disputes.
 What strikes or disputes does ii handle?
 Only those which substantially affect interstate commerce, or (which imperil the national safe ty or health" The service can re- fer dispute of the latter kind to the President for appointment of a fact-finding panel. The Presi- dent can seek a court injunction to halt such strike pending the panels report and further media tion. Such an injunction could halt for 80 days a strike that would imperil the national health or safety
 Are any other strikes illegal?
 Yes, for the first time this law makes illegal any strike for union recognition, for jurisdiction over work. or for the closed shop. It also outlaws the secondary boy
 How can the government halt these strikes?
 Board and it's general counsel, Robert N. Denham, are authorized to seek court injunction. Failure to obey the injunctions makes the unions and their officers liable to fines or jail sentences.
 What is the National Labor Re- lations Bodrd?
 This is an independent five-man agency established by the act to hold elections to determine as to whether employees want union whether they want union shop. or to decertify a union or to with draw union shop authorization. 1t also decides when an employ CT or a union commits an unfair labor practice. The board acts on- ly after it has been petitioned by r,J employee.
 What are unfdir labor practices?
 Employers, as under the Wagner Act. are still forbidden to inter. fcre with. restrain or coerce em. ployees in their efforts to organ ize unions. Employers are forbid den to refuse to bargain with a union certified to represent the employees. For the first time the law puts the same prohibitions on unions. Furthermore. the un- ions are forbidden to engage in the strikes listed above. or to charge excessive initiation fees or to "feathcrbed' by demanding pay for work NOT to be perform ed
 What are the penalties?
 The Labor Board can order re- lnstatement of employees who have been discriminatory dis charged. with back pay from em- ployer or union or both. It can order an end to any unfair labor practice and seek court enforce ment, in which case the offend ing parties are liable to fines Or jail if they violate court order.

ALASKA VETERAN
 IS TO BENEFIT
 UNDER NEW LAW

Of particular interest to Alaska veterans, the Regional Office of the Veterans Administration, today ex- plained certain features of Public Law 512, recently signed by Presi- dent Truman, which increases in- come ceilings for veterans receiving on- the-job training under the GI Bill of Rights.
 The income ceiling for trainees, without dependents has now been increased to allow subsistence and wages to total $2l0 per month in- stead of SITS. Veterans, with one dependent, may now have com hined monthly earned income. plus subsistence, totaling $270. Those, with two or more dependents, are permitted $290.
 Subsistence pay rates for on-the-
 job trainees will remain at S65 and S90 per month, depending on whether or not the trainee has de- pendents.
 It was explained that prior to this new legislation, the earned in- come of a trainee included compen- sation, for overtime work. Under the new law, compensation for pro- ductive labor, beyond the standard work week, is not counted as part of the total earned income in de-
 termining the veterans income cell ing.
