News-Miner Publisher Makes Strong Case for Alaska Statehood to Congress

WASHINGTON R-A Fairbanks newspaper publisher asked Con- gress yesterday to give Alaskans 1ta fighting chance to prove their worth and our ability to develop our great territory as state in a sound economic climate which we must depend on you to provide"
 The request came from c. w. Snedden, publisher of the Daily News Miner. In his prepared statement, Snedden told the com mittee statehood is absolutely essential to the welfare of Alaska and the nation.
 He assai1ed the territorial form of government as "un-American, un-democratic, stifling to free en- terprise and damaging to the nor ale of the people who are being administered"
 Alaska's vast wealth, he said, twill never enrich America to it's full potential so long as the Unit ed States hampers private enter prise, discourages good citizen ship, and treats ambitious pio- neering people as powerless wards of the federal government"
 Speaking as a businessman, Snedden described to the commit tee the various hamdicaps faced by Alaskans under existing situa- fiOns.
 Among these, said Snedden, are higher shipping rates, financing charges and interest rates on com immunity bond issues, and the need flor maintaining operating capital of from two to six times that re- :quired by stateside businessman because of the Hong and slow lines of supply.
 His own supply of newsprint, Snedden said, must-because of laws requiring use of US. vessels be shipped from the Powell River in B.C. down to Seattle, re- loaded on a US. vessel, and then moved back past B.C. to Alaska.
 'eI have received estimates from rating experts, who I believe to be reliatble," he said, ito the effect that this little roundtrip sea voyage -. adds approximate ly $17.70 per ton to the freight

Pan Am Adopts New Schedule

On April 1, Pan American will adopt a new schedule for the Nome service. It will be quite similar to the one operated last year.
 This new schedule provides for am increase in the frequency from one to two flights per week-on Tuesday and Saturday.
 The flight between Seattle and Fairbanks will be operated with Strato-Clipper equipment, and the travel time on that sector is only six hours of extremely comfort able flying. Excellent connections both north and south are provided at Fairbanks. Because of the air. port conditions, the DC-4 equip ment will be used between Fair banks and Nome.

 This is the case, he said, altho Canadian ships maintain regular weekly schedules between West over, B.C., near Powell River, and southeast Alaska ports"

Beck Is not just labor leader.
He is a tycoon whose business is
labor. AS he himself has put it:
IT run the union just like a BUSH

He uses the union movement
to make business opportunities
for himself. If. in the process. he
does good job of getting wage
boosts for his members, he is in
the position Of a lawyer doing
the best he can for his client,
rather than a man who truly
identifies with the working class.
Apathy in All Unions
The virus of rank-and file
apathy has penetrated all unions,
What makes the Beck situation
distinctive is that in his union,
the process has probably gone
much further than in any other.
Thus, while there may be more
Becks. the Teamsters boss is still
not typical.

which have been badly hit by
strikes and splits, and which are
often hard-pressed for finances,
as for instance during the long
Westinghouse strike a year and
a half ago.
Not all Of labor Is wallowing
in money. nor are all union lead
ers living in the plush circum-
stances of a Dave Beck. Mr..

large union, earns only $4,000 a
year and is severely circum-

Ralph Helstein of the 100000

receives $11,250 for his labors
and is similarly limited in ex-
pense money. Paul Phillips of
the Papermakers Union was
earning $4,000 until a few weeks
ago when his union merged with
another and boosted the ante.
A few years ago Prof. Philip

Good times have made Joe
Worker lackadaisical. A large
union that has a 5 per cent at
tendance at union meetings is
doing quite well these days. Us
ually it runs around l or 2 per
cent.
So long as the member gets his
raise each year he has become
relatively content to let his union
officials run the show. In turn
some officials, like Beck. begin to
treat the union as private poach-
ing grounds.
Becoming a Dave Beck is not

It sound.
How Union Expanded
Back in 1888 the Transfers
Union had only 10000 members.
The following year. however, a
Trotskyist named Farrell Dobbs
conceived the strategy which
made the Transfers what they
are today. He organized the
over the-road drivers nationally.
tanning out from Minneapolis,
and used this economic power
to rebuild the union. Any COM
pany which was recalcitrant
faced the prospect Of having its
long distance hauling cut off
Dobbs was militant and a
radical, but there is no question
that his unions were free of cor
ruption. Had he remained in
the teamsters he probably would
be in Beck's place today, and
Beck would be only a minor
figure.
But in l941. after the Smith
Act was passed the Government
prosecuted Dobbs and II Of
his associates. Beck, of Seattle.
and Jimmy Hoffa, of Detroit.
were called in by Daniel j.
Tobin. the ther-president of the
Transfers. to take over Dobbs'
organizations in Minneapolis.
From that point on Beck's star
