DEN0UN(E5
STRIKES IN
N0RTHLAND
President Truman Makes
Plain Talk Regarding
Alaska Labor Situation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 - up =
President Truman joined with Sec
rotary of Defense johnson today in
denouncing a housing construction
strike in Alaska as one that jeop-
ardizes "the security of the United
States"
Johnson emerged from a White
House talk with the President to
say that the strike of AFL Steam
filters and Plumbers on defense
housing in Alaska is "jeopardizing
the security of the United States"
And, he added. II say that after
consulting with the President OF the
United States"
Then, the President approves
your statement?" a reporter asked.
yes"
Johnson said that defense housing
projects in Fairbanks and Anchor
age primarily were affected.
He said the steamfitters and
plumbers have been out since July
26 after demanding wage raise
of $3.50 an hour in pay plus double
pay for overtime and room and
board outside the cities.
He said that the projects we're
held up recently by strike of car
penters. but that the strike was
settled.
The Federal Mediation and Con-
Citation Service said that Secretary
johnson evidently was mistaken
about the basic demands involved
in the labor controversy.
A Cancellation Service spokesman
said that the striking union is de-
handing raise from its present
$500 an hour to $3.50 an hour and
double time for overtime, instead OF
time and a half as at present. The
union also is asking for room and
board for workers on jobs outside
the cities.
johnson made his statement after
his regular Tuesday call on the
President for a conference in which
he was joined by Secretary OF the
Army Pace.
He said that the defense OF
Alaska is depending upon expanding
of the housing there and these
strikes in Alaska against defense
housing" are jeopardizing the very
security of the whole country.
Johnson carried to his White
House conference report he had
received from an investigate staff
in Anchorage.
Stephen T. Early, deputy under
secretary of defense, said Federal
Mediation Service officials are in
Alaska but have been unable so far
to halt the strike.
