Sea NO RELIEF IN SIGHT From indications, the present longshore strike is going to go on for a long time, which means that Alaska hard winter. Alaska's defense program is being held up. Numerous industrial con- struction programs as well as personal housing jobs want of materials. Many isolated communities will be unable lay in their winter supplies. Prices are being forced up on everything. Hurray for the Juneau longshoremen They were satisfied with their wages. They were satisfied with working hours and working conditions. But they didn't like a Federal law and when steam- ship operators refused to be part of plan dodge a Federal law, the longshoremen decided that was important enough to sell out all of Alaska for The strike is now entering its third week. When it enters its third month perhaps someone will begin to sit up and take account of just what the longshore- men have done The longshoremen can't win because they are bucking Federal law. But more important than that, they are bucking public opinion is in for a are folding for to a a to a WASTING MONEY The Empire has received several queries concern- ing the activities of George Sundborg, former manager of the Alaska Development Board, who resigned (July 1) because he couldn't get by on only $6,600 a year Repeated inquiries to the Governor of Alaska ing Sundborg’s position have brought no com- ment. So apparently he n't another job yet However, he has been U ing around the Terri- tory in recent weeks giving purely political speeches in which he is asking the people in various communi- ties not to vote for certain members of the Legislature The fact that the last Legislature cut Sundborg’s salary from $12,000 a year to $6,600 may have had something to do with his dissatisfaction with the way some legislators voted. But Sundborg apparently is not spending his own money on these political trips. The Territory paid him $240 the other dav on a voucher certified by the Alaska Development Board, even though there has been no announcement that he is even employed by the Territory It seems odd that if the Territory broke can still afford to spend money to send an ex-officer of the Territory arcund Alaska for the purpose of making political spezches.

In a little more than six months, this Congress made a sound but limited beginning of deflating the colossal administrative machine left us as a heritage of the New Deal and the war. It not only upheld but advanced materially the objective of a ! foreign policy. It carried out several invi (but did not allow itself the partisan luxury |raking in the record of preceding Democratic : minstrations Most important of the constructive achievements of muck- ad- - | of this Congress were the Taft-Hartley Labor Act and a measure just passed before adjournment—the armed | forces unification bill. Any listing of the major problems left untouched would be longer. Chief of them, probably, would be universal military service 'and real action to speed housing construction ! In respect to the danger of inflation, the record 'of the 80th Congress is not good. It authorized cash- | ing of five-year terminal leave bonds to the tune of two biliions. It authorized continued controls over imsmllmvm sales only until November 1. It passed two bills for radical reduction of personal income taxes, which, had they not been vetoed, would have been welcome but unwise.” After a decade and a half in the minority role, the GOP did not have an overabundance of effective leaders. But in both housés, the Republicans had managed, before the end of the session, to hammer into shape rather effective steering groups. Any appraisal of the Congress now adjourning for the summer, and probably for six full months, must give abundant credit for the loyal support extended | to the President and to Secretary of State Marshall in the realm of foreign policy. With few and minor | exceptions, the record of the legislative branch shows ‘a clear appreciation of the gravity of our foreign problems, and a willingness to entrust to the Chief Executive the powers, the weapons, and the funds necessary for the maintenance of a vigorous world polic: | Had the Republican Congress in Woodrow Wil- son's last two years been as fair-minded and as alert ito the imperatives of a new world position, the histor; of the world in the 1920s and 1930s might have been i very different and considerably happier. Worthless Strike rbanks News-Miner) Though it is nothing new for Alaska to have its freight held up by labor-management difficulties, the latest longshore strike is something new in the line of difficulties. | As we understand it, the longshoremen are striking | this time in an effort to get out from under the effects | of the new labor law that was recently passed by Con- gress. They want the steamship companies to agree | not to prosecute under the Taft-Hartley law in cvent of any work stoppages after the law goes o effect Such a strike borders on the outrageous in that it is a strike against a law that was never meant to touch anyone who did not try to exceed his rights Success in this strike would mean that part at least of the Taft-Hartley law would be nullified. The effort on the part of the longshoremen seems to indicate that the union belisves there is a loophole in the labor law which makes the strike worthless on the fact of it. If there is such a lcophole, allowing the spirit of the Taft-Hartley bill to be violated through an involuntary conspiracy between the unions {and the ship operators, we can look to Congress to con as it would ordinarily deem it to win such a contract provision plug the gap as be, the strikers can't anyw Worthless or not, however, the longshore strike is cn and Alaska freight is being held un. Looking at it one w: we'd brand the strike unreasonable and de- clare we'd tighten our belts, roll out our truck and freight planes and let the longshoremen starve them- selves into submission Looking at it another way, we'd say grant | lengshoremen’s demands and get them back to work, | meanwhile turning on the heat to have Congress or validate the agreement | the courts in in Virginia, Will-'scientiously hold aloft the bright every type of tanner of fighting Jjournalism . to international raised by E.

Notable among these is a ! definite slowing down in the num- ber of job-seekers entering lh'\ Territory toward the end of July. Employers are hiring the applicants at hand rather than wait for a large number of applicants from ! whom to chocse.
