Mediafion Board Plan | Develops Powers Would Be Volun- fary Rather than Com- pulsory, Suggestion WASHINGTON, March 14.—Indi- cations are that an eleven-man Defense Labor Mediation Board will be created with mediation powers voluntary rather than with compul- sory authority This developed today after a con- ference between President Roosevelt and American Federation of Labor President William Green. Earlier today President Roosevelt said that the decision establishing a mediation board might be made next week. Green told reporters that his understanding of the proposed setup was that it was to have four rep- resentatives of industry, four of labor and three of the general public. Labor membership on the board would be divided equally between &he AFL and CIO.

One week ago the Chamber went on record as unanimously favoring an appropriation for Territorial ar- mories, but the endorsement was not to be considered as endorsing any bill now before the Legislature, meaning House Bill 66. Following is the resolution killed by the Chamber today: “RESOLVED—that this Chamber of Commierce go on record as en- dorsing legislation at this session of | the Legislature to build and equip armories for the several units of our Territorial National ‘Guard which will meet the minimum requirements of the War Department and endorse such revenue mieasuré as may be necessary for that purpose.” Former Resolution The resolution passed at the last ‘week’s regular meeting of the Cham- bers reads as follows: .. . Chamber g0 on record as favoring an appro- priation by the Territorial Legisla- ture for an amount of ‘money to be used for providing the minimum essential housing facilities required by ‘the ‘Army regulations for Na- tional Guards of Alaska, but the en- dorsement of the Chamber is not to be considered as endagrsing any bill now before the Legislature.” Although the Chamber stands as endorsing the construction of ar- mories, it also stands as not endors- ing House Bill 66, and time has now passed for the introduction of .new bills in the Legislature.” President Curtis Shattuck explained that the difference in the two stands of the Chamber ‘rests in the difference in| the two resolutions and said that it was not the position of the Cham- ber to suggest to the Legislature the amount of money to be expended on any project. | Last Clause { Said he: “The addition of the last clause to the new resolution was probably the cause of its defeat. The Chamber still stands as en- dorsing minimum housing facilities for the National Guard of the Ter- ritory.” Ninety-five members attended the largest meeting' in months as the special meeting was called, and many members who were not in regular attendance sat in the meet- ing today and voted. The Execu- tive Board of the Chamber present- ed today's defeated resolution with- out recommendation because of the similarity to the resolution of a week ago. Speech Limit Killing a motion to limit speech- es ‘to” five minutes 'for'a lack of ed, started with Dr. W. W. Coun- cil's statement that “if the Terri- [cory refuses to appropriate money for - armories, the far-reaching af- fect on Congress will be devastat- ing, especially in view of the mil- lions of dollars being spent By the | Federal Government on Alaska.” H. L. Faulkner spoke 'for over a half-hour, saying that he was “pa- triotic, but could see no need of the National Guard.” He said that additional taxes, as proposed in a recently defeated taxation bill, would burden the Alaska-Juneau mine to the amount of $56,000 and would possibly result in the closing of "the mine. He added that he would rather send' $500,000 to line of defense, than spend it on the Alaska National Guard. Meeting Is Tense Then for another half hour the session continued with members popping up to speak their beliefs on the subject, and in whith R. E. Robertson said ‘that he' was in favor of the National Guard and had, in fact, helped to bring a Guard unit here, but could see no ALL ALIKE? No other ice cream can compare with JUNEAU DAIRIES'.

He said that as a result of| the installation of Guard units here, the City has additional reve- | nue to the amount of $16,710 an-| nually, and that the revenue, which | is payed in small allotments, will be spent and put into circulation immediately. Hudson added that the expenditure of building an ar- mory in Juneau would be offset by the income by the time the building had lived only half its life. Secret Ballot Ballots were passed to the mem- bers as the session started into its third hour. After a few minutes, a vote of 40 to 47, killing the resolu- tion, was returned.
