CANADIANS STRIVE FOR OPENING HAYNES CUTOFF ALL YEAR

A comprehensive report on the l60-mile Haines Cutoff road and it's potentialities if kept open throughout the year, is now in the hands of two members of the Ca nadian Parliament. ready for pre- sentation at Ottawa this year.
 The report was prepared by Ralph Browne. assistant manager of the Alaska Development Board, and de- livered to Aubrey Simmons of Whitehorse and E. T. Applewhaite of Prince Rupert. Both men will drive for funds to be granted so the road may be kept open all year.
 In l947, when the cutoff was first opened to traffic, more than 1000 persons travelled the route. Last year this number had scared to more than 6000. And this increase was in spite of the fact the road did not open until June g, Browne pointed out.
 Residents of the Yukon and Of Southeast Alaska are particularly interested in seeing the route main tained during winter months be- cause it is the only route over which a two-way haul is practicable. Ore concentrates coming south from Dawson over the new highway from Tok Junction to Jack Wade could be loaded aboard ships at Haines, and supplies go north over the same route.
 Four Transfers
 At present, ores are mined very little during Dawson's winter, and during summer months it must be sacked, loaded aboard river boats, transferred to the train at White horse, transferred again to a ship, then transferred at the Prince Ru- pert railhead of the Canadian Ma tional Railway.
 The highways use would cut out one of these transfers, plus the saving of time by use of semi trailers which could be loaded direct from a truck to a ship docked at Haines and then loaded upon flat cars at Prince Rupert, saving long shore costs and demurrage charges, plus the expensive train haul.
 The Canadian government hopes to open the road sooner this year, as they left a grader and other equipment at the top of Chilkat Pass, to enable an early start.
 No estimates have been made as to costs of maintaining the cutoff all year, but successes already ob- tained in the Richardson Highway point that it would not be over burdensome.
 Winter operation would also en- able mining at Dawson to continue on a larger basis.
 The Road Commission will have the Jack Wade connection com pleted this summer or fall, it is be- lieved. Work on a bridge at Chicken has been going on all winter. Jack Wade, few miles inside Alaska from the Yukon border, has long been connected with Dawson by road, some 80 miles distant.

Miner Says Lack of Secret Vote
Bars Any Opposition in UNIV

are more than 100000 United
Mine Workers in the bituminous
field. This means that the miners
lost $S0o,oO0,O00.
Denies Lewis Won Strike.
Now. of course, 100000, 900 for
100000 working men to lose may
not seem much if you say it
quickly. But most miners have
not been through Harvard or Yale
and cannot talk that fast. A loss
of $4,000 to the unprecedented
people would be severely felt, but
to the coal miner to lose $4,000
in one chunk was and Is a near
disaster.
Remember that he lost this
$4,000 without having the right
to say anything at any time re-
garding the issues at stake. If
there is anything right about that,
I'm a Chinaman.
One point has been missed by
the American people. 1t seemed
to be the general opinion that
John L. Lewis had won a strike.
This was untrue. For the first
time in his 30-year dictatorial
reign (and in that 80 years he had
always got exactly what he went
out for, since he alone was the
judge as to whether the men
would go out and the sole judge
of whether they would go to work
or not) he was defeated.
Many miners began to believe
that John L. Lewis was bigger
and stronger than the Govern
ment of the United States; but
in 1850 Lewis was Soundly de-
feated, not by the operators or
by the American people-Lewis
bowed to a court which eliminated
the main contention on which the
strike was called.
Based on Taft-Hartley Act.
The willing and able" clause
was thrown out by a United States
court. Lewis meekly gave in to
the court ruling that the willing
and able" clause must be left
out of negotiations.
It was the unfair labor prac-
tices section of the ft-Hartley
Act which empowered a United
States court to rate the willing
and able" clause as unfair and
not a point of negotiation.
In conclusion I want to make
my position clear as a 100 per
cent pro-union man. I believe
that organized labor in principle
is one of the greatest instruments
of progress of the Goth century.
[ believe that most union leaders
want to do the square thing and
want to do it democratically.
Most of the labor groups in this
country have autonomy. My one
purpose in this series of articles
Is to help secure it for the United
Mine Workers, whose members
respect as a fine, hard working,
honest group of good Americans. |

The s1,010, 600, 900 excise tax cut
bill was cleared today for HOUSE

The measure. in addition tG

The House Rules Committee

bar any change or amendment
once the bill was open for debate
on the floor of the House.
The rule governing debate will
however, give Republicans one
chance to offer a substitute pro-
posal.
Procedures such as were ap-
proved today usually are attacked
as gag" but Chairman Dough-
ton of the Ways and Means
committee was joined on this
occasion by G. o. P. committee
members in requesting closed
rule.
Mr.. Doughton and Representa-
tive Reed. Republican, of New
York, told the rules group that
nothing but confusion would re-
suit if amendments were per-
mitted by individual House men,

Therefore, the House will open
debate on the measure tomor-
row on a take-it-o -leave-it basis.
A vote is expected Thursday,

The other question is the pro-

adopted by the American Lutheran
Church (482,816 memberS) would
pave the way toward merger.
More than 5000 Lutherans at
tended a mass meeting yesterday

anniversary of the signing Of the
Confession.
The Rev. Rudolph S. Ressmeyer,
