The City gov- ernment means the people of Juneau, primarily its taxpayers. Juneau is growing by leaps and bound It has taken most of us about a year to realize it We have become definitely impressed with the fact by the vast amount of new building in the city this summer. Few can deny now that Juneau is goin ahead The point is, are we going to keep up with that natural grcwth? Are we going to see to it that nec- essarv public improvements are made to foster and terve private enterprise? That is what the Chamber means when it says, “the City Government has a definite obligation to take care of the city’s growing needs.” The taxpayers of Juneau can hi afford not to keep abreast of private initiative natural growth of the munity The other point the taxpaying voter should not overlook is that when all the bond issues are approved next Tuesday the city’s total bonded debt will be only $337,900, a little more than half of the ten percent of its assessed valuation agdinst which it can legally issue bonds The saving in maintenance take care of the inter on the bonds and the amount of new property which will be added to the payroll will go a long ways toward retiring the bonds Where can you find a better business proposition in view of ln\ fact that the Federal Government paying 45 pércent of ?

The exceptions may be LeRoy Sullivan, Republican of Nome, formerly associated with Judge James Wickersham here in law practice, and Sam Taggart, Second Division G.O.P. House candidate. Sullivan has a slight lead over George Laiblin, who represented the last Legisla until other precinets Second Division in the House here in ure, and the outcome will be in dn\lbl. the of Second have reported. | Taggart is in a tie with W ce Port Democrat, for third place on the House ticket | With these exceptions it appears to be a clear Democratic sweep and the lineup for the various Divisions probably will look about like this t Division In the Senate—Norman R. Walker of Ketchikan, Democratic holdover, Henry Roden of Juneau who apparently has definitely defeated Howard D. Stabler of Juneau, his Republican opponent In the House—J. P. Anderson and James V. Davis of Juneau, who have won re-election; John McCor- mick of Juneau, who led the legislative ticket, and A. P. Walker of Craig, who is apparently being re- turned to the Legislature after having been absent in the Jast session. He served previously in 1935. All are Democrats. and Second Division In the Senate—O. D. Cochran of Nome, Demo- cratic holdover, with LeRoy Sullivan, Republi- can, or George Laiblin, Democrat. As previously stated, Sullivan is now in the lead. In the House—Howard Lyng and Garnet Martin, Democrats, apparently are sure of returning. They served In the 1935 session. Race for the other two House seats is between Taggart, Republican, Porter, Democrat, and W. J. Dowd, Democrat. Third Division In the Senate—James H. Patterson of Valdez|he read the sign, “Ye Olde Gifte Shoppe.” y THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, SEPT. 16, 1938.

In the House—Edward Coffey and H. H. McCut- cheon have been re-elected and Karl Drager and Harvey J. Smith will be serving with them. All are Democrats Fourth Division In the Senate—Victor C. Rivers of Fairbanks, Democratic holdover, and C. H. La Boyteaux, pictur- esque mining man and Democrat, who has defeated L. J.

Spencer ing don, Jesse The Way To End Our Labor Troubles Philadelphia Record) the most quarrelsome period of a trade's existence is when it is just emerging from the patriarchal condition in which each employer governs his establishment and deals with his own men with no outside interfer- ence not yet fully entered into that other co on in which transactions take place hetween strong associations fully rec- ognizing each othe; We hope that every business man and every worker will find time to read the report made to the President by the Swope committee on labor rela- tions in Great Bri n. Itis the most comprehensive, dispassionate d clear exposition of the subject that we have seen and its publication may mark the beginning of a new era in American labor relations For the busy man we cull the quotation which appears at ihe start of this editorial. The words are quoted by the Swope committee from the report made by a Royal Commission on Lahor in 1894. These words epitomize Britain's experience and the lesson to be drawn from it by our own country Th Royal Commission found, and the Swope committee implies agreement with those findings, that peaceable relations are the result of strong and firmly established trade unionism, a that trade unionism in a weak and struggling condition rather tends to increase the number and bitterness of in- dustrial conflicts.” In England, the Swope For the most part the accompanied, at least committee covered conduct of strikés has been since collective bargaining by relatively little violence became generally accepted or provocation The moial is clear. Once the right of collective ining is clearly established, strikes grow fewer nd less violent This report is all the more impressive because of its w who s of the as radicals animity, the high repute of the business men rved on the committee and the fact that none members might even remotely be described Let us have a look at that committee Gerard Swope is president of General Electric Henry I. Harriman is a former president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Charles R. Hook is president of the American Rolling Mills Company. Lloyd K. Garrison is dean of the Univer- of Wisconsin Law School. Marion Dickerman principal of the Todhunter School for Girls. Mrs Anna M. Rosenberg is regional director of Social Security for New York. William H. Davis, a New York attoraey, is a former deputy NRA administrator. William Elhson Chalmers is assistant United States Labor Commissioner at Geneva and Robert Watt is a respected official of the American Federation of Labor, They return with a report that dispels the fallacies spread about the British Trade Union Disputes Act of 1927 and that clearly points to the organization of both worki and employers in trade unions—the term in Britain, significantly, is applied to both em- ployer and employee associations for collective bar- gaining. So far only one American industry, railroading, is organized along these lines. The lue of that pro- cedure is evidenced by the calm which surrounds the present wage controversy on the railroads, a contro- versy thal in any other industry would give rise to! panicky feelings, Britain's experience shows that what we need is more laws, but more common sense, a greater willingness to see the other side's point of view, and the stability that comes from firm organization on both sides. England is not plagued by labor spies. union gangsterism, violent methods, and the ill-feeling that is certain to arise when bargaining must be carried on between individual employers and their own employees, instead of by great national unions of both mp)LxI and labor, not How to Fight Communism (Cleveland Plain Dealer) It is one of the ironies of American education that while Columbia University, and particularly its Teachers College, is.frequently under attack as being ultra-radical, if not Communistic, at its head is Nicholas Murray Butler, who may fairly be rated one | of the most distinguished of the nation’s conserva- | tives. p As intelligent Americans realize, most of the at- tack upon Teachers College is utterly unfair and ! predicated upon ignorance and prejudice. But since the name of Teachers College seems unfortunately to connote Red in the minds of some persons, it is timely to hear what its head, Dean William F. ell, has to say about the best method of right-’ ing Communism. The dean was a speaker at the recent convention of the New York Department of the American Legion. He faced an audience which, in majority, was probably hostile—if not to him at least to the Teachers College label with which it tagged him. But | the dean apparently made a ten-strike. Dr. Russell is himself a war veteran. He was in Vladivostok in 1918. As he expresses it: “When I talk about Communism I know what I am saying. I have had a lot of experience with this menace. I| know where it is most likely to appear . and T} | think I know the best way to fight it.” is not by Red oaths and the firing professors never stopped That “best way,” says Dean Russell, scares and purges. Teachers' of liberal and outspoken Communism and never will. How shall we beat Com- | munism? Here is the Russell prescription: | Relieve poverty and distress. Stand up for the rights of meeting and assembly and freedom of speech, | particularly when you do not agree. Support the | schools and foster in every way the study of history, government and social life.” Here is no new doctrine. But its truth stems to the roots of democracy. It cannot be too often stated. | And particularly timely in these days of propaganda | |and counter-propaganda, when Communism is so| cften used as a handy red herring to cover devig trails, is this warning of Dean Russell: “You cannot fight an idea by banishing it cannot kill an idea shooting it.” You | Police, busy testing automobile brakes. h around to examining drivers’ heads, should com#, in the course of time.
