The Juneau Chamber of Com- merce, at its noon meeting today, heard a report from its Transpor- tation Committee headed by Jack Fletcher, declaring a tentative meeting with CIO Organizer Chris Hennings and ILWU al 16 set for this evening; if the longshore- men are not too tired from unload- ing the steamer Alaska here today Following the meeting, the Juneau Local is expected to vote on work continuance At least two more vessels now enroute to Juneau will be affected by the outcome of that vote: The Alaska Transportation Company’s Northern Voyager and Palisana. The Northern Voyager, due here late Friday—after the truce deadline— will be sent right on past this port if unloading is not assured before her arrival A similar procedure will be followed by the Palisana, due Sunday. Aboard the Northern Voyager is 480 tons of freight for Juneau— no perishables among it. In the Northern Voyager's cargo is 122 tons of cement upon which local contractors are dependent for con- tinuance of work on construction projects already under way. Should that cement by-pass Juneau, it is expected that building workers out- numbering the longshoremen many times will be thrown out of work. Also in the Juneau freight aboard that same vessel is 93 tons of coal. ‘The indication that the Inter- national is not supporting the strikers at Ketchikan and Juneau came in an announcement made at Seattle stating that CIO offi- cials there say they have recom- mended _to Alaska longshoremen that they continue work until the government approves wage issues.

Dur- this time with the aid of an neer a survey of waterpower and timber stands has been planned on Admiralty Island in or- der to explore the possibilities of establishing a pulp mill in that ea for the production of either ulphite or groundwood pulp for wstern markets “The shortage of pulp is causing iderable concern among the in- search for new sources of raw material It is now recognized the reserves of the States are rap- idly becoming depleted, and with pulp imports from the Scandanivian countries having dwindled to but a 1I* percentage of their pre-war level, the shortage has become acute. In the face of this shortage and with an increasing demand for products of cellulose derivation those in the industry look toward developing new sources of produc- tion. Naturally they prefer timber within the North American contin- ent under U. S. control, and in this respect the reserves of Alaska er a very appealing picture. “Since the establishment of basic industry of this type in Alaska will require the investment of huge sums of venture capital, it will also require that Alaskans meet the situation on a realistic basis. It will call for a broadened outlook on their part in order that their aims be linked with those of the U. S. proper from an economic standpoint.
