The convention of the party— after routing the right wing “old guard” in the election of a national executive committee—affirmed its belief in these principles by a two- to-one vote. This was the boldest, most mili- tant stand taken by the Socialist Party since the anti-war declara- tion of the convention in 1917 in! St. Louis.

Bradley Gives History| of Movement—Win- gard Optimistic (Continued from .age Omne) Early Approval Indicated The code presented by the larz- er group is now before the Gov- ernment. All of the facts in con- nection with its preparation were submitted and made known to the local representative of the NRA, he said. He had no actual knowledge of | when the code would be approved | and become effective, but, he add- ed, threatened strikes in some Cal- ifornia gold mines had been avert- ed when the miners were informed that the code would be effective by July 1. Praises Local Management He referred briefly to “local un- | of such properties as the Alaska Juneau stands squarely between the omployeea and the stockholders. He be fair to both. And “I zhmk you can rely on Metzgar to do that.” He also emphasized that there ;'n(- three parties interested in uestions involving the local com- pany. There are primarily the em- ‘plu,cm and the stockholders. But Hhe third party is the community and its business houses. , If the | stockholders are dissatistied with | the showings they can sell their| | stock. Dissatistied workers can quit and go elsewhere for employment. The community is here and must | abide by whate conditions the | other two factors produce. ! Recalls November Talk l Mr. Bradley recalled his talk be- fore the Chamber last November | at which time, he said, “I tried to| give you some of the ideas ex-| pressed on the outside as to the| effect and ideas of the NRA. In| some quarters this was interpreted as my own ideas. Since then you all have seen the newspapers, sc I do not have to say anything new about the NRA. His own ideas of it were given rest,” and the recent negotiations|in an interview to the local news- between the Alaska Juneau and its employees which resulted in ablan- ket raise of S0 cents per day as being satisfactory to the em- ployees. Paying a fine tribute to Gen. Superintendent L. H. Metzgar, he pointed out that the management paper a day or two later when he| said if the NRA came to Alaska, the Alaska Juneau would accept it graciously and willingly and abide ! by its provisions, but it must come in an orderly manner.

Wingard, Alaska Agent of the Bu-| reau of Fisheries, who returned| here recently from a brief trip as far west as Bristol Bay. The long- shoremen’s strike has not affected the industry as much as it was feared it would. Nineteen out of plants in Bristol Bay are ready | to operate and with the release of | the shipping the pack thers ougzht | to be normal. Cook Inlet packers with the ex- ception of two small plants which had no cans were also prepared. Fishermen from those two places will be absorbed by-the other p: ers so there will be no loss.
