Plan Set Up for Eskimos to Handle Logging and Lumbering Jobs in Alaska

JUNEAU lR - The State De- partment of Labor and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have joined hands in a unique plan to estab- fish Eskimos in logging and lum- bering jobs in Southeast Alaska.
 State Commissioner of Labor Gil Johnson and James Hawkins, area director of the BIA, an- nounced details of the pilot proj- ect today.
 The plan, as it is being tested, has a two-fold purpose:
 l. To increase the employment of resident Alaskans, and
 2. To trim the Workmen'S com penSation rates of Panhandle log ging operators.
 Logging operators in Southeast Alaska are now paying Workmen's compensation rates of about S17 for each $100 of payroll, com pared with $6.50 in the construc- ton business" Johnson said.
 For the logging operator, work mems compensation is the second highest cost of doing business. Labor costs come first"
 Johnson said he was instructed by Gov. Egan to find a means of increasing employment of resi- dent Alaskans and cutting work mems compensation costs for log gers.
 A Joint Venture
 The joint venture of the State and the BIA, with the two agen- cies working very closely on the details, was the result.
 The first ESkimos, recruited in the Barrow area, are scheduled to take up jobs in logging operations in the Panhandle within the next few weeks.
 Before they are assigned to log ging camps which have agreed to employ them on trial basis, they will undergo a rigid BIA medical checkup and take state employment service ability and skill tests in Fairbanks.
 The Eskimos accepted for work in the Panhandle will then be given $50 each by the BIA to purchase the clothing they will need corked boots, rain gear and safety hats - and the federal agency will fly them to their des- tination.
 'Eskimos are a hard-working,

1t Could Only Happen In Alaska |.

TTFE PEOPLE OF BARROW are law abiding and M law respecting people. The stand they have taken on shooting game is not because they wish to deli berately break the law but because they want to be law abiding citizens and the matter had to be brought to the attention of the powers that be that the long overdue change can be made in the international regulations
 Withholding needed food supply from an iso- lated group of people that hunters in the other parts of the world enjoy the sport of shooting is fan tastic. No wonder the law enforcement people have for years turned their heads the other way.
 The people of Barrow have waited too long for this change well for the use of natural gas which is practically under their village, but which has been made available only to agencies of the federal govern ment.
 There are 1900 permanent residents at Barrow who frequently during the winter months see their oil supply completely exhausted yet they cannot use the gas which nature put at their back door. They must pay the higher price of imported oil.
 A restriction on food to exist, restriction on fuel to keep this the American way of life? It couldn't happen in the lower AS because the people have educated leaders to stand up and challenge such an injustice In their way the Barrow people have stood up and asked to be heard If Northern Alaska is to develop have the of it's resources
 It would be far better to finance these people to dig gas well and help them finance the purchase of equipment for mining of coal than dole welfare as is now being done. Creating industry provides honor able labor, which these people would welcome.
 The BIA seeks bigger vessel to carry more sup plies and more fuel to this northern port Where else but in Alaska would you import fuel when there IS choice of gas or coal to be had in vast quantities within walking distance?

extremely careful people," John son said. "Their carefulness can only result in lower workmen's compensation rates for their em- ployers.""
 Start as Choker- Settlers
 The Eskimos, Johnson said, will start out as choker-setters, one of the hardest jobs in the woods.
 But" the Labor Commissioner continued, with their ability to learn, I don't think it will be long before they will be moving into the better logging jobs. There is no reason why they can't fit into logging operation"
 Johnson emphasized that the goal of the plan is to increase the employment of resident Alaskans, not to replace resident AlaSkans with Eskimos.
 He said many logging operators in Southeast Alaska are forced to hire loggers who are residents of Pacific Northwest States, simply because they cannot find the men they need in Alaska.
 Some of these non-residents, Johnson said, "are wise to the workmen's compensation laws. We have a record of one such man who had been working bad back routine for Is years, with success"
 On the other hand, Johnson said, Eskimos traditionally have had excellent safety records.
 'We normally have some 1000 workmen's comp cases a year." Johnson said "Yet I can remem- Der only one Eskimo applying for benefits under the law. He was injured in a plane crash.
 'Eskimos just simply do not have compensationitis.'
 The Eskimos who are accepted for employment in the timber of the Panhandle, Johnson said, will normally have a two-month period to visit their homes each year, during the Wintertime when many southeastern camps are closed down.
 Johnson said the undertaking would not have been possible without the complete cooperation of the BIA, union officials and logging operators who have agreed to participate in the pilot project.
 "If this pilot project is suc- cessful," Hawkins said, "it is planned that the program will be extended to include Indians, Es- kimos and Aleuts from all parts of the state"

Society For Mentally
Retarded Hears Talk

Mrs. Herbert Upton, Psycholo-
gist from Pittsburgh, Pa, spoke
last Friday night at the meeting of
the Garrett County Society for
Mentally Retarded Children and
explained that the mentally re-
tarded may be grouped into these
classifications, the educable, mild
ly retarded; trainable or moder-
ately retarded, and uneducable or
severely retarded.
Mrs. Upton discussed to some
extent what can be done with each
group. She also told of the vari-
Gus kinds Of game devices which
she has, and uses to test a child
ability and capability. Mrs. Lip
ton said that all 3 groups can be
helped but we must know, who
they are, and what their needs
are. Mrs. Lois Naylor said, prog
ress was being made in the reno
walton of the four rooms of the
annex which will be used to house
the class, that will start this fall.
Although Willard l. Hawkins,
County superintendent Of Schools
has purchased some equipment
still more is needed and it was
hoped that friends and organiza-
tons of the community would
help supply them Those desiring
to help may call Mrs Naylor.

Sfufe's Probe of
CIurk's Fork Fish
Kill Continuing

The investigation of the caustic
murder of 500 fish in the Clark's
Fork River west of Missoula is con-
tinuing this week. Two top water
pollution experts are now in the
field trying to reconstruct the crime.
Water samples and insect life studies
along with other habitat features are
being scientifically recorded.
Waldorf Paper says that the caustic
waste ponds are not responsible al
though this week new valves are be-
ing installed on the control gate be-
tween the ponds. Waldorf's produc-
ton has about tripled in this plant
with the caustics now not only COM
ing from pulp processing but now
the wastes from the paper making
and preaching processes are being
dumped into the 200 acres of ponds
which are supposed to evaporate
and deposit the caustics in the soil.
Clay Brinck, state water pollution
chief, has pulled another investiga-
tor away from the Hardin oil pollu-
ton which recently swept down the
Big Horn River without warning from
to assist in the study of
the caustic poisoning in the Clarks
Fork. The city water works were
knocked out for several hours in
Hardin but no study had been COM
pleted upon the effects to water fowl
fish and other wild life.

Police Promotion
Suit Dismissed

District Court Judge Matthew
F. MCGUIRE yesterday dismissed
a suit brought by 10th precinct
1t. Israel j. Tew over a police
promotion grading system.
1t. Tew, policeman for 19
years, filed suit last February
against Police Chief Robert ".
Murray, the District Commits
sioners and the Civil Service
Commission.
In the suit, he complained
that he lost six places on the
list for promotion to captaincy
after a sliding scale formula
was introduced in the marking
OF written tests. He contended
that without the formula he
would have placed third in the
exam instead of ninth.
Assistant United States At
torney Harold D. Rhynedance,
jr., said the sliding formula is
widely used in civil service tests.
