LAB0RER5 AND
TRANSFERS OUT
IN LOCAL STRIKES

Two labor disputes are darkening
the construction picture in the Jul
neau area.
The Construction and General
Laborers, Local 1903 (AFL), have
placed members of the Juneau
Contractors and Employers Asso-
citation on the unfair list after a
wage dispute.
The laborers are asking for 81
per hour, wage which T. B.
Erickson, executive secretary of the
Alaska Federation of Labor says
will put Juneau laborers on a rate
equal to that of laborers in Ketch-
kan and on the Mendenhall Apart
ment project here.
Independent contractors and the
apartment project are not effected
by the strike.
About 20 jobs have been stopped
by the dispute, Erickson said.
Meanwhile, the strike picture
was further clouded by the walk
out on Monday of the Transfers
union, Local 10 (AFL), against six
Juneau construction firms.
Steve Feist, union business agent,
said the strike was called ito stop
the practice of employing truck
drivers as laborers at laborers'
wages while they are on the job
as drivers"
Another cause of the strike, Feist
said, is the lack of a signed work.
ing agreement between the con-
tractors and the union. The con-
tracts have been under arbitration
for two months, he said, and no
agreement has yet been made.
All of the contractors affected
by the strike are now paying the
basic union wage of $2.l3, Feist
said, except one contractor who is
paying $1.80. The wage scale OF
$2.13 was set by the union and
agreed upon by the contractor
members of the Associated General
Contractors.
The Teamster strike affects some
independent contractors and some
members of the Juneau Contractors
and Employers Association. Feist
declined to name the, contractors
affected, but he said the Menden-
hall apartment job is not under
strike.
About IL drivers are off their
jobs as result of the walkout.
Feist said he is to meet with
the contractors tonight, and that
he is optimistic of an early settle
ment of the dispute.

VOICE VOTE KILLS
PLAN OF PLACING
RFC IN COMMERCE

WASHINGTON, July 6 - R -
The Senate today killed President
Truman's plan to place the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation in
the Commerce Department under
the supervision of Secretary Sawyer.
The chamber did so by adopting,
on a voice vote, a resolution to dis
approve the plan just two days be-
fore it was slated to become effec-
tive.
Senate disapproval of the change
means the RFC, multi billion dol
lar lending corporation, will con-
tinue to operate independently OF
other government agencies. RFC OPP
erations are handled by five-man
board of directors.

Senator Morse (R-Ore), a men,
Der of the group, said it should be
ascertained why we find ourselves
in Korea without adequate equip
ment and supplies" Senator Know

successful conduct of the fighting.
At a morning news conference,
President Truman said he stands
firmerly behind his nomination of
Sumner T. Pike to another term on
the Atomic Energy Commission
and of Martin Hutchinson, Rich
mond. Va, lawyer, to a place on
the Federal Trade Commission.
Both have been reported adversely
by Senate committees.
In connection with the Hutchin-
son nomination, Mr.. Truman said
that the chairman of the Senate
Commerce Committee, which re-
ported unfavorably on the appoint

own party. He was talking about
Senator Edwin C. johnson (D-Colo>.

THREAT BY
TRUMAN IN
RI STRIKE
May Take Action Unless
Switthmen Abandon
WaIkout

WASHINGTON, July R -
President Truman threatened today
to take drastic action unless switch
men abandon their strike on five
major railroads.
He called 1t an unjustified strike
and blamed it upon small minor
ity of, the switchmen.
He said the switchmen declined
to abide by the recommendation
of very able Presidential fact
finding board.
Mr.. Truman told his news con-
ference he hopes drastic action
will not be necessary to force the
strikers back to their jobs.
He said the strike is tying up
five main line railroads at time
when the rail services is needed
especially for the movement of
cattle and wheat from the west.
And he said. he would act if it
became necessary He. declined,
however, to say what steps might
be taken.
About 1000 members of the AFL
Switchmen's Union are on strike
against the Rock Island, the Chic
ago Great Western, the Denver and
Rio Grande Western, the Western
Pacific and the Great Northern
Railroads. They are demanding
4O-hour week with 48 hours pay.
A Presidential board proposed in
stead, giving them the 40-hour
week, with an 10 cent an hour pay
increase.

