.CIO VS. CP
Fight Marks
.UE Convention

CLEVELAND (LPA) - Inc.
showdown fight for control of
the United Electrical Workers,
third largest CIO union, will
be staged at the unions con-
yention here this week. A close
fight is predicted on the basis
of delegates votes checked be-
forehand.
The pro Communists seized
control in 1941, when they
ousted CIO Secretary-Treasurer
James B. Carey as president.
They have held it since, al
though defections of locals in
the past year have cut the
unions strength. Although past
efforts of the anti-Communists
have failed, they have increased
their strength steadily, u til l
they enter the convention this
year with an even chance of
winning.
Fight Booming
If the followers of the Com
munist party line retain control
the national CIO convention in
Cleveland next month is ex-
pected to issue charter for a
new electrical workers union.
Recent maneuverings by the
"party line" boys indicate they
desperately want to r e m n
within the CIO, and will resist
efforts to throw them out
The administration slate for
election of officers is made up
of the old stand-bys; President
Albert j. Fitzgerald, Secretary
Treasurer Julius Emspak and
Director of Organization James
Matles, who have held these
union posts for years,
Opposition is led by 80 year
old Fred Kelley, candidate for
president, from the same GE
local as Fitzgerald, in Lynn,
Mass. Secretary treasurer on the
pro-CIO slate is Mike Fitz-
patrick, former United Mine
Workers member who is now a
machinist at the big Westing-
house plant in Pittsburgh. Irish
born John Dillon, president of
( the UE local in Long Island
City, NY, is running for the
post of Organization Director.
Membership Drops
Pro-CIOers are charging that
"u n d e r Communist leadership,
the membership of UE dropped
from 4,246 in March, 1948 to
$4,000 in June, 1949." Many
union locals, disgusted with con-
troll from the top, have seeded
and Joined other international
unions.
The UE opposition is propos-
ing convention resolutions to
implement the following eight
pOlHI pTOBidIIl'
Am all-out organizational
drive to bring within the UE
the thousands of open shops
which thre tie union wage
standards.
"2-T he standardization o
wage levels in geographical
areas.
/ GA thirty-hour week and
a guaranteed annual wage.
"4-An end to the raiding of
the UE by other CIO unions,
and an end to the conduct of
UE affairs by its leaders which
facilitates such secession.
"5-Full support of the Ma
tional CLOS policies.
"6-Support of the Marshall
Plan, and of continued aid to
the democratic forces in Europe
"7-Repeal of the Taft Hart
leyLaw, reinstatement of the
principles of the Wagner Act.
"8-Support for broadened
social security legislation, and a
permanent FEPC."

5ITkA HIGH SCHOOL BAND, 45MU5ICIAN5,
 COMES HERE APRIL ?

The 45 piece concert band ot Sitka High School will be presented n concert at the Juneau High school gymnasium, Saturday eve ming. April g. The band is under the direction of Thomas F. Jones.
 This organization comes to Ju- neau high school in an exchange of concerts between the two schools of Juneau and Sitka. A month later, the Juneau high school band, under the direction of Joseph Shof- ner, travels to Sitka to give con- cert there.
 This concert exchange is intended 10 stimulate interest in instru- mental music in the two schools. Both bands have been working this year with an extra vim and incen- i've to excel and prove themselves deseving of the trip.
 In the states, lands, choruses and ether musical groups are pro yided varied opportunities to travel and compete with other organiza- tlons through football trips, music clinics, festivals, and contests.
 It is felt that the school music prcgram in Alaska has been lack ing in giving this stimulus. The concerts are beginning in the de- yelopment of school music pro- gram on par with, or superior to, that found in the states.

DOUGLAS
 NEWS
NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM

NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM
 At a special meeting of the Doug
 last City Council last evening, rep resentatives of the Juneau-Douglas
 Telephone O., proposed a new tele-
 phone system for Douglas with a
 new schedule of telephone rates
 The meeting of the City Council and the utility company was caused by the increasing number of com- plaints of the service, particularly
 between the communities of Juneau and Douglas.
 It was stated by the operators that three lines are now in use, which is their maximum, under present conditions. To get more lines connecting the cities would en- tail a considerable expense as un- derwater cable is used to span the channel. If the Juneau-Dougla's bridge could be used in stringing lines, it would be much cheaper, they said. Using the bridge has been forbidden by the Interior De- partment, on previous requests by tlle operators. They mentioned that toll charge might be necessary
 ) pay additional costs of laying
 more lines.
 Bob Hurley, secretary of the Ju- neau-Doliglas Telephone Co., pro- posed that because of the extreme iy poor condition and obsolete equipment now in service within the city proper that a completly new automatic dial telephone sys- lem be installed.
 An estimated cost of installation prepared by Morris Hansen, repre- sentative and engineer for the Stromberg- Carlson telephone equip ment company, was stated to be approximately S34,OO0, which would include all new lines, new concrete Euilding plant, and 175 dial phones with the new automatic system which would not require operators, and would put Douglas on 24- hour service instead of it's present ami. to 12 midnight.
 With yearly operating cost of S11,660 and with l75 telephones in use, they estimated the rates would nave to De as follows for monthly telephone subscribers business tele- phone, $8.50; resident, single line, s6, residence, 4-party lines, $450. All the above rates would be sub ject to the Federal .5 per cent tax in addition to the rates.
 There is only one town in Alaska using dial phones, it was stated and that is Kodiak. Other dial systems are contemplated at An chorage, Petersburg and possibly Juneau in the future. Rates in all other Alaskan cities except Juneau and Douglas are considerably high CT with business phones in Fair banks being SIP monthly plus the tax, and residential party lines $6 ulus tax. -
 Mayor Mike Pusich and Council men ordered that an ordinance be drawn similar to the one now used between Juneau and the company, with the difference in rates, which would give the company 20-year franchise in Douglas. This ordin- ance would have to be presented 10 the voters of the city at an cleo 5ion and voted on favorably before any definite action can be taken If it is favorable, the ground work could be completed this summer, with the actual telephone equip ment installed approximately 12I after a contract is signed
 A special meeing of the Council was called by the Mayor for next April 4, to act on the or dinance.
