Delegate Bartlett
Writes Chapman In
Defense of Seward

"A few days ago we published
the letter received from Acting
Secretary of Interior Warne, in
reply to that of Mayor Eugene
Lanier. A copy of the Mayors
letter went to Delegate Bart
lett, and following is his urgent
communication to the Secretary
on the behalf of Seward:
Hon. Oscar L. Chapman,
Secretary of the Interior,
Washington Is, D. c.
Dear Secretary Chapman:
Mayor Eugene Lanier of Sew
ard has been good enough to
send me copy of the letter he
wrote you on June II regarding
the southern section Of The AL
aska Railroad. In that letter he
called for frank statement
from the Department of the In
terror as to its plans regarding
the railroad. From my personal
contact with you and other Off
Gals within the Department
over the last several years l
realize that all of you have
given much thought and atten-
ton and, indeed, worry to the
Seward situation. l know, too,
that you can do on ly those
things for which funds have
been appropriated by the Con-
gress and it is not always simple
to secure funds even for pro
jects that are needed.
SO in expressing once again
what has become almost a con-
Stunning interest in this matter
/ do SO with no thought Of cri-
itching the Department of the
Interior but I should feel negli-
gent, indeed, after reading May
or Lanier's letter if / did not
restate here belief which /
have held for a good many years
past-that is, it would be bad
policy to take steps which might
react to the very serious eco
nomic disadvantage of one OF
the principal communities OF
Alaska, and it is not in the in
terests of Alaska or even in
these times of national interest
to abandon substantially one OF
the greatest natural ports in the
| world. l submit that in these
| trying days when we are making
every effort to fortify Alaska
there is a distinct requirement
that every last possible avenue
of ingress and egress be utilized
To abandon an existing facility
needed even now and perhaps
desperately needed in a time
of crisis would be disadvanta-
geous from the standpoint of the
nation as a whole.
l sincerely hope even yet and
preferably in cooperation with
the Department of Defense some
way may be found to rehabili-
tate the southern section of the
railroad. Whatever expenditure
of money might be required for
that purpose could be justified
without any straining of con-
science.

happy that he enjoyed.
: Howard was a man that work
ed untiring for nearly twenty
years in the ] b.or movement
helping to gain better working
conditions, shorter hours, and
better pay so that we might en-
JOY ourselves.
Mr.. Seren was a very conserv-
ative sort of man who had
great ideals and worked very
diligently to have them carried
out to the best of his ability. and
that wasn't small, for he had
great ability.
There were times when the
going was very rough, but still
Mr.. Seren never gave up. Instead
of giving up as some would have
he put that much more effort in
his up and coming project to put
it across. There are few, and !
mean very few, men that would
fight with all the strength and
power both in mind and energy
as Mr.. Seren had. I've seen
times when things looked almost
hopeless but he still carried the
ball through and wound up not
on the losing side either. Howard
was in the minority plenty OF
times but when he felt he was
right he fought it through.
With the Taft Hartley Act
putting the, crimps in the labor
movement it made things still
tougher for all labor leaders.
Then again, l think that Paul
Block, Jr. and the rest of the So
called committee of insurgents
that have been out there push
ing to bust up Local IL and the
other unions in the city of To-
ledo and its surrounding terri
tory should feel little guilty in
the death of our loved and hon
ored leader, Mr.. Howard Seren.
In my opinion ! think that it
was these things that have been
going on in the last year, in
blade script because the unions
have been striving for decent

pension plan so that our fathers
could live in comfort in their
aging years and help make more
jobs for. the up and coming mer
and women, that brought Mr.
Seren's death on so suddenly.
There were many times when
Howard would work day ano
night to counteract some of these
attacks which made things SC
difficult to obtain the pensions
in the Toledo shops. Everytime
that it looked like another shop
was going to come through with
a decent pension P. B., Jr. would
make Local IL the headlines
again to frighten us as well as
hold off the employer from COM
ing to an agreement.
These are some of the things
that Mr.. Seren, as we'll as our
representatives and Internation-
al officers, had to put up with
and still some of you people In
the shop think that these men
acting as our leaders and repre-
sentatives have no easy life.
These men have no home life
whatsoever. They are on the go
all the time, in the city and also
throughout Region 2-B. These
men are fighting to bring the
small town standards and wage
rates up to our standard to aid
us in keeping our contracts In
the shops and to enable our shop
committee, and make things
easier for them to negotiate a
better contract.
Mr.. Seren is gone, his life on
this earth is ended. He was a
man loved by everybody, even
the insurgents could not say any
thing about him. He worked
himself to death trying to make
life easier for US. Let us all re-
member Howard in our prayers,
for all souls need prayers, and
he earned them. A life very well
spent and he will be missed by
all.
