NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES - Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Alaska Newspavers, 1411 WORLD M/ \RKLT FOR U. S. GOLD Benefits of the world demand for gold at prices greatly in excess of $35 an ounce should be available to American miners, according to a resolution just adopted by the Board of Directors of the San Fran- cisco Chamber of Commerce on recommendation of its Mining Committee. Adrien J.'Falk is President of the Chamber and George B. Dodge is Chairman of the Committee whose members include representatives of large and small companies engaged in gold mining throughout the West. After noting that a market for gold bullion exists in India and North Africa, as examples, at prices in excess of the legal price in the United States and that the American government is supporting armed forces for the defense of countries where there is a ;reat demand for gold, the resolution proposes pro- cedure by the President of the United. States and the State Department whereby both the American govern- ment and domestic producers could obtain the benefits | of the high grade prices Support of the Chamber’s position is being sought from all of the Congressmen of the Western States as well as various organizattions concerned with the domestic mining industry. ‘Wartime conditions have brought many problems (o American gold producers and it is believed that participation in the present world market for gold will help them defray excessive current costs and be prepared to afford important employment in the post- war period White- (Washington Post) To most of America the war has brought little of the economic hardship and tightening of the belt which President Roosevelt warned us that we must expect. The income of the average family has in- creased more than enough to absorb the 23.4 per cent rise in living costs registered by the Labor Depart- ment’s cost-of-living index since January 1941. But averages often obscure the plight of large minorities. Some 20 million Americans—nearly one-sixth of our entire population—have been living on static incomes since the beginning -of the war. The serious plight in which they find themselves has been eeffectively portrayed in a report to the Senate Committee on Education and Labor Jby a special subcommittee on wartime health and education under the chairman- ship of Senator Claude Pepper. As the subcommittee put it, “they® dwell con- stantly in a borderland between subsistence and privation, where even the utmost thrift and caution do not suffice to make ends meet.” Included among them are many families of servicemen, largely or wholly dependent upon fixed allowances, and aged | or disabled persons living on pensions, social insurance or public assistance incomes, These are the most helpless victim of our wartime inflation. Almost equally disadvantaged, however, have been all the white-collar wage earners whose pay envelopes have not been thickened along with those of organized industrial workers. These white-collar workers, in large part, are !\'mploy(\(\s of Federal, State and municipal govern- | ments. They are unable, therefore, to bargain .ef- fectively for pay increases; and they are outside the | scope of the War Labor Board’s “little steel” formula | According to the Bureau of the Census, nearly two |'million nonschool State and local government em- ’ployees had average weekly earnings of $28.85 in ‘I October of last year. As nearly as can be estimated at ithe present time, the average salary for all public | school teachers during the 1943-44 school year will be | between $1600 and $1650, or about $32 a week on an annua] basis. Such incomes do not permit enjoy- ment ‘of even the basic requirements of well-being. They impose on the groups who receive them hard- segments of our population, It is scarcely possible to dissent, in our judgment, from the conclusion of , the Pepper subcommittee that ‘“such inequality of THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—JUNEAU, ALASKA WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1944 HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULY 26 Mrs. Jane Ann Cashel John Krugness, Jr. Raymond Paul Mrs. Don” Abel Beryl Marshall E.

HEART AND HOME: Although the war has made industrial equal- ity for women possible, political equality in the fullest sense has| not been attained. There is a por- tent that within a few months.a Constitutional amendment will pass Congr removing all limitations imposed by long outmoded laws. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Russla as | a postwar business ally will con-| tribute greatly. to the commercial | ncement of the United States; Astrologers advise the most friendly | relations with the country that will| {dominate Europe. NATIONAL ISSUES Free en- t inment for growing boys and zirls should be provided generoufi\‘ !in every community, according to| [the seers. In addition to play-| ships which greafly exceed those borne by otheru,,mndb club houses with Zym"“\"(‘,AR.RULOUS talking much, especially about trifles. {iums will be needed if juvenile de-| linquency is to be prevented. Self-| sacrifice is unjust, unnecessary and detrimental to the health, morale and efficiency of a nation at| war.” The sole remedy for those white-collar workers who are in the employ of State and local governments must lie in legislative action in States, counties and cities to increase their pay. Nongovernmental em- ployees can be relieved only through a more liberal and energetic WLB policy for raising substandard wages. We are not fearful that any such increases | will have dangerously inflationary effects. “Infla- | tion,” as the subcommittee cogently points out, “is | augmented by overspending on the part of those | | who have more money than they need for the es- ' sentials of life, not by the purchase ef necessities | by the poor or near-poor.” To grant low-income, white-collar workers a decént standard of living is a ‘ matter of elementary justice.

He was negotiating for three sites in British Columbia and one in Southeast Alaska. The following day the married men’s club was to take up the job of showing the ‘bachelors how to play baseball. Bernhofer was to be on the firing line for the married meh and MacSpadden on the receiving end. Other members of the team included Brown, 1b.; Jack Mullen, 2b.; Jack Kearney, 3b.; Jack Davis, Shortstop; Hannah, leftfield; Beaudin, centerfield, and John Kasafie, rightfield. Curzon had been selected to heave for the bachelors with Oliver ‘catching. The rest of the lineup was as follows: Henry, 1b.; Keaton, 2b.; Smith, ss.; Henning, 3b.; Watts, leftfield; Hagen, centerfield; Ryan, rightfield; Parmakoff, utility. The proceeds of the game was to be donated to the City Playgrounds Fund. John Reck, President of the First National Bank of Juneau, who had been South on business, was returning on the Northwestern. Juneau music lovers were to enjoy a rare treat within a few days when Miss Mary Berne was to appear in concert in the Elks' Auditorium. She was in Alaska on a short visit at this time and was to leave shortly for an extended concert tour to all of the larger cities in the States. Weather report: High, 56; low,.51; partly cloudy.
