ALASKA DEFENSE PROGRAM URGED
 BY SEATTLE CC


 Calling Alaska the weakest link in GUT chain of national defense, John Perry, Chairman of the Alaska Division of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, strongly re- ccmmends the adoption of the pro- roged S139,0O0,C00 Congressional appropriation to strengthen Alas kan defenses. .s..
 In wire to the Chambers Wash ,ngton, DC, offices, Perry requested that all members of the Washing ton State delegation be urged to apply their maximum influence in behalf of the Alaska defense ap- prcpriation. Alaska is vulnerable, Perry said, which lends encourage ment to aggressive action by foreign nations. The amount involved in the proposed appropriation is small compared to the risk of leaving the dcor open to military action against the poorly protected Territory.

Why Labor Supports FEPC

Organized labor wants fair employment practice
mission laws for many
First, because discrimination is contrary to demo-
cratic way of life 1t makes to teach children
that all created equal if don't practice equal
ity where it cOunts-in the chance to make living.
Second discrimination costs union workers money
When people find many jobs closed to them because OF
religion they have to take whatever jobs and what
salaries they're offered. This creates cheap labor
and makes harder for unions to win decent labor
standards for their members 1t all workers have to
settle for less than they deserve 1t takes chunk out of
your pay envelope every week.
Finally organized labor learned long time ago that
the only way improve conditions for any workers. is to
improve them for all workers. Otherwise the at the
bottom of the ladder pulls all the rest down with him. Fair
employment practices give everyone better break That's
why labor is pushing for state and federal FEPC.

Little Thinqs ReullY Count

At time another all of us have executives
who have made life miserable for their subordnates merely
their breakfast eggs weren't poached correctly
because their coffee wasn't just right.
The word goes around the office the plant Old j. B.
is grumpy bear today better watch out or he'll eat
your off,"
One of fe unsolved mysteries why these executives
refuse to recognize that poor working conditions can upset
their employees and make them grumpy, too
breakfast egg that's bit too hard doesn't begin to
compare with plant that's too cod too hot poorly
lighted or badly ventilated
And weak coffee is really mild compared with an over
bearing foreman.
It's something to think about isn't it?
In way, you apply the type of reasoning to
the increase in unemployment
Joblessness at present isn't serious. At least that's
what of the economic experts say
But how about those who out of work? They still
pay rent buy food and provide milk for the kids
Their insurance premiums still come due regularly To them
the situation is deadly serious.
All of which leads us to remark that some fellow knew
what he talking about when he said:
"Our big troubles the total of all of our little
ones"
