PRESSURE OF PUBLIC OPINION Pressure of public opinion is making itself felt in the maritime strike as it always does in such situa- tlons. The first concrete evidence of an early settle- ment came yesterday when the employers and em- ployees finally got together in one conference room after hurling bitter names at one another since the walkout was called on October 30. True, the meeting broke up after a short session with both sides denying concessions, but even if no settlement was reached at the preliminary gathering it is a good sign that the opposing factions are starting to feel the heat of the dissatisfied public and they know that shortly they will have to get together. . The first meeting was much like two conference committees at a legislative or Congressional session Both sides reiterate what they will and what they will'not do. They charge, allege and carry on to great extent, mostly revealing broad streak of stubbornness and apparently getting nowhere. But the ice is always broken at those initial meetings The next step is to play dead until the howls from the public: prods them together again and after Iot of wasted time they invariably get together. Doubtless, a similar condition prevails in the pres- ent dispute. The shipowners well know that if they do not operate their ships eventually somebody else will operaté ships and the employees know that if they don’t go back to their jobs somebody else will go back to those jobs. It is the well known stall, thinking that their position is the soundest. strongest position is that of the public which demands, and must and will be served It willibe .unfortunate for both sides if they fail to agree in reasonable time and it becomes necessary for the government ‘to step in and operate steamships It won't be the first time the government has handled transportation in this country as those recalling the war days will remember, Sl a a In the meantime. here in Juneau and throughout Alaska the holidays are coming upon us. Survey re- veals that our merchants are in most instances in | position to supply Christmas needs. Most handling Christmas things have at least a limited supply of the knick-knacks that make the yuletide | what it is.. One or two have almost a complete Christmas stock. Going along in a normal course while adding sure of public opinion on the Outside by supporting our public officials in their efforts to protect Alaska still continues to be the sensible and intelligent thing to do. Incidentally, it would not be too early to start looking over, those Christmas stocks that may be found here in Juneau.
