed
Campaign literature.
Hard work pays off. that is the real significance
Of the Maine victory. What Maine unionists
have done, those in other states can do also.

THEY THINK IT COSTS THE
FARMER NOTHING

AS FARMERS, we are proud OF
the farmers reputation for hos
pitality and we are always glad to
set out an extra plate when some
one drops in at meal time, but why
must they seem to think that it costs
the farmer nothing?
My sons have men come out on
business-let us say to deliver gas.
We are eating. OK, they "feed"
along with us. Yet times without
number, we are in their places OF
business and they leave us to wait
while they go home to eat. I'm
getting sort of tired of that way OF
doing.
And people "drive out" of an eve
ming from town. They find the
farmer doing chores or maybe still
in the field
"What a lovely garden you have.
Would you mind if I just took along
some of those nice heads of lettuce
-or a melon-or could you spare
this and the other?"
I give gladly| have had SO many
years without a twig myself, and ]
may have many more, who knows.
If 1 have it, I give it, but I asked
one, 'You have such a big back
yard, why don't you plant veg
etables? You have water too"
She answered, ooh, my back aches
when I hoe, so I just get it where
they have so much already growing"
No need now of a flood of protest.
/ know full well there are many who
are just the opposite who pay
willingly and who graciously share.
To them I give my thanks and app
probation. A FARMER WIFE, yell

mental survey of six farms in a
straight line from this place. These
farms were not exceptional but
fairly representive of other farms in
this vicinity.
Here is a partial list of what these
farmers have bought during the past
year.: One car, two pickups, four
ieeps, six refrigerators, six washing
machines, radios, irons, separators,
milking machines, water systems,
tractors and other farm machinery
and many other articles of lesser
value.
The total value was at least $4,000
for each farmer. Now, multiply this
figure by the number of farmers in
the nation and the result is q tre-
mendous sum.
The city workers and housewives
who are rejoicing at the drop IN
farm prices seem to be too dumb to
realize that their jobs depend to a
large extent on the buying power of
the farmers. Take that away or re-
duce it substantially, and idle work
ers and closed factories are the re-
suit.
The city buyers cannot get it out
of their heads that prices are high

The local Sawyer store here has q

$3.50 a month. In addition they have

cannot operate for nothing.

 Coolidge did not name the for eign power directly but referred later to the Hammer and Sickle. The Lieutenant Governor said the Flaw allan leader sent him a photostat CODY of the secret order"

ALASkk MAYORS
 DISCUSS THEIR
 MANY PROBLEMS
First Annual Mayors Con- ference Opens Here for
 Three-Da Meeting

A three day conference here of Mayors from SEE Alaska cities got underway this morning in the City Council Chambers with Juneau's Mayor w. E. Hendrlckson presid- ing.
 The mayors, meeting to discuss mutual problems and to exchange ideas, had Territorial Engineer Frank A. Metcalf before them for an hour to answer questions and furnish information on the dispen- sation of Territorial Gasoline Tax funds.
 They also discussed police prob lens, operation of small boat har- bors, floats and docks.
 The inadequacy of the Terri torial Department Of Welfare re- garding the disposition of minor children came in for considerable discussion and criticism from the mayors.
 The problem of securing addi- tional revenues for their muni- cipalities was talked over and many questions were asked on the variability of the City of Sitka's sales tax.
 Tomorrow, the mayors will dine at Mikes Place in Douglas, and will then attend the Mayors Night celebration at the Gold Medal Basketball Tournament.
 Present at today's meetings were Mrs. Doris Barnes, Mayor of Wran- gell; Mike Pusich, Mayor of Douglas; City Clerk Frank Cal win, of Sitka; and Mrs. Hilda Schoonover, City Clerk of Hoonah. Mayor Harry Haugen of Sitka was unable to attend because of oth- CT business, and Mayor Harry Douglas, of Hoonah, was too ill to be present.
 Mayor Carl Veyelstad, of Peters burg, and Mayor C. A. Pat Car rcll, of Skagway, arrived here too late for today's conference, but will attend other meetings schedul- ed for Friday and Saturday morn ings. Mayor R. E. Ellis, of Ketch- ikan, is expected here tomorrow from a trip to Anchorage.
 Calvin, on behalf of Mayor Haugen, extended an invitation to the mayors to hold their next con- ference at Sitka. An annual meet ing is being considered by the group.

KRUG LETTER
 RECEIVED BY
 CHAMBER HERE:

Secretary of the Interior Julius Krug informed the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce by letter today that he has received the Cham Der resolution in support of legis- lation aimed at clearing up the problem of aboriginal rights.
 Secretary Krug stated he feels that public as well as private in- terests are involved in the prob lem. The Interior Department re- gently has entered opposition to the proposed legislation resembling reservations created by the Depart nent and repeating the law giv- ing the Department authority to create the reservations.
 In response to a Chamber re- quest, Comdr. Ed Chester, US. C.G., explained the Coast Guards auxiliary flotilla program and sug- gested that the Chamber contact 18th District Coast Guard Head quarters for full particulars.
 Two new members were introduc- ed the Rev. Samuel McPhetres, new pastor of the Holy Trinity Church, and Ed Lupro of the Cap itol Typewriter Company of Ju- neau.
 Guests included: Jack Conway of Sitka, Gordon Wildes of Som mers Construction Co.,, Charles w.

enough room, Fifty large halibut boats use Juneau as a home port, and more would base here if given the proper facilities.
 The lumber and logging industry has increased considerably under the expansion program of Juneau Spruce Corporation which has in- creased yearly output of the Juneau mill from Is million board feet in 1946 to 40 million last year and contemplated 60 million in 1948 None of the tugs engaged in towing log rafts to the mill can use the present small boat harbor. A con- templated pulp mill development near Juneau would further aggre- vate this situation.
 Expected resumption of mining activities in this area on a large scale will also cramp present fac ilities since most of the outlying camps are served by small boat and barge, the report states
 Recreational and tourist advan- tages of this area are bringing in- creases in the number of pleasure boats, both visitors and for hire.
 Trappers and fur farmers are served by small boats which need safe harborage in Juneau and var ious Government agencies have need for additional space for boats and planes.
 Under present plans the War De- partment would build the break waters and dredge the basin. The city would build and maintain floats, hangars, approaches and other nec- essary facilities for public use. The basin would be dredged to minus IA feet or deeper for approaches to al- low boats up to nine-foot draft to float free. The harbor would be 2200 feet long with 17 floats, for Gov ernment use.
