Wash, RECORD TO-BE PROUD OF Alaskan labor unions have played a big ]mx" in war bond purchases, angl they may be counted on to participate in an even larger scale in the current Third War Loan Drive. President Frank Marshall of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor reports that in the past, locals where possible have purchased bonds from their treas- uries for the individual locals, but plans are being formulated to organize committees from both the local unions and the central labor councils to co- ordinate these efforts. Credit should be given to the unions that have made large or small purchases from the first oppor- tunity. The Hotel and Restaurant Employees, Local No. 878 of Anchorage, was only organized in February of 1940, but by the Fourth of July of that year had | purchased $3,000 in War Bonds for their local. In addition, this local received a Certificate of Award on November 27, 1942, in recognition of the fact that 90 percent of its employees was participating in the purchase of War Bonds through Payroll Savings. The Bartenders Local, Painters and Decorators Union and the Carpenters Local Union of Anchorage also made purchases of War Bonds with every avail- able dollar from the first.

EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA most Alaska unions, have taken pride in competition with and between locals. The largest purchaser known at this time for Kodiak is the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local No. 2162, which has invested a total of $11,000 in War Bonds to date. No records of War Bond purchasés are available at present for several unions throughout Alaska, but it is known that local unions affiliated with the Amer- | ican Pederation of Labor in, Cordova, Fairbanks, Sew- ard, Sitka, Ketchikan and Duytch Harbor are making every effort to buy bonds consistently. The Hotel and Restaurant Employees Local Union of Juneau has been a steady purchaser, and the Local Union of Carpenters in Juneau made a single purchase of $4,- 000 in June of 1943, an excellent showing for one small organization However, upon the basis of the vast amount of money represented by payrolls is through the many local unions of Alaska, the above is a small percent- Hundreds. of thousands of dollars are being the War Department in the Territory and the money, in a greater part, is being spent in age expended by Alaska.
