GOOD MOVE The Alaskan Department has done much to ease the agitation aginst removal of Alaska’s travel control in issuing the new simplified regulations. It appears that the new system is every bit as good as it sounds What it amounts to is that most Alaskans can obtain a more or less permanent travel permit, a small, wallet-sized card which is easy to carry, and which will serve as the necessary permit for traveling Outside and in again. For those who already have obtained a permit to travel all that is needed to obtain one of the cards is to fill out two forms at any travel control office, present a picture which will be affixed to the card. A person holding such a card will be able to travel after this just about the same as in the past by showing the ‘card upon boarding a vessel for the States, and may also re-enter Alaska on the same Vi The card is similar to the Coast Guard identifica- tion cards which were issued during the first months of the war. Previously, persons who had not been residents of Alaska before Pearl Harbor could not obtain a round trip permit to travel. This meant that days would be spent in Seattle in securing a permit to go “back home."” The new system also will greatly aid transporta- Washinglos | | quire it (Washington Post) The furor created by the CIO's announcement that it had set aside a $700,000 fund for political purposes suggests the need for careful reexamintation of the problems resulting from the growing political influence of organized labor. As previously stated, we do not believe that the solution for those problems lies in sweeping legislative prohibitions. What is called for is a type of regulation aimed at abuses which at the same time doesn’'t deny the right of organized labor to formulate and work for certain political objectives The experience of the British in regulating the political activities of trade unions offers valuable suggestions for our guidance because British trades unions have developed under a liberal form of gov- ernment having much in common with our own, political institutions. Furthermore, the British have progressed further than we have. There the trade- union movement had reached a mature stage of devel- opment when American unionism was still in the embryonic stage. It is thus worth noting that there does not appear to be any serious questioning of the vight of trade unions to be in politics. They are, in | fact, the chief financial support of the Labor Party. !The aim of regulation is simply to make sure that the funds collected from members for the further- ance of the specific purposes for which the union was ! established shall not be diverted to serve political ends. In 1913 Great Britain required specific authoriza- tion for use of union funds for political purposes by |a majority of trade-union members voting by secret ballot. It was further provided that any member who did not wish to make political contributions could | signify his unwillingness and would be entitled to a reduction in the amount of dues payable. That limita- tion did not fully meet objections to the employment | of general union funds for political purposes. In 1927 | legislation was accordingly passed requiring the writ- | ten consent of every member of a trade union rrom} which political contributions are sought, regardless of ; | whether a majority favors such contributions. For | political purpi s a separate leyy on assenting mem- | bers is required, and unions are also compelled to file annual financial statements regarding the disposition of these political funds. | To sum up: the British do not try to suppr ss ! the political activities of their trade unions. Indeed, | that would be attempting the impossible and inviting ! political catastrophe as well if they did. But they do | insist that members of trade unions shall be permitted | to decide for themselves whether they wish to pul‘ up funds to further the aims and assist the can- | political activities of the British trade unions to be | didates of the Labor Party. No doubt it hampers the | | compelled to segregate their political funds from | | their general funds. But a decent regard for the | rights of the individual requires not only that labor | shall have a voice in politics but that union members ! |who belong to minority groups shall not be coerced | directly or indirectly into financing political programs or assisting candidates not of their political choice. ald Nelson demanding that he is-| FEBRUARY 22 Evelyn Claire Hollmann Mrs. J.

NATIONAL ISSUES: An educa- tional campaign to apprise, ow South American neighbors of the real character of the people of the United States will be needed if real fellowship is to be achieved. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS : Crises are indicated by the planetary government this month. Astrologers forecast that nations attached to the Axis will make decisions of far- reaching significance. As the vic- tory tides rises there will be a com-~ pelling desire to escape from Nazi control. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of average good fortune.

Inside fact is| that the shoes you are wearing are! inferior not entirely because the best leather is rightfully being al-: located to the armed forces. That | is only part of the story. | Anotk reason why your shoes are inferior and your shoe bill higher is that certain industry meo- guls in WPR's leather and shoe branch have been blocking a pro- grem to prolong the wear of civilian shoes by the application of wax and | oil treatments to soles. The pro-| cess costs only 2 or 3 cents a shoe, but many manufacturers don't like it becausze it isn't flossy enough.} They say that consumers prefer| shoes with a high, light polish on | the sole, though they admit that| canton res of length Apparel Title of & monk S.

The company was expected to want 100 or so more miners as fast as it was possible to procure them. There were already 450 men employed at the mine.
