Juneau Lodge No. 420 WEDNESDAY Feb. 5, 1947 COOPERATION IN ALASKA SHIPPING URGED BY RIVERS Delegates the fifth convention of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Lapor this afternoon heard Attorney-General Ralph Riv- ers in a talk in which he outlined the facts of the Alaskan shipping situation Rivers covered briefly the history which has brought the Territory to the present ultimatum from two major steamship companies who threaten to stop service to Alaska out of Seattle Seattle, stated Rivers, has com- pelled Alaska to knuckle under to a monopoly that has bccome a “‘bot- tleneck plus” to goods destined for the Territory “Our position is either Alaskan or otherwise,” Rivers said. “My posi- tion is Alaskan. The Seattle sh p- pers, backed by the vested inter- ests of teamsters and sailors unions, have aimed a gun at us. We must not take it lying down.” Alaskans, Rivers stated, to must make every effort to encourage and develop other sources of supplies. Thes: are available in Portland and Prince Rugert. For more than 20 years we have Lteen discriminated against by two letters in Section 27 of the Jones Act. Thost letters, E-X, from the phrase “excluding Alaska,” must eventually be changed to I-N: “in- cluding Alaska.” Yesterday afternoon various com- mittees were appointed, credentials, rules and constitution, on officers and finance, organizing and griev- ance. legislation and resolutions, ar- rangements and publicity. At the morning session today, committee reports were received. ‘The convention, following this af- terncon’s session, convenes at 9 c'clock tomorrow morning. e STEZMER MOVEMENTS North Sea, from Seattle, schedul- ed to arrive tonight or early tomor- row moerning, weather permitting, then goes to Skagway and Sitka and returns to Juneau southbound.

Commissioner of Education James C. Ryan, called for questioning on i the bill, stated that there are now |two communities that would be af- fected by it, with some others bor- dering on the 100 pupil status. Af- fected now would be Palmer, where approximately 350 pupils are en- rolled, with 18 or 19 teachers and a full four-year high school pro- vided. The Palmer school's present budget is now about $77,000, all paid by the Territory but with 850,000 of it coming from the Alas- ka Fund (Federal money), If in- corporated, the Territcrial refund to Palmer would be about $60,000 per year, with the remainder of the school's cost met locally, Alaska Fund money would be used for | other schools. | The other school now having 1100 pupils is at Dillingham, where about 120 pupils—60 percent of them native—are enrolled. That 000 per year, with six teachers and a full high school. Under the re- fund system, Dillingham residents would have to meet 15 percent of the cost, or about $3,000 per year. Schools just under the 100 mark are at Homer, Wasilla and Bethel. Line of Demarkation Discussion developed that some Senators held the yiew the line of demarkation should be lowered to 50 pupils, as the Board wm*xcl still have discretionary power ‘to see that no school was closed where the community was not able to carry the burden of its share of support, or where a lowering of school standards might result. Senator Chas. D. Jones particularly impress- ed the fact that schools with a high proportion of native enroll- ment may be in disadvantageous position to pay a share of expenses because of lower family incomes. Other Senators, led by Coffey, attacked the discretionary provi- sien of the bill as drawn, holding that the measure should absolutely require the closing of a school where enrollment is 100 pupils or more. Dr. Ryan gave his own view that a mandatory measure is to be pre- ferred. He said he had that’ in mind when he fixed the number at 100 pupils, feeling any community that large should have sufficient resources to bear direct school ex- pense. To a question by Walker, Ryan admittéd where discretion is invested in a board, there is con- siderable pressure brought to im- pede any change in prevailing con- ditions - BAND PRACTICE ON WEDNESDAY Working on the program to be given at the forthcoming concert, members of the Juneau City Band will hold the weekly practice to- morrow night at 8 o'clock in the Grade Schoel auditorium.
