to give them the facts. And il
we pass this dues increase here
and we 60 back home and ex-
plain the need, the membership
will accept it just as they accept
ed it in 1916.
But the politicians in the 1916
Convention said, ooh, wait un-
til we get you at home. Oh, we
are going to cut you off at the
knees and make mincemeat out
of you" But what happened?
We stood up like bunch of
men down there and we increas-
ed the dues because we had to
have it. And when we got back
home t h ere e was no problem.
There were no revolutions, be-
cause the rank and file today
know that you can't do the job
that must be done unless we
have the tools to work with.

other officers of this Union are

cause / was doing what was in
my heart.
So, the answer is not to kick
a few people around you call
pork choppers. The answer is to
ask yourself the question, can
we make this Union stronger?
Can we do better job for the
rank and file? Can we figh t
their battles more effectively in
Washington, at the bargaining
table, and every other section
where we must wage this fight
to win these noble things we
talk about? Ask yourself the
simple, honest question, can we
do those things better if we have
better tools? And the answer is
yes, and everybody in their own
hearts knows it is yes.
! say if the answer to that
question is yes, then we have no
choice but to take the step i'm
this Convention to do that job.

nice contracts but no jobs if we
don't get the tools to work with.
And let's quit hiding behind
the rank and file for an excuse.
Let's be men in this Convention
and step up to our responsible
ties.

TO Flint. i didn't have a referen-
dunn of the membership to see

a union. And when / went over

You sit down and you look at
the facts and you analyze those

And nobody in this Conven-
ton can deny the simple fact
that worker cannot live in

neither can this Union. Nobody
disputes that. But they give all

House policeman during an at

Truman little more than year

Still trim, alert and friendly
with his guards. 37-year-old Os-
car Collazo kills time by reading
books on travel, history and fic-

those under sentence Of death.
He was to have been executed
October 26, following his first
degree murder conviction in Dis

date was postponed last summer
until February pending an ap-
peal.
Also Visited by Wife.
Between periods Of reading, ex-

day-dreaming. Collazo receives
visits every few weeks from his
wife. Rosa, and daughter in her
late teens, who come down from
their home in New York.
The task of exhausting all Col
lazo'S legal remedies rests with his
court-appointed attorney, Leo A.
Rover. Mr.. Rover will argue be-
fore the Court Of Appeals that the
late Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
erred by not instructing the jury
to consider Collazo'S version of
what he had in mind when he
went to the Blair House on the
afternoon of November /, 1850.
Collazo told the jury that
neither he nor his fellow conspira-
tor, Griselio Torresola, intended to-
kill the President when they
armed themselves and opened fire
on the guards while Mr.. Truman
was inside the mansion.

He declared he and the other

Collazo was wounded slightly in

Leslie Coffelt, 40. A fatal bullet
was fired into Torresola's head
while the policeman lay dying be-

The
 C4adGe RoeRe4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick

Today's news is filled with labor disturbances. The import ant copper industry throughout the country, sugar and pineapple industries in Hawaii, longshore men and warehousemen in Ha- waii, waterfront unions in juris dictional dispute in California and longshoremen in Seward.
 Communism and subversive activity seems to be definitely implied in most cases, although the Seward union has not been openly accused.
 This is a family town, most of the longshoremen own their own homes and have lived here for years, raising their children to- gether in a small community, friends among friends.
 We hesitate to think that our friends and acquaintances could possibly allow themselves to be led astray in their thinking by any individual or m inorit y group They are not ignorant nor illiterate men, for the most part they know what the score is. Surely then, they could see through any insidious nagging, or persistent quiet urging which is the line of attack used by Communism.
 Because of the fact that these are our friends, we must con tinue to believe that they do have just complaint, and that they will submit to the 2rbitra- tion of that complaint, and be willing to give an inch here to gain one there.
Seward seaport record., 1951-08-29
No two parties ever leave

No two parties ever leave mediation conference entirely satisfied. Someone has to lose something. If our longshoremen can achieve success with their major requirement, can they af- ford to relinquish some of the minor arguments? That seems entirely reasonable.
 The fierce pride of Alaskans for Alaska will prompt most of the Territory to stand behind the just and reasonable complaints of the union, but 1t is to be sin cerely hoped that Seward men will not allow themselves to be linked in the public mind with the definitely Communistic ele- ment in control of the other unions in the news today.

When she called to the "dog" it turned out to be a bear. The berry picker had a .22 with her and took a shot at the animal which ran away into the bushes. A search of the neighborhood later produced the bear which had died from the .22 caliber bullets.
 The Editor takes the liberty to warn toWnspeople that shoot ing at bears within the city limits might endanger the lives of children or others and that young boys armed with small caliber guns should be cautioned by parents against discharging a firearm within the city limits.