CHAMBER TALKS
ABOUT SKATING
AT NOON MEETING

The Chamber Of Commerce
talked about ice-skating today.
At its noon meeting in the God
Room of the Baranof Hotel, the
subject was brought up in the
course of the project suggestion
forum"
Trevor Davis proposed that a
dam could be built to raise the level
of Mendenhall Lake, flooding it
and providing clear skating sur
face.
The problem of winter sports ia
cilities has taken on new import
ance for the Chamber since group
of transportation companies wrote
inquiring what facilities are avail
able. They indicated that winter
tours to Alaska are being planned.
Il suggest that wooden dam
with flood gates could be built in
extensively, Davis said. Normally
snowfall ruins skating. With a dam
to control the level of the water
the lake could be flooded and skat-
ers could have new ice after q
snowfall"
Kenneth Kadow said Mendenhall
Lake is too far away to be generally
useful as an ice-skating rink. He
suggested that an inexpensive
rink could be constructed at the
ball park.
The ice-skating problem was
turned over to the Civic Affairs
Committee for study and action.
Allen Shattuck suggested the road
between the airport and AUX Bay
be paved.
He was answered Immediately by
Chris Wyller, Bureau of Public
Roads district engineer, who said
that the paving job is the next
project for the bureau.
However, he could not give a
definite date for the start of the
job, he said.
Peter Werner suggested that the
tennis courts in Evergreen Bowl be
provided with backstops.
r. E. Robertson said he believed
a road should be constructed from
Seward Street to Evergreen Bowl
to provide a place for school
children to play during recess.
The two suggestions were also
shunted to the Civic Affairs Com
mittee for study.

rapher who accompanied the Cham

A(TI0N ON
STATEHOOD

WASHINGTON, July 6 R -
Senator Gordon (R-OreD said to-
day he will formally ask Senate
consideration of the Hawaii and
Alaska statehood bills.
Reports from the Orient en-
phasize the need for early con-
sideration of the statehood bills"
ne said in a statement.
Senator Lucas D-IllD Senate
majority leader has said that Sen
ate action on the statehood bills
depends upon how long Congress
remains in session.
The House-passed bills have been
approved by the Senate Insular
Affairs Committee.
Gordon, committee member,
voted in committee for the Hawaii
bill and against Alaska statehood.
while I appreciate the desire
of the present Senate leadership
for early adjournment, this being
election year, I also realize that
the situation in Korea may die
tate a longer session of Congress
than has been contemplated" Cor
don said.
Certainly il it be found in the
National interest to continue the
session there then can be no rea-
son why the statehood bills should
not have consideration"
Gordon did not say when he will
make his bid for Senate action
The Senate program tentatively
calls for consideration of the APP
preparations bill next week, fol
lowed by the tax bill.

WASHINGTON Considering
the fact that they are members of
opposite political parties and once
rival candidates for the Presidency,
General Macarthur and President
Truman have coordinated on the
Korean crisis exceptionally well.
In fact, they get along better
than some of MacArthur's fellow
generals in the Pentagon Building,
whom Doug" sometimes treats
with highhanded disdain.
Two historic telecommunication
conversations were held between
Macarthur and the White House
in the first stages of the Korean
war. The first was the night be-
fore Truman issued his world
shaking announcement that Amer
lean forces would intervene. The
second was four days later when
Macarthur gave an extremely
gloomy picture of the Korean mil
itary rout and asked for permission
to land ground troops. When Mac
Arthur made this proposal, Pent-
agon officials teletyped back the
suggestion that he make a formal
request. Macarthur replied crisply:
Consider it made" Permission
was Immediately granted.
Macarthur talked on the telecom
in somewhat the same stilted Ian
guage he uses in his now famous
communicates. He did not speak
disparagingly of the South Koreans
but used such phrases as "the
Koreans in their efforts to resist
Communism" must be helped.
Secretary of the Army Frank
Pace stayed in the communications
room in the Pentagon Building
