e It -y '8’.‘ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1934, present movement would fall of its own weight as it deserved, but I now feel that we should declare UNFAIR ATTACK, LIQUOR BOARD First Division Senator De- plores it as ““Senseless and Unwarranted” Senator N. R. Walker, holdover First Division member of the Sen- ate, businessman and longtime resi- dent of Ketchikan, in a letter to Gov. John W. Troy made public today, scored the attacks originat- ing in that city on the Board of Liquor Control. He termed them “senseless and unwarranted” and attributed them to “selfish political interests.” Senator Walker is proprietor - of the Walker Drug Company of Ket- chikan. He was one of the first to take out a retail liquor license there but just recently he has transferred his license, with the Board's approval, to F. H. Durbin, and has retired from the liquor traffic. Just for Politics His letter to the Governor was made public today by the latter with Senator Walker's consent. It follows, in part: “I want to tell you how much 1 deplore the senseless, unwar- ranted and unfair tirade of abuse directed at the Liquor Board by supposedly responsible citizens of Ketchikan. “I believe no other conclusion can be drawn except that there is a deliberate attempt on the part of certain people with selfish polit- ical interests to discredit the ad- ministration by raising a false is- sue in an effort to stampede well- meaning people against the poli- cies of the Democratic regime. Is Not Approved “I want to say, however, that I do not believe that the city I have lived in for 22 years does not ap- prove of the methods used by the enemies of the Administration. The City of Ketchikan is an average Alaskan community with a whole- Hearted desire in the main to co- operate with the rest of Alaska. I believe the vast majority of its residents when properly informed will deprecate as much as I the reckless efforts to put their town in an unfavorable light. “For a while I had hoped the .For.7f"a pint make your own delicious table syrup.

T0 ARBITRATE Unions Made Offer by T.B. Wilson, Gen. Mgr., of Al- aska Line, Troy Informed (Continued Ir Tage One) mmediately resumed, and that or- sanized labor immediately elimin- ite all interference therewith, we agree to the following: “l. We agree to arbitration under Federal authority pursuant to the collective bargaining provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act, or arbitration by any other Federal agency duly authorized by the President of the United States with respect to both wages and wurs. The determination arrived at as a result of such arbitration to be retroactive to the date on which the employees return to work. “2. We further agree to abide by the decision of the National Labor Board concerning the elec- tion of representatives of our em- ployees in the port of Seattle, re- cently held under the jurisdiction of Charles A. Reynolds, Chairman of the Regional Labor Board. Commerce Is Paralyzed “As you know strike conditions n the port of Seattle have com- pletely paralyzed all commerce with Alaska which, unlike continental United States, is solely dependent apon water transportation. The sit- uation is desperate and immediate action to restore this commerce is vitally necessary. “We urge that you use the influ- ence and authority of your office to effect immediate resumption of commerce between Seattle and Al- aska pending such arbitration.” Should Remove Obstacles Mr. Wilson told Gov. Troy that the strikers’ concession covered only the sailing of the Victoria tonight and he added: “It would seem that our offer to arbitrate under the auspices of the Federal Govern- ment any controversies with labor hould remove any obstacles in the way of resumption of normal serv- ice.” The granting of the concession of the sailing of the Victoria, he | waid, “is due, I feel, to your good Jffices and the pressure you have srought to bear in this crisis.” Should Be Accepted Gov. Troy emphasized today tha‘ Alaska is not taking sides in the itrike. “We are not fighting the Jattles of either the longshoremen/ o the steamship companies,” hel declared. “What we want is to see the strike settled, or Alaska exempted from the general tieup. We cannot afford to have our seasonal indus- tries tied up at this time. If they are, we are going to have a most desperate condition to contend with next Winter.” The offer of the Alaska Steam- ship Company to submit to Federal arbitration under the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Governor said, seemed eminently fair. He felt that the Seattle unions ought to accept it and permit the company’s union employees to return to work with- out further delay. —————— EL DORADO, Kas—Charles W, Harvey is the proud possessor of an Easter egg whih has passed its fiftieth anniversary.

That’s all! And it never fails! Delicious every time! Always crystal clear! In a Drip Maker, the water drips through the coffee but one time, not many times as in a Percolator. At that one time, all the rich fragrant flavor is extracted from a coffee specially prepared to yield its flavor quickly. Any coffee prepared for the slow percolator process will not do.
