Reilly, retiring as a member of the three-man National Labor Relations Board after term of five years, makes recommendations for changes in the Wagner Act that deserve a hospitable hearing both because of their prima facie reasonableness and the intimate practical experience behind them. Mr. Reilly suggests four Wagner Act amendments The first ie clarification of the status of supervisory employees. In view of the clear statement in the text of ‘the Wagner Act itself, defining employer as “anyone acting in the interest of an employer,” a for $1.50 per month; | $15.00 Office, 374. local news published an NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash " Alaska Newspapers, further clarification ought not to be necessary. But the present language of the Act, and even the specific declaration of both houses of Congress against the unionization of foremen, have apparently been insuf- ficient to prevent the majority of the NLRB from treating foremen and supervisors as employees under the Wagner Act. This amendment, therefore, has now become necessary. The second proposal of Mr. Reilly is the witir- drawal of the Act’s protection from unions which strike for objectives contrary to the Act or which could be achieved by orderly processes under the Act. This amendment is also clearly desirable on its face. 1411 THE HOONAH PROJECT A In that community sit 80 brand at a cost of between $548,000 and $750,000 (the exact figure is difficult to find). The new ready for occupancy since early this spring but are still empty because the Indians for built will not pay the price asked*for the dwellings Now, we understand, some contractors have been | asked to bid on removing the houses from Hoonah to a community where they can be used perhaps for veterans. It is difficult to see why before the project got underway. houses were built pletely destroyed by fire are now living in abandoned or left by the Army The sum involved is not small pares these fine dwellings that wanted by Hoonah residents | in the law itself.

On every hand we heard advocates of state- hood. Nowhere did we hear opposi- tion although I was informed that some does exist The people of the territory are to| vote October 8 on a referendum auestion: “Are you in favor of statehood for Alaska?” This is the first step. If the vote is favorable, as I judge it will be from the evi- dence of Alaskans’ attitude, the territory’s Delegate to Congress will press statehood legislation at the next session. Alaska’s present Dele- gate, E. L. “Bob” Bartlett, is strong for statehood. So is Gov. Ernest Gruening. S6 am I. Only under statehood, I feel, will Alaska real-| ize her great destiny. Rep. Bob Poage, of Texas, has an answer. He believes Alaska should be at least three states. Then no one of them would be larger than! Texas. ! One of the most interesting plac- | es visited was Barrow. It is the fartnest north settlement under the American flag, only 18 degrees of latitude from the Pole. The 500 Eskimo inhabitants turned out en masse to greet us, and one of the pictures I will always carry with me is that of the entire village de- scending to the beach to see us off. Someone started singing the hymn, “God Be With You Till We Meet Again” and soon every voice had Joined in At the Eskimo meal which the people of the village spread for us, it was announced that a child which had been born that morning had been named Don Foster, after the head of the Alaska Na- tive Service, who was a member of our party. Later I learned that the teacher and the minister had tried to get the parents to name the baby Julius after me, said “no.” I don't blame them. son is named “Jim.” but they My ESKIMO HITCHHIKER Fred Ipalook, secretary of the village council at Barrow and an outstanding Eskimo, had some busi- ness at Nome, which is weeks away overland. I invited him to come with us on the plane. As it hap- pened, the Nome area was com- pletely closed in by cloud and fog from the Bering Sea when we ar- rived overhead, so that we had to fly on to Anchorage. Fred had never been south of Nome. He had never seen a tree. He had never seen S0 many people as he saw at Fort Richardson and Anchorage. tlew Fred back The Army to recent issue of the Chicago Tribune carried a front page article on the only community in the United States without a housing shortage—Hoonah, Alaska arrangements for the purchase of the completed dwellings were not made But apparently the | and offered without any definite understanding or contractual agreement with the In- dians who lost their homes when the village was com- We understand the Indians ' unused installations are even though the price | has been cut from around $8,000 per home to about ‘The third amendment would grant to the NLRB the power tc cope with unions engaged in secondary boycotts, such as the refusal recently of the Teamsters | Union, AFL, and the Longshoremen and Warehouse- men, CIO, to unload AFL-manned ships at Coos Bay, Ore. It might prove as difficult in practice to prevent | such condary boycotts as to prevent direct strikes; but the NLRB certainly should not be compelled to give them ite direct or indirect support. “The fourth amendment suggested by Mr. Reilly is 'a transfer of the prosecuting and NLRB enforcement functions to the Department of Labor. This step, he argues, would make the board a fact-finding and Jjudicial body only and increase public confidence in | its impartial functions. The proposal certainly de- serves study.

Under present rules an employer can petition only if two or more unions are contesting for representation.
