Faulkner said that he seared the agitation for statehood and claims of Alaska’s ability to finance it would mean that Congress may take us at our word and further with- draw Federal support toward many Alaskan functions, further aggra- vating the Territory’s unstable ii- nancial condition. In answer to Rep. LeFevre's re- quest for Faulkner's suggestions “or clearing up the transportation prob- lem, Faulkner replied it is part of a national problem which the Taft- Hartley Law may help, but it elle M 2-pound bluefin he | v e Meyer, Jr., New York lin and Tuna Club, stands ught during the last day of tuna tournament. will | not be solved until we have a law allowing any man who wants 1o work to do so without the interfer- ence of any union or any man. Robert Sheldon, Director of Al- aska’s Unemployment Compent tion Commission, testified as a it dent of 50 vears in Alaska that he feels if Alaska is not ready statehood now it will never be ready. He charged “special and Outside interests” with pursuing policies ! preventing the development of Alaska. | Sheldon Quizzed Asked by Rep. Dawson to produce proof of current skullduggery on “special interests,” Shel- dn said it was hard to prove and | “I don’t say I know of any now.” Rep. LeFevre asked Sheldon if he thought, following his charge that the part of the big inte didn't want state- hood for Alasl that tehood would discourage the investment of outside capital. Sheldon said he did for | the longshore dispute. Moore's figures of a longshore- but tlement of ie said that $2400 annual wage for men was too low for Juneau, that 65 ver cent of the workers in' Alaska get the same rate of pay as Seattle, 35 per Seattle scales, more pay Haas claimed U shipping monopoly was broken and other lines allowed to serve Alaska ports, the situation would be im- proved. Haas gave a report on his efforts, with the aid of Govenor Gruening, to settle the longshore strike before it was called. As a result of San and 25 per cent get Francisco and Seattle meetings with | labor and company officials, he said, an agreement was worked out which was satisfactory to all con- cerned. The Ilongshoremen were willing to sign the contract, but steamship officials were in Alaska at that time and would not ‘be back for 30 days, so the companies did not sign Haas said he warned them that because of the complications which might come up under the Taft- Hartley Law, the longshoremen might change their minds about signing if the matter was deferred, which was what happened when the union brought about a new dead- lock by asking for the insertion of a clause protecting the union from the terms of the Taft-Hartley Law. A recess was called until 1:30 p. m. at the conclusion of Haas' testi- mony. e MAIN SECTIONS OF ATOMIC REPORT APPROVED BY UN : Russia and Poland Oppose’ But Ten Nations Give Endorsement LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. 8.
