York City publishers have
openly Joined forces against the
Guild" and are refusing to bar
gain on the unions contract pro-
posalS.

ordinate publisher organiza-
tions."
Contracts with the city's seven
major dailies, covering editorial,
advertising and commercial en-
Iployes, expire October 81.
The boards resolution con-
Idemned the New York publishers

and arrogantly refusing to bar
gain on the contract proposals
submitted in all good faith by
the Guild.
In New York, William Mapel,
president Of the Publishers Asso-
citation of New York City, said in
IA statement that negotiations
with the Newspaper Guild are
being conducted currently in New
York City by the individual
newspapers involved.
Negotiations, he said, are not
being conducted through the
Publishers Association of New
York City, the New York State
Publishers Association, the
ANPA. or any other agency"
For Is years" Mr.. Mapel said,
Sin scores of union contract ne
gotiations, l have represented the
newspapers against whom these
accusations are made.
over all those years our pub
fishers have bargained in good
faith. i tell you they are doing
so now"

WORK from Maine TO Texas, from
Puget Sound to the Florida
Keys. Our people are right now
lighting the election battle in
thousands Of communities. Every
advance they make anywhere
helps toward victory everywhere.
Victory is in a sense a conta-
gious thing. In any sort of bat
tie, it leaps from platoon to pla-
toon, from flank to center, until
the whole front is alight with the
determination to win.
| Don't let our people down, by
writing of as hopeless any con-
test. by conceding any area. This
is the road to stalemate or to
defeat.
Tactics Discussed
Now, on tactics. The most
important answers that a MEM
Der of a political party can search
for is the answer to these ques-
tons: How can reach the
last man, the last woman living
in my block. my apartment house,
my village or township? How
can I reach him and her and
convince them" If you can get
to them with the conviction, with
the belief, with the fervor, with
the leadership you have exhibited
by getting where you are today in
your organization, you can win
any election in the country. You
can go down and reach that half
of the people who do not vote
and get them to believe in the
things that you believe in your
own heart.
You can reach them all II as
a party everybody from the Ma
itional Chairman on down the
line pledges himself to get a
new recruit between now and
November-a youngster if pos
sible-and make him a member,
or at least an associate, a friend
of the party. Carry that idea far
enough, looking on each party
member as vote-seeker as well
as voter, and you will elect a
President and Vice President, a
Congress, a majority of the Gov
errors and officials in all the
counties of the country.

"Pessimism Never Won a Battle"
Now, IN conclusion. You know
the problems of the times, do
nestle and foreign. You have
discussed them. The National
Committee and your various ma
itional headquarters will continue
to give you literature that
analyzes and shows what the adj
ministration is doing, working
with Congress, to solve these
problems.
The information you get is
ammunition for your guns in the
campaign-a campaign that will
demonstrate the r epub | ic a n
Party is working for all the peo-
pie; the Republican Party is of
the people; the Republican
Party gets things done by the
people.
! With all the other ammuni-
ton you have. you can go to the
voters with a grin on your face.
Don't underestimate the VALUE
of grin. Pessimism never won
a battle.

Alaska Guard
Units Get Spring
Trip to States

A springtime trip to the States
is now definitely scheduled for
the infantry battalions of the AL
aska National Guard.
The annual two weeks of field
training for the infantry units is
planned for Fort Lewis near Ia
coma, Wash, from April thru
April IS, 1856. In the past few
years most Alaska Guard field en-
campments have been held in the
vicinity of Anchorage.
This will be the first time that
an annual field training for the
Guard will be held outside the
territory. 1t promises to afford an
opportunity for many young Alas
kans to get their first view of the
States while taking their two
weeks of field training which sup
plements their 48 armory drills of
the National Guard training year.
The movement g to Fort Lewis
from points in central and south
east Alaska will be by air from
collecting points extending from
Ketchikan to Fairbanks.
The giant air movement of the
guardSmen from what is consid-
cred an overseas" theater will be
unique in National Guard history.
The operation will involve about
600 officers and men and some
equipment of Headquarters, Alas
ka National Guard and the 207th
and 208th Infantry Battalions.
