Who Runs This Congress?

Openly admitting that big business this Congress-
the magazine Business Week. which is devoted to the
interests of industry and finance has this to say about
Union Shop elections:
Here's why Congress is going to relieve Unions of hay
ing to win election to be eligible for Union Shop
tract:
"O) NLRB is being swamped with 5000 requests for
elections every monthand the Unions win 80 out Of 100
of them anyway
"(2) Management has been embarrassed at the bargain
ing table by the moral pressure to grant union shop
the Union has won a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS referendum
That's plain enough isn't it? Because employers
embarrassed, Congress will go to their rescue

Is Bucks Per Month

A fellow know has decided-mOst definitely to
retire and try to live life of his Social Security pen
sion
He figured it out this way:
He could provide decent shelter with his pension but
would have to go naked and starVe to death.
A fairly good room in Washington, you know, rents
for $25 monththe exact amount of the pension he would
draw.
And % bucks a month is the average being paid
retired workers under the Social Security System
That isn't enough, President Truman said in message
TO Congress the other day.
Back in 1885 when the Social Security Act passed,
there millions of persons who considered the SIS pen
sion schedule reasonable
And maybe it was.
But today it takes nearly much money to buy
basket required for basketfu of groceries in those
days.
The Social Security Act amended back in 1889 to
make the pension provision liberal

Infldtion And Your Wages

Publication of recent studies made by economic
searchers employed by the American Federation Of Labor
has brought to light appalling facts. For instance
Working people have lost ground in real wages in the last
two years. In 1947 the wageearnerS not well off
they in 1915. Many prices especially rents went
up from two to five times much wages
What about business? That's different story. The
Department of Commerce and President Trmans Council
of Economic Advisors report that corporation

more than three times the total profits of 1899.
This much is plain. Wage increases have not been the

NO BIDS RECEIVED
 ON RECEIVERS SALE
 OF LOCAL MILL PROPERTY

Colonel o. F. ohlson, Receiver for the Alaska Asiatic Lumber Mills. Inc, reported that no bids were received on the Receivers Invitation for Bids on the Alaska Asiatic Lumber Mills. Inc. property at Wrangell. Alaska, which were to be opened in the Receivers of flee at 10 am. Wednesday, Novem- Der 10, 194S.
 Tt is true" Colonel 0hlson said, "that the present situation does not look very good to prospective investors as all of the larger saw mills in Southeastern Alaska ex- cept the Ketehikan Spruce Mills, are closed down because of the present maritime strike, and the fact that the U. s. Army is not purchasing lumber and will not be in a position to do so for some months. It is also the thought that the investors in the states who have shown great interest in the property and have expended large amounts in research work were influenced hy these con ditions, also the present economic instability. and therefore decided not to submit their bids.
 "In rendering my report to the Court" he concluded, "it is my intention to recommend that no single part of the mill equipment be disposed of to any prospective buyer of individual parts as it is essential that the property be held intact for the benefit of any purchaser interested in the pur- chase of the property for the purpose of operating it at a later date after the present situation has cleared up and if this does sot materialize, an alternative rec will be made that the mill property be offered to the mortgages with the under standing that they pay the Re- ceiver's expenses, all Federal, Ter and City taxes, and labor claims"
 Depending on the weather, MT. Ohlson is scheduled to fly to Juneau today to make his report to the district court.
