NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspepers, 141 Pourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. FTA Vs. A small battle is developing in Alaska between the Food, Tcbacco, Agricultural and Allied Workers Union of America, CIO, and the Alaska Marine Workers Union, AFL. The FTA, which recently struck for higher wages in the salmon canneries of Alaska, and h€ld up vital shipping through a picketing of the docks which kept Alaska-bound ships from sailing north, was successful in securing a minimum wage of $1.06 for Class C work, $1.12 for Class B and $1.18 for Class A with overtime for the three classes respectively of $125, $1.30 and $1.35. The FTA claims that AMWU has attempted to “sabotage our strike which is the first real struggle that has been conducted on behalf of the resident cannery workers in many years.” The AMWU had announced that it would continue to operate under the present contract which was good for the “duration,” and the “duration” is not yet officially over. The AMWU contract provides for an automatic increase when the “duration” is officially ended by Congress to $1.04': Class C straight time, $1.09 Class B, and $1.16 Class A. A Class D is also provided for at 98’z cents per hour. The FTA is crowing because it has secured a better confer & favor if they will promptly neity | remembered, as holding up needed housing improve- ments, etc. { Now, regardless of the small gams the FTA has made over the AMWU, it seems to us that the recent - - President vVice-President strike, which was against the cannery owners, yet held “Editor ana sfanager Managing Editor Business Manager as e strike against the ! up shipping and thereby als shipping lines, lost a great deal for the FTA in good will from Alaskans. The strike was supposed to be against the can- neries, but the result was that small and large busi- ness men all over Alaska lost m result of the lack of shipping thousands of dollars was I cities almost hit bottom. We don’ has anything to crow about at all rt of thing which reflects against all uni tions and which will eventually, unless common sense ) is used by labor leaders, result in legislative curtailment ! of the privilege to strike.

For generations the Chinese people | have faced peiiodic shortages of food—and those short- | ages have taken untold millions of lives; brought | untold suffering and sorrow. Today history is repeat- | ing itself and America—as she has done in the past— is taking steps to alleviate the situation. Even now tons upon tons of supplies are moving by land, sea and air into the several provinces most seriously affected. | China's ancient food difficulties stem from two main causes. One of these is lack of transportation. The other is poor soil. Both, in time, may be im- proved. But the process will be a lengthy one. Still, China ‘must take certain steps if she is to bring her people even a small measure of security from famines —and certainly in this advanced stage of civilization this should be possible. In large districts of China the peoble live a season- to-season existence. Unlike Americans, they lay aside no great reserves of foods to take up the bad production years come. They alv the bottom of the barrel when harvest time rolls 'round, and when harvests fail the Chinese must eat the bottom of the barrel. Lack of adequate transportation makes distribu- tion much more cumbersome than it is in the United States. When crops fail in one area, the citizens have small opportunity to bring in produce from seme dis- trict where crops have been plentiful. Many provinces are without railroads. Few highw; worthy of the name can be found in the interior districts. As this is written, American relief experts are finding it neces- sary to fly food into suffering caommunities because no other transport is practical or possible. Before China can establish security from famine, she must so improve her soils that larger and better crops are possible, and she must so improve her trans- portation systems that available supplies can be ef- ficiently distributed. Until such steps are taken, her and time as a| Juneau, alonc,] e . Arthur Adams ie Mrs. George Eggleston e Shirley Ann Edwards Grace Harkins |e M. M.

The Washington Merry-Go-Round - (Continued from Page One) Republican, who served as “stooge” for the auto dealers and frankly admitted to newsmen that the auto dealers wrote his OPA amend- ment. He confessed at first that be didn't know exactly what it meant. 4. Rep. Jesse Wolcott, Port Hu- ron, Mich., Republican, sometimes called the “General Motors spokes- man” in Congress, who introduced the cest-plus-profit amendment to the OPA bill, which according to the OPA makes price control com- pletely unworkable. 5. Rep. Ed Gossett, Wichita Falls, Tex., Demccrat, who inserted the de-contrcl amendment for The National Association of Manufac- turers, whereby all goods reaching 1940-41 production levels escape further price control. OPA experts say this actually would mean no price control. COTTON IS STILL KING Of these organized hatcheters of price control perhaps the most ramified lobby is that conducted by cotton—with some side help from wool. Most people have the idea that the cotton lobby is supported by cotton farmers, but just the op- posite is true. Southern farmers, now cwn cnly ab: cent cf their he | Jacobs chiefly o called the hearing—the futility represent the big textile mills which have accumu- lated cotton and want prices in- creased. Other mills which are short of cotton don’t enshuse over increases. Most powciiu: porsonage behind Blake and Jacobs is Charley Can- non of Cannon towel fame, probao- ly the wealthiest cotton manufac- turer in the country. Cannon has about one year's supply of cotton already on hand, purchased at be- iow parity which was 23 cents a pound. With the price of raw cot- ton now around 29 cents he can make about 14 cents profit for ev- ery yard he sells. The higher the price, the more his profit. No won- der he opposes a price ceiling for cotton! It was Blake and Jacobs who helped push Senator Bankhead into his alleged probe of the clothing chortage, a probe which didi't go anywhere near the basic funda- mentals. Bankhead let his friend Charley Cannon ramble on for hours, saying little, while experts like Professor Gardner Ackley of the University of Michigan were cut short with this query from Bankhead: “We don't want any testimony ifrem you. You know nothing about economics.” Prof. Ackley, of course, was only one of the top economists of the country and chief of OPA’s textile pricing division. Senator Bankhead, however, was only interested in proving one point for which he had of ago the gr OPA % now in the hand: 3. Another cotton lobbyist is f0 that t Claudius Murchison, president of nothing { pric the Cotton Textile Institute, form- n crop m.h.u\w'- er University of North Carolina largely bought up. prefesscr, and former official of using the “downtrod- the Commerce Department, who, den” faimer = their battle cry, however, restrains his activit lobby: did such an effective job Murchison represents many mill for the cotion and wool industries Which do not have large supplies that their bcsses should increase ©Of cctton on hand and would lose their already lush salaries, Here is money if they had to buy raw the lobby stocks on a higher-priced market . 1 Wi Manufacturer: president of Presbyterian College. Clinton, 8. C, and close to the Cannon Mills. Jacobs is a charm- ing, versatile gentleman who is even vice-president of the U. S Lawn Tennis Association, and real- ly knows how to win friends s influence people. Despite his soft-spoken charm Jacobs did not hesitate to down an implied threat to Govern ment cofficials in March that un- less the textile industry was guar- anteed price increases, textile man- ufacturers would not produce cloth “We'll settle fcr a flat cent increase straight board, now,” he warned. “But if we idon't get it, we don’'t know wha we'll ask for later.” CANNON'S COTTON CAMPAIGN 2.

On the wool side, one of most effective back-stage opera- tors is Arthur Besse, president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers. Besse comes from an old New England family, be- lox to all the best yacht clubs, surer of the North American Yacht Racing Union and does his lobbyir a blue-chip basis. His field is ameong New England con- gressmen One Senator he however, is Charley Tc of New Hampshire. The Besse family, re- presenting the wool manufacturers, and the Tobey family, 1cpresenting the wcol workers, have been on the oppesite sides of long-standing feud, and Tobey will lead the floor cannot sway, fight to protect OPA. Best job Arthur Besse pulled was 0 get a postponement of a Civil- lan Production Administration or manufacturers der shifting wool the | over to more men’s woolens with less going to the women. This, however, together with the rest of the story of how the wool and cotton lobbies pulled the wool over the eyes of certain Congress- men will be told tomorrow.
