Following ‘the vote taken at the City Hall in which a'majority of the men voted ift favor of re- turning to" work, 'the following “conditions: of em- ploymént” were sulimitted to'the Alaskd Mine Work-' ers’ Uel:imn as thé "basis’ ‘on " which work could be CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT 1. The conditions of employment will he posted on the bulletin boards but no agreement with any labor organization will be signed. 2. We will meet the employees’ representatives on grievances and complaints, 3. Each committee will be recognized as rep- resenting that number of employees they actually do represent; and their grievances or con\pilluta will be considered in accordance with the number of em- ployees they represent. 4. %gmbem of a committee must be selected by free choice of the group they represent and must be chosen by vote without coercion or intimidation. 5. No committee’ will be 'recognized as the ex- clusive vbargalfilgg agency for all the employees. 6. In the event of a discussion of matters of interest to, and ‘affecting all employees, each group will be given representation, in accordance with the size of the group. If there be more than one group represented in a general committee, each sub-com- mittee shall have a membership on the general com- mittee pro-rata to the number of men each member represents. 1. Tl\lere will be no general discrimination against employees because of their labor affiliations; nor any other unfair or unjust reasons; but the company must reserve the right to exercise suffi- cient discrimination in such matters to protect the majority. 8. The employer’s obligations are clearly under- stood and its responsibilities are established. Organi- zations of employees c¢an rightly be required to ob- serve the same ethical and moral responsibilities even though they are not specifically prescribed by statute. In this connection, if grievances of com- plaints are submitted to the Company, we shall ex- pect that a full discussion of the same will be per- mitted by all employees, and before any strike or walkeut is called' by any committee or any greup, it will be done only upon a vote of a lliqjorlgy ng all employees, and after all have heen given an oppor- tunity to express their own choice, unmolested and without coercion. VOTE ANALYZED A careful analysis of the vate on Thursday indicates that a large majority of the employees wish to return to work on the terms prevailing be- fore the strike was called. . An analysis of the votes, as it appears to us, is as follows: ‘ Votes received before 7 p..m. for “returning to work” were 461, spoiled ballots 49, votes received after polls closed for “returning to work” 52, and votes to continue strike 3. g A Ry A careful cstimate indicates that 75 men had Irft town before the voting was done, If we {ake the 461 votes cast to go to work; the 52 that were cast too late; assume that of the spoiled ballots the same percentage voted: to vetern to werk, or 48; and one-half of the;men who' were oyt of town as voting to go torwork, ori37; we have 598. Had the Union members registered their vote at the same place and at the Edme time, it is ‘a fair presumption that at least 100 'more votes in favor of going to work ‘would have been cast. Summarized: 2 Votes to retiirn {0 work s............ 461 Voted after polls closed, to return = to work (S W Percentage of - spoiled hlbh, to. return fo work 48 Onc-half of number of .1 went away - 37 Number, of Union me¢mbers who weuld undoubtedly have voted to go to work Total ...

'In view of the ormation ‘at ‘hand, it ig far to ask!N6w long this ‘mitiority shall be 4llowéd fo deptive b many fieme of their means'of livelihood, and so seriously hinder, handicap and jeopardize the very existence of much of the business of the community. e We are ready and wfiliug to resume operations. It is indicated that a large majority of the employees are willing to work on the terms prevail- ing before the strike was called. ; » We recognize our respopsibilities to the com- munity and to our employees, l‘d have done every- hing we can to prevent hardship and distress to he community, but, we ca | resume operations until it can be done on a basis that is fair to all .employees, to the community, and to the sharehold- ers alike.
