Folta, Al- aska Attorney-at-Large for the De- partment of the Interior, today moved that the Juneau Chamber of Commerce pass a resolution protest- ing against the defense strikes and | forward a copy of the resolution to high officials at Washington. | Folta expressed the view that leg- |islation should be passed making | stoppage of vital defense work through labor strikes illegal and ‘requmng that any grievances on the part of labor be filed with em- ! ployers and a Federal labor media- tion board given authority to hear |complaints and settle all disputes. If this country is to become the | “arsenal of democracy,” the wheels lof defense industry must be kept! !turning, he stressed. | { Local Campaign Attorney R. E. Robertson, com- ymenting on the same problem, said 'he believed any resolution passed { by the Chamber should also include | plans for a public campaign in this | community to build up a sentiment ‘agninst such strikes.
