THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1937. ALASKA JUNEAU | O 5.000 saite Teip CHANNEL BAL MEN ASKED TO KEEP HARMONY Organizer Condemns New Organization as “Com- pany Union Peace and harmony can only be obtained by the co-operation of laboring men, W. A. Rasmusson Alaska organizer for the Interna- tional Union of Mines, Metal and Smelter Workers, told a mass meet- ing of Alaska Juneau mine workers last night at the Union Temple, Only in this way can the “welfare of the working men be upheld,” Ras- musson said He termed the organization of the Federal Labor Union No. 21.- 001, which recently obtained a char- ter from the American Federation of Labor, a “company union, or- ganized by former members of the strike-breaking union in 1935." He hold the approximately 70 men who attended the session that was a “move to split labor.” Current Dispute { The current dispute displays the inomalous spectacle of union or- ganizations representing the AFL and CIO groups in the Central La- bor Council massing against a group granted a charter by the AFL The Central Labor Council, which passed a resolution this week con- lemning the Federal Labor Char- ter 21,001, is composed of delegates frem AFL and CIO unions, Ras- musson said foday. For instance, he pointed out, the Tnternational Union of Mine, Mill nd Smelter Workers, the IL.L.A., the old storage workers and several ther groups are members of inter- national organizations which have been suspended from the American Federation of Labor ranks and which are affiliates of the CIO. On the other hand, he said, the Car- penters, Plumbers, Painters, Bar- tenders and several other craft un- jons are operating in cooperation with the AFL. Both of these groups are welded together under a Central Labor Council charter granted by the Am- crican Federation of Labor, despite the fact that some are affiliates of the CIO, Rasmusson said. Harmony is Plea According to Rasmusson, it mat- ters little to the Central Labor Council what international organi- zation the workers are affiliated with “as long as they work in har- mony_ for the best interests of la- bor. We don’t want a split in the Central Labor Council here.” Under the present situation, Ras- rrusson said, the Federal Labor charter No. 21,001 is in conflict with the similar charter 20,904, which in- cludes all common workers in this area. On the other hand it con- flicts, Rasmusson said, with the jur- STUDIO COUCHES A studio couch in adds comfort and conven- Come in and let us show you, our new shipment of modernly designed studio OTHER .
