NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. LIVING COST According to a survey made by the U. S. Depart- ment of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the fol- lowing changes took place in the prices of retail goods, rents and services in Juneau, Anchorage and Fair- banks: Retail prices of goods and services important in the purchases of moderate-income Alaskan families advanced 0.3 per cent in Fairbanks and Juneau and 04 per cent in Anchorage between June 15 and Sep- | tember 15, 1945. During the year ended September 15, 1945, consumers’ prices increased 1.4 per cent in An- chorage, 0.1 per cent in Fairbanks. and 0.7 per cent | in Juneau. Retail prices have advanced 5.1 per cent in Anchorage, and 2.6 per cent in both Fairbanks and Juneau since March 15, 1943, the earliest date for which consumers’ price indexes in Alaskan cities were pre- pared. Food costs in Anchorage advanced 1.3 per cent be- tween mid-June and mid-September due to essential increases in the price of eggs and fresh fruits and vegetables. High egg prices were also primarily re- sponsible for increased costs of family food bills in Fairbanks and Juneau, where food prices rose 0.3 per cent and 05 per cent, respectively, during the same | period. Fresh fruits and vegetable prices increased 3.0 per cent on the average in Anchorage, but declined 2,5_) per cent in Fairbanks and 3.8 per cent in Juneau. The average cost of clothing in Juneau rose 2.5 per cent between June 15 and September 15, reflecting the further disappearance of lower-priced apparel. In Fairbanks, lower prices for men’'s and boys’ shirts, girls’ coats and women’s suits, coats and housedresses, brought the average cost of clothing down 0.7 per cent. Clothing*eosté in Anchorage remained unchanged over the three-month period ending September 15, following ia rise of 1.7 per cent during the previous quarter. Fuel and electricity prices in Fairbanks advanced | 3.1 per cent over the quarters, when retailers been selling wood below ceilings raised their prices to ‘th(- OPA ceilings. This increase more than offset a slight decrease in the price of fuel oil. Fuel and elec- | tricity costs rose 1.3 per cent in Fairbanks between September 1944 and September 1945, but declined 3.3 | per cent in both Anchorage and Juneau during the | same period due mainly to a drop in fuel oil prices. | Housefurnishings costs in Juneau advanced 4.3 per cent between mid-June and mid-September as prices | of brooms advanced and lower-priced curtains were no | 1onger available. Lower prices for dining room furni- |ture and dinnerware accounted for a drop of 15 per cent in the average cost of housefurnishings in Anchor- age. A slight decline was reported in the costs of housefurnishings in Fairbanks. Increased taxes on whiskey and gasoline were re- flected in a rise of 0.2 per cent in the cost of miscel- laneous goods and services in Anchorage and Fair- banks. The increase on these commodities in Juneau was more than offset by lower prices on sunlamps, drugs, and plane and boat fares. Rents in Anchorage increased’ 0.9 per cent from March 15, 1945, (the date on which rents were last previously surveyed) to September 15, 1945. No change was reported in the total rent bills for Fairbanks and | Juneau during the same period. Unionizing Foremen (Cincinnati Enquirer) Current attempt to unionize foremen in industrial plants throughout America is of interest to the general | public as well as to industry and labor. For it is apparent to anyorre who will consider the facts that such efforts, if they are fully successful, will result in increased costs of consumer profucts. These costs, naturally enough, must be relayed to the buying public and will bring considerable advances in living prices. For generations both management and labor have considered the foremen in the shop as management’s 'presentative there. It has been the duty of the foremen to see to it that production levels were main- tained; that the “front office” received full value for wages paid. Under the unionization program, man- agement contends that the foremen would cease to represent the employer, and would give first loyalty to the union and the union's members. Heads of prosperous and efficient business con- | cerns naturaly feel that, if unionization becomes com- plete, they must install other representatives in the shops and factory lines. This it seems, would be only |fair and sensible since maintenance of production and | production rules are necessary to the life of any industrial concern. But if management thus is forced to add new personnel to taKe over a part of the obligations now carried by the foremen, pay rolls cer- | tainly will be increased. And with increased pay rolls come increased costs—which the consumer eventually must pay It seems obviously unfair to business to ask it to sacrifice all representation on factory lines—and that is what unionization of foremen would mean. But it would not be unfair to management alone. America as a whole would suffer—suffer through decreased production and increased prices. Future E pay window when you buy U. S.
