The need of defense work is also {emphasized. The answer is why should Seattle be favored with all other Pacific Coast ports cut out for supplying Alaska? The Governor's communication makes a point that John L. Lewis, a known non-Communist, refused !to sign the non-Communist affidavit contained in the | Taft-Hartley law. There's no comparison between Lewis and Harjy Bridges i Lewis, whatever may be his faults, has always been ia staunch American. He was purged as leader of the CIO by Red infiltration.
