ALASKAN OIL At a recemt meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, Norman Ebbley, Jr., engineer for the S Bureau of Mines spoke of an area on Alaska's Arctic Slope which, according to all indications, may con- tain an excellent oil reserve and provide the basis for another Alaskan industry—something which will be badly needed after the war Ordinarily, the existence of such a reserve would not be too important. But oil men estimate today that in a year or two, the production of oil in the States will be unable to meet consumer requirements. | Ebbley, acting under the direction of District Engineer Robert S. Sanford, headed an expedition into the region this fall. The party uncovered six seepages, according to all indications, good ones. These | block off an area 20,000 square miles in size. Formerly, only two seepage areas were known to exist | The chances for developing these oil lands are good. Pipelines could be laid into Fairbanks with little difficulty and the distance is only about 600 miles. Cold weather extremes are not as bad as many would expect with the mercury rarely dropping to 50 degrees below. The development of these fields has long been the hope of Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond. But previously, little was known of the land, according to Ebbley. This was the drawback. Little was known of this area either when the United States Army began work on the Canol project perately scarce, and all these men have been cleared ~~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA in northern Canada, a job that may help during the - war but will be of little value to the United State: which is spending millions on it now—after the war when the operations will go to Canadian ownership. This demand for oil now is not something tha' will fade with the end of the war years pass, unless new reserves are tapped. should be the purpose is something that not only for Here thoroughly, Jabor policy and in part of Congress' ill-considered Connally-Smith Act. While that law makes it illegal to “encourage’ another man to strike, it apparently does not make it illegal for a man himself to strike. This places the Government in the foolish position of being able to do very little about a man who is can- didly, striking, though'it can put a.union official in jail if it can prove that he urged the man to strike. Apart from this, the only important step that the Government can take under the law is to seize the property of the owners. Thus the chief penalty falls not on the strikers but on the person struck against. But as the most important strikes that have taken place since the outbreak of war have been directed not against the owners, who are today comparatively powerless, but against the decisions of the Govern- ment itself, it would be difficult to imagine a more irrelevant penalty On the railroads the situation emphasizes even more the internal contradiction of existing Federal labor law. The same Connally-Smith Act that at one point makes it illegal for any person to “coerce instigate, induce, conspire with or encourage” any person to strike in a plant which has been taken over by the Government provides that the Government itself must sponsor a strike ballot if even a small minority of the workers ask for one. " Now it is com- pletely irrelevant, so far as the war effort is con- cerned, whether the Government does or does not have technical “possession” of a plant or faci in which a strike takes place. The only thing that matters for the war effort is whether or not the strike does take place. Yet the Connally-Smith Act stands. also stands, because the President has never sug- gested that it ought to be suspended in wartime, the Railway Labor Act, upon which the Connally-Smith Act was in part confusedly modeled. So we are now about to witness the fantastic spectacle of a strike | ballot, conducted under Federal law, which is to | cide whether the Government is to be forced to set | aside its own wage decision or whether the country railroads are to be brought to a stop and its entire | war production paralyzed. In the face of these | major threats to our whole war effort, Congres: rather than admit that it has made a bad mistake, refuses to touch or discuss its Connally-Smith Act. | And the Administration continues, as it has “rom the | beginning, to refusé to admit that the war emer- | gency requires some revisions in our previous labor laws NOTICE 1S HEREBY GIVEN by FBI and Army | NOTICE On the contrary, the shortage will grow more and more acute as the investigated of aiding Alaska’s post-war comeback, but for the.purpose of helping to avert an oil panic for the entire United |} HAPPY BIRTHDAY t DECEMBER 4 Mis.

This is an innovation which may end tight labof control of wages and working conditions in Akron, Ohio. Practically every big tire com- pany asked WPB approval for new plant construction to meet the de- mand for production of synthetic tires. But Rubber Workers accused the industry of trying to break the adv. wage levels by moving to cheap- - labor areas. Ex-Rubber Director Bill Jeffers supported them, told the companies to go home and re- vise their “fantastic” plans for ex-, pansion.
