John L. Looks Like Piker by
Comparison
Now by comparison to the Coal
Miners having to dig up million and
half the ITU and its members make
John L. look like a piker.
Recently in Chicago the printers
went on strike for % months to win
their fight against the multimillion
dollar newspaper publishers, and win
they did. To help this along the co.
600 members of the ITU assessed
themselves per cent of their earn
ings for one year to raise an amount
of $18, 100000 in that period. Of that
amount $11, 100000 was spent in Chi
cago to win the strike. This is an av-
erage of $2O2.78 per printer, de-
pending upon his earnings, to help
win this fight 1t was not uncommon
for printer to pay as little as s25
month union dues, and often go
ing up to $45 or even higher. (Ad-
ditional factors enter into the union
dues.)
1t is estimated that lost wages
amounted to between six and seven
million dollars for this one strike.
However, don't get the impression
that these printers were going with
out wages all this time. The ITU pays
strike benefits to any subordinate
strikebound union that has gone on
strike with sanction of ITU in an
amount of 609o for married men and
4096 for single men based on their
weekly wage before a strike.
Suggests One Big Strike Fund
I, personally, am not in favor of
sending a dollar to help the coal
miners pay of their debt. However,
| am in favor of donating two dollars
for the cause of All Organized Labor.
One dollar to go for political fund
to fight for men who will fight and
vote for labor and it's beliefs. The
other dollar to go into fund for any
Justified strikebound union to help
its members get livable wage while
on strike, to keep food in the mouths
Of the strikers families.
Let's face it. In order to do all
his All Organized Labor must forget
heir petty differences and join into
me great organization so Organized
Labor is not disorganized against
common foe, whoever he or it maybe
Let Labor Really Organize so we can
All Fight Together for the good of
III. If 10000 printers can fight this
lard and win, think of how many
'attles could be won by the joint eff
orts of All Organized Labor in a
imilar way. No one union can lead
he fight alone without the help of all
he other unions. If the facts were
nown there are several more in
tances where one union or another
) fighting for its life unheralded in
EDITION to the two just mentioned.
cts hear from some other unions
bout their fights for labor, so we can
rganize.

NO MILL PLANS SAYS SCHULTZ
 AT (. (. MEET
JSC Manager Gives His PiCfure-C Chamber Wel-
 comes {. C. Officials

No plans for rebuilding the Ju- neau Spruce Corp. lumber mill have been made, Freeman Schultz, mill manager said today, speaking brief ly before the Juneau Chamber oi Commerce meeting at the Baranoi hotel.
 We are not ready to call in the undertaken yet" he said, but 1t is too early to make any state ments."
 Schultz said the insurance ad- lusters would be here tomorrow to investigate the ruins of the mlll which was destroyed in a spectac- ular blaze early Monday morning
 Even if a decision to rebuild IS reached, it is certain that no lum- Der could be produced at the mill until the middle oi 1951,' he said. "The planning stage would take at least six months and a year would be necessary to reconstruct the mill"
 'sThis is a little rough he said, but it is better to face the issue. There will be little employment at the JSC. All lumber will be ship ped out, boats will be taken south to fresh water harbors and sup plies will also be shipped south.
 NO decision has been made re- garding operation of the retail yard in Juneau, but yards in Anchorage and Fairbanks will remain open, ," he added
 With all but two members of the Chambers board of directors out of town, Second Vice President Henry Green took over as chairman of the session, and board member o. F. Benecke sat in as secretary.

 Tt is obvious that lot of work has been done, but there will have to be more" he said. Our person. mel is now housed in hotels, but it is obvious also that this situa- tion cannot be maintained"
 ..It is a serious matter for your community" he said 'The Admir- al is exacting and wishes to be quite sure that the staff has hous- ing before opening the district office'
