NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldx., Seattle, Wash HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT Making their own appraisal of the turbulent and costly impasse in labor relations, the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor has urged that the National War Labor Board he abolished and gov- ernment restraints on wages be eliminated. “Wage rates,” the board believes, “should be permitted to rise to their proper level through the free exercise of collective bargaining.” This is open to some objections, and particularly in the light of William Green's comment that “price control," as distinguished from control of wage rates, should be continued “until the emergency is over.” The general idea is to let wages go up, to enable workers to take home wartime pay despite shortened working hours, but to keep prices at their ceilings. This would be not wonderful—if it would work. Unfortunately, it would merely nice, but absolutely Congressitonal Coercion (Alaska Weekly) The report of the subcommittee of the Committec cn Appropriations cf the House of Representatives has rec come off the press. This hard-working anc doubtless conscientious committee spent 38 days in- specting Alaska and returned to sottle all questions concerning the development of Territory from agricultural possibilities to statehood in a tone of pedagogic finality “The committee was repeatedly reminded,” said the report, “that the Territory of Alaska has no basic tax laws, no gas tax, no property or land tax outside of incorporated towns and villages, and no income tax.” We cannot doubt that the committee was “repeatedly reminded” of such a deplorable condition as the committee was accompanied on most of its trip by Governor Gruening. There follows a page right from the Governor's tax book wherein the cannery and mining industries are held up to scorn for the paucity of their con- tributions to the Territorial revenue and the high crime of absentee ownership, Now comes the lead pipe: “It is therefore’recom- mended that before the Congress considers proposals for the construction or extension of roads or the building of some urgently needed bridges in Alaska, it be made clear to the citizens of that Territory, and especially to members of both houses of the Territorial Legislature, that Alaska must accept its full share of the financial responsibility in any future road-building program or ot erritorial improvements. While neither the passage of adequate tax legislation by the a nor the passage of legislation by. Congress putting Alaska on a parity with the United | States in connection with the receipt of Federal aid highway funds is actually under the jurisdiction of this committee, it nevertheless, called upon to recommend substantial appropriations for the con- struction and repair of roads in the Territory, and it believes that serious consideration should be given to the proposal that future road 'building in the Territory be carried on under basic law similar to that provided for continental United States.” In other unless a tax program pleasing to this group of Congressmen is passed, it will with- hold perfectly proper and normal appropriations for essential bridges, it, itself, characterizes as “urgenly needed.” Also the comparatively few thousand people who are trying to develop the wealth of Alaska and open up its resources for the national good will be asked to place themselves on a par with the citizens of populous, prosperous and highly industrialized com- munities of continental United States in the matter of road building Just what is Alaska’s “full share of financial responsibilit in the matter of road building in this Territory which these gentlemen claim not to be ready for statehood, and in which more than 90 per cent of the area is still owned by the Federal government with millions of acres bottled up in one kind and another of “reservations”? Who is to decide, the the own is, words, not. Wages are a major item of manufacturing costs, peqpie who will pay the bill or this group of peripatetic transportation costs, and indeed all costs of goods and | congressmen? services. In many cases, wages represent virtually all the value of the finished product, delivered to the ati-mpted coercion of this report. consumer. To allow wages to rise freely is to compel price increases decision is taken to facilitate general wage boosts. There could of course be but one result from this policy—inflation of a serious character, which would work an extreme hardship on people of fixed or rela- tively fixed incomes, and also would deprive wage earners of the real benefits of their wage increases DOUGLAS NEWS | HUNTER RETURNS Eli Post returned yesterday from a 10-day hunting trip in the Sey- mour district with a big 200-pound‘ buck and some ducks.
